When the Fur Flies...

From the Daily Mail:

This incredible video captures the moment a sleeping cat woke up to a nightmare after discovering it was flying through the air thousands of feet from the ground.

The black and white moggy had crawled into the wing of an open-cockpit glider - thinking it would be an ideal place for a nap.

But after two people took the aircraft out for a flying session, the cat can be seen crawling along the surface of the wing before emerging in the cockpit in terrified confusion.

Thankfully, the cat made it home safe. The look on its face when he first emerges in the cockpit, though, is fantastic.

Monday Kickstart: Can't Even

Being that it's Monday morning, I'm guessing most of us can sympathize with this cat named Simon, who is coming up short on fucks to give.

From Tastefully Offensive:

Morgan James took his cats, Simon and Wash, to his local park for some outside adventure, but Simon wasn't having any of it.

Ironic that it's the active cat that's named "Wash." And why, exactly, is this guy trying to walk cats? I love cats, I grew up with cats in my household, and I never once thought trying to take them for a walk would be anything short of insane. Looks like Simon agrees with me.

But, like with Simon and his owner, this workweek is going to insist upon dragging us with it, no matter how much we resist. Maybe Ms. Daniella Dior can help put us in a more businesslike state of mind:

Let's go.

Monday Kickstart: Don't Step to This

How do you know when you're outmatched? Maybe when your opponent assumes a radical new fighting stance that you've never seen before...

...Maybe that's the moment when you ask yourself just how serious you are about seeing this thing through to the bitter end.

Of course, if you're more of a lover than a fighter, then maybe Elvida Santos will appeal to your senses.

Kitten Smitten

I don't know why she's still single.

This is Debbie. She's a passionate lady, as you'll start to find out around the :46 mark.

The Hero thinks I post too many animal-related bits. Maybe, maybe not. But, when a cat owns someone this badly, I refuse to apologize for sharing it with Crooked Straight's fans.

I could watch this for hours. Ha.

It's a shame how some people let power go to their heads.

Universal Mind Control

According to a new study, if you're a cat owner, you aren't head of the household—the cat is.

Household cats exercise this control with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow, according to the findings.

This meow is actually a purr mixed with a high-pitched cry. While people usually think of cat purring as a sign of happiness, some cats make this purr-cry sound when they want to be fed. The study showed that humans find these mixed calls annoying and difficult to ignore.

...McComb suggests that the purr-cry may subtly take advantage of humans' sensitivity to cries they associate with nurturing offspring. Also, including the cry within the purr could make the sound "less harmonic and thus more difficult to habituate to," she said.

Now I want to see a study done comparing the "manipulative meow" used by house cats to the one used by girlfriends and wives.
