    50 Sochi + Mr White Instagrams for International Cat Day


    In honor of a very serious and important holiday in our house, International Cat Day, my two kitties Sochi and Mr.White asked (er, demanded) that I post a blogpost chronicling their most fur-tastic and famous kitty cat Instagram photos and videos.

    I, of course, happily agreed to comply with their request.

    However, I did point out that most of the photographs would emphasize their frequency of napping in odd positions, chasing inanimate objects and being overall silly-cute-and-weird at the same time. They did not oppose this point and authorized me to move forward with the assignment.

    So without further delay, let me share (in collaboration with my cats) the Top 50 Sochi + Mr White Instagrams for International Cat Day..

    Top 50 Sochi + Mr White Instagrams for International Cat Day – follow me on Instagram

    (note: do not miss the cat disclosure at the end of this post. Important stuff.)

    (In no particular order)

    1. Paws in the air for International Cat Day..

    Yes there are sleeping #kitten pics in my latest recipe blogpost. #sochicat gives my PB Chocolate Bowl #TwoPawsUp

    2. This gem. Mr.White’s famous sleeping position..

    Don’t worry. This is just how he sleeps. #mrwhitecat’s motto -> #PlayHardSleepHard #TooManyToys #kittenlife #blackcats
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Apr 21, 2014 at 10:15pm PDT

    3. And this. I am convinced MrWhite is half bat.. Bat cat.

    #mrwhitecat gets the household award for the most creative sleeping positions. #overtheedge

    4. One of the first kitty videos. They have not changed one bit!..

    The two personalities. Last one I promise. 🙂 #KittenAfternoon #mrwhitecat #sochicat #BetterThanWorking

    5. Sochi fell asleep on a skin brush. I repeat. He used it as a pillow.

    A new day, another sleeping position. #sochicat #MomIfoundAPillow #kittenlife

    6. That time MrWhite had one a rough night (or one too many cat treats) and ended up in my Cykochik bag…

    Well in case you were wondering. Yes, those awesome @cykochik #vegan bags can double as cat beds. Apparently. According to #MrWhiteCat (yes those are his kitten legs. And yes he somehow pulled out my camera cords before entering le bag) #kittenlife #ItsAcatBedIfItsOnTheFloor
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Jun 10, 2014 at 11:12pm PDT

    7. That time Sochi had one too many cat-mommy selfies. And fought back. This is a mom-put-the-phone-away paw whack…

    Appropriately captured. MomStopTakingSelfiesOfUsIJustWantToPlay 😻📵 #HappyWorldCatDay
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Aug 8, 2014 at 6:51pm PDT

    8. He tried sooooo hard to make it our of bed that morning…

    He woke up. Things were looking good. But he didn’t quite make it out of bed before a nap attack took hold. And 😴💤 #sochicat
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Aug 12, 2014 at 3:01pm PDT

    9. Favorite things on my desk: my cat.

    There’s a kitten napping behind my computer, on my desk. Using an unplugged hard drive and a sparkly aqua clutch purse as a pillow. And I’m ok with that. 😻💤
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Sep 4, 2014 at 12:54pm PDT

    10. Napping on the brand new couch..

    Oh these two. #HappyFriday

    11. MrWhite displays his famous leap-froging hop to catch that darn red light..

    #mrwhitecat’s technique for laser pointer destruction. We like to call it the leapfrog. 🐸💥
    A video posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Sep 28, 2014 at 10:29am PDT

    12. And his dehydrated cranberry-attacking skills..

    #MrWhiteCat’s most favorite cat toy ever. 👉 A freeze dried cranberry. He will play with it for HOURS all by himself. I now keep a bag of them just for his playtime needs. #CatsOfInstagram
    A video posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Jan 14, 2015 at 1:48pm PST

    13. MrWhite’s face… Me, like everyday.

    #MrWhiteCat’s face says it all.

    14. Glad this happens to other people too..

    15. MrWhite’s impressive ball handling skills..

    #mrwhitecat likes to think he is training for the bouncy ball Olympics. 🏆
    A video posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Jan 25, 2015 at 2:27pm PST

    16. I mean. Too much cute in one photo..

    #kittycorner #snugglebuddies I can’t believe I almost just adopted one of these kittens. #brothers #sochicat #mrwhitecat
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Mar 11, 2014 at 6:24pm PDT

    17. This impressive nap position..

    Cat beds? Child’s play. #mrwhitecat much prefers the challenge of a skinny, sunny windowsill. Purr. #kittenlife
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on May 1, 2014 at 5:58pm PDT

    18. That time Sochi helped me promote my cookbook. Thanks Soch..

    In just 8 days my new cookbook #HealthyHappyVeganKitchen will be in stores! #sochicat is excited. I hope you are too! 📚🙈🍴🍓🌱🎥
    A video posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Apr 20, 2015 at 4:55pm PDT

