Here's a video of some people catching, tagging and releasing a wild pallas cat for a scientific study. It's about the size of a house cat but when it realises it can't outrun the human ... well, just watch how it reacts.

Oh my god, thank you so much for this. This is my new favorite youtube video. I love the Tuvan song, too. It makes me wish Richard Feynman had been able to get to Tuva before he passed away, but at least his daughter was able to go (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuva_or_Bust!)

Milkshake is generally unimpressed, probably because his previous owners gave him such a stupid name

Smudge does what he pleases

Milkshake is still boss though

My housemates cat, Tahi:

He is a total poo poo, wakes me up early, digs through the recycling and shreds any mail/magazines/newspapers left lying about but I still love having a cat in the house

I have two cats, a small calico we call Grandma

and a much bigger and rounder guy we call Berry

. Grandma will eat practically anything that she sees humans eat, she has stolen whole ears of corn and tried to drag them off and taken entire pancakes off of a plate. I have only ever seen Berry try to steal lettuce, but he will act interested in anything he sees Grandma eating.

This is grandma helping me finish off some pudding, her tactic is to stand as close to me and stare unblinkingly right in my face.

This is her using my wife's dumbbells as a pillow.

The money that they raise at the Lil Bub meet and greets goes to cat charities.

There's this great series of images I've seen of a person holding 3 of their cats and a dog comes up behind them, scares them and the cats all bug out. There are even captions on most of the one's I've seen. I wish I could find it now.

I get to see a variation on that look.

Anyone have any "one/two paw out" lying down cat poses? Where they are simultaneously looking dainty as hell, yet saying "yes, this is mine"? You know the pose.

Sort of like this:

He's in charge of sitting on things - especially visitor's bags. He takes his job very seriously.

My Henry Cat freaking loves to make a nest out of my boyfriend's pants when he comes to visit and leaves them on the floor. In Henry Cat's defense, he does this with my pants as well, but boyfriend's pants are an extra special treat.

One of my cats does the "one paw out" pose all the time, on any surface. I only have one picture of proof, though:

That is his pose of choice. Either paw out is fine. I interpret it as: "Yo, I'm here. :what:

" The black spot over his eyes � la emo bangs might be influencing me.

I don't know why, but the displeased look cats give, with the ears pointing sideways (kind of like :catstare:

The cat video event was hilarious by the way because the crowd was getting angry and restless at the local musicians and other poo poo that the Walker tried to bring in as opposed to just showing us the loving cat videos we paid for. At one point the coordinator was trying to talk about how this was about more than "just cats" while the crowd in the background chanted "CATS CATS CATS CATS CATS".

The guy who owns Bub posted a message in regards to questions like this:

quote:

It�s me. BUB�s dude.
BUB�s health and comfort are my main priority. Please understand she is very different from other cats. She loves to travel, and is comfortable in planes, cars and hotel rooms. She is not skittish, or nervous, and she is not afraid of anything besides really loud applause and other cats. We travel often, and I am very sensitive to her comfort, mood, and well-being. Sure, she gets tired just like I do. And that�s why we limit the amount of people and the length of time of her meet and greets. I also make sure there is a vet on call, that there are plenty of volunteers to help control the crowds, and a quiet and safe place for BUB to relax (in addition to having plenty of food, water and a litter box, of course). If at any time I fell like BUB is not up for any of this, I will cancel the event without hesitation (and I have done so in the past). I know BUB�s fans would understand.
I have talked extensively with my vet and specialists and they all agree that these trips are safe for BUB so long as she is feeling well. And at the moment, she is feeling better than ever. In fact, she is usually feeling best when we travel because she gets to move around more, stays stimulated, and more active, which is great for her muscles, her joints and her mood.
I would never dream of doing anything like this with any of my other four cats (they would freak out as soon as I put them in a carrier), and I do not recommend that people take their cats on these kinds of trips because travel is usually very stressful for them. But BUB truly is one of a kind, and anyone that�s met her or has been to a meet-and-greet can tell you that she is safe and happy.
I don�t blame people for being concerned. If she wasn�t my own cat, and I didn�t know her as intimately as I do, I would probably be worried as well. So I appreciate your concern, but want you to know that she�s in really good hands. Even with all of her hundreds of thousands of fans, no one cares about her more than I do.
