FUN CAT VIDEOS

If you need some good laughs – and these days, who doesn’t? – we’ve got just the thing for you! As a public service to all cats and cat lovers, we’ve assembled the latest and best (and funniest) cat videos on the web… all in one place for your convenience. Simply visit the official The World Is Your Litter Box website, click on “Fun Cat Videos,” and get ready to laugh your hind end off!

And if you have or are aware of a fun cat video that we don’t have on the site, please let us know. Our team of highly-trained cat video experts (me and Steve) will check it out, and if it scores high on the Laugh-O-Meter, we’ll add it.

Meanwhile, click away and have fun. That’s entertainment!

MEMORIAL DAY 2009

On this Memorial Day weekend, amid all the shopping and BBQs, let's all take a few moments to remember the humans who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and defend the way of life we enjoy and hold so dear. I wish there were no wars, but I give wholehearted thanks the men and women who fought and died in them on our behalf.

And let's also use this opportunity to remember all the wonderful kitties who graced us with their presence and have now gone to the rainbow bridge. Thank you for the years of joy you gave us, and thank you for enriching our lives with your unconditional love. We remember you one and all.

KITTEN SEASON 2009

Hey fellow cats, it’s kitten season once again! Time for your human to go to the local shelter or contact a pet rescue organization to adopt a lovable little bundle of fluff that will bring a lifetime a joy to your household.

Now, you’re probably thinking, 'Geez, Quasi, I don’t know… kittens can be rambunctious and annoying. Won’t they disturb my napping routine?' Well sure, kittens CAN be a pain in the hindquarters, but they provide hours of entertainment, they make perfect little acolytes and partners in crime, and if you create a little destructive mayhem yourself, you can always pin the blame on them. And you never know… one of them might grow up to be a world-famous author like me (HA-HA!).

So if you have room in your house and heart, use your kitty wiles to let your human know that you want a new little friend or two or three RIGHT NOW! With kitten season upon us, there will be multitudes of kittens in need of good and loving homes. Besides… is there ANYTHING on Earth cuter than a kitten?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Where would we be without our mothers? Unless you’re Adam or Eve, the answer is… nowhere. Sure, your mom made you clean your room and eat disgusting things like spinach when you were a kid, but she also gave you (and continues to give you) unconditional love… something that can be pretty hard to come by in our hectic and sometimes heartless world.

Even though all mothers are special 365 days a year, only one day per year is set aside to officially honor and remember them. So, as a public service to humans, cats, and all other multi-celled organisms, I want to remind you to CALL YOUR MOTHER on Mother’s Day! And while you’re at it, why not get her something thoughtful like flowers or a box of candy… or, if you’re a cat like me, a nice, delicious mouse.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MOMS EVERYWHERE!

THE WORLD IS YOUR LITTER BOX 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

My, how time flies! It was exactly one year ago today (May 6th) that my hilarious how-to manual for cats, The World Is Your Litter Box, was released, and since then, it has brought untold enjoyment to cats and cat lovers around the world. Sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who bought the book… Steve and I really appreciate it! And if you haven’t yet bought a copy, what are you waiting for? If they don’t have it at your local book store, you can order it from Amazon or Barnes & Noble. For more information about the book and lots of other fun stuff, please visit the official The World Is Your Litter Box website.

Meanwhile, we’re hard at work on the second book, The World Is STILL Your Litter Box, and we’re shooting for a Christmas 2009 release. If you liked the first book, you’ll LOVE the new one.

We’re in the process of compiling a mailing list, so if you would like to receive periodic updates about the new book, including tasty and tantalizing excerpts, please send your email address to quasi@theworldisyourlitterbox.com. Your information will be kept confidential and I promise… we won’t try to sell you Viagra or offer you untold riches from some country you’ve never heard of.

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

Here’s an “ole” out to all cats and humans of Mexican heritage in honor of Cinco de Mayo… that’s the fifth of May for you non-Spanish-speaking people and non-Spanish-meowing kitties.

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated to commemorate the defeat of French forces in the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. At the time, the Mexican government had stopped making payments to its creditors, including France, so France decided to try and take over Mexico to teach them a lesson (and to replace tortillas with croissants, I’m sure). Well, things didn’t work out so well for the French, who were turned back at Puebla. Still, the French later prevailed and occupied Mexico until 1866.

Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated primarily in Puebla, although year by year, the holiday has gained popularity worldwide. Could that be because most Cinco de Mayo celebrations are accompanied by liberal amounts of cerveza?

Anyway, Senor Quasi extends happy Cinco de Mayo wishes to gatos and humanistas everywhere!
