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!”

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!

Cat Themed Magnets!

I bet, every cat lover got at least one of the cat themed magnet on his (her) fridge. At least one!

As I cat person myself, I have three fridge magnets with cats – so far (I don’t mind to have some more, lots of space on my fridge door still vacant).

Every cat magnet on my fridge has an individual story.

This one – “A house is not a home… without a cat” – is a very first fridge magnet my husband Ron and I got for our household, as newly married. Ron’s brother Len, knowing than Ron and I are cat persons gave us this magnet as a hint - to get a real cat for our new home:

Next fridge magnet – two smiling kitty-cats – Ron and I got on our honeymoon in Prague:

And finally, my third fridge magnet – I call him “A Happy Kitty” – I bought in our trip to Ukraine in 2011. This is a mirror fridge magnet, and a happy kitty face really reminded me of my Murchyk – that’s why I got it:

So, I just shared my cat fridge magnets with you, guys, and I would be glad to see some of yours. Please feel free to post pictures of them at our Murchyks Facebook page – with a link to your cat blog or website, if you wish.

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.

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 :)
