Floppy Dog’s Valentine Joy!

February 14, 2012

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day and an even better evening. Of course, don’t forget to share some of that love with your fantastic little furry friend (Marvin is sitting on the table staring at me while I type with big pie eyes. It looks like love but it’s probably more of a ‘feeeeed meeeee’).

Here’s a really cute video with really cute felt dogs. And a nice little song.

It’s melancholy, sweet and a perfect little valentine’s day video, especially for the animal people who read the blog.

Enjoy! And remember, your lovely blogger can be bribed with champagne, whiskey, chocolates and chicken flavoured chips. No, I don’t know why  you’d need to bribe me, either, but I’m sure if you’ve got the goods, I can come up with a reason.

Happy Valentine’s Day, people and furbabies everywhere!!!


Introducing Soccer Cat!

February 13, 2012

And with the immortal words ‘and I think we have a cat on the pitch!’ a new legend is born.

Yes, a kitty decided to join in the beautiful game by not only running onto the soccer pitch, but also posing very glamorously before gracefully scampering to the side lines and allowing a human to pick him up and carry him off, no doubt to milk, fish, (if it’s my cat:) beef. And soft, soft kitty cushions and some extra fancy scratching posts to keep his claws in top condition.

Of course, there would be the world’s best catnip.

It’s a fantastic video because it’s real and not practised. Kitty decided to play soccer. Kitty ruled. Kitty made the players realise they were in the presence of a master of the game.

I do love the commentators saying how there was once a fox on the pitch, and how no one was trying to remove the ktity from the pitch.

Exactly. No one interrupts perfection until perfection decides it’s time for a nap.

Love this video! Yay, soccer cat!!!


What We’ve All Been Waiting For: Hamster Glamour Shots

February 9, 2012

It’s been all cats and dogs this week, so for something a little different, today we’re bringing you hamsters. And not just any old hamsters, no.

We’re bringing you a hot link to 30 pics of glamour hamsters!

Exciting, isn’t it?

These pics, courtesy of city rag, are very cute. While I’m not sure who wants to glam up some cute lil’ hamsters (I’m assuming the same kind of people who love to glam up their cats and dogs…ie: quite a few of us out there), I’m glad someone went to the trouble of doing so, as we now have these photos to cherish forever!

I never had a hamster growing up. We had mice at school that we were studying for science. My mouse peed on me. Then, over the long weekend, the pregnant mouse who’d just given birth ate all her babies. Quite traumatic for a 12 year old, let me tell you. That’s all I remember of the mice at high school. Not that mice are hamsters. But they have some similarities, like twitchy little noses, and those teeny little hands and tails and fur.

Mind you, these hamsters look like they’re totally fine with being glammed up; one might even say they’re rather into it. Unlike cats. Have you ever tried to put some clothing on your cat? They always look humiliated and give you looks that say ‘you better sleep with one eye open for the next week, that’s what you should be doing, otherwise there might be trouble.’. Cats are good at those kinds of looks. I don’t know how show cat people get away with putting their cats in costumes. Perhaps they did it from when the kitties were very small? I don’t know. If someone knows, please tell me.

Without further ado, here’s your hamster glamour shots. Enjoy!

 

 


A Dog Sleeping With His Kittens

January 31, 2012

Bringing you more hard hitting news from the world of pets, we’re proud to show you this video, of Murkin the dog sleeping with kittens.

Yes, it’s cats and dog today.

Mind you, the video needs two warnings, one) you may want to turn the sound down as the muzak is a little annoying, and 2) as someone commented, you may need to bang your head against the wall to feel like a man again, because this video is mega serious cuteness overload.

I know it’s only Tuesday, but for those of us who are renting, tomorrow is a day to feel broke as we hand over our hard earned cash to our landlords so we can keep a roof over our heads (or it’s just rent day), we may need a little extra cuteness to get us through.

On the bright side, tomorrow is the start of another Royal Treatment special offer – after all how else can a dog stay as soft, silky and shiny as Murkin if he doesn’t have some fantastic organic grooming products for dogs? Exactly, my friends, exactly.

I wonder what the special offer will be this time?


Catvertising!

January 29, 2012

This funny, fake ad for catvertising (cats are taking over the world people, or, according to some cats I may or may not know, they already have, but humans simply haven’t noticed yet.) really does get the mind going.

Think about how much time we all spend looking at cat videos (and dog videos, for that matter), and I think someone may be on to something here.

What do you think about catvertising? Do you think throwing a cute cat into an ad for whatever product you’re selling will work? Is there a fat cat on high making sure this happens and is raking in all the dough while we mere humans toil away for cats?

So many questions…

Anyway, enjoy the video, it’s lots of fun and very clever. Happy Sunday!
