Camo Kitty

 In the tangle of leafless vines, a kitten has found a hammock. 

There he is. He's hard to see, but easy on the eyes.

 He's known as ...


 Camo Kitty.

 Which is good, because Monkey Paw sounds more disparaging.

 Here, Camo Kitty camouflages his head. Where'd it go?


 He's a master of stealth.

And cuteness.

Stacking food on animals

Japanese game shows have a reputation for being kind of crazy. There's this video of a game show which involves stacking food on patient pets. There's a lot of drool, baby talk in Japanese, a Gumby shirt and an insane amount of food tempting the animals, which seems like a mild form animal torture—or just really testing their will. It is kind of amazing, though.

The lone wolverine

A wolverine has been spotted in the Sierra Nevada by motion-detecting cameras. According to The Sacramento Bee:

"Scientists have traced the animal's DNA to wolverines in the northern Rockies and believe he may have wandered down solo from Idaho – a journey of more than 500 miles across rivers, deserts, highways and railroads."

See his pictures and read his story here.

Turtle vs. Cats

So there's the famous fable about the tortoise and the hare. Everyone's heard it. But what about the story of the turtle and two cats? Once upon a time ...


I am not sure what is crazier, the turtle or the music.
But don't watch it on this page. The Petophile is too busy taking photos of cats to learn how to size down the video for this wretched blog. See the full-frame vid here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i1BWH_H6mc.

Speckles at sunset

Ears are orange, body white. Reminds me of this white cat with orange ears and tail—and also was super sweet.

Caseyface has a new passion

 Casey cozies up to a banjo.

 Who know she had a thing for folk music?


And the nastiest shot of them all:
