Quote: “I love the smell of catnip in the morning.”
ALERT! ALERT! We have our first kitten paw. I repeat: We have our first kitten paw. And just look at those beautiful toe beans! Looks at the graceful way Sir Prance-A-Lot lifts his paw to stroke the camera. Of course, we’re not surprised that Sir Prance possesses such sweet moves. It’s just that when someone walks in with a pretty cute cat and an opportunity to adopt, we get sprung. (If you didn’t automatically rap that to “Baby Got Back“, you’ve learned nothing. Also, the springing is a metaphor. At least for us.)

Quote: “You cat handle the truth!”
It appears as though the North Shore Bengals do not have a head coach at the moment. Instead, they’re led by two accomplished quartercats. In addition to being a kitten quartercat, Furry Bradshaw also wrote several novels and maintains a column about tuna and toys in New York City. Furry’s best friends are Miranda McKitten Knobs, Samantha Feline Phones, and Charlotte Pork Chops, a friend of our own North Shore Bengals’ Box Guard.
