\"\"Today should be termed Eclectic Friday because I have a variety of interesting things to share. First, I finally got a picture of Lily bringing me a toy. I think some of you know I\u2019ve been trying to get a decent shot of her carrying one of her stuffed animals in her mouth for years, but she\u2019s sly and stealth, as if moving her toys around is a secret mission. But today I scored. I actually captured her in two photos. This morning, she\u2019d already brought me her toy lion, baby moose, little hedgehog, and baby bunny. And I missed the shot each time. Finally, when she vocalized her arrival with her little turtle, I grabbed my phone in time and got this too-close, fuzzy shot. I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes when a few minutes later, here she comes with her little stuffed possum. I think her ploy this morning was to make a trade\u2014her toys for my lap, because right now she is making bread in my lap as we speak.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s quite a girl. But I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll ever be famous for her stealth behavior. There are \"\"many famous cats, however and I found a list of them\u2014some of them record holders. Here, you\u2019ll see listed the fattest, oldest, heaviest, and the cat with the loudest purr. You\u2019ll learn about famous cats in literature, on the Internet, in films and more. There\u2019s even a French cat who was launched into space and returned to earth using a parachute. Wow!<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019d also like to share a site focused on a cat who comforts vets.<\/p>\n

There are some pretty amazing cats out there and who knows, maybe Lily will someday hold the record for the most stuffed toys\u2014her basket is overflowing as we speak.<\/p>\n
