Oska the British Shorthair Cat, snoring madly

Oh, I wish I could sleep this soundly!

Follow link here for more information about the breed, and some great pictures.

A few snippets:

~~It could be said that the British Shorthair Cat is as natural a breed as is possible today in that all registered breeds are now subject to human intervention. The breed originates from the British Domestic Shorthair or British Moggie, which has an extremely long history. Through selective breeding from the late 1800s the Moggie was transformed into a recognized breed; the British Shorthair. ~~

~~The British Shorthair today looks very similar to the English cat of 110 years ago. ~~

~~According to this website's (POC) long standing popularity poll the British Shorthair is one of the most popular ranking around 6th out of about 70 cat breeds.~~

You can take the poll here. My vote of course is for the Maine coon, but then I'm biased. :)

    Hi VG, I loved this video. Very well chosen. It made me laugh. I love it when cats behave like this. It shows they are really beautiful companions with all the little foibles of humans.

    You've got a nice site VG - well done. And I think it is starting to be noticed a bit too.

    Hi Matt-

    Tootsie doesn't snore, but if she did, I could probably tune it out.

    It's harder to ignore her when she walks back and forth on my head!

Is Cartoon Cat a creepypasta?

One person answers the question on a forum website and they say that Cartoon Cat is not a creepypasta. Yes, there was one answer to the question. Now there are two!! What is creepypasta? Who is Cartoon Cat? As I understand it, "creepypasta" is a sort of slick, hip but misleading description for unnerving stories posted on the Internet designed to shock people.  It seems to me that the scary Cartoon Cat could be involved in a creepypasta story. His whole reason for existing is to scare people and create creepypasta so I disagree with the guy who says that Cartoon Cat is not creepypasta.  I think I see the point, though. The individual character called Cartoon Cat is not creepypasta because he is an individual. However, he can be involved in creepypasta horror stories because that's his purpose in life. Phew, I think I've got that out of the way. Cartoon Cat. Photo: Fandom.com It is a bit surprising because when I went onto the search engine Bing looking for "ca...