    19. Sochi napping in a disposable litter box because … why not?

    pet owner fun fact: disposable cat litter boxes make the best kitty beds. At least #sochicat think so. 💤
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Aug 25, 2014 at 1:35pm PDT

    20. Sochi either loves me or…

    When kitty cats attack. #sochicat 😻 #HeIsInsane 💞
    A video posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on May 29, 2015 at 3:09pm PDT

    21. Love love love..

    Surely I’m not the only one who edits kitty + me videos on a late Friday afternoon? #AllTheCoolKids #SochiCat #gratuitous #InstantHappiness #itsFriday 💋👉😸 #ilovemycat(s)
    A video posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Jan 16, 2015 at 5:52pm PST

    22. Just for the record, there is a version of this photo where I photoshopped MrWhite wearing a tie..

    Ghost kitty #MrWhiteCat … But the best caption is by @iyamanuttybrewnette “Mr.WhiteCat will see you Meow” #50ShadesOfBlackCats 😻
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Jun 11, 2015 at 7:47pm PDT

    23. Sochi doesn’t understand good manners…

    Thank you kitty cat for the unconditional, carefree, pure-hearted love and snuggles and whimsy and joy you sprinkle like fairy dust into my day. #SochiCat #kittenlife #lifewithpets ✨😻✨
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Jan 11, 2015 at 1:47pm PST

    24. Sometimes we dance.. (OK, every day we dance)

    🙋 Embarrassing myself in the name of #InternationalDanceDay … I dare you to do the same 👯 or at least dance around your living room for ten minutes. #CatsOptional @britneyspears music also optional (but necessary for me.) ✨👯✨ #FitnessIsFun 🙈

    25. Kitty pillows…

    Sunday snuggles.

    26. These two..

    #MrWhiteCat is the king of peculiar sleeping positions in this household. ✨💤
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Sep 16, 2014 at 6:48pm PDT

    27. Colorful cuteness..

    Makes me so sad to think about all the black kitties that have a harder time getting adopted than other kitties (for silly reasons too!) #mrwhitecat is nothing but regal, thoughtful, inquisitive, sweet & overflowing with good luck. He can cross my path any day of the week. #blackcatsrule ps more kitten pics in my latest blogpost! (Broccoli bisque)

    Oh to sleep like this. #mrwhitecat
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on May 24, 2014 at 6:51pm PDT

    42. MrWhite’s fave spot to nap… LAPS. Total lap man.

    #impossible trying to type with this face between me and my laptop. Guess I’ll play with my phone until he is done snuggling…
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Apr 10, 2014 at 12:17pm PDT

    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on May 25, 2014 at 1:07pm PDT

    44. MrWhite’s unveiling to the world. Right before I unveiled him to my husband. (Now they are BFFS) 🙂

    So long story short…. Sochi’a brother was simply miserable when u adopted him. So I decided to bring him along for the ride too. Meet MrWhite! He had a white tipped tail and is sweetly shy. #brothers #twoIsBetterThanOne #SochiCat #MrWhiteCat #adopt

    46. Playing nice. Or plotting their world domination..

    Clearly the kittens have not yet learned the concept of a *cat bed* (that lovely circular thing in the background) .. my new creamy white couch throw is much preferred apparently 🙂 #sochicat #mrwhitecat
    A photo posted by Kathy / HealthyHappyLife (@kathypatalsky) on Mar 13, 2014 at 5:23pm PDT

    47. It never ends. The snoozing..

    Happy International Cat Day! Please consider checking out a few of my favorite kitty charities..

    Alley Cat Allies

    BestFriends.org

    Cat Disclosure: This has been a Sochi and MrWhiteCat Production. All above photos are sole copyright of Sochi and MrWhite and must never be used unless their paws approve usage and context. Sochi and MrWhite would also like to give a shoutout to all the cats out there and specifically not include dogs. I asked that dogs be included in the pet shoutout, but MrWhite firmly said, no dogs allowed. So while I adore dogs, the above shoutout is for cats only. All comments must be complimentary in form or they will be swiftly removed by Sochi’s paw clicks. Sochi requests that you leave comments describing how cute he is and MrWhite requests comments telling his mommy, aka me, to buy him more treats and serve more dry food even though he knows the wet food is better for him. He also requests more play sessions and would like to point out that he does not have fingers or he would indeed be writing this entire blog for himself. Lastly, Sochi and MrWhite demand that you adopt and don’t shop and that every household in America has at least one kitty cat head of household. Two is preferred. Sochi would also like to ask for you to donate to one of the above kitty cat charities … or at the very least hug a cat today. Thank you and goodnight… at least for all the napping cats out there.

    Sochi and MrWhite also requested that I add a photo of miss Nellycat..

    We’re going to need a bigger boat. Er, Kitty bed.
