Ah, the cat bib.
I’m not sure if it is a well-kept secret or not, but I have a certain distaste for cats, likely originating when I was two and family friend’s Siamese cat crawled up my back as I was singing Happy Birthday. A distressing event.
I’ve never really warmed up to them for many reasons including:
- the aforementioned Siamese birthday incident
- the fact that they shit in a box in your house
- they shit in a box and then cat owners let them walk on kitchen counter-tops, dining room tables
- the fact that they’ll also shit in sandboxes & garden beds
- cat parasites affect our personality
- they’re an ecological disaster killing millions of native birds, herptiles & other small wildlife every year
The best solution for the last point is to keep you cat indoors (sorry about the kitty-litter thing though). Some (unreasonable) people seem to believe that their cat needs to be outside. Luckily, there seems to be something of a solution for those outdoor cats: The CatBib (pictured above).

About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
