10 Cutest Cat Moments - Video

Have fun watching the cutest cats of the world, according to YouTube:

Murchyk’s Winter Hunting

“Wait!! What is this?!” – Our Murchyk cat is all attention: he is on his winter hunting.

“Well, I was hunting almost to the dark and didn’t catch anything today, but I still you beloved kitty… Will you let me in please?”

“There! Good to be at home and relax after a tough hunting day!”

Cats Hats

I am so amazed with this video of little Sophie sitting on Steve’s head!

She is such a darling kitten, isn’t she? I think Sophie is a Main Coon, just like our Murchyk. She is going to be a big kitty!

A cat on a next video went even further than Sophie – as you can see, he is not only hugging, but also kissing his human friend. So cute! Please enjoy the video: 

Our Beautiful Cat Just Loooves to Sleep!

“You know what guys? Just leave me alone please! I just made myself comfortable to get some sleep, and here you are, with you stupid camera!” – Нe didn’t say it, but that’s what he was thinking, our Murchyk, the cutest cat in entire world – well, at least for us :)

Yes, They Do Sell Catnip In A Liquid Form!

“C’mon, pour me some more!”

“Thanks guys!”

P.S. This all cat drinking thing is a fiction. Our Murchyk cat hates even a smell of alcohol. Catnip in a liquid form – that’s would be a fun drink’s option for him. I was just curious if they sell catnip in a liquid at all. Yes, they do! I have found few online. Well, maybe, I will get one for my Murchyk’s birthday…

Meet Maru – One of the Most Famous Cats on YouTube

I have to share with you this video of Maru, which is one of my favorite cat videos on YouTube:

Maru is a cat from Japan and he made to the Top 10 of the most famous cats on YouTube, according to the MotherNature Network. This particular video of Maru which I put in my YouTube favorites about three years ago, already got more then 12 millions views. I love Maru – he is such a darling cat!

No, nay, never! No, nay, never, no more!

When I look at these two pictures above, one popular folk song is starting to spin in my head. Remember this? “I've been a wild rover for many's the year, and I spent all me money on whiskey and beer.” And finally a guy from the song decided to quit his previous wild life, and he is singing in the chorus, “No, nay, never! No, nay, never, no more!”
Well, the lyrics of this “The Wild Rover” song is not quite the reflections of these pictures. Everything is opposite: our Murchyk cat (he is on the picture with a shot glass) is not a drunkard at all – he doesn’t like even a smell of alcohol. He just likes to sit on a couch with us, just like a little human :), when my husband and I are watching TV –  or like Garfield the cat from the popular cartoon. To put a shot glass in Murchyk’s paw was my husband’s idea – just for fun, to get a cute picture. So, we got one – “A kitty-cat relaxing in front of TV with a drink after a long working day chasing mice.” On other picture, two my “wild rovers” – a husband and a cat – are relaxing in front of TV after a long working day.
So, as you can see, the real life in my picture has very little to do with actual lyrics of this “Wild Rover” song. But… why does this song keep spinning in my head, when I am looking at those two pics? Oh, I know, why! Because of the SPIRIT of the song! The spirit is so bright and merry and optimistic! And a beautiful tune! I like it!
P.S. Okay, one more picture of our party guy :)

And that’s it about drinking – no, nay, never, no more!
P.P.S. I like how Flickr user Nearthetime commented on the Murchyk's picture, the one with a shot glass - "Do they sell catnip in a liquid form?" Thanks Nearthetime! I would be glad to use your comment as a headline to the one of my uploads.

Beautiful Cat and a Beautiful Girl

Meet Ira. She is a beautiful girl from Ukraine and a daughter of my best friend Olya. Ira is such a big cat person, just like I am. Here, she is with one of the cats she like so much! The name of the cat is Buck and he is a cat of Ira’s friend:

Ira dreams about her own cat, but so far she cannot have it – she lives in a city condo, and it is not a very convenient to keep a cat in a condo. In a future, when Ira will get a house of her dream, she is for sure will have a cat or two, she said. Right now she has few cats in countryside, in her Grandma’s home. Every visit to the Grandma Ira is having fun playing with her cats and taking pictures of them. Oh! And Ira promised to share some pics and stories of her kitties here, at Murchyks blog. Thanks Ira!

Nanny Cat is Putting Baby to Sleep - Video

Wow! What a cat! He is helping to a family to put a new baby to sleep! What a sweetie this kitty! As one of YouTube users commented, Stewie (the name of the cat) is a healing cat!

Please enjoy this new YouTube hit:

P.S. Big thanks to my friend Ira from Ukraine for sending a link of this video!

Cat-Related Christmas Ornaments

Christmas would not be a Christmas for cat persons without having cat-related ornaments on a Christmas tree or another fir tree unit (like ours), right? So, I would like to share with you what we got on our kissing ball this Christmas – a “Hello Kitty” ornament:

Next one is not ours. This picture of a Tigger Kitty ornament our friend Galya from Texas sent to us. Galya is a cat person too, and that’s what she got for her family Christmas tree:

If you have some cat-related Christmas ornaments and would like to share, please feel free to post those at our Murchyks Facebook page (can be posted with a link to your website or blog).
Merry Christmas!

Merry Catsmess!

Meet Vasey. He is a lovely cat of Jasmine (Jasmine is a niece of my sister-in-law). This picture was taken last year, when Jasmine's family was setting up a Christmas tree. Kitty-cat immediately went to discover what is it and how it works and whether he can play with it. It was Vasey's first Christmas! Yay!

Last year was our Murchyk’s first Christmas too. But my husband Ron and I decided to avoid any complications having Christmas tree in the same house with cat – we knew we would have permanent worries whether our Christmas tree, ornaments and garlands are survived, or whether our kitten is okay. Sometimes I think how people can ever manage having a Christmas tree, a baby and a cat (cats) – everything at the same time :)
Anyway. We COULD have a Christmas tree, but we decided to avoid any worries about our cat and tree relationships, so that’s how we decorated our house for Christmas last year – we just hung a kissing ball to the wall. We have ordered a plain fir tree ball in a local garden store and I decorated it with our ornaments:

I can tell you - this is a good Christmas tree solution for cat persons like us!
This year we stuck to the same decoration idea: two kissing balls under the ceiling

(oh yeah, cat-related ornament is a must!)
and a swag on a wall:

Knowing our Christmas decorations decision, our friends from the States Olya and Jim sent us a sweet Christmas card which we love so much! Here, what they wrote, “Since you didn’t put up a tree because of your Murchyk might make a mess, we found a card to show you it would make great pictures! Merry Catsmess!” 
And here is the card:

Thanks Olya and Jim! Thanks Jasmine for the kitty’s picture! Merry Christmas to all of you, guys! And to all the cats in the world!

Cats and Dogs: Buddy-Buddy, Kissy-Kissy…

Sometimes cat and dog can be amazingly friendly to each other, especially when they live under the same roof, like these two on a video below. So, meet Romeo cat and Chico dog. They both from Alberta and they live with our friend’s family for many years:



Here are some more videos about cat and dog’s friendship/love. As you can see, it’s possible :)
