Play Helen Hunt off, Keyboard Cat! So he does. And then he jams. It's a single link to YouTube, and you may skip it if you want. But you're missing out if you do, because as I type this I think this opus is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Play him off, keyboard cat. Thanks to billysumday for bringing this to my attention. Atheism. Collegiate Challenge. Flaming liquor. Soccer ball.

Artist and musician Gen Obata photographs unique places around the US, inserts his cat Lilly into them, and sells them as greeting cards. Lilly can be spotted doing everything from zooming on a trolley car in San Francisco to attacking the St. Louis Arch.

His name is Ugly Bat Boy, and no, there's nothing wrong with him. He's perfectly normal.

Forecast: Raining cats. No dogs in sight.

Cat wanders on stage during live weather broadcast. Judging from the reaction, this happens all the time in Germany.

Rastus: The Motorcycling Cat

NailsTheCat — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:58:05 -0800

Max Corkill and his cat Rastus were a site to behold as they motorcycled through New Zealand with Rastus perched on the fuel tank, sporting his custom helmet. They were tragically killed in a collision nearly 11 years ago. A series of books about, and inspired by, Rastus can still be purchased (worth the click for the cute photo) although it isn't clear if the proceeds go to the charities for which Max & Rastus raised funds. More photos on their memorial MySpace. Another motorcycling kittah and further details.

Cat Cam Roams Seattle

More catcam goodness (previously on Mefi). Cooper the cat roams his Seattle neighborhood. Via Phinneywood, an excellent neighborhood blog about the Greenwood and Phinney neighborhoods in Seattle. Seattle PI article, Seattle Weekly article. Moar Cooper cam pics. This is one of my favorites.

Applications to ship-in-bottle concept?

You thought Bonsai Kitty was a hoax. (SLYT; cute) Youtube has a bunch of videos of cats getting in bottles (YT search) and other glass containers (video link), but this is the best.

From the inside out.

Japanese Cat Weightlifting (SLYT) Just like an Olympic weightlifting contest, the tension builds as the weight increases. Who will win? The tabby? The brown and white? The white one with the funny curly tail? Or will an outsider sneak in with a final snatch?

Year of Da Cat

bonefish — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 06:22:33 -0800

Year of Da Cat: Known as surfing's "Black Knight" or "The Angry Young Man of Surfing" (even "the consummate surf nazi") for his attitude, but more famously as "Da Cat" for his feline grace on a wave, Miki Dora defined the soul of surfing when it exploded into 60's popularity via Gidget (a historical moment in which he had no small part). Cashing in as the go-to stunt surfer for beach party movies even as he decried surfing's commercialization, Dora parlayed his notoriety in the surf media (including a highlight in The Endless Summer) to icon status, venerated even more since his death in 2002. When a single encounter with the legend warrants a web page or two and movies have been made about chasing his enigma and taking up his challenge, a Hollywood bio-pic would seem obvious and indeed, the most recent Dora biography has been optioned by Leonardo DiCaprio (though surf bloggers have other casting choices, of course). Through the 1970's and into the 90's, Dora roamed the world as an itinerant scam artist in search of perfect waves, leaving dietrus behind that is now for sale, including his most prized possessions, correspondence and a "forsaken son" who produces a web comic that reimagines Da Cat literally, as a furry! Now in surfer heaven and channeled from beyond the grave, Miki is still suffering the kooks. Miki on MySpace: 1, 2. YouTubluar: Classic footage of Da Cat doing his thing in this tribute video by The Supertones. Dora and others in perfect Rincon. Endless Summer's Bruce Brown talks with Dora at the 1st Duke in 1966. Clip from beach party movie For Those Who Think Young features Da Cat stunt surfing and getting air in the dance pit as an extra. My favorite: Dora charges the notorius Dogtown break circa 1974. Sublime trim! Dora explains himself in this mid-90's clip. Some of the last footage of Dora surfing ever shot. In Search of Da Cat trailer. Author David Rensin (All for a Few Perfect Waves: the Audacious Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora) discusses the man. Photos: Iconic images by legendary surf photographer LeRoy Grannis. Last pic taken of Miki Dora.

There She Is, Step 3: Doki and Nabi

wanderingmind — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:52:46 -0800

We've seen the first two episodes. First they met, then they celebrated her birthday together. Now it's time for step 3: Doki (the rabbit) and Nabi (the cat) have their first date. I couldn't seem to link to the cartoon directly, but the link provided should go to their page containing the 3 current episodes (out of a total of 5).

A cat with no face is nonetheless loved very much. Let's be blunt, Chase the cat is a surprising creature. When she was only a few weeks old, she lost her face in a car accident. While this link isn't exactly NSFW by any use of the term, she is a disfigured cat - no face, no eyelids - and at first she's a little hard to look at. However, she is in no pain and she is obviously well loved and well taken care of. Chase is currently "employed" as a therapy cat, so that people can "feel just as great about themselves and realize that not everyone looks perfect and that is OK."
