Funny Cats Youtube
Source:- Google.com.pkIn July we lost our family cat Salem. Salem was a black long hair fluffy kitty with great big green eyes. He was named after the cat on the tv show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." He was our world. He hated to be alone and followed us everywhere around the house. He always wanted to be in the middle of everything we did and we loved it. Salem was mostly an indoor cat but liked to go to the bathroom outside. So we would let him out to potty and then he would come right back in. He didn't like to be away from us for very long and he hated to be alone. He was extremely loving and gentle. We thought he would be with us forever.
One day when we let him out he didn't come back in. He just completely disappeared. There were reports of a coyote in the neighborhood and a neighbors cat also went missing about the same time. We were heart broken and devasted. The loss we felt was so great I can't put it into words. The house felt empty and we just couldn't believe that our sweet cat could be gone. We had the whole neighborhood looking for our cat and unfortunately,we never found him.
In September we thought we should get another cat. This time we wanted a kitten. We found a place that was adopting out kittens nearby and they had a huge selection to choose from. I decided to go over one day when the kids were in school. I had my heart set on finding a little black long haired kitten that would remind me of Salem.
The place had maybe 30-40 cats and most of them kittens that had been abandoned or dropped off by previous owners. There was even a litter of long haired black kittens. The lady who ran the place told me I could make myself at home and take my time picking out my pet. I sat down in the middle of the floor and started playing with them. Talk about cuteness overload!
Out of nowhere this little gray kitten jumped up on my lap and curled into a ball. I thought he was sweet and started petting him while reaching to pick up a black kitty. Another fluffy white and beige kitten came over to sit on my lap too. The gray kitten clawed at her and tried to bite her. She fell off my lap and sat next to me looking up at me with big blue eyes. I picked the gray kitty up off of my lap to let him know that wasn't nice and picked up the little fluffy.
Meesha just after I brought him home.
But the kitten climbed right back up. I smiled and told him he was a cute kitty, put him down again and stood up. I walked over to a group of sleeping kittens. But the little gray kitten persisted. He jumped onto my leg and started climbing up my pants. I picked him up and sat him on a bench. He jumped from the bench as I was walking away and started climbing up my shirt.
This went on for a while before I finally resigned to the fact that I would have to carry him around if I was going to look at any of the other kittens. The kitten was completely content in my arms. He even let me cradle him like a baby. He just wanted me to carry him. And his purr is loud! So I knew he was content.
I tried a few more times to sit with the other kittens and cats while holding him. Everytime I gave another cat attention this little gray kitten would turn into a ninja attack kitty fighting off any kitten or cat that would even dare to come over for attention or sit in my lap. He didn't care how big they were either. A cat that must have weighed around 20 lbs came over for affection and Meesha bit him on the back!
The lady asked me what kind of cat I was looking for. I said "A black fluffy one. But I think this one just adopted me." That's how I became Meesha's pet.
The lady at the kitty shelter also told me the story of my new kitten. Meesha was found swimming in a local lake where someone had abandoned a litter of kittens. His siblings did not survive. A woman rescued him and brought him to this shelter where they took care of him until he could find a new home.
So, that's the story of how Meesha chose me one day at a kitty shelter.. And he is the sweetest most gentle cat ever! He loves to cuddle and be held. But he's also extremely intelligent and active. And this kitty never ever goes outside unless he's in his carrier or in my arms and on his kitty leash.
And some poutine from Duke's, a little later on in the morning.
Even if most of the exhibit buildings don't open till 9 in the morning, at least you manage to get an opportunity for some serious walking around ... which continued when the commercial exhibits "under the Grandstand" (known colloquially as Varied Industries) opened at 9, eventually allowing moi to pick up my annual Televac Personality Analysis, a maple meat snack stick and a 2014 calendar (which, after some debate to myself, led to one of those featuring Gary Patterson's feline whimsicalia).
