Today is the 27th annual Cat Day in Japan.
As a gentle introduction to learning Japanese, let us explain that ‘Nyan’ means cat – which is why the meme below is known as Nyan Cat…

In celebration of the day, we expect many of Japan’s numerous cat owners to entertain us by uploading plenty of cat photos and videos! We’ll be sure to look out for the best of the best.
We’re not going to pretend to be good at crafty things here at Cat Information, BUT…these are very sweet felt cats really are pretty easy! There’s a good book of more ways to make cute little felt animals, too.
There have been many instances where autistic children have responded in a positive way to animals, and a little while ago we reviewed 3 books about autism and cats. We recently discovered another book about the amazing effect of cat-ownership on a young boy called Fraser Booth. Billy, a stray cat from the charity Cats Protection (UK), transformed Fraser and his family’s life, and this book is the story of how it happened.
Well, we started writing you a post about this, but it became so long and interesting, that we made it into an article! Read the full article here.
In a nut-shell, we look at compulsive behaviours in cats, and wool-sucking as an example. We look at suspected causes and suggested solutions. We hark on about feeding and environmental enrichment a bit more, too!
So, what is wool-sucking? Here’s an example of a Siamese cat sucking its tail – it’s cute, but is a variation on the wool-sucking behaviour so also evidence of an interesting feline behaviour…
We’ve been harking on about feeding enrichment for your cat for a while now, and here’s proof that it doesn’t need to be expensive – in fact you don’t need to buy anything to be able to feed your cat in a fun and entertaining way, as this video proves. Incidently we notice that this video shows a ‘double’ food-and-water bowl, which we do not recommend – cats prefer to eat and drink in separate places. Fussy felines….

We’ll let you decide, but we think Pickles needs to go on a diet! Fair enough, he’s a gigantic cat, but where’s his waistline? While he’s very cute to it’s hard not to celebrate such a magnificent cat, we think it’s a shame that this report doesn’t point out that he is overweight – it’s irresponsible to let the public assume this is a normal feline silhouette…but that’s just our opinion! What do you think?
We all know the story of the Tiger that Came for Tea, but what about the Puma that helped himself to your entire kitchen?! This story from Chile is accompanied by a rather impressive video!
