Sad news

GRUMPY CAT, international nternet star, died May 14, 2019 from complications of a urinary tract infection. She was 7 years old.

Grumpy Cat’s real name was Tardar Sauce. She lived in Morristown, Arizona with her family, the Bundesens.

A statement released by the family said, “She passed away peacefully, at home in the arms of her mommy, Tabatha.”

Grumpy Cat developed her distinct “grumpy” expression due to an underbite and feline dwarfism. This condition is either intentionally bred into the cat or is caused genectically by an underactive pituitary gland.

who is Yuumi the Magical Cat

Yuumi the Magical Cat is a new super character in League of Legends. She’s the 144th champion in the League. Yuumi is a kitten who rides on top of a book and has magical powers.

Yuumi’s powers as explained by Riot Games

Yuumi fires a missile, dealing damge to the first target hit. It deals bonus damage and slows if it takes at least 1 second to get to its target.  While Attached, the missile can be controlled with your cursor.

Yuumi’s quest is said to be searching for her master. That’s why she’s on the go.

note: Master? Seriously? Did the designers ever know any cat, ever?

Yuumi’s abilities are all AP (Acess Point) based.

  • Yuumi’s Q is a missile that deals damage the longer it travels
  • The W allows them to dash to allied champions.
  • The E ability heals and gives you additional movement speed
  • Yuumi’s ultimate use is the power of its book to blast enemies with waves of magic damage.

a final note: I don’t get any of this. Do you?

 

find Leo the Lion in the sky

Hey look! There’s a cat in the sky! Actually, it’s a big cat, a lion of stars named Leo. So how to

find Leo the Lion in the sky

Look up: there you can see Leo the Lion in the sky. That’s because Leo becomes visible in the northern hemisphere late March through May. Leo is a constellation that does kind of suggest a lion. Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac and represents those born July 22 to August 22

 

 

 

 

The easiest way to find Leo is to first find the distinctive Big Dipper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the Big Dipper ‘pointer’ stars. Those are the two stars that define the outer edge of the bowl of the Dipper.

Those two stars, Dubhe and Merak, point to Polaris (the Northern Star).

Follow Dubhe and Merak in the opposite direction, from Merak at the bottom of the bowl, and it’ll lead to Leo.

The head of the lion looks like a “sickle” comprised of the stars Regulus, Al Jabbah, and Algieba, together with fainter stars.
Algeiba, Arabic for ‘the lion’s mane,’ is the brightest star in the curve of the sickle.
A triangle of stars forms the lion’s backside. The brightest star is Denebola, which means “tail of the lion.”
Go find Leo the Lion in the sky.

what about cats and drinking water

what about cats and drinking water

Cats need water! Not for swimming, unless you have a Turkish Van (they love to swim) but because cats need to drink fresh water. I’m assuming (if you have cats) that you already know this. They don’t need the quantities humans need, but still, they need some. In the wild, cats don’t have bowls of fresh water replenished every day. Instead, they may find ponds or rivers and drink from there. But that’s not their main source of water. How wild cats get their water is from the moisture in their prey. Kinda disgusting, but true.

For my cats I try to simulate their carnivores preference. They get a dollop of canned cat food for breakfast, the remainder for dinner. I add fresh, filtered water to each of their canned food meals.

it’s enough water to mix with the wet food and form gravy. They love it and ALWAYS lap it up, even if they might not be fans of the canned food served.

Apparently my cats aren’t the only ones who like gravy.

Over the years cat food companies  Have added gravy to some of their canned meals. They even sell packets of gravy. I still add water, albeit less, to the cans that have gravy included in the label.

But don’t forget, our domesticated cats still need a bowl of fresh water, replenished every day.

a Hello Kitty movie – does she speak?

Hello Kitty movie

Well that’s exciting. OK, maybe “exciting” is a bit extreme. But it sure is interesting. Hello Kitty doesn’t have a mouth, so we wondered,
a Hello Kitty movie – does she speak?

The movie deal

Sanrio Corporation of Tokyo have owned Hello Kitty since 1974. By 2010, she was worth $6 billion a year. By 2014, her worth increased to $8 billion. She’s on over 50,000 different products in over 130 countries. But there’s never been a Hello Kitty movie released worldwide.

Warner Brothers and New Line producer Beau Flynn said it took five years to make a deal with the Sanrio Corporation. Sanrio founder Shintaro Tsuji, CEO said “I am extremely pleased that Hello Kitty and other popular Sanrio characters will be making their Hollywood debut. Hello Kitty has been a symbol of friendship and we hope this film will only serve to grow that circle of friendship around the world.” The creator of Hello Kitty, Yuko Shimizu adds that “she speaks from the heart.” The friendship angle is the explanation for why Hello Kitty has no mouth. Having no mouth means she can’t speak, which created a brilliant marketing tool for making Hello Kitty universal and allowing people to project their own feelings onto her.


Hello Kitty is a permenant 3rd-grade student who lives outside London. November 1, 2014 was the 40th anniversary of Hello Kiity and her twin sister Mimmy.
In 2018 Sanrio announced that November 1 is Hello Kitty and Mimmy’s birthday. Coincidentally, November 1 is also the birthday of creator Y?ko Shimizu.

 

Richard Brener, President and Chief Creative Officer, and Carolyn Blackwood, President and Chief Content Officer of New Line Cinema, said in a joint statement:
“We are thrilled to partner with Sanrio and FlynnPictureCo. on developing a film based on this treasured icon. It’s a rare privilege to have the opportunity to explore the possibilities of such timeless IP. Hello Kitty and her friends have been part of our shared culture for decades, and we look forward to exploring where her newest adventure will take her.”

The debate on whether Hello Kitty is a cat or not is apparently still undecided for some people, despite her cat ears and whiskers. Christine Yano, the curator of a 2014 Hello Kitty exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, said Sanrio vehemently insisted “She’s a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She is never depicted on all fours.”

 

Felix the Cat was never seen on all fours either.
