Weekly Friday Fun – Dogs, Cats and Bands

Posted in Friday Fun - Weekly post, General Colin McNulty Stuff at 6:24 am by Colin McNulty

This short video of a dog sleeping is funny, but only for the first half:

This is a great video of 3 cats fighting over 1 steak. I love the grey one chewing it whilst the other 2 play tug of war! Shame the own interfered at the end:

However, not strictly a “fun” video, but this band are my personal pick as the best band I’ve heard of 2009, and they publish half the songs (and videos) from their début album on their website. Check them out and come back to let me know what you think: Scouting For Girls

Weekly Friday Fun – More Cat Videos

Posted in Friday Fun - Weekly post, General Colin McNulty Stuff at 9:51 pm by Colin McNulty

Yes I know, *more* cat videos. It’s not my fault, cats are cute, and the internet was pretty much invented for cat videos, so what ya gona do? This first one is the ultimate in cat stoicism, as this cat tries to ignore the fact that it’s sitting on a monster subwoofer!

Cat must have Striiiiiing!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it lunch? This is evolution in motion and boy does this cat need the exercise!

There are a million videos of cats on catnip on YouTube, but this snippet from a documentary is superbly put together and shows a mass cat stoning:

And I thought our cats were stroppy, this cat is seriously unhappy:

Kitten + turntable = inevitable results:

Is this the cutest baby “thing” ever? What on earth is this animal, it’s a head on legs!?!

Friday Fun – Cat videos

Posted in Friday Fun - Weekly post, General Colin McNulty Stuff at 8:39 pm by Colin McNulty

There’s not a lot that the internet does better than videos of cats, and here are some corkers. Checkout the pupil dilation on this cart video, it’s amazing! Great timed music too, wait for it, it takes 20 secs to get going:

Ahhh isn’t it cute when cats and dogs are friends. Checkout what happens when this forbidden love goes wrong as the cat goes for 3rd base…

And we’ll finish with a clear demonstration of how cats are a lot cleverer than they let on:

Deaths in the Family

Posted in General Colin McNulty Stuff at 7:41 pm by Colin McNulty

What a torrid few days it’s been. One of our cats “Snap” has been ill since the new year with a wounds in his leg and behind his neck that won’t heal. We’ve been through 7 different treatments, 4 types of bandage, 3 collars, 2 vets, £700 and he’s been incarcerated in the living room for 10 weeks.

Sadly it all came to no avail and after getting gangrene in his leg, we had to take the decision to have him put to sleep on Friday. It was made worse by the fact that I wasn’t at home and the family had to deal with it without me. It’s always sad to lose a cat, especially when we’ve put in such an effort to treat him, he was only 4 years old too. In fact, it’s the very first cat we’ve had to put down, others have been run over or simply gone missing. Jadzia was very upset, as I’m sure you can imagine.

I’m beginning to wonder if naming cats in a theme when you get them is a good idea. We got 3 cats at once and so called them Snap, Crackle and Pop. First Pop disappeared when we were on holiday and now Snap has gone, leaving just Crackle. We also got Romulus and Remus, but Romulus got run over round the corner. Somewhere along the line, Crackle and Remus doesn’t have quite the same ring to it…

Then this morning whilst at work, I get a call from a crying little girl: she’s woken up to find her hamster is dead in its cage. Losing 2 pets in 4 days, that’s not good! It makes me feel terrible for working away from home too, as I’m not there to help with Daddy comfort and burial duties. At 2 years old, it’s not a terrible age for a hamster, and given the number of times it escaped and was chased by the cats in the house (once actually getting properly caught!) it’s been lucky to live that long to be honest.

Not a good week.
