Waltzing Matilda: The Famous Algonquin Cat

by Laurie Kay Olson

The historic Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan is best known for the Algonquin Round Table -- a daily gathering of journalists, actors, authors, and publicists beginning in 1919. For ten years the "Vicious Circle" met to exchange ideas and barbs. A few years later a battered stray cat waltzed through the front door to establish himself as the resident cat. The hotel has had a cat in residence ever since.

Not A Stephen King Novel: Cimetière Des Chiens Et Autres Animaux Domestiques

A Live Cat Lounging In Cimetière des Chiens et Autres Animaux Domestiques

by Laurie Kay Olson

A cemetery may not seem like the greatest tourist attraction to some people, but the Cimetière des Chiens et Autres Animaux Domestiques in Paris is the largest pet cemetery in the world. It is not something out of a Stephen King novel either, but a charming combination of natural beauty and monuments honoring the dearly departed. It is a place where history resides, as well as a number of live cats.

Evolutionary Twist Of Fate Allows Cats To Swim [Video]

Evolutionary Twist Of Fate When Cats Learned To Swim [Videos]

by Ron Callari

If you've ever been a cat owner, you know that felines abhor all things associated with H₂0. Differing from dogs, it appears their DNA gave them the gene that says cats don't mix with water. However, with seventy-five percent of the planet covered with water, it appears certain habitats would require some cats to acquire aquatic skills to include -- of all things -- the doggie-paddle!

The Cat Man And His Flying Cats

Dominique LeFort, The Catman And One Of His Flying House Cats

by Laurie Kay Olson

If you find yourself heading down to Key West on vacation there is something you have just got to see -- The Catman and his Flying House Cats. They perform for the crowds each night at sunset. Contrary to what just about everyone will tell you about cats, they CAN be trained to do all sorts of things. For Dominique LeFort they will literally jump through hoops -- even if the hoops are on fire.
