Here’s my first attempt at a comic. [I know, I know… it’s dark humor.]
It probably won’t catch on any...way. I mean… give me one example of a witty (if slightly vain) cat rising to prominence through appearances on the funny pages.

Meeting my cousin, Smokey, for the first time
Me: Hi, my name's Furio. Nice to…
Smokey: [HISS]
Me: Well, now I'm mad, and we're spending the entire ...holiday together.
Smokey: [retreats]
Me: I'm going to haunt your every waking moment… which should only take ~20 minutes/day.

Ever since my modeling gig Wednesday, I’m having trouble turning “it” off. I may try to setup some “...go sees” in early 2010, to see where this’ll take me.

You’ll hear more about this in the next few week’s, but I got a gig as the spokescat for MollyMeow, ...a sweet new line of cat beds debuting in January.
Here’s some behind-the-scenes footage of my photo-shoot where I modeled the beds tonight.

I know I’m getting in late on the posthumous MJ-mania, but what do you think about a re-imagining of... the Thriller album from the cat’s perspective?
It’s sort of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, but musical, and without all the crotch...

The 777 photos studied by Villarreal showed the cats looking at a television, computer, DVDs or othe...r media 6 percent of the time and hiding under tables 6 percent of the time.
– I don’t agree with the illicit methods used in this Cat Cams study, but I’m glad that it’s now kno...wn much much time I spend procrastinating on the internet during the day.
Truth be told, I’ve been spending quite a bit more than 6% of the day under tables lately, but nobody’s perfect.

Lisa and I were having fun until she made a crack about my holiday weight gain. I figured I’d have one last snack before resuming my diet: her hand.

With Alex & Lisa gone for 2 days I can get some R&R.
I think I’ll sit out Black Friday this year, so ...apologies if you only get a “gift certficate for free hugs” from me.
I may also try “A donation has been made in your name to my litterbox.”

Are you sitting down? There’s a loud machine in the living room spitting out paper.
Breathe deeply. We’ll get through this together.

People expect pet cats to “just hang out, which isn’t realistic,” says Melissa Chan, behavior specia...list at the Houston SPCA. Cats are naturally active animals, she says, and “one thing I wish I could tell every cat owner: Cats want to work for their food.
– I didn’t want to dignify Melissa’s condescension with a response, but I’m just too miffed.
I sleep ...16 hours a day, and I’m a go getter compared to the cats I see on Big Cat Diaries. How sedate much she be if I’m “naturally active?”
Furthermore, I want to work for my food? Look, I love chasing fake mice (who doesn’t?), but what does that have to do with tasty tuna or Greenies treats?
She does make a decent point later in her piece: for reasons I can’t explain, I do get a kick out of touching hands with my nose. I’d do fist bumps too, but people never seem to greet me that way.

When Alex waits at his bus stop each morning, I signal to him from the window. We’re like Doug & Jackie Christie.

Usain Bolt adopts abandoned Kenyan cheetah cub, names it Lightning Bolt. Cute story, but “Lightning”... was a bit obvious for the name, right?
why not go with something clever, like Toggle.

Kept Alex company under his laptop. His iTunes was belting out one of my favorite artists “Cat Stevens”. I usually just call him “Stevens”.

I decided that I needed to think critically about how I approach sleep. You spend 16 hours a day doing something, you wanna do it right… right? My roommates are big on “pillows”, so I thought I’d give it a shot. After one nap, I give the “pillow” a 5 out of 10. I couldn’t...

The Feline Redemption didn’t go as planned. My escape got busted halfway down the building’s hallway. Shoot!

Vicious catnip hangover. I gotta remember that I’m old now; I can’t party like a kitten anymore. Why is it so bright in here?

I love my facebook friends. Thanks guys! You’re the whole reason I get out of bed in the morning, the late-morning and the early-afternoon… and after dinner.

Last night got a little crazy. I’m still putting the pieces of my birthday back together, but I remember: A special seafood dinner Too many catnip bubbles A huge new tree to climb G

Good news: I got an awesome tree for my b-day. Bad news: I’m too full from my special seafood dinner to form a smile. Uggh.
