Cockpit Kittens: Litter of Five Born in Historic Plane
The Hickory Aviation Museum in Hickory, North Carolina, has a display of historic aircraft on the tarmac at their facility on the grounds of Hickory Regional Airport. Last month, one of the employees checked out funny noises coming from their Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. A look inside revealed nothing going on, but then a close look at a picture he took revealed cats in the cockpit. A cat had taken shelter in the plane and had given birth to a litter of five kittens! The family had gone undetected until the kittens were old enough to start running around. The mother cat is a gray feral that had been seen hanging around the airport. All five kittens were eventually trapped and were taken to the Humane Society of Catawba County. They will be available for adoption in December. The museum crew and the Humane Society are still trying to trap the mother cat so she can join the kittens at the shelter -and be spayed. -via People(Image credit: Hickory Aviation Museum) #cat #kitten #plane #museum

Melon Be Smellin' All Kinds of Things
Melon the cat gets to smell something new everyday. And 99% of the time, she gags at the scent. Yeah, she's a picky cat, and foods that her human parents, Derek and Riley, eat just don't appeal to her for the most part. That means a treat for her brother Finn, who eats anything. You might be surprised to find that there are a few things Melon really likes to smell (and eat), but they are not what you'd expect.
They All Got New Homes But Fern
The Bloomfield Animal Shelter in New Jersey held a public cat adoption event on October 16 at the local civic center. It was a smashing success, with 18 out of 21 cats and kittens going to permanent homes. However, there was one cat who was left feeling like the last kid to be picked for a sports team. Fern, a two-year-old cat, was very shy at her first public event, and was returned to the shelter.Fern was the only adult cat not adopted at yesterday’s Adoption Event. This poor girl put on her bravest face at her first event and watched all the others go home. We know she’s a bit more reserved than other young cats her age, but we’d like to think she’s waiting to feel secure and loved in her very own Furever Home before showing her true personality.Poor kitty. But then two days after the word went out, the shelter updated the Facebook post to tell us they are reviewing multiple applications to adopt Fern! Never underestimate the power of social media. -via Fark(Image credit: The Bloomfield Animal Shelter NJ) #cat #shelter #adoption
Tito and His Unique "Toys"
Tito was abandoned at three weeks of age. It's not said, but it's more likely that he was dumped by his mother's human owners. But he was found, and Dalia took him home and bottle-fed him and nursed him back to health. Tito grew up to be a loving and playful cat, even though it took him a while to warm up to a little sister named Mona. But what really sets Tito apart is his obsession with tampons! However, once you think about it, they are the perfect cat toy: lightweight, small, has a crinkly cover and a string attached. Still, they are expensive compared to bread ties and milk rings. You can see more of Tito and Mona at Dalia's TikTok gallery.#cat #rescue #tampon

Richey Goes from Street Cat to Boat Captain
Chris Poole, also known as Cat Man Chris, became well-known through his cats Cole and Marmalade and is an advocate for stray, feral, ad homeless cats. He made friends with a stray that turned out to have been abandoned when his family moved away. With a lot of patience and catnip, Poole worked up to the easiest "getting a cat into the carrier" moment I've ever seen. The cat, eventually named Richey, was adopted by Kiley and her parents, Lori and Jason. Jason said since they talked him into a cat, he was going to get a boat. You can see a video of Richey exploring the boat for the first time here. That was a year and a half ago, and the whole family, Richey included, now takes boat trips all over. You can follow their adventures at YouTube or Facebook.#cat #rescue #boat

Cats Learning to Make Biscuits
I told a story where I mentioned my cat was making biscuits, and my brother said, "I've never heard that term before, but I instantly knew what you meant." If you have a cat, you know how they knead something with their paws when they are self-soothing. Why do they do it? It appears they are practicing their baking skills. Jim Walsh's cat Mackenzie gets a little help from a baking show.
Feral Cat Fosters Bobcat Kitten
Millstone Wildlife Center in New Hampshire was presented with a 6-week old female bobcat kitten that had been abandoned by her mother. She was much too young to be left alone, yet the wildlife center did not want her to be habituated to humans, in order that she could be returned to the wild eventually. They contacted nearby Spicy Cats, a shelter that rehabilitates feral cats. Spicy Cats has a cat named Honeybun who is quite maternal- she had already fostered several abandoned kittens, but never a wild cat. Would she take in a kitten from a different species? See the moment Honeybun was introduced to the bobcat kitten. So much purring! Honeybun was able to calm the frightened, heartbroken kitten and give her the grooming and cuddles she needs. Watch a video of the kitten chewing on Honeybun's ear. The plans are to leave the bobcat kitten at the cat shelter until she is old enough, then pair her with other bobcats at the wildlife center to learn how to be a bobcat. Eventually, she will be released back into the wild. Honeybun may find a new home as well. -via The Dodo(Image credit: Spicy Cats)#bobcat #cat #fostermother #interspeciesadoption

UK Mom Gets A Surprise When Family Cat Shows Up in School Photos
A UK mom got quite the surprise when she opened up her child’s school photos. Included in the packet were delightful pictures of the family cat. As far as we know, the cat is not actually a student at the school.At least two images were taken of the furry trespasser. The cat, for his part, did his best to blend in with the other pupils. As one can see from the Facebook photos he looked like a very proper student in both images. According to Emma Robert’s Facebook page the family’s pet cat strolled into the school on his own. He proceeded to jump on the chair placed out for pictures. Moreover, as one can see from the photos the cat clearly gives his best disinterested student pose for the camera.The cat’s antics clearly tickled the photographers. We are pretty sure the cat wasn't fooling anyone. The cat looks a little young to pass for a school aged child. People on Facebook are encouraging the school to name the cat their new school mascot. It would be a cat-astrophe if they didn't. (Image Credit: Emma Roberts) #cat #schoolphoto

Cattera, the Heavy Metal Band with a Feline Singer
What goes together better than heavy metal and cats? "Anything," you might think. But that's what makes Cattera so special. This band has a cat for a lead singer. Actually, their only singer. Record company executive Anna Mrzyglocki took in a street cat she named Roope-Shakir, and was impressed by his strong meows. The next thing you know, Roope-Shakir is heading a four-piece band with a single called "Hunger of the Beast." Cattera is obviously inspired by Pantera (for the name) and Iron Maiden (for the song title). No cats were harmed in the making of this song. Let's seeRoope-Shakir at work.

Maybe he was thinking he looked like one cool cat. #mountainlion #cat #california
A Selective Feeder for Different Pets
Feeding time at my home zoo is a chore because the animals enjoy each other’s food. It’s necessary for me to lock the pets in different parts of my home to prevent them from eating their siblings’ dinners. So I really need a gadget like this by Instructables member tomasdiazwahl.His cat is diabetic and needs a special diet. He needs only his food and all of his food, so tomasdiazwahl combined an Arduino Uno and a bathroom scale to trigger the opening and closing of the cat’s covered food dish. It opens only by the cat’s known weight within half a pound.-via Hack A Day#cat #feeder #DIY
Nugget and His Potato Friends
Nugget loves his dad, to the chagrin of his mom, who was the one wanting to adopt a cat in the first place. But Nugget loves potatoes more than anything. I once had a cat who ate potatoes- she would find them wherever my mother moved them. She didn't like the peels, though, and we would find the evidence in little cat-bite shaped potato skin shreds. But Nugget doesn't eat potatoes; he just likes having them around. They are like a security blanket of sorts for this cat who is a survivor of mouth cancer. Nugget is now toothless, but he gets all the love and care he needs from his family. You can keep up with Nugget and his potato friends at Instagram.#cat #potato #toothless
