For the past four years, Remy has been visiting Harvard University and roaming the campus. “He has been in student dorms, at parties, attended lectures, and taken photos with tourists in Harvard Yard,” says his owner, Cambridge resident Sarah Watton. The Wattons live about a mile from campus and say that Remy’s penchant to wander started when he was young. They tried leash walking him, but by the time he turned a year old, they gave up on trying to stop his excursions. Students and faculty are watching out for him, and he even has his own Facebook  page. There’s no word on when Remy will receive his Harvard degree. For more about Remy, please visit the Harvard Gazette.

Kach and Jonathan Howe had been thinking bout getting a friend for their sailor cat, Captain Ahab, so when they rescued a little kitten from a sewer canal in the Dominican Republic, they knew it was fate. Zissou fell in love with his big brother instantly and followed him everywhere. Captain Ahab wasn’t so sure about the kitten at first, but they quickly became inseparable, and Ahab taught Zissou how to be a good boat cat. For more about the pair, and more wonderful photos, visit LoveMeow.com or the Howes’ blog, where they share their adventures of sailing around the world.
