The taking care of someone else's cat experience of getting hissed at while you're filling the ingrate's food bowl, YOU ARE NOT MOTHER BEGONE FOUL NOT MOTHER I WILL NOT BE COMFORTED BY A STRANGER LEAVE ME TO MY AGONIES NOT MOTHER AND GO BACK TO THE DARKLING PLAIN YOU CAME FROM

The alt text is what really cracked me up on this one.

This is pretty much my feeling at the moment.

NYE plans cancelled due to weather; time to get some comfort food for dinner and settle in for a night of cat snuggles and video games.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

This was 2 years ago but still resonates.

Wrapping presents is very difficult work. I’m fortunate to have so much feline assistance.

Science!

Looking up wall calendars is always a fun game. Should I go for the sloth yoga or the fantasy pugs? Or perhaps the mullet calendar would be a better choice? I have many questions about the people who come up with these ideas.

Just got my kitty home in @littlekittybigcity.bsky.social after several heart stopping falls and misadventures. Later I’ll finish the quests I missed, but for now it’s time to nap in the sun.

It’s been a rough weekend. But I was part of a midwinter show that brought joy to hundreds of people in our city. We had the audience singing with us & dancing in the aisles. It was worth our precious time spent practicing to bring light & joy to the darkness.

Oh my. All the Christmas kittens

started the new Stranger Things episodes and I’m just gonna say it: Hawkins seems like a suboptimal place to live

I was today years old when I learned that pineapples mean something more than just having good taste with your pizza favs.

I checked this out and this is a legit screenshot of their Wikipedia page. Sounds like fish like video games for realsies!

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

My cat is helping me watch tonight’s Critical Role episode. (Notice the screen behind the cat.) #criticalrolespoilers

I can’t believe I somehow still have the Nicest Boys You’ve Ever Met waiting for their forever home. Chicory & Satsuma are so special. Chicory’s your cuddle buddy. Satsuma’s your “as close as physically possible without touching you but you can still reach to pet me” buddy. crits4cats.petfinder.com

Our old arthritic boy has a bee in his bonnet and is running around zooming as if he were a kitten again. Don’t know what got into him but it’s good to see him so playful.

Once again she’s helping me with laundry. The hanger knows what it did.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

#NationalBlackCatDay #NationalBlackCatAwarenessDay Edelgard sends her greetings to you all!

She looks like she’s just casually hanging out, but in fact she’s ready to claw my sleeve as soon as I step too close.

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

PLEASE boost Shoyu, she is such a good girl and has grown so much but needs a very special person to love her the way she wants to be loved! She is located near Elkton, MD/Newark, DE and her adoption fee is waived! Apply at crits4cats.petfinder.com

Human artist?! Use one piece to convince people to follow you! An oldie but I still like it.

These boys are just legs and ears. Satsuma & Chicory are still looking for a home together! They are such amazing boys with the best personalities (though Chicory really likes to chase & wrestle, he can be obnoxious for cats who prefer to Not do that). Apply to adopt at crits4cats.petfinder.com!

For those days when neither the cat tree nor the window sill quite meet your perching needs.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT GUYS GUYS THIS IS IS SEISMIC GUYS I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU OPUS DEI IS THE SCIENTOLOGY OF CATHOLICISM THEY ARE THE ONLY THING "THE DA VINCI CODE" GOT RIGHT THEY ARE AWFUL AND THEY ARE EVIL AND THEY HAVE ENORMOUS POWER AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO TRADFASH CATHOLICISM

Here’s the rare Tuxedo Maryland Panther hovering over its prey. Ordinarily totally invisible, this animal allowed us a brief glimpse at dusk. What an experience! #tuxedocats #catimagination

Hiya, 'net. My hero wife is a federal worker who is working without pay thanks to the gub'mint. If you'd like to help keep our kitties safe and indoors during this hard time, you can read my horror books. No AI anywhere, not even the cover art. Even a checkout from KU helps. Thanks everyone!

What a kind and loving gesture on her part to reassure everyone.

Living the dream… because I can’t stay awake.

I believe this of copiers as well.

Oh no! It's a spooky pumpkin. Vampire is available to adopt in Southern California. Willing to drive her out up to 2hrs for the right match! Costume & Candy store included. Dm for details

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

My cat has missed Critical Role and is excited about the start of Critical Role. The second I started getting things ready to watch she jumped on my lap & age been here through the whole thing. (Watching late cuz I couldn’t watch Thursday.) #criticalrole

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

Out of all of the fake Chotiner interviews I’ve seen, this one seems the most apt. @nickjdupont.bsky.social you might appreciate this one.

CHOTINER: And you didn’t know this person - what did you call him again? CELEBRIMBOR GREATEST OF THE ELVEN SMITHS: Right, his name was Annatar but CHOTINER: And you taught him to create a ring harnessing all his malice and cruelty? CELEBRIMBOR: Well I mean I was deceived CHOTINER: So you’ve said

Don't feel sorry for the hanger; it knows what it did.

I’m ridiculously happy that this kitten, who earlier this week almost died of cold and starvation, is now happily grooming himself on a fuzzy blanket with a nice plump tummy.

Zack, the kitten who defied Fate, is discharged from the hospital and is heading home. He looks so much like an entirely different kitten, I wasn’t even sure it was him at first. I can’t believe he made it. Thank you, Animal Emergency Hospital of Bel Air, MD for saving his life & caring for him.
