Keep Cats Safe As They Rule The World This Summer
Keep Cats Safe As They Rule The World This Summer by Clyde. Yes, I am a cat.
We’ve revised our Summer Safety Guide for Cats for 2017
because you can never be too safe when preparing to rule the world. Our guide has practical tips for everything from under the sun, literally! Personally, I have zero interest in hiking, pool parties or picnics unlike my predecessor mentor, Merlin
but summer fun can be fraught with dangers you need to know about. Odin, like many cats is all about me, me, me and mine. Everything belongs to him and that includes poison ivy, bees, ticks, the wild turkey he chased the other day and the baby blue jay. Layla saved the fledgling but not before the blue jay’s family gave Odin a loud nose bomb chorus of NIMBY. Odin of course did not listen because…
he believes cats rule the world. A cute cat meme went viral recently but it’s nothing new. The cat coughing up a hairball (or is it playing ball with Australia?) went viral on Reddit over three years ago. I played with the meme because I’m a cat and it’s my feline prerogative.
And then an artist from Russia who loves New York, sent us a kitty map he’d made. Maybe cats need to be the peace bridge between Russia and the U.S.? Thank you Serghei Pakhomov. He makes brilliant sculptures out of pasta and old watches. He’s cat lover and you can see more of his quirky humor, art and cat on Facebook.
That’s the kind of week it’s been. And we might actually have our book on Amazon this week barring a cold war or more stranger-than-fiction madness. What a long strange trip it’s been and one you’ll read about in a memoir. Don’t worry, I won’t be writing it. I’m working on another project. Top secret for now.
Much love,
Clyde,
and my comrades in paws, Domino, Odin and Nou Nou who has a secret life and fellow one-eyed boyfriend on Instagram. Who knew? What’s weirder is the first two accounts who liked the pic at blackcats_of_the_house_cimbala happen to be featured in our book. The dashing Leopold from @kata.ivan and the supermeowdel @Toothlesstheblack.cat are two of the 100 amazing black cats featured.

We definitely rule the world! Those maps are just purrfect. We hope you guys have a safe and happy summer.

Skeetr and Izzy are right when they said that cats could do a far better job of ruling the world than humans. This planet would be a much better place if we’d just follow the example that these elegant, intelligent, insightful, and brilliant creatures jave shown us.
Sweet Purrfections
We love how the maps of the world can be seen as cats!

Yes cats rule the world, although sometimes the world can be cruel… not a good evening or morning here so keeping it short.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Oh no about your news. I’ll be in touch.

Problemos are par for the course but eventually babies are born and they grow up and then there are new problems LOL I bet if cats rules there would be less or we wouldn’t care 😉
Kathryn
My hope also is that your book gets on Amazon, with a mere flick of a cat tongue or a wave of a cat paw, so a cat doesn’t have to snarl or bare its teeth.
<3 <3 <3
Here's hoping.

From your lips to the cat god’s ear.xoxo
Caren Gittleman
super pawesome post!! Brilliant idea having tips in the Bio!
Layla Morgan Wilde
It got confusing having the Instagram graphic shared here but the link to the article is on Instagram.
easyweimaraner
oh I hope the cats can be the bridge between the two countries… I anyway thought that a sleeping kitty is a better ambassador for peace … much more than pawcasso’s pigeon…
Cathy Keisha
We do rule the world, that’s for sure.
Eastside Cats
It’s been a weird Monday so far; lots of things not working correctly, or being forgotten…or both! Hope the rest of the week irons out!
Layla Morgan Wilde
Weird Monday indeed. I’m taking it one day at a time and hope your week unfolds without a wrinkle xoxo
Summer
Yay! Paws crossed that your book goes up on Amazon without any more trouble!
Layla Morgan Wilde
Thanks, that would be a minor miracle but maybe the tide is turning 🙂
