cats – Erratic Frog

More Cat Photos

So I am sitting here and I should be out the door, but I decided to post this quickly. I had it sitting in my drafts since last night but didn’t publish it because I didn’t want to make you sick. Not that you would get sick of seeing cat pictures. But I have posted a lot of photos in the last couples of days.

Here is a new gallery of adorable fur balls that I thought you would/should enjoy.

I know I did/do.

One of the commenters made a reference to the movie Step Brothers: “Look how much room we have for activities!” And the funny thing was, this was my first reaction as well. It really is a great idea.

Each photo has a link back to the source. I hang out on imgur quite a bit, mostly because they have so many cat photos. I have found some that were just too cute. The cats sneezing, cats jumping and other adorable cat photos I have posted here on erraticfrog are just a samll sample of what makes my day go round.

Cats Jumping (Photo Gallery)

Following on yesterday’s photo blog of cats just about to sneeze, or cats sneezing I thought that I would put together a fun set of cats jumping. And if that sounds boring, you just need to take a look at these incredible pictures of cats in the air.

I’m sorry that I didn’t go and label them like I did with the previous set. I didn’t have time today. And I need to leave in a couple of minutes so my commute to work isn’t too nightmarish.

10 Cats About to Sneeze

If you love the idea of owning a cat but have yet to have the joy, just remember, cats are people, too. They fart, get the hiccups and in this case sneeze!

I posted about some cat related topics the other day and thought that I would pursue it a little further since you seemed to enjoy it. Roger sure seemed to at least.

Your erratic frog!

20 Adorable Kitty Photos

Yesterday, I wrote about the Kitty Convict Project that is attempting to bring more lost cats home. More than 95% of lost cats never return home to their owners.

Today I wanted to post something a little more light hearted before I head off to work. And what could be more light hearted than a collection of cute kitties?

Caught in the Act

This cute kitten got caught on film licking its adorable little paw. The pink tongue turned out vivid and soft, but the eyes are what make this so classic cute.

Designated Driver

I don’t know about you but I think that it is safe to say we need to pick another designated drive. This adorable little kitten fits perfectly into a wine glass.

Nap Time

Sometimes I think that I would enjoy being a cat, doing what I want, sleeping all day, and of course those intense snuggles that they seem to get when they want them.

Fur Ball

Cleanliness is also an important part of a cat’s life. This little kitten is perfecting its skill early on, and I have to admit that it is priceless.

Messiness

Not all cats are as concerned with cleanliness, this cute kitten got a face full of milk. It looks like somebody needs to perfect their drinking skills.

Kitty Burrito

This cute kitten makes an absolutely adorable burrito. I get the feeling it isn’t quite sure if we can see it or not. In any event it thinks it is being rather sneaky hiding in the blanket!

Nursing the Sick

There is a sweet story that goes with this photo. The black cat you see in the photo comforts and nurses the other animals that come into the vet. This gallery is definitely one to check out.

This cat has adopted a set of ducks. Another beautiful story, and a really nice gallery.

Deck the Halls

What did we say before. Here is another great shot of a cat climbing through the bows of holly. Though I am not sure if the tree can withstand a kitty of this magnitude.

The Kitty Convict Project

eFrog Leave a comment

There are 7 million pets reported lost here in the US. And that is each and every year! Out of those pets 26% of the lost dogs are returned home. However, for cats that figure is less than 5%, that is a low, staggering number. Only 4 out of a hundred kitties are able to return home to their families. But there is a project that intends to change that. I have uploaded an info graphic for you to get a better idea of what the Kitty Convict Project is all about.

Kitty Convicts

If you’re like me though, and do much of your web browsing on your iPhone you might not be able to read everything, for that reason I have created a condensed transcript of the fine points.

The Kitty Convict Project is from the creators of Exploding Kittens. Don’t let the name fool you, they have a lot of love for those lovable little fur balls.

Why Are More Lost Dogs Found Than Cats?

For those of you asking why more cats stay missing, here are a couple of answers for you to think about:

Dogs wear more ID collars than cats
Cats have a natural tendency to hide
People don’t immediately assume a cat is lost when they see it walking around the neighborhood

How can we raise the number of lost cats that get found?

Ways to Improve These Figures

The Kitty Convict Project has an interesting idea that is both easy to implement. It is more of a standard than a solution. Which if implemented over a longer period of time could in fact bring the number of escaped cats back into custody. And as you might have guessed the idea comes from escaped convicts.

Dress your cat in orange: a collar, scarf or other orange article of clothing. Just make sure that it is orange. The initiative attempts to set a standard for indoor cats that have gotten outside. The orange color is the symbol.
Make sure your indoor cats has an ID tag. This is probably more important than the bright orange marker right now. Since most people don’t realize the importance of the color yet the ID is a way for them to help your cat find its home.

So remember if you see a cat running wild with an orange collar it has broken out and it is your duty to bring it home.

If you are a cat owner put an end to cat nudity, give your kitty an orange collar and an ID, because cats are part ninja and they will disappear when you least expect it.

For anyone who is reading this please, if you love cats, like cats or find them mildly cute spread the word about the Kitty Convict Project.
