This Just In: Cat Swims, Steals Hearts, Gets Adopted.

Your weekly dose of chaos, catitude, and care.

🐾 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

Thick Nugget’s Big Splash

Meet Thick Nugget — a 30-pound chonk who became the first-ever feline to join a Canine Aquatic Center in Indiana. Yep, you read that right. Dogs? Everywhere. Thick Nugget? Unbothered. Floating like royalty. 😼💦

Under the guidance of his cat swim coaches (because obviously), Thick Nugget started his water workouts to shed a few pounds. Two half-hour sessions a week of dog-paddling — except, cat-style. He even started transforming into what his fans now call the "Slender Tender."

After dropping his first 5 pounds, he hit a plateau (relatable), so off he went to Foster Boot Camp for more room to stretch, sass, and sprint. And guess what? He didn't just lose weight — he gained a forever home. His foster mom fell for him hard and made it official.

From splash zone to snuggle zone, Thick Nugget is now living his best life, one paw-lunge at a time. 🐾💧

#2 Meme of the Week

It’s Tuesday. You’ve blinked once, aged five years, and your cat is silently judging you from across the room.

Sound familiar?

This meme hit way too close to home — and we’re obsessed.

Don’t worry, we’d still let him judge us forever.

🐱 Think your cat has the chaos to claim the meme throne?
Drop your wildest, weirdest, or most iconic cat meme below — the next viral royalty might just be living in your camera roll. 👑🐾

Make it fierce, funny, or full-on feral. We’re here for all of it.

We’re not saying this was drawn from experience… but it was.

#3 Cat Cartoon of the Week

It’s giving chaos. It’s giving routine. It’s giving 4:00 AM drama.

#4 Poll Meow-ment: Emotional Range? Oscar-Worthy.

Feline Fact: Your cat doesn’t just have moods — they have a moodboard. And yes, you're featured on it daily.

From zoomies to glares to sudden affection (on their terms, of course), cats are emotional shapeshifters. They're not unpredictable — just vibing with whatever personality they’ve assigned to the hour.

🧠 Science calls it feline behavior.
😵‍💫 We call it a full-time job.

🐱 So, tell us:

Which of these cat moods do you deal with daily?

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

#5 Cat of the Week: Chaus

Chaus isn’t just lounging — he’s serving. From the leopard-print blanket to the effortless pose, this tabby knows how to rule the room (and our hearts) with style. 👑

📸 Spotted in the FTL Group, thanks to Diane Herz.
We don’t know who runs the house — but based on the stare and the loaf form, we’re pretty sure it’s Chaus.

👑 Got a cat who lounges like royalty and side-eyes like it’s an artform?

Chaos, you sent, chaos we cherish.

#6 Paw-spectives from Last Week

We asked: What kind of cat mood do you deal with daily?
And the results are in: it’s a tie between Grumpy Royalty and Cuddle Bug (...on their terms). A duo no one can survive without treats.

👑 Winner(s):

  • Grumpy Royalty – Because apparently, you dared breathe in their presence.

  • Cuddle Bug (...on their terms) – Sweet one second, distant the next. It’s giving emotional roulette.

Each mood claimed 35.29% of the votes, which means one thing: your cats are running emotional side quests all day long.

📉 And in a shocking twist:

  • Zoomie Warrior came in third, proving some cats prefer chaos... but in sprints.

  • Chaos Gremlin came last — not because they’re rare, but because they’re too busy knocking things over to vote.

Moral of the story?
There is no predictable mood. Only vibe shifts. Prepare accordingly (and maybe don’t wear black).

Got a new poll idea? Drop it in the Group — we’re always watching (with snacks and judgment). 🍿🐾

A tip for keeping your chaos machine healthy.

#7 Purr-fessional Care

🧼 Fur-tastrophe? Sudden Shedding Might Not Be So Simple

Why it matters: While seasonal shedding is totally normal, sudden or excessive hair loss could be a sign of skin issues, allergies, or even parasites.

What to watch for:

  • Heavy shedding that feels sudden or non-seasonal

  • Bald patches or irritated skin

  • Excessive grooming or scratching

Prevention & care tips:

  • Use a deshedding brush weekly (it helps — and it’s oddly satisfying)

  • Keep bedding, furniture, and cat trees clean

  • Monitor diet for possible allergens (like chicken or grains)

  • Rule out fleas or mites if fur clumps start multiplying

🌟 Pro tip: If the fur pile starts to resemble a second cat… it might be time to call your vet. Better safe than furry.

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!
