Our cats are both experiencing a few urinary issues (crystals, specifically) so I went to Google to try to understand what’s going on here. Our vets are great, but I don’t really get what the cat’s body is doing so I wanted to understand more. Through the search, I ran across a thread at Catster that reminds me why pet owners are sometimes looked at funny by non-pet owners. The entire thread, except for the initial question asker, is written in the first person perspective of the cats owned by the people writing the posts. Of course, a social network for cat owners should’ve sent up some red flags.

If I start writing as if I’m Cliche, someone slap me to wake me up. Thanks.

Via Engadget, we find out about a device that allows a paraplegic/crippled cat to move around by pushing buttons. A man built a small robotic platform that the cat can operate by pushing two buttons by the front paws. While I think the device is ingenious, the cat doesn’t exactly look happy strapped into the device. Watch the video and see for y ourself.

The cat also looks disturbingly similar to Cliché, and I know when she meows like that, she’s not a happy camper…
