Spider cat can climb walls

Ever seen a cat climb a vertical wall? neither had I until I saw this video.

Dubbed “spider cat” by the UK media, Charlie the cat climbs a two story wall. “If no one hears him miaowing to come in at the front door, Charlie just wanders round to the back and climbs up to the balcony to get in that way” said the cat’s owner.

Not sure what else I can say other than this isn’t something you see every day.

Voodoo the Cat: falls 34 stories and lives

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a cat called Voodoo falling from his 34th floor Australian penthouse apartment balcony and walking away with barely a scratch. One life down, eight to go.

Voodoo’s owner Sheree Washington said Voodoo liked to live life on the edge. He often balanced right on the edge of the balcony.

Voodoo’s owners first noticed Voodoo was missing after they had finished dinner. They searched for him for several hours but couldn’t find him. Yesterday morning, they trekked down to the ground floor expecting to find the remains of Voodoo splattered all over the side walk. The Manx cat was expected to be manky. A flat cat, you get the idea.

Instead, they found Voodoo with nothing more than a few scratches having fallen the 34 floors. There was a cat shaped indent in a bush which Voodoo had fallen on undoubtedly cushioning the cat’s fall.

Voodoo, in what his owners believe is a Christmas miracle limped away from the incident with a bloodshot eye, a scratched ear, a cut mouth and a damaged paw.

Mrs Washington said the vet told her the record for known survival from a fall was a cat which fell 64 floors in New York. Its commonly believed that the more times cats have to adjust themselves in a fall the more likely they are to survive, which is why cats tend to be injured when falling form lower floors.

So did he fall or fellow conspiracy theorists was he pushed? The mice did it.

No word on whether Voodoo is going after the 64 floor world record.

Save Bubba, the transgendered cat

Millions of animals are abandoned in America each year, and sadly many of them never find new homes. Chicago cat Bubba was one of the lucky ones, but time on the streets can be traumatic.

Bubba has trust issues. Although he bonded with his new owners, after a leg amputation and being put on a special diet due to food allergies, but he doesn’t trust strangers, hiding or hissing at anyone who came along.

Bubba’s new owners turned to an animal behaviorist, who recommended training and behavioral techniques, but to no avail. Desperate, Bubba’s owners looked for help, and they turned to a pet psychic, and this was the result

Through speaking to Bubba telepathically, the psychic determined that Bubba is so shy because HE is really a SHE. Bubba is transgendered. Bubba suffers from low self-image and has been mentally distraught because she has been forced to live in a male cat body for so long.

Now Bubba’s owners need your help and are looking for donations to raise money to enable Bubba to continue his therapy sessions with the pet psychic, and to raise funds for Bubba’s upcoming gender reassignment surgery.

If you feel inclined to give, the page with all the details, including donation button is here
