Caturday means more cats. Actually I’m more of a dog lover being allergic to cats, but virtually I think they are awesome. Maybe I need a virtual cat on the XBOX like Milo? Today coming from my buddy Nuno is Cats on Catnip. For more videos check his post here.

Much like the revolution in Animation spearheaded by greats like Spike Decker, Bill Plympton, Danny Antonucci and later the boys from South Park and others. Going from Disney kid animations, and [...]
