Weekend Open Thread

Happy Caturday and welcome to the open thread. Every cat is quirky and unique, and so it is with this beautiful stripey girl from reader Georgiana Y.:

I’ve had cats all my life but never one quite like Skye! She is clumsy and not graceful at all, she moves more like a bulldog than a cat. Also I had hoped that her obsession with chewing the cords of things like chargers would pass as she grew older but, sadly, no. As I often tell her, it’s a good thing that she’s so cute!

Cuteness is like a get-out-of-jail card.

Invasion of the Croissant People!

A pair of smiling, unblinking converts led Marsdon into the greenhouse. There he saw Miss Henderson unconscious next to a strange alien object. “She feels no pain,” said a convert. “Soon, just like her, you will awaken in your new body and feel happier… calmer… flakier.” Marsdon pulled out his revolver. “That’s where you’re wrong, you bloodless freaks! I’m flaky enough as it is!”

Nothing’s flakier than a cat, Andrew Y.