Meanwhile, making my traditional patronage of the mascots during their "meet-and-greet" sessions, I couldn't help but notice where Fairborne (who turns 30 this year) now has blue stripes on his showman's jacket and a blue band on the straw hat; the better to avoid long-standing confusion with his uncle Fairchild (as still wears green stripes). And they can get incredibly silly welcoming visitors old and new, and posing for photos (not to mention be rather impressed at some of the discoveries made by yours truly, particularly so at the 4-H exhibits they just love). Lunchtime followed: a wild-rice cheeseburger and waffle fries, with a large birch beer on the side ... followed not long afterward by a Farmers' Union Frappe from their ur-coffee house in the Minnesota Farmers' Union building. Not even your ice-cream headaches can rival those from a frappe.
(Did I mention also buying some Sham-Wow towelling on a "twofer" offer, one set of which was gifted to the motel I do for?)
Following supper at the Hamline Church's dining hall on their storied ham loaf (with bread pudding for dessert), Your Correspondent set out for this year's raison d'etre of his visit: None other than the Internet Cat Video Festival, my first Grandstand experience there. Even with inspection of my shopping bags by security before coming in, I managed to find my seat--front-and-center, first row on the main plaza; credit that to my buying one of the first tickets therefor when they went on sale online. And there was no doubt hilarity ensuing galore throughout--except, however, when two of the biggest stars of the online cat-video genre, Li'l Bub and Grumpy Cat (and their handlers), showed up on stage concurrently. Luckily, no catfights or Katzenjammer between the two ensued (even when Grumpy Cat's original video took home the festival's highest honour, the Golden Cat; five others, including such classics as Nyan Cat, the Japanese sensation Maru, and Keyboard Cat, took home Hall of Fame awards).
(To explain Grumpy Cat's perennial scowl, it's because Tardare Sauce--to use her real name--has a cleft lip.)
And in line with the Minnesota State Fair's long-established tradition of butter sculpture (which actually predates the facial likenesses of Princess Kay of the Milky Way and her court making such an institution rivalled only by the Iowa State Fair's own Butter Cow), the same sculptress who's responsible for the Princess Kay likenesses also contributed a cat sculpted out of a block of butter. (Which, incidentally, was a composite of several cats she was acquainted with. And a male, may I add.)
In case you were wondering about some of the funnier specimens of online feline video among the audience during the actual screening, they included:
A trio of Egyptian sphinx cats swaying their heads to the beat of Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmuzik."
A cat perched atop a closet storage box poking away at an outside window for awhile, eventually crashing through same to the outside, and tapping away therefrom.
Stop-motion animation showing a rather furry cat riding on a briefcase across the floor and the dining-room table.
A cat dolled up in a shark costume, riding atop a Roomba vacuum all the while, trying to chase a duckling across the floor--until a dog in like costume joins in the hijinks.
The aforementioned Maru's hijinks, wiggling his way through an empty box to the point of stuffing himself therein, a la Schrodinger's Cat ... until the box broke up on him. (A Hall of Fame winner, know.)
An ur-Saturday Night Live sketch about a young couple unintentionally getting cats with the bedding and appliances they ordered through the IKEA catalogue, and the store explaining that such were clearance items. (Itself calling to mind a Monty Python sketch about unintentional bonus gifts being added to such purchases as dung with three Book-of-the-Month Club selections, a dead Indian with a new gas oven and the M4 motorway with two cartons of coffee cream.)
(Incidentally, Animal Planet streamed the proceedings live across Teh Innerwebz.)
The traditional end-of-Grandstand-performance fireworks display essentially made it a night--along with two bottles of Dasani water through the evening's course.
Luckily, though, this closing weekend of TGMnGT 2013 (it closes on Labour Day, know) should turn out being rather pleasant and not as humid as earlier on, which saw the misting stations rather popular and going overtime with hot and weary visitors. But it wouldn't hurt to leave early in the morning if you want to beat the expected crowds on the last two days, with Labour Day proper, the Fair's closing day, also seeing some "last chance" value-for-money offers from some of the retailers there.
