Makes Sense

While it seems unlikely, it makes sense that the two would get along. The horse has no problem allowing kitty to be alpha and cats tend to be of the fearless sort.

A Strange Duo

If you liked these you’ll love Even Cats Love Horses which features a bunch of fantastic images of this unlikely pair.

Quick Education

All of the colors & patterns are based on a few basic solid colors, from there a variety of patterns & dilutions can be displayed. Today we are looking at pointed animals which don’t just come in solid colors, tabbies can be pointed too.

Pointed animals are bright cream with colored (or patterned) face, feet & tail. We stuck to the basic solid colors here.

A Whole Rainbow

Until we got started we had no idea cats came in such a rainbow of colors. If you enjoyed this be sure to check out solid cat colors, bi-colored cats and tabby patterns & colors (both classic & spotted).

Does Cat Hair Make it Taste Better?

We’re not so sure about our furry cat hanging out on kitchen counters (have you seen how they shed?) but we like the idea of kitty accents. Every idea below was hand selected by us for their usefulness & unique character. For each item we’ve added a link to where they can be found on Amazon and a closer look where available.

We’re arming you with enough kitchen kitty to make your friends think you are a little cat crazy.

More Kitty

We like to shop so it makes sense that we’d share our shopping prowess with our cat-loving readers. Be sure to check out cats in the kitchen, Hello Kitchen & even some general gifts for cat lovers.

Worldwide Mail

It’s fun to see how different (or similar) the stamps are between different countries. Needless to say Germany & Azerbaijan probably take the lead for the most kitty stamps (although Moldova is up there too). We expected to find lions & tigers & other big cats on more stamps, but to our surprise domestic cat seems to be a popular subject.

Celebrating the art of cats on a global scale, even better this art can be sent (or received) anywhere in the world too.

And So It Ends…

This is the sad end of our stamp collection, although we promise to keep our eyes out for them every time we visit the mailbox. Be sure to check out part 1 & part 2 while you’re here!

Although not many people have seen one in the flesh, Siamese cats are among the most distinguishable breeds on the planet. Their sleek profile simply looks fit for a king.

Thai Natives

This breed comes from the kingdom Siam (which is now called Thailand) where they are thought to descend from sacred temple cats. They are a legendary symbol of good luck & thought to ward off evil spirits which meant their aristocratic profile only graced temples and the homes of the royalty.

An Interesting Twist

Today there are two types of the breed, one the traditional Siamese with an apple shaped head and a robust build and the modern animal with a triangular head and a lithe, slender body.

Whether it’s an old or new type, the Siamese has eyes of the most arresting shade of blue.

Those Peepers

Although it used to be common to find this breed with crossed eyes, it’s probably not a natural trait. Today it’s discouraged by most breeders and their appearance is rarer.

The Siamese is an incredibly vocal & intelligent animal that is known for their affectionate (& sometimes demanding) attitude. They expect their people to keep them entertained.

A Colorful Breed

Although there are two types, just because a cat carries the traditional point coloring doesn’t make it a Siamese. Crossed with other animals, this distinct coloration can be passed along to impure bloodlines. The Seal point coloring is perhaps the most recognized coloration and is accepted in several diluted varieties as well.

Ancient Cats

We’ve got more ancient cat breed profiles on the way. For now, why not learn more about the ancient Abyssinian, the British Shorthair, Korat, Persian & the Egyptian Mau breeds?

Wait For It…

Ok, we know it starts slow, but this sneaky cat is worth the wait. Anyone who says that cat’s don’t have a sense of humor is sorely mistaken and has clearly never met one.

Silly Cats

When it comes to cats, most of it has been done to death online so we try to bring you unique and interesting stuff. Even if you’ve seen it we hope most of it will be worth a second glance. If you want more silly cats check out a series of cat ads set to the Swordfish soundtrack or our latest hero the scuba diving cat.

Read About Cats Anywhere

Because we want our readers to be able to enjoy cats anywhere they go we’ve added Felinest blog to their service for those who prefer it. The Kindle device allows users to browse and wirelessly download hundreds of thousands of titles…not to mention the over 1.8 million out-of-copyright books that can be downloaded free of charge.

Pssst…You Don’t Always Need The Device

Many of us more tech-minded people carry around more gadgets than we know what to do with & that makes Kindle books even cooler. If you have a computer (Mac or PC), iPhone, iPad, Android or Blackberry you can read on them as well, syncing is easy and saves your place too.

Get Felinest on Kindle

If you are a Kindle user – or plan to be shortly we hope you’ll grab Felinest Kindle blog before you head over to the free book directories…you’ll be lost there for hours!

Photographers have long been fascinated with the feline form, it’s sleek & perfectly suited as a predator. Domestic cat is an even larger enigma, how is this perfect predator now content to sit on our laps, get fat & purr?

Up Close & Personal

So we wanted to take a closer look at each part that makes up the whole animal. We’ve already featured close ups of their mesmerizing (& sometimes scary) eyes, the strange comb that is their tongue & now it’s time for their pert little ears. Although cute from a distance, their ears take on a life of their own when you take a macro look at them. Thanks to the photographers who had to be pretty close to capture these fantastic shots.

Up close their fuzzy ears become almost an alien landscape with veins, whiskers, caverns & hollows.

Body Parts

While we love the cat as a whole, they are a lot more interesting when you break them down and scrutinize their parts. If you like these freaky shots be sure to check out some up close peepers and freaky tongues.

That Said

We ran around to find some of the coolest leopard ideas, accessories & gifts we could find. While we don’t recommend using them all at once (at least not all in the same room) they make fantastic & exotic accents to almost any decor. Every print idea below was hand selected by us for their sheer cool factor. For each item we’ve added a link to where they can be found on Amazon and a closer look where available.

The idea is to go for the right amount of subtlety & class, not to cover yourself in spots. The right piece can bring some jungle to your space.

Not into Spots?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered (in fake fur) & we won’t ever forget those beautiful tiger stripes. We’ve even found some fantastic cheetah print items to share. If it’s the smaller cats that get you going be sure to check out some great gift ideas for cat lovers.

Quick Education

All of the colors & patterns are based on a few basic solid colors, from there a variety of patterns & dilutions can be displayed. Today we are taking a look at bi-colored cats which always show spots of white & one other color (or pattern).

There are five basic colors, black, red, blue, cream & brown. Here are examples of each bi-colored one (one or two of them are tabby’s too).

We Love Them All

There is something about the contrast of bright white and a splash of a rich color, we simply can’t pic a fave. If you want to learn more about cat coloring be sure to check out solid cat colors and tabby patterns & colors (both classic & spotted).
