Cameron Simcik — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 19:13:23 +0000

Spangles is a darn cute cat. He has a beautiful shade of gray fur, which makes him a stud in the feline world. But the fact that he has crossed eyes, well…that just instantly hooked us.

Bodega Cats Get the Nature Documentary Treatment in Clever Spoof [VIDEO]

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:09:26 +0000

Bodega cats are something of an urban phenomenon; half-feral, half-domesticated felines whose natural habitats are independently-operated convenience stores and delis.
