Lol. We've had a few videos of dogs captured on camera when nobody's home but what about cats? After all, cats are people pets too, you know. Check out these cats, Cole and Marmalade in this viral vid to find out...
The secret life of cats! … Ever wondered what your cats get up to when you leave?
I decided to start collecting footage of CAM once we left the house, it was great fun uploading the clips when I left the camera recording at night, so I thought I'd give it whirl during daylight hours.
I really didn't expect to get that much action, I thought they'd just be sleeping a lot and being lazy but I managed to capture some fun stuff! … It was very sad to hear Cole meowing every time we left the apartment, sometimes it would go on for a couple of minutes, he must really love us.
"I'm gonna say that I'm at the top of the list... of the eccentric, crazy cat ladies." Don't she know it. And you thought YOU loved cats. Nobody loves cats more than sixty-seven-year-old Lynea Lattanzio, who gave up her 4,200 square foot home with a pool and a view, to a 1800 sq. ft. mobile home - for more than a thousand felines...

The history of what has been referred to as “one of the finest cat pictures in the world” (Oakland Tribune, February 4, 1930, p. 50) dates back to the early 1890s when it was commissioned by cat enthusiast, Kate Birdsall Johnson of San Francisco.
In 1891 Mrs. Johnson, possibly America’s greatest cat enthusiast, commissioned artist Carl Kahler to paint a portrait of some of her 350 cats who all lived in great luxury in her California home. This monumental work – ‘My Wife’s Lovers’ – will be an important highlight of Sotheby’s 19th Century European Art sale on 3 November in New York.
The painting is six feet tall and eight-and-a-half feet wide, and weighs a whopping 227 pounds and while rumor has it Mrs. Johnson owned anywhere from 50 to 350 cats at any given time, the artist, who had never painted a cat before, was paid $5,000 for his work. The title, 'My Wife’s Lovers' is attributed to Ms. Johnson's husband, who obviously had a dry sense of humor.
So how did the artist get all these cats to remain still at the same time?
Well, according to Polly Sartori, head of 19th Century European paintings for Sotheby's in New York, who told Canadian television and radio journalist, Caroline Off in an interview, Kahler sketched each cat individually. "No way did 42 cats sit still to have their portrait painted," she said with a laugh.
"He was invited to her cat ranch. Now, Mrs. Johnson actually was very wealthy. She was a millionaire and she had this giant mansion. Some newspapers report that she had 350 [cats]. So Carl Kahler meets Mrs. Johnson at the ranch, at the mansion, and she asks him if he would paint a portrait of her cats," explains Sartori.
"So, for three years he spends time with the cats in the mansion doing sketches. And then in and around 1893, he does their portrait. He takes all of the sketches and he puts together this monumental-sized giant painting of 42 of her cats."
The artwork is estimated to sell for $200,000–300,000.
What in the world? That's catfishing on a whole other level. How did these cute little things end up in the river is anyone's guess but thankfully these guys were there to rescue them. Our hats off to them...
A 'Canary' security systems caught this cat's antics on camera. The cat's owner was getting dinner ready when the unexpected happened. The vid has now gone viral with over 2.5M views already...
"What is that strange creature? Why is it black and white instead of orange?" Lol. That's a lot of curious eyes gazing upon this adorable and playful pup, Nana, who doesn't seem to give a care in the world as to who's watching as she checks out her new cage...
People still use waterbeds? Who still makes them anyways?? We were just as fascinated with seeing a waterbed as we were seeing a cat's reaction on one in this 'cats confused by waterbeds' compilation vid...
Cats are not just good for companionship you know. If you to exercise and have a couple of cats, this guy will show you how to get the purrrfect body. He warns though:
Results may vary. Especially if the cats aren't docile. We assume no liability for dissatisfied customers or cats. Or scratch marks. Or anything.
His words not ours. But isn't it the nature of cats? To be a pest? Check out this vid of one cat waiting to pounce on another while it's sleeping, lol...
Wait for it.. wait for it.. Whoa! Never mind the cat, we almost fell off our chairs, lol. We even slowed it down and watched it again. That tree is scary on its own. It frightened not one but both cats!...
Lol. We thought we'd seen it all ... when it came to cats that is. But a cat relaxing like this.. lol. They never seize to amaze us.
I was walking in the park.
A cat towards the sunset, dozing and doze off.
I took a look at firmly.
Placing a hand on the railing, the cat had been sitting.
Although you are so comfortably,
are you looking at the scene in front of the eyes?
or ｄo you see it?
Thanks to you, I was able to spend a happy evening.
Lol, talk about a cat lover! This was so cool and beautiful to watch.. especially at the end. After all that hard work we were hoping the cat would enjoy and appreciate it. He did, lol.
A present for my cat 'Rufus'. He began to resent me due to painful ear drops to fix an infection. I would return from work and he would run from me! Now the ears are better I wanted to do something to show my gratitude for his putting up with my torture. Rufus loves boxes as all cats do so this is what I made for him. The music is from my brother Ollie's band, 'Parallel Lions', I hope you don't mind me using it bro. Enjoy. (here is a link to the music parallellions.bandcamp.com)
Lol. You just gotta love these kitten vids. Here's another one with a kitten being captured taking on a cell phone head on - literally!!
This is Evie, our 10 week old rescue kitten! If I am reading in bed or playing with my cell phone, she has taken to this habit of attacking whatever I'm holding, so this time I thought I'd catch her in the act! Pardon my hysterical laughter at the end, it was just too funny to watch and I couldn't help laughing! :)
Evie loves attention and makes sure to let us know at every possible moment!
Anakin our two legged kitten playing with his ball & feather. This little guy loves his toys!!
Meet Anakin! Ani is a two legged cat, born without a pelvis or back legs but that doesn't stop him. He is full of love & life! My family and I rescued Anakin and I am caring for him. My family and I are lifelong animal lovers and will give Ani the absolute best possible home, love and care. I will be posting updates, photos and videos of Anakin on his Facebook page, Twitter and YouTube as he grows.
