Weekend Cat Blogging Lucky #79
Yes, you’ve borrowed a camera for the weekend.
No, you don’t need to test every setting on me.
Angry Cat’s Cunning Plan Revealed!
Angry Cat’s faithful readers may recall last week’s incident of tragic proportions: Angry Cat, minding her own business, discovered HER PHOTO in the local newspaper.
Shocked (and just a teensy bit flattered) Angry Cat plotted her revenge. She drafted not one but two letters and then proceeded to consult with regional experts on feline exploitation. One such expert of the grayling persuasion made an ingenious remark. You have claws to count with, he said. Do the math.
The math, eh? Which math would that be?
Why, the math that indicates this newspaper would, were the tables turned, charge you fifty dollars for the single use of a photo, and thirty dollars for each additional use. Now, how big is their circulation and how much catnip is that?
Angry Cat stretched her claws and counted. Three hundred twenty five thousand papers, minus one at fifty dollars, times three hundred twenty four, nine hundred ninety nine at thirty dollars, add back the fifty, and…
HOLY CRAP, THAT’S A LOT OF CATNIP!!!
Needless to say, Angry Cat was quite grateful for the clever calculation, and embarked upon letter number three.
Now, said letter is still in progress (Angry Cat being much distracted by the recent photographic goings-on of her captors), but its lack of completion does not prevent her from taking this glorious opportunity of Weekend Cat Blogging Lucky #79 to make the following announcement to the human world:
HUMAN CAPTORS BEWARE. WE CATS WILL ALL BE STINKY RICH SOON AND THEN WE WILL OWN YOU!
Don’t even attempt to resist. We mean it!
So, who’s with The Cat?
Welcome to Weekend Cat Blogging Lucky #79! Post your links here, or email them to the_cat(at)belly-timber(dot)com. The list of Feline Warriors will be updated throughout the weekend.
Here’s Taboo snug again in her cave at whaleshaman’s place. Or is she just resting up for future adventures?
Angry Cat insists on signing up Xena and Kai for her feline warrior army this very instant. Their human Chris has trained them well in the ways of self defense!
Over at T.bird’s, a clever barn cat makes future (devious) plans for the bird feeder.
Here’s Sam, or “His Royal Sam-ness,” as his fellow felines prefer to call him, contemplating the less fortunate on a chilly day at Ostara’s place.
At Kimberly’s Music and Cats, Sasha is a cat after Angry Cat’s own heart, all filled with motion (and emotion) for the camera.
Burekaboy’s got a fine collection of cat tales, and one mighty fine tail over at Is that my buréka?
Apparently Kitikata-san’s humans use her for photo demos too! Angry Cat sympathizes, but, hey! Wait a sec. Kitikata-san has her very own blog!
Little does Jason know, but Kazon is actually practicing his laser death ray.
Over at Kross-eyed Kitty, Ramona introduces the magnificently sleek Mr. Mao to that curious thing called “snow.”
Georgie knows where it’s at. Angry Cat is impressed and commends Champaign Taste’s human Lisa for her expert feline pampering skills.
At Westering Hills, Shannon makes mulled wine and Colin and Trixie take advantage. Clever cats!
Upsie gets rid of the squirrels and puts his angry face on. Wait, that’s his joy face? Zoinks! All that and Sher’s got squirrel pics, too!
Over at Amar’s CatSynth.com, Luna contemplates Calder. Surely those mobiles were designed for giant cats, right?
At Rosa’s Yummy Yums, Maruschka the dictator demands a belly scratching and Rosa must comply!
Here’s Knut luring us in with his kitteny charm. Angry Cat decides not to warn Pia. The extreme cuteness fools humans every time.
Hey! Wait a steeenkin’ minute! Tess has catnip!!!! (And D reports that Boots is not at all pleased.)
Ah, to be a queen. At Shelly’s place, Sheba shows off the breadth of her domain and demonstrates the finer art of feline camouflage.
The humans are doomed! Helpless against the kitten hordes, against the champion KitchenMages KittenMages, Dargo, TC, Trubble, and T3. Doomed, I tell ya. Doooooooooooomed!!
S’Kat might think Shishi, Spot, Sirius Black, and the Princess Melange are merely in room-conservation mode. But, shhhh, don’t tell. They’re planning a coup!
Poor not-so-lucky Lucky, forced to wear a bow for the holidays! Angry Cat thinks he looks quite ready to have some serious words with his human, Riana.
Next week, Weekend Cat Blogging takes a trip down the mighty Columbia to KitchenMage’s house of oh-so-clever Graylings!

My camera must’ve been teary-eyed over your camera’s demise when I took these shots. That’s the only explanation I can come up with.

dear A-C,
what a wonderful job you did, completely entertaining.
it was a lot of work and creativity…and taboo and i greatly appreciated it.
thanks, too for including us.
let’s see if taboo has an adventure or two hoarded in the back of her snuggle cave with which to surprise us [she's already done the lizard-eating trick, ugh!]. oh yeah, as if she’ll let me get a shot of it: the camera & its flash and whirs fills her with contempt and she stalks off the set. to her, it’s just like more medicine and poking.
hope the rest of your weekend is a restful blast!

Wow, your cat has taken over your blog! My cat only uses laptops to warm her nether regions. Sorry, not laptop, I meant cat-warmer.
Thanks for hosting!

I still can’t believe they swiped your photo! But think, you will now be able to hire someone to keep the litterboxes clean!
