Let’s repeat the Chant of the Carnival of the Cats, shall we?
The Carnival of the Cats is a weekly roundup of cat-related posts on weblogs. Its purpose is to provide a non-political respite from the vehement echo chamber that the Blogopshere spins itself into during the week, demonstrating that even the mightiest and meekest of pundits have a love of cats in common.
Before we begin, Nardo has a message for Frisky:
“IM UN UR KITTYCAVE,
THINKIN OF LIZRDS”
Thank you, Nardo.
Let’s begin the one hundred and sixty-fourth Carnival of the Cats.

Sometimes having the same mother means so little in how you appear to the world I guess all that matters is what’s in your heart.
Don’t tell me… well, head there and see the rest of the video montage.
Birdsong is just pre-dinner music to a pair of crafty cats.
How To Hold A Cat Without Losing An Eye is new to me, so I’m going to check out their stories and advice. Maybe I’ll learn how to get Nardo to stop thinking of new ways to torture Frisky.
If you’re looking for a new way to nap, Frank is performing a few belly-up experiments.
Thinking about getting a plant for your mother today? Well, Mew thinks it’s a scratching post.
Remember Basil the Rat from Fawlty Towers? Well, each and every Basil gets a drool-mark of approval.
Do they deliver flowers to the Fortress of Kittytude? What’s the ZIP Code there?
Just because it’s Mothers Day, don’t forget about the Mancat in your family. (Or the soon-to-be Mancat)
I remember a song about a homeroomangel, but apparently Porch Kitty Angel went and got herself all mothery with four kittens.

Indigo has gone into hiding, but a clever human with a camera can hunt down any prey. Especially with Amber’s help.

Have you give your mom a hug today?
Lobsters are in the pot and Tiny is all up-opns a poor catnip toy’s face on the countertop.
The ultimate catblogging mother, Ritzi the Psychokitty hates her kittens. No wonder why Bazel has issues, eh? (just kidding… it’s Meowza with the issues.)
