Review: Life from a Cat's Perspective
Jun/07 Filed in: Cats perspective
This winner of a MyBlogLog Sunday review is a clever twist on a cat lover's blog, as it is written by the cats themselves. So, dispensing with the human element, without further ado, who are Tigger and Samantha, your hosts?
In a very short time, less than 3 months, the frantic kitties have taken time off from mousing and logged up nearly 100 posts, attracting quite a few comments to each post along the way. (For grins, guess when post number 100 is due)
In terms of length and depth, the posts themselves are more scratch and catchy than Tolstoy, but they are definitely 100% in the vein of cats: blogging when they feel like it, rubbing up close to their niche and making contented remarks to a potentially enormous target audience.
Another positive is the content in the sidebar. Cat profiles, cat related blog roll, Carnival of the Cats, Kat's Cat of the Day badge (although the animal does resemble a rat at first glance!) Cats helping Cats and so on & on. If you are into cats, this looks like a useful directory.
Personally I am not an über cat fanatic, my love for the beasts having been tainted by a couple of animals that have been systematically spoiling my favorite jacket, but I don't bear grudges, and don't impose my will on anyone else either. For instance, this isn't my blog topic of choice, but I put Mrs Ed onto it and she digs it and has enjoyed browsing the blog, probably more frequently than she reads the Pisstakers, goddammit.
One minor criticism is that the webmaster fine tuning the pussy cats' blogging platform needs to nail the art of linking images in the side bar. I noticed the Potato blog review image plus others have a separate text link? Or is that a cat tactic to draw atttention to certain logos?
To summarize, the meme-heavy content is light reading and the photos are cutesy cat shots that definitely cater to feline fans. As long as they live and mew, the two furry bloggers will have plenty to offer.
And as a fitting end to this review, the owner of the two star cats offers an ear to anyone with a family member suffering from Alzheimers. A nice human touch from the top of the tree.

The bloggers
Samantha is a black Tuxedo Cat, four years old (28 in cat years), very cute, very opinionated and knows much more than an ordinary feline. Tigger is a "Mancat", a 7 year old grey and orange tabby. The blogging pussies live together with their owner in Florida, near the beach, no less.

Sidebar content makes me purr
Ed's choice?
