And now for an expert opinion from Professor Cat.

WHY ARE YOU HITTING YOURSELF? WHY ARE YOU HITTING YOURSELF?

What, seriously? How about DON'T LET YOUR PET CATS OUTSIDE. That, or ACCEPT THAT YOUR OUTDOOR CAT FRIENDS ARE PREDATORS. "To stop Ursa's onslaught on animal-kind, Loewen took the advice of the UGA researchers and outfitted her naughty kitty with a cat bib and bell attachment (pictured below), effectively disabling any of Ursa's predatory prowess."

As it turns out, regular natural clay litter is made of the same kind of clay that is used in a lot of mud masks you'd pay tons of money for. This isn't going to help your crazy cat lady rep, but hey, nobody needs to know.

You’re in my heart But urine needs to stay inside the box

If we had to imagine our dream DIY project chances are it would involve Arduino, Twitter and, of course, cats. How we'd combine those things we're not sure, but we'll admit to being big fans of Samuel Cox's eSleeper, which turns a hollowed-out eMac into a bed for his feline. Inside the shell is an Arduino Ethernet connected to an IR sensor, some LEDs and a sound shield. When the cat breaks the infrared beam it triggers the iconic Mac chime and turns on a series color-shifting LEDs for a little mood lighting. From there the clock starts ticking. When little Fluffy (Captain Whiskers? Matlock? Penny? Greg?) decides she's had enough napping and leaves the white plastic cocoon, tripping the IR sensor again, a random phrase is tweeted, along with the length of the cat's siesta. Check out the video after the break to see the eSleeper in all its adorable DIY glory.

High on catnip, Jinx was convinced that Misty was a succulent sausage ripe for the taking.

@epuckett: "best way to herd cats is to move the food." right on gerhard klimeck #umci

Yay

"Nobody believed me, so I had to record it."

"This cat successfully figures out the least efficient way to drink from a faucet."

"Although we don't claim to understand it, a cat that has installed itself in a cardboard box is a happy cat. You can exploit this mysterious fact to make a your own simple corrugated cardboard cat bed like this one, designed as a kitty-sized chaise lounge. Since it's just cardboard, it's also easy to modify this basic design to suit your own (or your cat's) taste. "

"Yes. Yes I am the fluffiest kitty oh my gosh ever. And every day I learn how to make myself smarter and fluffier. I am the fluffy singularity."

"In this thread, the context starts with a pesky cat looped cartoon and ends with a discussion of non-attachment. What @mitten dubs the “kitteh paradox” after Brian defines the core issue – happiness is transitory if you are attached to a certain definition of happiness (cereal or sitting on the table)."

"Have a cat that won't stay off your counters? I do. I finally got fed up with it enough to do something about it: scare the crap out of him with a motion-detecting blender (while recording the results for my own amusement, of course)."

"Our furry raiders seem to enjoy the finer things of cat life."

"The Litter-Robot's patented litter sifting system cleans the litter gently, reliably and dependably, every time. There is no rake mechanism that can jam or gum up and that requires frequent cleaning. After all, you want a self cleaning litter box to make your life easier. And of course, the Litter-Robot is completely safe for your cat!"

"Pito wears a backpack and sits like a person on his owner's lap...and is so comfortable that he falls asleep that way."

"Abs of steel are so overrated!"

"For science, the next experiment will be “what do cats think of ball pits?”"

"sry, but purrito is no edibles."

"Not only is it seen by both Boswellist and Johnsonian interests as a crucial location for establishing territorial control in the kitchen-floor region, but it also makes a crumpling sound that both sides find irresistible."

"Here is our cat going for a walk"

"Apartment cats are limited in trophies."

"A cat is baffling his owner by wandering off at night before expecting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place."

"we have built a computer-controlled device that visually determines if Flo is carrying anything in her mouth when she enters, and if she does, it simply does not let her in."

"Two cute kittens playing, a third kitten comes in at the end for a "surprise" "

Cats. So many cats. I didn't think cats could swarm.

"Dear Perfect Stranger, I made you an e-card!"

"Ever had to give a cat an injection at home, for feline diabetes, maybe? Here's how to do it painlessly... both for you and the cat!"

Your cat goes into the spaceship-like ball to do his business, steps out, and his droppings automatically get turned into little red and yellow balls of delight.

"Would hate to see the water bill for this place."

"Cat hoovering (also Cat vacuuming) - 1. any excuse to avoid writing, even vacuuming the cat (Gerri); 2. A pointless exercise used to avoid real work."

"If she detects with her supersonic hearing that either of us is about to use the facilities, she will forget that she is arthritic (and probably asleep) fly up the stairs (or off the cat scratching contraption) and push her way into the bathroom in a ver

Kitten attacking the keyboard and screen of a MacBook Pro with spinny Front Row icons

"NASA has developed and manufactured a specially designed space cat suit for Charlie's imminent launch."

"If the speakers are close to the keyboard and aimed directly at it, these sounds will annoy most cats when they're on the keyboard."

""

"The Infinite Cat Project is a website of photos. Each photo shows a cat looking at a computer screen on which is a previous photo of a cat looking at a computer screen."

"As cat owners know, their feline friend would much rather chase and eat a live mouse than snack on the chocolate equivalent, and now researchers have discovered the reason – cats are simply unable to taste sweet things."

Very cool pictures of jumping cats

"I've been thinking of getting a temporary cat." Weird.

"A pleasant fellow expires." This made me cry.

"I am grateful that I can pull the bag off of his head. It's simple enough but it means the world to him."

"Do you Love Irish Drinking Songs? Are you a kitty cat lover fanatic?"

Heh, heh. I think this is a viable candidate for a buttered toast / cat array.

Our cats have been trying to perfect this nap technique since they first discovered closets.

"Caleb Grigson, a computer scientist with degrees in linguistics and animal behavior, attended the 2003 Cat Fancy show with the intent of marketing his new invention, a device that allows real-time translation both to and from cats."

I need to keep our cats from opening our freezer. Nothing like coming home to see all your food conveniently thawed.
