Today, Petfinder is encouraging bloggers to talk about how awesome cats are. Now, don’t tell Bella and Tavish, but I happen to agree. My first pet was actually a pretty cool cat named Buttercup.
Fun fact: pom-poms can double as a cat bed
So, in honor of Buttercup and awesome cats (and cat lovers) everywhere, today’s links are feline-focused. Enjoy some kitty cuteness, and then get out there and adopt a cat! (Let me assure you – I would happily do so if Bella and Tavish were not champion cat chasers. Maybe they need to read this post.)
- What should you name your new cat? Here are some punny pet names to get you started: Meowie Long, Rachel Scratch, and Meoward Stern.
- There are many reasons to adopt a cat. For example, do you need of a skilled goalie in the house?
- Or perhaps you just want someone to help you reenact your favorite movies at home? (If you’re not interested in that, I’m going to need you to tell me what your damage is.)
- I mean, your cat could even play the role of Simba from The Lion King. Obviously, house cats like to emulate their majestic relatives. (Bonus squee!)
- If movies aren’t your style, you could always reenact some classic paintings.
- I also hear that cats make great wingmen. They’re total chick magnets. (Duck magnets too, I hear.)
- In any event, who wouldn’t want to spend some time having a nice intellectual exchange with their favorite feline?
- Cats do have a way with words, after all.
Seriously though, in spite of all of the silly reasons I listed above, there’s only one reason you really need to know. Cats are awesome.
Also, I give a huge thumbs up to any animal that gives me a reason to make a Lionel Richie reference.
Hello, is it an adorable kitty you’re looking for?
If so, head on over to Petfinder and search for an adoptable cat near you! Then take lots of photos and tell everyone else you know why adopting a cat is the best. The Internet is sorely lacking in cat pictures, after all.
Those Hello’s were great!

I’m always happy to find another cat lover. Sometimes I feel like the lone cat person in a tribe of dog people, but the reality is I love both cats AND dogs – and I’m finding that’s true for most pet lovers!

I think that’s very true. I may not have a cat right now, but I’m a big fan! 🙂
I can’t believe you left Hunter S. Thomcat and this post, http://thebloggess.com/2013/04/vengeance-is-a-dish-best-served-with-inflatable-horns/, off your list of cat goodness this week! I thought for sure it would be one of the links! lol

Buttercup was adorable! I once had a cat that looked like Buttercup. Her name was Snowball! She was an awesome cat!

They also make great tea party companions. When I was a little girl, I dressed mine up and they had tea parties with me. They got kibble in their tea cups lol…

Aw, too cute! I used to push Buttercup around in a baby carriage…
FACT: I have the same yellow & black pom poms and a very bumble bee looking cheerleading uniform to match.
Our kitty passed away this week and we’re feeling a little sad. Koly and Fe weren’t exactly best friends, but the house feels a bit empty without a kitty to snuggle.

Hugs, lady.
If I wasn’t allergic I’d love to have a cat.
Love the Hellos! Always wanted a talking pet. Rita talks a bit, but has yet to say “I love you, Momma” – which pisses me off.
