Tornado Victim Reunited with Lost Cat (Video)
Oh, gosh. Who's chopping onions in here? Cause my face is leaking seawater. One of the survivors of the recent tornados in the southern US was reunited with her lost feline friend during a TV interview with CBS. This senior citizen from Tuscaloosa, Alabama lost everything when disaster hit. Her home was dessicated and she only survived by crouching behind a wall just in time. At the start of the interview, she had found two of her three cats. She had been looking for the third for weeks. In the middle of filming the interview, a shaggy, bedraggled cat came back up to her former home. My favorite part of the video is when you can hear kitty purring from ten feet away. A happy cat indeed.

Welcome to Hairball Season!
For most cats, vomiting is more like a hobby than a symptom of illness. Absent any other symptoms (like listnessness, a change in eating or drinking habits, watery eyes, etc) vomiting in cats is most often caused by hairballs. And unfortunately, this is prime time for hairballs.
A cat's tongue is like a comb, and they use that comb constantly. Imagine if you combed your hair dozens of times a day. Now imagine the hair that would collect on that comb. You - being a human - would pull the hair off and toss it in the trash. But for a cat, that's its tongue, and it has no choice but to swallow all those loose hairs.

Simon's Cat: Hop It
For those of us who really can't get enough of Simon Tofield's "Simon's Cat animations," he's given us a new one; this one is titled, exceedingly appropriately, "Hop It." It's a seasonal piece, but still timely. You can find the others here. Tofield's own official Web site is worth checking out as well.
Toxoplasmosis: The Disease That Makes You Like Cats
What can cause schizophrenia, depression, and skin lesions, and makes you like cats? Believe it or not, a parasite carried by cats can actually turn you into a cat person!
You may be familiar with toxoplasmosis as the reason why pregnant women and HIV-positive people ar exempted from litter box scooping duty.

Toxoplasmosis is also why most cities have banned flushable clumping cat litter, because it is a serious danger to marine mammals like seals and otters. Toxoplasmosis is caused by a protozoan named Toxoplasma gondii, a microscopic parasite which has wide-ranging effects on its host body.
The symptoms of a toxoplasmosis infection are, for most of us, extremely subtle. The acute phase typically presents like a low-grade cold or flu (including fatigue and swollen glands) which lasts about a month. After that, the infection goes into the latent phase, when no normal symptoms are observed.
Bear vs Cat
It's not just a fetish, it's a meme!
A friend posted the oddly charming Russian video of a bear and a cat who clearly view each others as playmates on her blog, and then made the intriguing statement that "There is an entire genre of cat-chases-away-bear videos on YouTube." I watched the video, and then, naturally, had to go look to see if in fact there was just such a genre.
There is; and it appears to be dominated by Russian cat-and-bear videos.
