🐾 FUR THE LOLS 🐾

(Because living with a cat is already a full-time sitcom.)

It’s the internet, so here’s what you really came for:

#1 This Week in Cat Chaos

🔬Chester the Physics Pioneer

n 1975, Michigan State physicist Jack Hetherington ran into a funny problem: his research paper used “we” instead of “I.” Back then, journals were strict, and the only fix was to retype the whole paper. Instead, he did what any clever human would do - he added a co-author.

His choice? His cat, Chester, who appeared under the very official pen name FDC Willard (Felis Domesticus Chester Willard). With paw-signed copies sent to friends, Chester’s identity didn’t stay secret for long. The physics community embraced him, and Chester went on to publish again - this time as the sole author - making him the greatest feline physicist of all time.

Yes, you can even find his legacy on Google Scholar. 😸📚

#2 Meme of the Week

The Murder Plot Twist 🐾

Some pets give cuddles. Others give clues.

In this scene: Panel 1: The cat - “I’ve calculated 17 ways to take you out by dinner.” Panel 2: The dog - “Bro, I’m literally trying to save your life right now.”

It’s a classic case of good cop, bad cop - only furrier. And honestly? The dog deserves hazard pay. 💜🐾

#4 Poll Purr-sonal Space? Never Heard of It 🛏️🐱

💡 Fun Fact: Cats are territorial masterminds — but their “territory” is usually wherever you are. Studies show they gravitate toward spots that smell like their humans (beds, laundry, laptops). Translation? Your personal space is basically a cat magnet.

Cats don’t care about your boundaries — only about theirs.

So tell us…

*Not scientifically proven. Just emotionally confirmed by cat people everywhere.

Make way — royalty has been spotted lounging on a floral throne.

#5 Cat of the Week: The Dinner Diva 🐾

This week’s star isn’t just a pretty face - she’s a calendar queen. Meet Miss Autumn, who just turned 5 and is living proof that once a feral kitten, always a boss at heart. These days, she’s an indoor lovebug with one non-negotiable rule: dinner must be served on time.

The look? Regal. The voice? Unmistakably insistent. The vibe? Equal parts cuddle and command. Autumn has perfected the art of reminding her humans that in the great household hierarchy, cats don’t just sit at the table - they set the schedule.

Here’s to Miss Autumn: forever fabulous, forever punctual and forever proving that the real chaos starts when the food bowl isn’t filled. 💜🐾

📸 Spotted in the FTL Group, thanks to Misty Stilley Avery. This little scene proves once again: cats don’t just live in the house, they run it.

Chaos, you sent, chaos we cherish.

#6 Paw-spectives from Last Week

We asked: How does your cat greet you? And the results were a tie - turns out cats have very different approaches to making their grand entrance.

👑 The Social Butterflies: “Chirps/meows like they’re catching up on gossip” (36%) - Because clearly, you missed a full news cycle while you were gone.

👀 The Silent Watchers: “A silent stare from across the room” (36%) - No meows, no purrs… just judgment from afar. Respect the stare.

🐍 The Tail Wrappers: “Tail wrap around your leg” (21%) - Equal parts affection and low-key possession. Congratulations, you’re owned.

😹 Barely in the Race: “Full body flop at your feet” (7%) - The drama queens of greetings. Subtlety? Never heard of it.

💡 Moral of the story: Whether they’re loud, quiet, clingy, or theatrical, cats have mastered the art of entrances - and we’re just their audience.

#7 Purr-fessional Care: Budget-Friendly Litter That Works 🐾

Why it matters: 

A good litter isn’t just about odor control - it’s about keeping your cat comfortable and your home fresh without breaking the bank. Choosing the right one can make scooping easier, reduce dust in the air and cut down on those little pawprint trails across the floor.

What to do:

Choose Dr. Elsey’s Ultra Cat Litter - 99% dust-free, low tracking and unscented

Scoop daily to keep clumps from hardening and odors from building

Replace the litter box regularly to keep it fresh and inviting

What to avoid:

Strongly perfumed litters (many cats dislike heavy scents)

Ignoring the box for too long - even the best litter can’t hide neglect

Letting clumps sit - they’ll cement to the box and make cleaning harder

💡 Pro Tip: Clean the litter box itself with mild soap and water at least once a week. Fresh litter in a dirty box is like perfume on gym socks - it doesn’t fix the problem.

That’s all for this week’s tails, fur-iend!  

Thanks for reading - I hope I brought some smiles to your face! Stay pawsome, and I’ll catch you in the next issue!
