Shortly after the turn of the false millennium, or early in
the year 2000, I was cruising a favored Apple computer forum
and chanced upon the picture you see to your left. That's Frankie,
the progenitor of the Infinite Cat Project, admiring the beauty
of a flower. (Major kudos to Paul Hamilton, owner of Frankie,
for kicking this whole thing off.)
Not long after that another visitor to the same forum beheld
his cat growling at the picture of Frankie and summarily posted
an image of that event. I thought this sequence held promise
and had my own cat, Poozy, join the queue, a progression that
now boasts over 1500 cats.
There's always room at the table for one more kitty. So join
us, won't ye?

Meet the New Toms, Queens, Kittens, Felines and Felinettes.
And ye olde Infinite
Cat keeps on a-rollin' along. Everyone say hello to our newest

Welcome one and all!
The thumbnail images for all the kitties on this site are arrayed
in 25-cat groups for the convenience of those who wish to start
elsewhere other than the begining or the end. Choose the group
of your choice and have fun! BTW, if you
don't see "Select a cat group" below it means you
need to install the free Flash plug-in. You can download
it here.

I'll be happy to add your kitty to the ICP but even rinky-dink
web sites like this one have standards to follow, so click

The Cat House On the Kings
I chanced upon a video of this remarkable no-kill animal shelter today (see above)
in Parlier, California.
It's a 12 acre facility where currently over 700 cats (and many dogs) have the
run
of the cage-free place. It's admirably managed by its founder, Lynea
Lattanzio, and
has
successfully
homed
over
16,000
cats
in its 16 years of existence.
Every city should have at least one no-kill facility like this one and I
encourage
you
to visit
the site and, please, contribute what you can.
And if there's a similar facility in your city, please support it, too.
The guy who wrote this terrific game vanaished form the face of the
internet but he left behind one swell, cat-based game. I'll always
wonder who the old broad really was. Click here to
play.
Do you like to sew? Do you like cats? Do you have a wall that
needs decorating? Are you lactose tolerant? Then you've come
very close to the right place as a good friend of the ICP has
just released this adorable new wall-hanging pattern featuring
those fab felines. Click here
for more details and a larger view.
Where
Do We
All Come From?
Since
first erecting this web site I was amazed by how many of its
visitors live outside the parochial boundaries of the United
States. Now, thanks to feedjit.com, I have a visual map of the
last 100 visitors to the ICP. Just mouse over the little red
dots on the map to your right for extra details on our foot-traffic.
This is a wonderful tool but it tells me I'm in Arlington, Texas,
rather than Dallas, Texas. But that's close enough.
Captivating
Cat Crapola
Collection
While
I don't seriously expect anyone to actually buy any of these
questionable items, I've slapped together a startlingly
goofy collection of cat-related commercial goods
to be found on the backwaters of Amazon.com.
Oh yeah, plus a link to cafepress.com
where you can find official Infinite Cat Project ephemera.
Consider yourself warned.
Not
an ad...

"My Infinite Gratitude"
The following is a list of those who have contributed in support
of the Infinite Cat Project. In lieu of listing the names
in any intelligent way I decided to post them alphabetically.
It's not a perfect system, those of you of Polish descent
get the shaft again, but at least it helps me keep the names
straight. If I've missed your name or misspelled it, please
let me know.
The green colors indicate donations in excess of $10 while
the single listing in orange is for one very exceptional cat
lover. You know who you are and I want to have your children.
I thank you, the cats thank you, and my web host thanks you.
