The Cycling Cat: Reporting the Wild Side of Bicycling 7

Hello, dear reader, my name is Nikita, and I turned 10 years old last week.

The human you know as The Cycling Dude has been my life long companion, and bosum buddy, and I have also been his co-blogger for years.

What am I doing here?

This week Daddy has been very, very, busy, and so he asked me to fill in for him, and keep you entertained and informed. ;-D

The first post in this series, from March 7, has pictures of me, and a link to where I normally blog, if you are interested.

Daddy will explain everything, when he returns to blogging, I promise. ;-D

So, let's roll!

1. Can anyone answer these 2 questions:

Is bicycle grease harmful to cats?

How do you remove bicycle grease from a cat?

Fat Guy Cycling first asked these questions way back in 2004.

The blog seems to have ended in 2005 so I wonder if anyone answered him. ;-D

2. In a related story found posted on Yahoo last year:

QUESTION: My cat is not eating, I suspect he has ingested some bicycle grease. This has been the fourth day?

Very interesting.

3. More from the medical community on cats who cycle:

The female cat begins cycling when she has reached 80% of her adult size and when the days are appropriately long. This could be as young as 5 months of age.

Yeah, but what about us guys? I have not set paw on a cycle in my life! You would think I'd have started by now what with Daddy being a cyclist and all.

Indoor cats are sheltered from the light cycles of the sun and may not cycle as frequently as their outdoor counterparts.

All righty then! THAT explains it! My sheltered, pampered, life style has stunted my physical and emotional growth!

Okaaay... ;-D

4. About those cycling Cats... in related news:

Back in September, on World Tourism Day, in India, a group of adventure enthusiasts from around the world, "who want to be a part of the city adventure tours, treks, and sports", posted an invite on its blog:

It's World Tourism Day tomorrow and Cats are being invited to participate in the Cycling Event taking place tomorrow morning with the international tourists. The peddling off time is 7am and we should be able to go home by 8am.

Chandigarh Adventures, Treks and Sports

Okay all this talk of bicycling Pussys has me tired out!

Yes, you guessed it!

Nap time!

Catch ya later! ;-D
