I haven't done any cat blogging in a while. When I saw this I couldn't resist.

My missus showed me this video, stating quite accurately that it depicts exactly what we go through every morning with Cole, with one exception: Cole can't wield a bat...yet. I figure it's only a matter of time.

It is with heavy heart that I must announce the passing of Bagheera The Magnificent. He died late this morning in the arms of my wife Deb.
He was an opinionated, stubborn cat, a leader of the feline members of the Weekend Pundit Household. He was also an occasional contributor to this blog, covering topics of import...to him.
As snooty as he was, he was also a great companion, a comfort during troubling times, and generally an all around "Gu' Boy". He helped Deb raise BeezleBub from the age of 5. He managed to decimate the chipmunk and mouse population around The Manse over the past 6 years. He lulled us to sleep with his purring, curling himself around the tops of our heads like a cat hat as we fell asleep. He would dry BeezleBub's hair after his bath because "he couldn't do it hisself!" He tolerated the other felines in the house, but personally I think he liked having the others around if for no other reason than to show his magnificence by comparison.
It's never easy losing a member of the family, even if they have four feet and fur. Bagheera was a sweet lovable cat, his curmudgeonly online persona notwithstanding.
Sleep well, old friend. May your supper dish always be full and your bed filled with catnip, Big Kitty.

I have a feeling that both Bagheera and Hilda would have to agree this kitten has a nasty habit. That at his/her age this kitten was acting more like Charlotte, our grumpy kitchen cat, is not a good sign.

Here it is, I thought that only Miley - our three-legged cat - was the only bilingual feline around. It turns out I was wrong, as this video proves.
At least Miley doesn't mind showing she's bilingual, unlike the character in the video above. As one commenter put it, "He does it so people will post noise complaints about the neighbor's dog."

This is supposedly an eHarmony bio video. Watch it and you decide: Real, or fake?
I have to admit that I kind of feel the same way she does about kitties (though may not quite so intensely). After all, we have eight cats here!

This is just too cute to ignore.

The level of incompetence is difficult to believe. Jewish Senatorial females have been around since the 1990s, guys. Ever heard of Diane Fienstein and Barbara Boxer? Jeez!
I completely agree with Lawrence Auster on this one. And I've subscribed to the monthly American Renaissance newsletter in the past. Racialist, yes. Neo-Nazi? Definitely, no.
Jared Taylor, the founder of the group, wrote a very valuable book on race relations in the early 1990s, _Paved with Good Intentions_.
The level of gubmit incompetence is so breathtaking. I'm never using the USPS again, for example. They lost a check to my mortgage company for nearly $108,000 that I sent certified, return receipt and had insured under priority mail. They can't tell me anything about the whereabouts. It's for the house fire that has caused my house to be completely gutted. The fire was Nov. 16. The check was from my insurance company.
2010 was one of those years. Death in the family--my mother in law who had lived eight years with us. A house fire that caused extensive smoke, heat, and fire damage. Two molars capped--then one of the caps broke and required extensive drilling for a replacement. Three huge, unexpected bills: $7500 for a new furnace, $950 surgery on a wonderful young cat who ingested a huge bolus of plastic, and over $1200 in car repairs. Our savings have been wiped out.

I receive an e-mails every week about some of the more popular videos making the rounds on YouTube, Break, Yahoo, and a host of other video sharing sites. Most of the videos are quite entertaining, funny, or enlightening. And sometimes, they're not.
At first I thought this one was going to be one of the funny ones. But after watching for a few seconds I realized it was heart-rending and tragic in a way that people who don't have cats might not understand (we have seven living with us at The Manse). It brought tears to my eyes. (Yes, I know "it's only a cat", but that doesn't make it any less sad or painful.)

FOUR IN 2009
Thursday night our cat Sweet Pea was ailing in a terminal way. She's had kidney failure diagnosed a year ago. The sweet tough bird--so ugly she was fascinating to look at, her bug-out eyes made her look as though she were severely under the influence of some pernicious drug--lasted this long. The fetching wife and I bought her before the brood began arriving, shortly after our marriage in 1997.
Her brother, Willow, died suddenly, without warning five years ago. The other animal we had, before the children, died in the spring. Duchess, the regal and highly intelligent golden retriever, was a devastating loss for me when she passed away at home on March 11. I'm the dog person; my wife loves the cats.
We also lost a bunny, Eeyore, whom I sometimes would cuddle with when watching Michigan State football games. I think stroking him reduced my stress, which that program amply dishes out.
And my mother-in-law who also lives with us--breaking my Rule 13: to live at least one hour's drive from a mother-in-law--lost her nearly twenty-year-old persian cat, Delilah.
Four animals in 2009, as my wife said during our special Friday night family dinner. No more, she said. I agree. Luckily we still have the gecko, the large fish tank, the two turtles, the three cats, and the two dogs (well, one's the neighbor's but he lives here during the day and tries to avoid leaving at night). The menagerie continues. And the fetching wife is on the internet prowl at local humane societies for another feline addition.

It's not often I will write or link to something emotional, something that brings tears to the eyes of even the most hard-hearted person. But I am this time.
It never ceases to amaze me how much effect our four-footed family members can have on us. It's also surprising how much we hurt when they hurt...and how much we grieve when they are taken from us.
And so it has been with Shawn Mallow and his cat, Treasure.
Go read their story.
Keep a hanky nearby.

When I saw this all thoughts of any kind of serious post ceased. Like its predecessor, this video gives you, the general public, some insight to engineers and how they relate to their cats. Trust me on this, cats are very important to engineers. After all, I am an engineer and I have seven cats sharing The Manse with me and my family.
