This has been the week of cats for me. purrrrrrrrrr
Of course, everyday is full of feline fun since Bridget Brown moved in back in 2009. My admiration for her Long Beach, Mississippi born charm/dysfunction has been properly documented. So, I won’t stay on this too long.
The big cat news this week was when I interviewed a mother and father duo who are in jeopardy of losing their house full of cats because they have more than the 6 cat limit in Olive Branch, MS. It was a heartbreaking story full of tears, litter boxes, 16 year old elderly cats and kitchen prepared chicken lunches their owners feed them. (for real) (yum) (adopt me)
WATCH The mother and son talk about how much they love their cats.

He admits it sounds silly
He loves them
Then, today there is an article in the NYTIMES talking about just what serious killers domestic cats are….I’ve known Bridget is holding in her inner huntress, but I had no idea the number of kills they make every year. Interesting read, I’m telling you.
All of this has had me singing and inconspicuously dancing to The Cure song :: The Love Cats.
It has the sweetest little chorus with adorably lyrics……
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this The way we walk The way we talk The way we stalk The way we kiss We slip through the streets While everyone sleeps Getting bigger and sleeker And wider and brighter We bite and scratch and scream all night Let's go and throw All the songs we know... Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing We missed you hissed the lovecats We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty! Oh you know that I'd do anything for you... We should have each other to tea huh? We should have each other with cream Then curl up by the fire And sleep for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing We missed you hissed the lovecats We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully Wonderfully pretty! Oh you know that I'd do anything for you... We should have each other to dinner huh? We should have each other with cream Then curl up in the fire Get up for awhile It's the grooviest thing It's the perfect dream Hand in hand Is the only way to land And always the right way round Not broken in pieces Like hated little meeces... How could we miss Someone as dumb as this? I love you... let's go... Oh... solid gone... How could we miss Someone as dumb as this?
