Daniel Evanson shot this photo of a cute school project that attempted to determine what type of music cats like, fast or slow. Unfortunately their hypothesis was proven incorrect by the uninterested cats.

Cyriak has created “Meow Mix, a bizarre music video using audio and video from his cat. Obviously this sort of thing has been done a million times before, but Cyriak’s video is a little more… visually intense… than most videos. Cyriak has also made the mp3 file available for download.

Urlesque is proposing that on 9-9-2009 we all take a break from posting about cats on the internet. Instead they suggest that you blog about many of the other wonderful non-cat animals out there. I’m just as guilty as anyone else when it comes to gratuitous cat blogging, so we shall join them in solidarity.

Urlesque is organizing a web-wide ban on cat-related coverage on 9.9.09 — A Day Without Cats on the Internet. Why only one day? Well let’s be honest, that’s probably only as long as we’ll last before a hilarious video comes crashing into our inbox. But for one day, we will abstain… for you… for the cats.

Here is the press conference with Urlesque’s Stephen Lenz and Kelly Reeves.

Wikipedia:

Yoga (Sanskrit) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India.

Wikipedia:

Alcohol intoxication (also known as drunkenness or being drunk) is a physiological state occurring when an organism has a high level of ethyl alcohol in their bloodstream, or ethyl alcohol is otherwise causing a physiological effect.

“Drunk Yoga” is like the Taoist 69 of these two contrasting pursuits. Where structured disciplined health & spirituality meets intentional self-poisoning inarticulate inhibitionlessness. It is a doomed love affair that is both offensively repugnant and utterly rubberneckingly irresistible.

You can review the full range of these on FunTuna.

Strangely “Downward-Facing Dog” is NOT on the list–I guess I lost that bet.

The same Drunk Yoga images are popping up a lot of different places now. It’s actually unclear who posted them first, but kllproject.lv was early on (and may be the originator); the site has also continued on from the original dipsomaniacal yogic-diptychs to feature another set of drunk yoga, cat-yoga(!!), and more. See examples below…

It also probably won’t shock you that a YouTube search for “drunk yoga” guarantees minutes of schadenfreudtastic delights.

Here’s a wondeful mini documentary by Marilyn Agrelo about the Moscow Cat Theater, run by Vladimir and his daughter Maria.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more unusual circus, or father-daughter performing duo. The Moscow Cat Theatre is just that: a travelling show of cats that perform amazing tricks for the owners who love and train them. Everybody in Russia may be used to seeing cats perform tricks, as the theatre’s manager explains in this funny, charming film, but felines walking tightropes, crossing the stage on giant balls and walking upside down is not a common sight in most countries. As balalaika and accordion circus score plays in the background, Creative Director Vladimir and daughter Maria combine their love of cats and stage to create a captivating act and illustrate the tricks of the trade – giving new meaning to the expression ‘herding cats’.

The video is also available on SnagFilms if you can’t view it on Hulu.

“Cat Ladies” is a documentary by Christie Callan-Jones that explores real story behind the “crazy cat lady” stereotype.

Cat Ladies is a one hour verité documentary that unravels the real story behind the oft-ridiculed ‘cat lady’ – a cultural stereotype and figure of ridicule for women of a certain age with too many furry companions. Through the intimate portrait of four unique ‘cat ladies’ we create a sensitive and emotionally honest portrait of women whose lives and self-worth have become intractably linked to cats.

It’s not the number of cats that defines someone as a ‘cat lady’, but rather their attachment, or non-attachment, to human beings. They create a world with their cats in which they are accepted and in control – a world where they ultimately have value.

Jason Scott’s cat Socks (full name: Sockington) is the most popular cat on Twitter and the Socks Army is unstoppable. You can celebrate his world domination with this wonderful new Sockington t-shirt designed by Megan Hopkins and R. Stevens.

Socks likes short runs in the hallway, inventing new cat beds, and going absolutely all-points-bulletin insane at the slightest provocation or based on internal signals that may or may not be coming from Mars. He also has the attention span of a weathervane. With the advent of the short-attention-span poster site twitter.com, Socks has finally found the home for his skittering, random thoughts. What started out as a simple diary of the life of a cat has expanded to a veritable Army Of Socks (Socks Army to their friends) who now follow Socks by the thousands.

Caboodle Ranch a 100 acre cat sanctuary created by Craig Grant in 2003 that is located Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It is now home to over 500 happy cats.

Cats should be able to roam free, and at Caboodle Ranch, that’s what they do. We are in the middle of 100 acres of wildlife. The cats follow me through the nature trails that I put in and maintain, they climb in tree forts that I’ve built and hide in underground dens I’ve dug for them.

Caboodle Ranch is currently facing some financial hardships. If you would like help out the ranch and it’s feline residents thrive, you can make a donation or buy some merchandise.
