FRIDAY CATBLOGGING….We’re entering a cold snap here in Southern California, with temps forecast to plummet to a brisk 75 or so this afternoon. Time to bundle up!

Actually, Inkblot has been shedding for the past few days, as our Santa Ana-induced record warmth has fooled him into thinking that summer has come. Hopefully he’ll figure out soon that it’s just a trick. I wouldn’t want him to lose his lovely winter coat too soon.

In other weather-related cat news (how’s that for a smooth segue?), Danish reporter Ole K. sends along “Jörg Kachelmann und Lupin” for your YouTube viewing pleasure. Note hint of action to come at about the 0:17 mark. Very civilized, those German weather forecasters.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
