Happy Friday, friends! Any plans for Memorial Day weekend, my US folks? I’m going to attempt to deep clean the windows so that Junipurr has a clearer view of her land. A cat mom’s life is a glamorous one, I tell ya!
Voilà six unabashedly nerdy and fun cat-related gems from around the www:

Wanna see something recklessly nerdy? I present: Monte Carlo simulation of the The Crazy Cat Lady Game
The Jellybeans Cat Teaser is the prettiest cat wand toy I’ve ever seen, and trust — I’ve seen a few! Alas, Juni is a feather chaser who is low-key afraid of ball toys. Maybe I’ll get it for me? 😄
This Brooklyn TV mini documentary on Conrad Milster, Pratt Institute’s Chief Engineer and Resident Cat Champion, is a reminder that the world has so many fascinating, truth-tellin' and witty cat people. Or, at least New York does 😸
My dear friend & fellow cat mama L gave me a Swedish dishcloth last year, and I love how it cleans down to the molecules, so to speak :). I’m bookmarking this Smart Blue Cat Swedish dish cloth in my ‘Nerdy & Practical Cat Gifts’ folder.
Lol, 25 Nerdy Cat Names. I feel like I can out-nerdy this. How about Wiki or NPR? No? Ha, good thing the shelter gave Junipurr her name, I guess! 😂
From Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery: Effects of music on behavior and physiological stress response of domestic cats in a veterinary clinic. Hmm! But what constitutes ‘cat-specific music’? And would three physical examinations 2 weeks apart not introduce compounding factors? So many questions!
