Tuxies In Japanese!
We have a very dear friend who lives in Tokyo and is not only a world-famous computer journalist but also a cat lover. She has two cat blogs — one in English and one in Japanese — and she recently sent us a link to a Japanese tuxedo cat video. It’s on the Japanese-language version of YouTube, so there are lots of tuxedo “related videos” on the right side of the page, just like the English version.
A Moment of Silence for Some Friends of Cats
OK, not really friends, perhaps. But all the cats loved to watch them.
Today Susan unexpectedly lost one of her beautiful fish, a Gold Nugget Pleco, and Madame Houdini, a White Line Gecko. Dang, they were both fine yesterday.
Here’s a picture of Madame Houdini with two of her little gecko friends in happier days (like when she was alive):
She wasn’t called Madame Houdini for nothing. In her most famous escape (documented in the upcoming book Famous Geckos and Where They Hid, soon to be a major motion picture starring Stickon D. Wall and Leggo Mai Gecko), she not only got out of a completely sealed tank, but eluded six cats for three days by pretending to be a wall decoration, and then resisted capture by numerous experienced reptile wranglers. If you don’t believe me, check out these photos.
Madame Houdini could often be found on the back wall of her tank, where she teased the heck out of all the cats, but especially Jennifur, Auri, and Aurum. Jenni sometimes stood up on her hind legs like a meercat to look at her, while Aurum would come out in the middle of the night and stare at her for hours.
We will all miss them both.
Want a Job Working with Cats and the Public?
When I went to the Animal Rescue Site to do my daily “click to donate”, and check the sales 
I noticed AnimalWork.org. I’ve written about the Animal Rescue site in Good Places to Shop While Helping Others, Too.
I already have a great (most of the time) job working with animals and helping people take the best care of their pets as possible. But for others who are job hunting — AnimalWork.org lists job openings for positions in the U.S. at zoos, grooming establishments, veterinary practices, retail, pet training, pet caretakers, service related organizations, and welfare and protection (i.e. what most of us would call shelters and animal control).
Auri Found To Be Member Of Two Gangs!
We are devastated!
Our dear little Auri…the sweet little tuxedo kitten that we just wrote about the other day…we now have evidence that she’s criminally inclined!
I guess it’s true what they say about Saturday night being reserved for wild behavior. I woke up early Sunday morning when I heard some odd scratching. I followed my ears to the closet. I opened the door. And what did I see?
Auri, Agile, and Charger, guiltily looking up at me with their beautiful eyes, imploring me not to turn them in to my wife Susan (“The Furminator”)! Together, they had broken into the locked closet and had been greedily wolfing down Panther’s special prescription diet food (40 bucks a bag, thank you very much!). Because it’s prescription food, this may be a federal offense!
But wait, there’s more! Google News reported that Auri was also identified as a member of the notorious Tuxedo Gang! They even have a known hideout!
We’ve tried to raise her right, but she just wants to raise hell (or maybe just raise heck, after all, she’s still a kitten!). Where did we go wrong?
