This is what happens when you don't keep your cats in at night.

The Bachelor Party by Louis Wain via CHLOE VAN PARIS: Louis Wain (1860 – 1939), a great sampling of Wain cats.

1052 Queen St W | April 2013

She’s back! My favorite storefront kitty has access to the front window again now that 1052 is not currently being used as a pop-up shop. 

My first two cats were tabbies like this sweetie. Here’s a picture of the same cat from five years ago, February 2008, before the pop-up shops:

The storefront in summer 2012:

I posted other pictures of this storefront and kitty in December 2011.

I wouldn't dress my cats for a picture but this cat Lorenzo (photographed by his human, Joan Biondi) wears clothes well.

Rear Window Timelapse begins by constructing a panoramic view of the courtyard in Rear Window and then shows scenes in place (spoilers). This is the most awesome thing I have watched on the internet this year that doesn't include cats or Avengers.

There's a lot for me to like. I love this period of Hitchcock. Stitching interesting panoramas in Photoshop is one of my favourite things so I can connect with the technical aspects on an emotional level. Random contributor to my enjoyment: I once had a job where I had to deconstruct movies, watching them back and forth, each movie for up to two months, cataloging all the visual information: settings, costumes etc.

(When I wanted to post this I searched the Hitchcock tag looking for a post to reblog and I like the frame girlatlas chose to hilight the post. It looks more exciting on the dashboard than the tiny video thumbnails.)

Kissing kitties in Minecraft! 

That game is so adorable, even with the monsters that come out at night. I'll have to check it out again now that there are minecats. I grabbed this still from this video.
