Music and Cats – at My Friends

My previous post was about music and cats. This one, that I am writing now, is about music and cats as well – inspired by our family’s dear friends Candace and Ron.

Candace and Ron have four beautiful cats at home, and their house full of cat-related arts and crafts. Here is one I like so much – actually, about Music and Cats :)

You can see a musical notation book under the Music and Cats picture – this book is belong to Candace’s husband Ron. Ron is a very good musician and singer; he plays in a local band. Speaking of cats, Ron said, Jessy is his favorite one, here are they both:

Here is Jessy’s close up – he is so cute! And serious at the same time – I caught his face on a picture when he was listening to Ron’s music:

And here is Miley the cat, which is definitely loves the musical atmosphere of the house – no wonder, Miley likes to sleep on a top of Ron’s guitar case:

Here is Miley again – looks like she (Miley is a female) is going to sing something to us :) Oh she can – she is the one talking cat!

I enjoy being around Candace and Ron’s family and their musical cats!

Is your cat (cats) like to sing? Or talk? Or doing something funny and cute?

Thanks for reading us and have a purrfect day!

Candace’s Cats

In a previous story you read about my friend Candace’s cat-related arts and crafts; now it’s time for you to get to know Candace’s cats!

Oh, they are so handsome, beautiful, and sweet, and cute, and smart ones! I was babysitting Candace’s cats once, for a week, so I learnt a lot about them.

So, meet Panther, here he is:

Panther is 11 years old black male. Actually, he is the oldest one in this cat family, but I would say, he looks almost the youngest :) Maybe it is because he is black :) Maybe it is because he is fuzzy :) Maybe it is because he is very independent cat and he found his special way of living in our mountains country, wisely balancing between local wildlife and homesteading. Panther is not “kissy-kissy” (or “catsy-catsy”) type of cat; as I told you, he is independent fellow, but he loves his human family so much and he cannot imagine his life without Candace, her husband Ron and their sons Jon and Zack.

Next cat male in the family is Jessy. He is 6 years old white-grey kitty-cat:

Jessy is more domesticated; he is listening (almost always) what his human friends tell him to do, like, “eat”, “come home”. Jessy only one in his cat family can drink a water directly from a tap! Really cute!

Also Jessy like to socialize with next cat in Candace’s home – Miley:

Miley is fuzzy female, approximately the same age with Jessy, so they are one “generation”, I would say – that’s probably why Jessy and Miley are buddy-buddy. Oh, and Miley is the one talking cat! Every her "meow" sounds in different way and full of some certain meaning, like "I am hungry", "Rub my belly", "Let me out" etc. Yes, all the cats in Candace's house are indoor-outdoor ones, which means, they know a taste of healthy fresh air and cat's freedom, but they also remember very well, where is their home. 

Another cuteness living in Candace's house is 7 months old multi-colored female Poose. I don’t have picture of her so far; but I will photograph her, definitely – he is oh soooo cute! Not because she is still a kitten, by age, but because of her very interesting personality.

So, that’s about it about Candace’s cats so far. More stories to come!

Our Murchyk the Cat is Playing with a Little Icicle

That's what our Murchyk the cat is doing waiting for a spring break - chasing a little icicle :) All the fancy schmancy cat toys he got are nothing for him if he sees tiny-winy little icicle outside :) Then he asks out and... let's the real fun begin!

Embroidered Cats!

Embroidered cats by Oxana Zaika – such a cute and optimistic art! 

More Oxana’s artworks are here. There are LOTS of funny, cute, smiling and doing all kinds of things cats!

Cat Perfectionist

New funny cat’s video! This sweet kitty likes to cross his arms (paws) when sitting down; more than that - he is quite self-conscious about it. What a cute little perfectionist!

Sitting Up Cats: Garfield's Brothers (Sisters)?

I have posted already a video review about Standing up Cats, so now is Sitting up Cats turn. I would say, Garfield related :)

The subject – cat is sitting like a human – is very familiar to me, because our Murchyk cat is sitting like this regularly. We have plenty of pictures of him sitting upright, since he was a kitten. Here is one of those pics:

Our Murchyk can sleep, sitting upright – here is a video of his comfy nap:

Or he can wash himself, listening what other cats on YouTube are talking about, at the same time:

Also, I have found lots of videos on YouTube where cats are sitting upright. Some of them are soooo cute! Please enjoy watching:

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: 

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…

Our Cozy Night with Murchyk

Last night my husband Ron and I were watching a movie “An American in Paris”. Our Murchyk cat has agreed to watch it with us in one condition: if Ron will take off his dirty socks. Murchyk even insisted on helping him out – I couldn’t resist taking video of it:

There! “Who could ask for anything more?” For some strange reason, Murchyk was okay with my socks and felt asleep hugging my foot :)

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.

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!

Hello Tiggers!

I couldn’t resist sharing with you pictures of Tigger – he is a cat of our friends from England. Tigger is three years old now; here are few photographs of him, when he was a kitten. I would say, when he was a kitten he could compete for the title of the cutest kitten ever! Look at these big eyes and a precious mouth outline:

Hello to all the cats in the world whose name is Tigger! Here is another sweetie I love very much – he is a cat of our friends from Northern Alberta. He is not a young fellow – he is more than 10 years old. I love him so much! He is one of the sweetest cats I ever seen in my life, here he is:

P.S. If you would like to share some pictures of your cat, you are always welcome to upload them to our Murchyks Facebook page - with link to your site or blog. 

Cats Can: Talk, Play Piano, Boxing etc

Three my favorite YouTube videos about cats I would like to share with you today – a boxing cat

and a cat practicing piano

and two talking cats.

Well, I was always dreaming that my Murchyk cat would do something unusual, I will take a video of it, and my cat will be a YouTube star. But… Time goes by; my furry sweetie grew up from a little kitten to a big cat and… still did not do anything that much funny that would worth taking video of. Well, expect, maybe, playing with a remote control. But I was not fast enough to take a video of it – well, at least I got a picture, here is our Murchyk picking up channels on TV:

Thanks for reading and watching, and I still hope my cat will do something very excited and will be on YouTube one day!
