Today's Kitten of the Day is Helen, named for Helen Keller because she's had troubles with her eyes. Helen moved in last Sunday! Helen would rather that I not send email.

    Cat’s instinctively know, block the screen , sit on keyboard.  

  • redwing37

    I’ll bet it’s a hearth equivalent (heat and light).

    • Felton / Moderator

      That doesn’t explain why cats sit on the book you’re reading, unless you’re reading Heat and Light.

      • ocker3

         The cat also knows where you spend a majority of your time, and thus positions itself for maximum petting availability

      Yeah, I knew him too, Horatio.

    A friend brought home a stray cat that stayed hidden and would only come out to eat and use the litter box when no one was at home.  They named her Anne Frank.

      I’m sorry that this is as funny as it is, but it cracked me right up. What a world, what a world.

      • rattypilgrim

         You should be sorry. Don’t blame it on the world.

    • rattypilgrim

       Not funny.

      • wibbled_pig

        so, did you have your humor removed surgically, or did you lose it in a tragic accident?

    • Calvin Jae

      That is funny and poignant.

    All i have to say in this

    I don’t know how it started. I’d like to think i know how it’ll end.  I’ll ask you all this question… You know i’ll win.

    Honestly… the only people in the world who love cats this much have this going on…
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosi

    no seriously… if you feel strong enough about cats to argue with someone you’ve never met before… you rock that thing… i hope to god you don’t kill someone before you realize you are crazy…

    god bless your souls

      It makes your argument less effective to leave a letter off of the end of your hyper-link.  I’ll also ask you think other species (including us) don’t do the same thing.

      • Luna Em

        Argument? You think he has an argument? I found his comment so disjointed and incoherent I didn’t perceive an argument. Other than the vague impression that he thinks cat lovers are somehow dangerous, all I got out of it was his tragic inability to communicate in the written form.

        But perhaps I’m being too harsh. It could be that he is suffering from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_scratch_fever and is undergoing a temporary neurological impairment. Hope he feels better soon.

        • Over the River

          It is a quiet, peaceful Caturday I am spending with my cat Overlords. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I also don’t think English is his primary language.

            I accidentally “Memy meme is memy”. Is Hitler dangerous?

          • Over the River

            Is Hitler dangerous? Some can argue, not any more, but ….
