Can LOL Cats save Seattlepi?

Nearly seven months ago the Seattle Post Intelligencer newspaper converted to an online-only news source. So how’s that going? Judging by the fact that they’re looking to LOL cats to save the day, I’d say not so good.
Today seattlepi.com begins to feature content from the blockbuster site, where site users both submit the funny photos [...]

Gigantic Rabbit Feet

Is it just me or does Danton have the largest feet you’ve ever seen on a cat? He kind of reminds me of Bugs Bunny with his white belly and white paws.

Here are some odd leftovers. To see the whole gallery, click here to go to my flickr set.

3. Bicycle and wheat.

4. Goat on a haystack.

5. Cat [...]

SC man has sex with horse

Need more traffic on your blog? You might consider creating a post with the very same title as this one. How do I know this? Danny Westneat in 2007 wrote this editorial:
As I look back at the year in news, it’s clear I should have focused more on people having sex with horses.
That’s the conclusion [...]

Paw-licking good

Danton has some sort of liver disease. We don’t know what has caused it, but he is jaundiced right now. It’s been a rough week trying to figure out how this young cat got sick and it’s possible we’ll never know. Since he won’t eat or drink at all, part of taking care of him [...]

Tatiana’s victims get $900,000

Call me cold, but I don’t think they should have gotten the money.

The two San Jose brothers whose friend was fatally mauled on Christmas Day 2007 by a tiger that escaped a closure at the San Francisco Zoo will receive $900,000 as part of a settlement in a civil lawsuit, according to a source.

My take [...]

Danton and Photography

I’ve been taking lots of photos of the cat. When you have a cute subject who is being cute nearly all the time, there is a huge temptation to take lots of photos. Sometimes the lighting for my photos was all wrong, but I found that converting to black and white in PhotoShop makes it [...]

Danton in a basket

Photoshop’s red eye corrector only went so far here. But still you got to admit he’s cute.

Danton the cat

On Monday we brought Danton home for the Seattle Animal Shelter clinic where he was neutered. Since then he’s had an amazing recovery. On day one and two he primarily hid under the bed, but by day three he was coming out to be pet. On day 4 he found our bedroom upstairs to visit. [...]

You know, America is a funny place

Take this headline and corresponding pictures.

I know this elephant. I’ve passed by it driving many a time and it is absolutely the most vile thing I’ve ever seen. For many years there was a little dirt mountain of bird crap that you could see on the inside of its belly. A little hill of dung [...]

The Implied Observer gets a cat

Not the cat in the video. Our cat is still too shy to be videotaped, but he is of a similar breed.
We picked up “Danton” from the Seattle Animal Shelter yesterday. He’d had a rough day being first neutered and then waking up in a strange place. Right now we’re trying to give him a [...]

The sad life of a chimp

Last year I posted about Bushman, the most misunderstood gorilla in the world. This year again we humans have again missed the point:
Many zoo visitors have witnessed chimpanzees throwing, uh, stuff, in the direction of people, but a particular chimp in Sweden has the scientific community abuzz because a study released Monday shows that primates [...]

Santa Monica images

1. You don’t often see tractors in the city.

2. A memorial to the soldiers killed in Iraq on the Santa Monica beach.

3. From the Santa Monica pier, a view of a school of fish.

4. A fearless pelican from posing in two angles.

Koalas suffering from the drought

What is it about animals in distress that tugs at our heart strings in a way human suffering often doesn’t? I suppose it’s because we believe animals are not at fault in their demise and they don’t have the resources that humans have to get out of their situation. While Australia burns, I find these [...]

All the cat links you could ever want

Sarah Hepola’s article The Internet is full of kittens has just about every link imaginable for cute cat stuff. I learned about Japanese television shows that dress up cats, cats that run on a treadmill and even the unthinkable: cats that look like Hitler. Hepola explains:
But it’s those skittish, unpredictable qualities that made them screwball [...]

Pit bull attack strikes the Implied Observer

Now that I’ve got your attention, this really did happen. Jake went out last night for a neighborhood run and as he turned a corner a pit bull puppy lept into the air and grabbed onto Jake’s arm then let go. Just so you know Jake is over 6 ft. Not realizing what happened, Jake [...]
