Meow Mix: All The Latest Cat News You Can Use


Business Cat - BuzzFeed and Cybergata have both rounded up impressive collections of the "best of" this delightful new meme.


Does Smokey the cat have the loudest purr in the world? The 12-year-old British Shorthair has been making international headlines because the noise level she creates while purring, is comparable to the sound of a lawnmower or watching a Boeing 737 land. I don't know about all that, but the look on her face in this picture is priceless! - The Daily Mail

Related: Did you know this interesting/lol-worthy bit of cat info?: "Even normal cats' purrs can be annoying for vets. If you're trying to listen for subtle abnormalities in the sounds of a cat's heart and lungs with a stethoscope, a purr can make it impossible. There's a trick used in veterinary consulting rooms to "switch off" a purr: if a tap in the sink is turned on, most cats stop purring for a few minutes while looking at and listening to the water." - The Telegraph

Elsewhere in Europe: Former stray, Larry the Downing Street Cat, has been settling into his new home nicely after being appointed chief "ratcatcher" by British Prime Minister David Cameron. Don't miss this adorable collection of Larry candids rounded up by Animal Planet.

Update: Is Larry really a stray after all? A woman has stepped forward claiming that he's really her cat Jo, who's been missing since October. The intrigue! - The Daily Mail

What have you done lately? Runner Joseph Tame drew a GPS Hello Kitty while running through Tokyo's Shinjuku district. - CNET

Newest Tumblr sensation? A blog dedicated to cats that resemble fictional Parks and Recreation character Ron Swanson. - F**k Yeah Cats That Look Like Ron Swanson

And finally, looking for even more pictures and quotes from "Voldemort" cat Charlie's new owner? If you can get past the title of this story, here you go!: "Voldermog's found a new home! Britain's ugliest cat wins over animal loving lawyer...Hogwarts and all" - The Telegraph

I ate the purchase-orders. Good, but could have done with condiments. Tuna? Mackerel? So many fish. So little budget. Well, we make do.
