Here’s another of my favorites from Simon’s Cat. As always, it’s so very accurate!

Last month I introduced you to Maru in Maru vs. The Big Box. Well, this adorable Scottish Fold is quickly becoming a Moderncat Fave. He lives in a cool modern pad in Japan with his mom and he is endlessly entertaining and very photogenic. Check out his blog (it’s in Japanese) and all of his other videos on YouTube. The video above is a good overview of some of his best tricks. I love Maru!

They’ve done it again! Paul and TJ from An Engineer’s Guide to Cats have made another video, this time with tips on their cat yodeling technique.

Hysterical! For a big boy, he sure can jump.

Just for fun, here are my two torties enjoying the good life. They just make me smile.

For your Friday enjoyment, I have to share with you one of the most beautiful and sweetest songs I’ve ever heard. It’s called “Kitty Song” written and performed by Sam Hart. The song is featured in this video “61 Things On My Cat,” made by Sam and his girlfriend Karen and starring their moderncat Toby. Sam and Karen are big Moderncat fans and Toby can be found in the Moderncat Gallery.

Sam and Karen want to assure you that Toby was not harmed in the making of this video, he was only slightly annoyed.

Love the sound effects!

Just for fun, I wanted to make sure everyone has seen the fabulous YouTube video The Mean Kitty Song, from hunky cat guy Corey “Mr. Safety” Williams. The video features Corey’s adorable tabby Sparta who has been featured in many more videos since his debut in The Mean Kitty Song.

I love Corey’s bio on his YouTube page:

I’m just a guy who likes to make videos. Most of them are parodies of my real life or actual experiences that I want to share with others. My goal in life is to inspire people to be themselves in order to lead happier lives. Love is my religion and my art pays the rent : )

Happy Friday!

Do you have a sprayer in your house? This video discusses feline spraying, giving a good overview of the topic and offering a couple of possible solutions.

Thanks to VideoJug for this great cat behavior & training video.

Moderncats Stuart and Ben have been up to no good and their mom Brieanne caught them on video!

Perre DiCarlo, author of Kick Litter: Nine-step Program for Recovering Litter Addicts, along with Chen Design Associates just released this fabulous video called The Powerful Kitten In You the first in the series Daily Affirmations for Cats. The video features moderncats Moxie and Cooper, the stars of Kick Litter. That groovy slow-tempo song is called Nago by Argentinian film score composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov.

If you haven’t yet purchased your copy of Kick Litter, get one today at Amazon.

They’ve done it again! Paul Klusman and his trusty assistant TJ, creators of An Engineer’s Guide to Cats, have made a new video just in time for the election. An Engineer’s Guide to Voting (Ginger Cat for President) has more of their hysterical antics, this time nominating Paul’s cat Ginger for president along with Zoey for VP. They definitely have my vote!

Remember this video, “Simon’s Cat: Cat-Man-Do”? Well, I came across a real life video showing just how true the cartoon is (without the baseball bat). Here they both are for your viewing pleasure.

This video features Charley, an awesome cat who happens to have cerebellar hypoplasia, a condition that affects the motor skills. Other than some awkward movements, Charley and other cats with this condition are happy and healthy and can live perfectly normal lives. Apparently, kittens with this condition are often needlessly destroyed. Please help spread the word that cats with cerebellar hypoplasia can make wonderful pets.

This dancing cat video is pure foolishness, but it makes me laugh everytime I watch it.

I love the part where it says, “I say sexy things to myself while I’m dancing!” but what in the world are the rest of the lyrics? Does anyone know?

I still think that the Engineer’s Guide to Cats is the best thing on YouTube, but this talking cats video is a close second. It definitely wins the award for best voiceover.

Obviously created by someone intimately familiar with cat behavior.

Some nice cat gymnastics on a tall condo from Modern Cat Designs.

This video outlines the steps of clicker training a cat. I’ve heard of this technique, but I was never really clear about how it is supposed to work. I always assumed that the clicker was for deterring bad behavior but that is not the case. Clicker training is a positive reinforcement method and the clicker sound is used to communicate when the animal has done the right thing. Positive reinforcement, also known as operant conditioning, rewards the animal for positive or desired behavior. The video helps to clarify.

Karen Pryor, an expert in clicker training, narrates this video made by clicker trainer Catherine Crawmer. You can find quite a bit of information on clicker training at www.clickertraining.com.

Has anyone ever tried this? How did it work for you?
