Mewsweek isn’t over just yet, at least not without an entire day dedicated to our feline friends on the ModCloth Tumblr! All week, we’ve been browsing the web, compiling cute pictures of cats for our feline finale! So hop on over and check it out!

Name: Jasper
Age: 5
Breed: Domestic longhair

To end the week on a sweet note, we figured it was fitting to feature Jasper, the feline friend of Assistant Producer Anna. This spunky cat is a diva and a night owl, and spends most of her evenings playing, hunting, and running around the house in a hyper frenzy. That isn’t to say that Jasper doesn’t have her sweet moments, says Anna. “She totally has a sixth sense for when you’re having a bad day, and will come and snuggle up with you and purr.” Jasper’s favorite hangout is her kittie house, and can be found there often. “I think she thinks it’s her secret lair,” says Anna.

As for the origin of Jasper’s name? All the result of a funny mistake. Anna says that when she adopted the three-month-old Jasper, the pet store told her the cat was a boy. A trip to the vet then revealed otherwise. “The vet [told] his assistant to write down ‘sex change’ on Jasper’s charts,” says Anna. “I stood there, thinking, ‘My cat has not gotten a sex change! She’s been a girl all along, people!’”

If you’re lucky enough to meet Jasper in person, lean in close. “If you get close enough to her, she’ll bop her nose on yours for a kitty kiss!”

Earlier this week, we polled our Facebook fans to determine the number one celebrity cat. As you can see, Garfield came out on top, beating Felix the Cat with more than twice the number of votes! Though, in retrospect, we wonder that, had we had Hello Kitty or Catwoman as options, one of those ladies would have taken the crown.

What do you think — is Garfield the rightful winner? Are there other celebrity cats we missed? Or, does Cat Stevens have a strong vote from our blog audience to push him to first place?

Ever have a cat silently stalk you as you walk home from school, and then suddenly go wild and hiss and bare its teeth at you when you try to escape through your front door? Or, wake up in the middle of the night because a cat pounced on your face? Or, have a seemingly innocent kitten tunnel into your sleeping bag (how cute!) only to emerge having left a smelly surprise inside?

If you’ve ever met a cat like the terrifying-sounding Burger and Fries, or the adorable, diabolical Party Cat, you’re bound to have a “cat horror story.”

Have you had a close encounter with a cat of the silly or scary kind? You’re not alone! Share your story here so we can all end the week ‘feline’ fine.

Anyone who’s had a cat knows that it can cost a pretty penny to continually replenish your stash of cute kitty toys. And as much as kitties love random bits of refuse (i.e. gum wrappers, plastic bags, bottle caps), they certainly aren’t the most sightly of animal accoutrements, which is why I decided to craft this cute little mouse out of bits of scrap fabric from my craft pile!

Names: Scrizz (left) and FatGuy (right)
Ages: 6

You wouldn’t guess it, but the kitties you see above are actually brother and sister! Scrizz and FatGuy were adopted by Support Analyst Megan when they were mere kittens, and have been a fixture in Megan’s house for the past six years.

In the same way the siblings have grown into their individual looks, they’ve also developed very different personalities. “Scrizz is lovey dovey and enjoys watching from the sidelines,” Megan says. “FatGuy is mischievous and needs to be in on the action at all points and times.” Unsurprisingly, Scrizz’s favorite activities include snuggling on people’s laps and sunbathing, while FatGuy loves to eat and watch birds and squirrels in the yard.

With their winning combination of fuzziness, silliness, and slight megalomaniacal tendencies, cats were destined to be the queens and kings of the Internet. Thanks to some witty and artistically inclined kitty-loving humans, felines are poised to rule webcomics, too. The ones on my must-read list never fail to elicit giggles, smiles, and sudden overwhelming cuddle urges.

Above: Drawn by stylish Bay Area artist Yasmine Surovec and inspired by her kitties Shelley, Money, and Dumpling, Cat vs Human explores the fine line between a cat lady and a crazy cat lady from the perspective of one who already joyfully crossed it. You’ll recognize yourself and your furry friend in her adorably drawn panels of scratched legs, clawed furniture, and fur-covered clothes.

Hey Pais bills itself as the only webcomic written and drawn by a cat, the eponymous Paisley. I suspect she gets some help from her owner Sarah, who Pais affectionately refers to as “the girl.” Pais writes about subjects that matter to cats like prettiness, loafing, snuggles, and treats. She’s also known for cat-centric retellings of popular films and feline homages to geek culture staples like Harry Potter, Dr. Who, and Star Trek.

Popular comic Nedroid isn’t usually cat-centric, but when writer Anthony Clark decided to tackle a kitty tale, it was pure comedy catnip. If you’ve ever been pawed awake before dawn by a tabby who wants breakfast, you’ll recognize Party Cat’s relentless drive to achieve his desire. Which is, of course, to get down and party.

These kitten tales remind me of my devoted, and yes, slightly crazy, relationship with my boys, Pimm and Gimlet. Are there any online or print comics that tell the story of you and your kitty companions?

Name: Lola
Age: 5
Breed: Domestic short-haired tuxedo cat

A recent addition to the ModCat family, Lola was adopted from a San Francisco shelter by Design Manager, Mini, just a couple of months ago. Talkative and playful, Lola is still settling into her new home. “She’s finally starting to acclimate and lose some of her anxiety, so her personality is still in flux. I’m happy to see her grow and change with nurturing,” Mini says.

A fan of her scratching post, playing with string, and the occasional batting around of a toy mouse, this too cute critter has our hearts aflutter! “She loves playing ‘Chase’ — I run with her string, she chases. She started now running ahead of me, knowing the string will end up on the other side of the room when I get there. She’ll chase after me if I’m just walking, and gently “tag” my legs from behind, trying to get me to play.”

Welcome to the family, Lola!

No celebration is complete without music, and if you’re celebrating MewsWeek like we are in the ModCloth offices, then you need an appropriate playlist! This isn’t a mix for your cats, well, it could be if they like to listen to the likes of Cat Power, The Cure, or any musician who in some way has a correlation to our fine feline friends. A little bit indie, a little bit oldie, this cat playlist will scratch that fever you’ve had for a new playlist!

Listen right ‘meow,’ and let us know what cat-correlated songs you would add!

Caption this cat! What words will you give to Marketing Campaign Writer Angela’s photogenic feline? Also, if you want to learn how to make some of the toys above, watch our DIY video.

You know how that old saying goes – verbosity thrilled the cat. Okay, maybe it doesn’t go quite like that, but you get the idea, right? Well, in celebration of MewsWeek, we’ve been filling our blog, Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter pages with feline-friendly fun all week long!

So if you’re ‘purr-ticularly’ fond of pouncing on puns, crafty captions, and lol-worthy lines, we invite you to play Meow About That on Twitter.

The rules are simple:  We want you to think of the perfect caption for the pretty kitty pictured above. Once you come up a winning ‘fe-line,’ tweet it with the hashtags #meowaboutthat and #modcloth – no need to send them to @ModCloth!
