A couple weeks ago, I posted a video of Maru, the box-diving dare devil kitty. He’s a fearless, cute Scottish Fold who lives in Japan and spends his days diving into tunnels and boxes, thus providing us with hours of entertainment on YouTube.
Check out his blog (it’s in Japanese) and his other videos on YouTube. The video above has clips of all of his best tricks.

Had to include this one…
Check it out.  It’s so funny.  Contains videos of cats doing incredible flips, running on their front legs, doing the “Curly Shuffle”, and all kinds of other zany stuff.  About half-way through it gets a little slow for just a moment.  Keep watching though, ’cause it picks up again.
Enjoy!

Well once again, here’s a cute video that has nothing to do with toilet training. But it’s so funny, I had to add it.  It’s of a cat named Maru, whose hobby is diving into empty boxes at full speed.

This video does a nice job of showing us the very beginner stages of toilet training your cat. In this case, they’re using Litter Kwitter products. (You can tell by the colored inserts they place in the toilet bowl.) The kitten looks to be about 4 or 5 months old.

Great soundtrack, too!

Here’s a video of a news report by KNBC news about the $22,000 Ashera cat.  Included in the video are clips of Simon Brodie, the developer of the hybrid cat.

If you’re a cat lover and haven’t heard about the designer Ashera (sometimes misspelled “Ashira”) cat with the minimum price tag of $22,000, then you must be living under a rock! The UK’s Mail Online reported on the luxury cat, as did the Pet News Examiner and msnbc.com, informing readers of the facts as they found them:

Bred by a company called Life Style Pets in California
Bred from the African serval and Asian leopard cat, crossed with an undisclosed domestic breed

Here’s a video about “toygers” (ridiculously expensive) and ashira cats (insanely expensive), the new “designer breeds” of pets. The toygers are popular in the UK and sell for a few thousand dollars, while the ashira’s are more popular in the US and have a price tag that starts at $20,000.

You can see another video about the ashira cat specifically here.

The Ventura County Star recently ran an article, rating and reviewing various unique Christmas gifts. The first listed was the CatGenie Cat Toilet.
“On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a toilet called the Cat Genie.”
Just a quick check on google will inform you that the CatGenie is supposedly the world’s only self-washing, self-flushing cat box.  And apparently the newer version drains hairballs, too.  The article in the Ventura Star reports that It is said to be invented by a former rocket scientist.

Ok, so now forget about the litter box AND forget about going through the process of toilet training your cat. Check out this video of the CatGenie cat toilet.
It’s amazing!

You hook it up to a water input and your sewer system and your cat has his own real toilet. And guess what! You don’t have to do a thing!  The cat does his business and you push a button.  That’s it.  The CatGenie then scoops the waste out and eliminates it, flushes the bowl with the special …

Lately, there’s been a  bit of a boom in popularity of exotic cats among the rich and famous.  Two such cats are the Savannah Cat and the hybrid Ashira Cat.  There’s some concern as to just how trainable these cats are.  In the case of the Savannah cat, most experts recommend getting at least a 2nd generation tamed one, rather than 1st generation.  Since the Ashira Cat is hybrid anyway, this cautionary measure doesn’t apply.  The Ashira is reported to be a bit more rambunctious than the typical house cat, …
