I Have a New Favorite Cat, and It’s Not Even Real — Meet Nyanpire
You guys, I know that yesterday Liana introduced you to the adorable kitten who darts around two apples like it’s Source Code and she’s Jake Gyllenhaal defusing the bomb — but I have another precious cat for you. The only problem is, you can never meet her in real-life because a) he’s animated, and b) she’s a vampire. Her name is Nyanpire. More »
The eHarmony Cat Lover Sings with Nyan Cat in “Can’t Hug Every Cat”
It’s Friday. Maybe you were gonna crank Rebecca Black to get you closer to the weekend. And while we at Crushable advocate weekly (daily) “Friday” dance parties, there’s always room in our repertoire for an equally absurd song. Remember Debbie, the very emotional woman whose video ad for eHarmony devolved into blubbering praise of felines? I’m still convinced it’s fake, but when The Gregory Brothers autotuned and backed it up with a cat band, its brilliance is tripled. It just makes me so –
[sniff] I’m sorry, I’m thinking about cats again. More »

YouTube Removes Nyan Cat Video, But Not Before Including a Cute Nyan Cat Slider Bar
Thank God I snapped this screenshot yesterday, because YouTube has pulled the original Nyan Cat video! Just like with Rebecca Black‘s “Friday” video, this came out of nowhere. People thought that it was prguitarman, creator of the original Pop-Tart Cat that was then mixed with a high-pitched Japanese pop song to create this amazing meme. But prguitarman has vehemently denied that he filed the copyright claim, in the best way he knows how: through an illustration. More »

Sunday Cute: Mama Cat Hugs Nightmare-Having Kitten
A mama cat and her kitten curling up together as they both snooze is cute enough and of itself; but when the kitten starts to have a little kitten nightmare, prompting the mama cat to give her baby a big ol’ reassuring snuggle-hug? Cutest. Thing. EVER.
Happy Sunday! More »
Internet Meme Fashion: You Can Own the Nyan Cat Scarf!
I resisted following the Nyan Cat/Pop-Tart Cat meme for about a month, since I didn’t understand the cuteness involved in a cat attached to a cherry Pop-Tart flying through space, set to a loop of high-pitched Japanese music. (Yes, the Internet is surreal.) Then I saw this scarf (by MasterPlanner on deviantART), and I’m sort of in love. Aside from the sheer color, look at the adorable cat! More »

Superchunk’s New Music Video Is Brilliant, Has Cats
We don’t want to ruin the concept for you, but suffice it to say that (our favorite band) Superchunk’s video for “Crossed Wires” is a work of genius. It tells a hilarious, compact story that works on all levels — plus it involves cats. Music industry: more of these things, please. More »

Am I Right Ladies? A Fancy Feast of Love
If you love your cat so much, why don’t you marry it? Let’s face it single girls, we’ve all seriously considered this question at one lonely moment or other. I actually once tried to file for a marriage license at the courthouse, but couldn’t even get past security. I guess this right wing world we live in can’t resist putting a leash on love, amirightladies? More »

Hot Shot: James Franco Plus Kittens
See? We told you James Franco‘s Twitter would pan out to be a source of amazingness. The actor/writer/artist/musician/professor tweeted this photo of himself catching some Zs with a pair of cuddly kittens. The caption? “Cat nap” of course. Also we assume James is reading his own book. Right? More »
Crushable’s Cat Lady: Men Are Dogs Unless They’re Cats
Dear Cat Lady;
I have a huge crush on a boy from school. I thought that he didn’t have any idea that I existed, but my friends dared me to friend him on Facebook. It took him more than two weeks to accept the request, and now he’s behaving so weirdly. He’ll do nothing for a week, and then “like” all of my pictures, and then nothing for another week, after which he’ll leave ten posts in a row on my wall. What is the deal with this guy?
Please help –

Crushable’s Cat Lady: Cat Stare Your Way To The Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift
Dear Cat Lady,
I’m sending you a picture of my kitten, Fazoola, dressed up as a heart (complete with pumping blood!), because Valentine’s Day is coming up… and I have Valentine’s Day problems (besides all the fake blood staining my couch). I looked at my boyfriend’s browser history, and all Google-shopping-signs point to him planning to celebrate our love by buying me… a blender. A blender! It’s like he has some sick fantasy of me whipping up his protein powders in the morning – but let me tell you, I have more self-respect than that. How can I convince me to buy him something that I actually want?
Help!
Not Willing to Whip It
Dear Whip It,
Have you ever seen a cat get its way? Say, for example, that you’ve hidden its favorite catnip chew toy on top of the refrigerator. Does the cat whine in front of the fridge, making pathetic, futile jumps up towards the inaccessible place, as if it’s the refrigerator’s fault, not yours, that the toy is out of reach? No way – that type of behavior is strictly for the dogs. More »
