The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov

The greatest cat in all of literature might just be Behemoth, the gun-crazy, vodka-swilling, wisecracking feline — a kind of cracked Puss-in-Boots — that pals around with Satan in the 1930s Moscow of Bulgakov’s classic. He’s also, as his name suggests, rather enormous. And he won’t let you forget it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A whole new Catwalk

Don’t forget your cat when you’re renovating. ViralNova gives us this great story about a German company  Goldtatze.de that makes fantastical “cat heavens” for cats here on earth. Everyone has a granite counter top but a cat heaven that’s too cool for kitty school!

 

Walk like a video cat

Samantha Grossman at time.com tells us about a new video game where humans pretend to be cats. The game seems rather simplistic, but then what do you expect from humans? If you want enlightened cat culture read Sweet Little Black Kitty Collected Poems. If you want to knock things down like a cathole read on.

Obviously being a cat would be the best thing ever: your life would revolve around napping, rubbing up against people because you think they’re giant cats, and jumping up on shelves and knocking things over. Some beautiful genius has taken that last part of the equation and turned it into a video game that you can play online.

The first-person cat simulator is called Catlateral Damage (duh) and seriously, the player’s only objective is to knock over as many items as possible in two minutes. For now, the game — developed by QA tester Chris Chung — is limited to the owner’s bedroom. It’s currently in its alpha stage, and the full version will include more levels and more objects to send tumbling to the floor. The player’s sole weapon, however, will still be a paw.

Chung hasn’t yet announced the official release date, but you can play the alpha version in your browser, bringing you one step closer to finally figuring out how it feels to be a cat. And we can say this: the knocking stuff over part definitely feels good.

Flying Kitty Hidden Jump Star

Giving new meaning to the word “cat-apult,” a sprightly feline from Japan has taken the Internet by storm with his incredible ability to reach jaw-dropping heights in just one jump.

Nya-Suke, also known as the “Jumping Cat,” has been making waves on YouTube with his super-jumps for at least the past year; but his awesome antics are going viral once again this week after Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft reminded the world of the leaping feline’s amazing skill.

“Have you seen this little guy jump? Holy smoke, he’s incredible,” Ashcraft wrote.

Quoting the cat’s owner, YouTube user Jamuomii, Ashcraft wrote that though “the average cat can jump about five times their height, which is typically about 150cm or 4.9 feet,” Nya-Suke can jump as high as 196 centimeters, or 6.4 feet.

Forget about putting those kitty treats on the top shelf.
