F.A.P. (Feline American Princess) 

The following is a song all cat owners should hear.

Feline American Princess: Tune

You will find a recording of one verse on this page (third song from the top).

F.A.P. Lyrics

Here are all the words of Feline American Princess.

Album: Magic, Moondust and Melancholy

Here's where you can buy it. (Or rather, the CD containing it.) Not available on iTunes yet, alas.

My Cat Photo Gallery 

"Squint as you approach, lest you be blinded by my brilliance" -- K. Hepburn

Note: Some crass viewers have remarked on my weight. I assure you that I am a delicate flower.
Besides, if my feeder-person tries to set mealtimes, I simply gobble up every molecule when the bowl is filled, and if I eat too fast, well, that's what the carpet's for. We have reached a compromise: diet cat food in bowl 24/7, and (usually) no carpet surprises.

(Above) That thumbnail at the top of the page doesn't do me justice, as you see.

(Left) Here is my baby picture. For those cats seeking to weasel your way into a home and acquire a feeder person, please remember: there is no substitute for cute, googly kitten eyes. Practice posing with your paws tucked for maximum effect.

(Below) Claiming the sunbeams before other cats can steal them is very important.

(Below) At left, you see my arch-nemesis, from whom I have to defend the sunbeams. She's 21, yet still has the nerve to claim the Utah house as hers! Luckily I only have to suffer being a prisoner in enemy territory once a year. At right, I am keeping a close eye on bird-shadows.

My Travel Tips For Cats and Owners 

Including Recommendation/Review for Best Airplane Cabin Pet Carrier

Feline Frequent Flyer Tips: Pets on a Plane!

Airplanes. Cat carriers. Airport security. Oh, the indignity of it all! Well, if we must board those infernal contraptions, the least our owners can do is let us travel in style. I won't say "in comfort," but a good under-the-seat pet carrier lets us...

Birdwatching Duty

Malcolm: Former Cat Comrade 

I'd like to paws for a moment to remember an old friend, Malcolm.

Malcolm defended us from roses and other dangerous table settings.

Alas, he never met an open door he didn't like -- even when the Santa Ana winds blew it open while our owner was out running errands for us. That was in 1999. We miss Malcolm very much.

Please remember, if you live in the western US, there are coyotes in urban and suburban neighborhoods, not just out in the hills, and cats look like coyote chow. Even if you don't live out here, life expectancy for outdoor cats is much lower. Keep us indoors, or at least supervise our outdoor explorations!

My Cat Toy and Cat Product Recommendations 

The following items meet with my approval.

Lazy Pet Deluxe Window Perch

Note: I love this perch, but every 3-4 years the velcro strip gives out, and down I go. Stronger tape or c-clamps from the hardware store will fix the problem, but you may want a sturdier and more expensive perch.

Amazon Price: $31.68 (as of 12/05/2008)

Dome, Cleanstep Cat Box, Pearl

I still find ways to fling grit out the door, but it's much, much harder with this than any other box.

Amazon Price: $39.99 (as of 12/05/2008)

Bad Cat: 244 Not-So-Pretty Kitties And Cats Gone Bad

by: Jim Edgar

I have no idea why my owner felt this should be included.

Amazon Price: $7.24 (as of 12/05/2008)

Cat Charmer

Especially tempting around or under the corners of living room furniture.

Amazon Price: $3.95 (as of 12/05/2008)

Fur Mice - 12 pack

Good toy, and comes with a bonus: humans make funny noises when they step on them unexpectedly in bare feet.

Amazon Price: $4.79 (as of 12/05/2008)

Cat Christmas Card for Fans 

Snapped by My Owner Christmas Eve

Once again, the trip there is a pain, but the house itself is a good cat playground. I'm still not sure about this white stuff that was falling that night.
