Diary of a Devilcat: Beware my Evil Eye

Says Chenna the devilcat: Ellen is letting me write the WANAFriday post today, because the estimable Liv Rancourt has acknowledged that "cats run the internet" and challenged humans to post about their favourite pets, real or imaginary. She might just be my new favourite person... Well, I can assure you I am very much real … Continue reading Diary of a Devilcat: Beware my Evil Eye

Diary of a Devilcat: How to get more food

Says the devilcat: Here's the thing. Normally I get just two meals a day. Meager meals. One in the morning and one in the evening.

She damn well deserves the full devilcat treatment after halting my therapy in such an unceremonious manner. No wonder I'm so … Continue reading Diary of a Devilcat: What to do with rodents

A much happier cat than Schrödinger’s

This gorgeous animation is about a cat in a box -- a very happy and very much alive cat. A devilcat, perhaps, but one that is nonetheless loved and indulged. (See here for an explanation of Schrödinger's Cat, quite another cat in a box.) It isn't the first Simon's Cat video I've posted on this … Continue reading A much happier cat than Schrödinger’s
