best cats of 2010 - and maru!
it's year-end countdown time. every publication has their "top whatevers" but what really matters as 2010 draws to a close are the cats that got us through the ups and downs of the last 12 months. so here's a fun list of the 30 31 best cats of 2010.
we have to add maru in because this japanese cutie has taken over youtube with videos of boxes, and more boxes, and sliding into boxes, and peeking out of boxes, etc. maru is the real king of 2010. and of our hearts. (just look at that face!)

'twas the night before cat-mas
'twas the night before Cat-mas and all through MY house,not a creature was stirring not even a mouse... (i ate it).
my kitty stocking was hung by the cat door with care,
in hopes that Santa Claws soon would be there.
the humans were nestled all snug in their beds,
while we cats in the darkness danced on their heads.

last-minute gift ideas for the furrkids
how about an automatic laser toy? or a super-long-lasting elk antler chew? or a crazy yak's milk himalayan chew? these gifts are not only cool, they're also pretty different than the standard tie or gift card (but, we've got those too, if gift cards are your thing.)
remember, when all else fails a catnip banana is a sure-fire win for the discerning kitteh in any family.

wrap it up
why are they so obsessed with wrapping paper? is it the paper? is it the tape? or is it just their intolerance of us paying attention to anything other than them?
maybe they just want to be wrapped up like a gift? this kitty certainly did. watch the video after the jump!

cat fud: u haz a flavor
panelists rate samples of cat food based on flavors, textures, and the intensity of the flavor.
sure, some cat foods use human grade ingredients, but i've never been tempted to crack open a can on my lunch break.
so what do you think about the taste testers? would you?

dump him, marry the dog
the non-binding civil ceremony united joseph guiso with his 5-year old adopted lab, honey. "you're my best friend and you make every part of my day better," he said in his vows. how sweet?

get on your boots
blitz stopped into the monroe st. store today to grab some pawz booties. they look like deflated balloons but do a great job of keeping the ice and salt from burning those sensitive pads. the bonus is that even though they seem a little goofy-looking most dogs will actually wear them.
thanks for modeling them so well, blitz. purple is definitely your color.

"the lost dogs" hits shelves
but if there is one shining ray of hope in this story, it's that those 47 dogs, originally deemed "beyond rehabilitation" by peta and the hsus, have gone on to become "cherished pets, therapy dogs, and adored members of their communities," as jim gorant writes in his new book, the lost dogs.
the book has just hit the shelves at madcat, and it details the rescue, reclamation, and redemption of these amazing dogs who were given a second chance.
