New cat friends in Nebraska!

My head web guy and personal photographer went to the Mother of all states - Nebraska! While I've not been to Nebraska personally - with all my responsibilities here in California coordinating Huskercat activities - this is an exciting opportunity for me to make new friends - or fans. They're more fans actually since I've not met them.  Regardless, these cats live in Lincoln, which, as you all probably know, is the home of Nebraska Football. 

This is another new fan - goes by the name Poppi. Poppi is an excessively affectionate girl cat.   

This is Cinder. He has an embarrassing story behind his name. His original name was Cinderella. The owners thought he was a girl cat, but when taken to the vet, they were told he's a boy cat. The name was adjusted to avoid providing him with the basis for much gender confusion as he grew up. 

Savanah, who is the "owner" of these two pusses, is seen here on the right. She is  having a discussion with a fellow competitor after the gunny sack finals in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday.

Sad Jack the Cat news .... :(

On September 11 (... that's weird ... 9/11... anyways) ... I posted about Jack the Cat who had been lost by American Airlines (how un-American of them, if you ask me).  So here it is, Christmas, a time of joy and I thought I'd check. Two months later Jack was found. He fell out of the ceiling by Customs! No kidding!

Jack was severely malnourished and he was also dehydrated (that means he hadn't had any water for a long time!)

Read about how Jack was found @ NY Times.


What happened next was he was emergency rushed to BluePearl hospital in Manhattan (a really high-class place).  He was treated by a team of cat specialists. They put a feeding tube in him, juiced him with intravenous fluids, antibiotics and Jack got an operation if some kind - details are sketchy on this.

So far ... so good. Or so you'ld think

Jack the Cat had gone for so long with no food or water that his organs were dysfunction and his skin was so thin that blood couldn't flow into it.  Despite all these efforts and love from his fans, 12 days after Jack crashed into Customs, Jack had to be put to sleep. American Airlines could have done more.  More details.

Huskercat Game Prediction!!

Nebraska 28 - Washington 21

That's right - it won't be easy tomorrow and the Huskers will have trouble with two drives but come away with field goals on both. 


The Huskies can suck on that!!


I'll have my web guy post some pics of me watching the game!

Scandal!! What's the problem with feral cats hanging out at the UN!!

This was a disturbing story of racism and discrimination. There is no reason why feral cats shouldn't be allowed to live at the UN. The UN better be careful or the feral cat attorneys will take them to International Court! Cats have rights. Sorry the thing plays a stupid commercial in the beginning.

TWO WEEKS!!!! WHERE'S JACK THE CAT???

American Airlines lost this ladies cat!!!!

Story here.  I tweeted about it  .... this is SAD!

PS - as a cat I deeply resent this whole "tweeted" business. Birds ... lame!

Big Win #2!! Fresno State goes down!

Hey Huskercat Fans!!

So today was the big day for game #2 with Fresno State. We never played them before. I don't know why, but it may have something to do with Fresno not actually being a state. The football rules specifically say that college teams have to be in the US of A and you don't need to be that worldly to know that the USA has 50 states and Fresno isn't one of them!

Note the empty bird feeder. If my owners knew what they were doing they would put some bird food in it for my entertainment and dining pleasure. Once I actually jumped from the ground and latched onto that bird feeder! That's like 5 feet (or 1.52 meters for my European friends).  The problem with that is you don't have a paw free to snatch a bird.

Going into Games #2 we are undefeated!! That sounds better than saying we've won 1 game.  Well ... 4pm rolled around and the game is starting. Time for me to perch myself in front of the TV.

To be honest the first half of this game really blew chunks. Sloppy tackles, fumble, lame passing for us and Fresno State played really good. Maybe you have to play this way if you're in the Big 10. I don't know. The people who run the Big 10 aren't very smart. If you count the number of teams in the Big 10 you'll come up with 12 assuming some basic numeric literacy. Twelve is not the same as 10 the last time I checked. 

Note the level of fan dissatisfaction. Nebraska fans are very civil when unhappy. Not like Colorado fans/cult members who throw bottles and snowballs when they get unhappy.  Colorado fans are evolutionarily speaking just one missing link more advanced than chimpanzees who like to throw poop. Evolution is science so this has to be correct. 

At half-time I got pretty hungry!

Off to the Friskies bowl. For the record, I didn't ignore the Nebraska Cheerleaders. 

Football action caught in midair! It would have been really exciting had our player actually caught the ball!  This wasn't a good omen (not that I believe in omens!).

The coach must have said something pretty convincing because the Huskers turned things around in the second half!  42 - 29 is how it turned out with us getting the 42.  I hope the coach tells them his little pep talk at the beginning of the next game rather than waiting around like he did this time! 

I accurately predicted a touchdown at this point in the game!

So we won!  Yea for us!! 2 - 0, pretty good. But our guys better figure out the problems before next week.  Home field advantage isn't going to carry the day against Washington (named after the first President of the USA). 

My Birthday Party!!! I'm THREE!

There was quite a bit of celebration around here this weekend with it being my birthday and all. Actually my birthday was last week but the powers to be around here seem to have some priority problems.

They got me a cake - marble with white frosting! That would be great if I even liked cake! I sniffed it and it didn't seem to have the yummy odors that I would expect for food fit for a VIP cat such as myself. I'll have Friskies send them the memo. I did get a new container of Kosmic Catnip. That's first class stuff.

This is also my 1 year anniversary of living here and being the Huskercat! A year ago I was rescued from the Pet Adoption Center (PAC). I don't know why they call it "rescued" - it's really not an appropriate term. It's not like it's a concentration camp or something! It's also called the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center which is better because it sounds more fancy. I don't know who Mary Roberts is but it doesn't sound like a cat name which is what the center should be named for. That would be a good excuse to get rid of the dogs!! HA!  So on my birthday I'll give a shoutout to my fostermom at the PAC, Jill Coleman. Things are cool here! 

They hired some pretty fancy help for my birthday!

Cake!! It was a nice thing to do. I guess symbolic of all the love felt for me by the owners.  OR MAYBE THEY JUST LIKE CAKE - I feel so used!

At least one of us is having fun!!
I gotta say ... it was a weird birthday party!
