My Cat Can't Flush the Toilet Song | Dog Song Saturday

Okay.  I know, I know, it's Dog Song Saturday at Talking Dogs.  However, there are times when our cat Skeeter insists we bark about cat songs!

Here for your listening and viewing pleasure is My Cat Can't Flush the Toilet Song by Yet Another String Band.   If you've ever thought it would be easy for your cat buddy to be an overnight internet sensation - and even if you haven't - you're sure to enjoy this funny song and music video.

Written and performed here by Yet Another String Band, My Cat Can't Flush the Toilet is an original song celebrating all cats who don't look like Wilford Brimley, can't flush the toilet, can't play the piano, cant do much of anything... other than simply be adorable.  The video stars Fluffy, the wonder Cat.

Grab a dog - because, let's face it, your dog is gonna like watching this cat.  Sit Stay. Relax and enjoy My Cat Can't Flush the Toilet.
 
Then fetch some more genuine dog song music videos at Talking Dogs.  You'll be surprised at how many we've collected over the past few years.  And, yes, you'll find some more cats songs, too.  

National Feral Cat Day | Not So Wordless Wednesday

 Our cat, Skeeter, was a feral cat.

  

We don't know her story, 

 but she is probably about 12-15 years old now.

Feral no more,  Skeeter & Rudy

have a very special relationship.

October 16 is National Feral Cat Day  

Alley Cat Allies launched National Feral Cat Day in 2001 to raise awareness about feral cats, promote Trap-Neuter-Return, and recognize the millions of compassionate people who care for them.

Monday Mischief: Skeeter is Stalking Something

Our cat, Skeeter, is the one causing mischief.  Though I have no idea what she is watching (stalking), there's bound to be some trouble ahead for a rabbit, bird or whatever she has her eye on!

Skeeter is sitting on the cross member of a gate that leads into a pasture, just next to the creek and pond.  

Eight foot in the air, she's being pretty bold.
 

We don't know how old she is, since Skeeter came to us as a stray, feral cat.  However, we know she was an adult when she arrived 9 years ago.  The past year she's slowed down considerably.  Other than a bit of vole hunting with Rudy and Rosie, we've not seen her stalk or catch anything for some time.

We haven't seen her climb the wisteria that covers our deck (where she used to lay to scout birds) this year.
  

The red circle in the photo above shows where Skeeter is laying on the arbor, concealed in the wisteria.  A prime place for bird watching.  Can you see her little nose sticking through?

 So, although she's certainly up to mischief, we're glad to see it!
