Super Funny Cat Joke!!!!!!!!

You must read this hilarious cat joke that we found on the internet! EverythingCat101 takes no credit for this joke. So here it is...

A couple was going out for the evening to celebrate the wife's birthday. While they were getting ready, the husband put the cat out.
The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of their home, the cat shot back into the house.
Not wanting their cat to have free run of the house while they were out, the husband went back upstairs to chase the cat out.
The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver, "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."
A few minutes later, the husband got into the car, and said, "Sorry I took so long" he says, "Stupid old thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

So Much Cat Hair!

"No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch."
~Leo Dworken

Those of you who are cat owners certainly know how it feels to look around your house and see kitty fluff all over. Owners of longhaired cats especially have realized exactly how much fur a cat can leave. (It is a lot!) And with spring coming up, cats will be shedding extra. How can you possibly keep up with it all? Well, here's one way that you can do it...

Comb, comb, comb! Comb your cat(s) often to get off all the fur he/she is shedding. If your cat doesn't like combing, try to stroke your cat between each comb  stroke to keep your cat happy. If that doesn't work, you can try to comb them when they're sleepy--they may fall back to sleep.
Remember, combs seem to work better than regular brushes when it comes to really giving your cat a good grooming. Try using a comb instead of a brush if that is what you normally use.

Good luck!

Rewards for Good Behavior?

Does your cat constantly meow for attention? Does your cat want rewards for the smallest things? We can relate! Look at this video of one of our cats demanding a reward for little behaviors. It's really cute--make sure you have your sound up! Please remember that this video is our property so please cite us if you use it for another purpose. Thanks! All you have to do in order to view it is click here. Enjoy!

Cats Got Talent!

Lots of people are under the impression that dogs can be trained and cats can't. But this is not true! Cats can be trained just like dogs can--it just takes a little longer.

Don't believe it? Check out this video of a piano-playing cat! That's right--a piano-playing cat! We take no credit for this video. Here it is:

But that isn't all! You can train your cat to fetch with EverythingCat101's guide! Here it is:
How to... Train Your Cat to Fetch
And here's a cute video of a kitten fetching a toy. EverythingCat101 does take credit for the following video so if you use it anywhere, please remember to cite us! Thanks!

Good luck with the training, cat lovers! Remember to stay patient with your cat and to never give up! Every training session is making progress, even if you can't tell yet.

Cats--Gotta Love 'Em!

Cat [kat] noun--
1. A fluffball that's full of love and makes a great furry friend!
2. The source of the purr, a sound that will cheer up anybody.
3. Something that is impossible to hate.

Everyone loves cats! But cats aren't just popular now, check out these cool facts about people who were cat lovers years ago...

1. It all started with the Ancient Egyptians. You probably know the story. Cats kept mice away so the Egyptians worshipped them as Gods. As Terry Pratchett says, "In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this."
2. Isaac Newton owned a cat and also invented the cat flap (a.k.a. cat door!)
3. Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Rutherford B. Hayes all owned cats! Wow!
4. T. S. Eliot was a cat lover and wrote a whole book with poems about cats! This book is called "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." Here's a fun fact that you may not know--The poems in this book were made into songs and from there, the musical "CATS" was made!

And here is something else you may not have known: You can read an excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "Macavity--The Mystery Cat" on our Cat Literature page! Click here to visit that page!

Joke :D :) :D :)

Why did the cat drop the computer?

It wanted to catch the mouse!
