There is a plethora of cats on Sappy Cat Blogging this Friday . . .

Found in Down East magazine, this tabby named Slim commutes from Badger’s Island, Maine to Portsmouth, NH over the Memorial Bridge.  Click here for his story.

Thanks to my friend, Cindy for these racing cats.

And to HMS Defiant for this little cat clip from Moonrise Kingdom.  Click on the image for the video.  If you have not seen the film, look it up on Netflix.

fox cat

This story appeared in the Daily Mail about an intrepid Norwegian Forest Cat defending his yard from this red fox.  The fox appears not to be taking any chances.  There’s more to the story here. 

My Sammy (Cmdr. Samuel Vimes) is a Maine Coon and he has a more outgoing personality.  I found in once him in the backyard trying to play with an opossum.  Not smart – no damage, however.  For this reason (and others), Sammy now dominates the house, but not the yard or the neighborhood.

Bonus Sappy Cat -Jill appears to know that her owner is going away for the weekend – and has plans to tag along.

Amazing and beautiful photographs of the Cat’s Paw nebula in the constellation Scorpius taken by the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope in Chile.

The story, from Bad Astronomy on Slate, explains that the flame-like filaments of star-forming materials are actually, in this case, mind-bogglingly cold, at around minus 445 degrees Farhenheit.

Cats and knitting.

And my push-me pull-you, 2-headed  cat – Sam-Murphy.

They are also “helping” me quilt.

koko_kitten_1985Koko and her kitten

Koko is the gorilla who was taught American Sign Language by researcher Dr. Penny Patterson.  Koko is particularly fond of kittens. The connection is another gorilla story.  Glenn Cravath (American artist 1897-1964) was born this day.  He is the artist for the book cover for King Kong, published in 1932, and for comic strip style advertisements for the movie based on the book.  The film was released in 1933 with Fay Wray playing the hapless bride.  A remake was done in 2005, starring Naomi Watts as the female lead and Jack Black as King Kong (no, that’s not right.)
