The Meaning of Meow
Someone wrote a PhD dissertation on how well humans can understand cats’ meows. Read about Dr. Nicolas Nicastro’s findings, which compared cat owners with non-cat owners, and how we cats use different acoustical qualities in our meows.

My Home
In case you don’t know, I’m the Library Cat at the Independence Public Library in Kansas. Thanks to me the library was named the 2012 Best Small Library in America! Actually, all the nice people that work here had something to do with it, too.

Trixie’s Bookshelf: Cat Yoga
Look at the cats in a book called Cat Yoga: Fitness and Flexibility For the Modern Feline. While my exercise consists of chasing a ball up and down the stairs, these cats are doing stuff like Tiryaka Tadasana and Arda Ushtrasana! (Note: the book is not serious – cats can’t really do yoga. I hope you realized that already.)
