Ireland has become a more open and tolerant society in recent decades, and here we see Mrs O’Kitty doing her best with a distinctly non-traditional brood. Some day, she’s gonna have to tell ‘em they’re adopted….
So, what do you get the cat who has everything? The occasion is Stripey’s official retirement.
“Huh?” I hear you ask.
Well, I recently spent some time at a trade show. And on my return, I found that the status quo had definitely changed. It was subtle, yet distinctive. There were still five cats, but the pecking order was different.
For thirteen years, Mr Stripey Pants has ruled the roost with a velvet fist. He was the biggest. The strongest. The street-smartest. The bad-assest. He may still be one or more of those things, but the tide has turned.
No longer is his the first nose in the bowl. No longer does a path through the tangle of cats open as he approaches.
There’s a new sheriff in town.

Thanks!
After many years of dedicated research, careful study and innumerable unfortunate outcomes, Purfessor Fritz Von Katz confidently estimates that the Mars Rover has a 1 in 780 chance of success. The Blasted Dog will go down in history. Well, what goes up MUST come down, as they say. But do not let me detract from the gravity of the occasion. And let me know if you Laika dis piktur.
PS – Is it just me, or does the Purrfessor’s beautiful assistant look a teensy bit like Rumpy Dog?
Yeah, yeah… I know I’ve posted it before. But for the day that’s in it, here’s my Mojo (and darth parker in the background) saving the universe from the Furball alliance.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. Totally un-cat-related. Five lads (guessing they’re students, from the location) give a running commentary on the worst, most stubborn parker ever (who does happen to be female…). Ok, avert your ears if you are sensitive to the odd expletive and some good-natured banter. But, to be fair, it’s pretty tame for a gaggle of Belfast students. You may need subtitles….
