• I have no idea how accurate this r/mapporn map charting the changing ratio of cats to dogs across the United States is, but I love it anyway.


• This Wired obituary for Grumpy Cat, tracing in that feline's death not only the death of a cute cat but the death of hope for the Internet as a source of fun, rings true to me.


• Atlas Obscura notes how Bangladesh has successfully reduced the poaching of tigers.


• Atlas Obscura takes a look at the many cat ladders of the Swiss city of Bern.


• David Grimm at Science Magazine reports on an innovative research project that attached video cameras to cats to see what they actually did.
