Happy Caturday, everyone! Welcome to the open thread, where you can talk about whatever you want. We have a new visitor today, courtesy of Megan S., who writes: “I thought you might enjoy the attached photo I recently took of my cat, Teddy, caught mid-yawn while begging for food.”
Looks like he’s saying “Feed me NOW!!” Gorgeous house panther. Going to be busy running errands today – haircut, furniture shopping for the new house, setting up the closet systems, etc etc. Happy weekend everyone!
Teddy is a beauty, I hope we see more of him! Freezing rain/drizzle is in the forecast here for this afternoon (I would rather have 3 feet of snow than a thin layer of ice!) so I am about to go get my errands done now! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Teddy is gorgeous. Maybe he’s trying to catch snowflakes?
Happy weekend Qte-land!
Crinkle his ears a little and put a little while paint on his chest and he’ll look just like my parents’ temporary charge.
Not much going on here. It snowed a few inches yesterday but is sunny today. I have an eye doctor appointment at 4 and some dishes to do. How does one person use so many utensils?
Here’s a question to ponder…
Allein, I live alone and when I wash dishes there are maybe a couple of plates, a glass, and 27389194910 forks and spoons!
I know! I don’t understand it!!!
Poor kitty!!! So hungry he has to meow and yawn at the same time!!
What a sweetie! 😸
Teddy looks like he’s screaming and sucking your soul simultaneously, in the cutest way possible.
I’m about to have my cat consultation! I recently set up a Facetime appointment with the Way of Cats lady, who knows a lot about rehabilitating ferals. We’re talking about whether/how/when to try integrating Scorpius with the upstairs cats. It’s good to have access to an expert. Her book is great and her blog is great: https://www.wayofcats.com/blog/
Happy Caturday, everyone! Stay safe in the snow, ice, cold temps, or whatever. I did errarnds yesterday so I’m not stepping a foot outside until Monday.
Teddy’s expression is exactly like the one I adopted in the dentist’s chair on Wednesday, after breaking an upper left molar on Monday night. As if that wasn’t a bad enough start to 2020, on Friday I gashed my hand on a broken glass and got blood all over a brand new white blouse. Things can only improve from now on!
>As if that wasn’t a bad enough start to 2020
Especially since it’s 2022!
Hope the hand is okay. I cut my thumb last Wednesday (so a week and a half ago) cutting a caramel apple and it’s still healing.
2020….2021…..2022….is there a difference?? 😂
Not really… 🙃
Yeah Allein and Dana…all the same year to me. ☹️ 2020 2021 2022 is the year I became a hermit. Or should I say more of a hermit. ,☹️
You are not alone, if it makes you feel better.
What do you mean I’m not alone??? I thought I was a hermit?? 😸😁😜
Metaphorically.
But I have to venture out into the world now…
Ha ha!! 🤣
Maybe you’ve gotten all the bad luck out of the way now? I hope so—both experiences sound awful.
Megan, if I were you, I would feed Teddy ASAP. You might live longer.
Duckieville is cold, wet, white, icy and drippy. Big Duckie has cabin fever. Little Duckie is cuter than ever.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
Woo hoo! Just cleaned the wound site with alcohol and there was absolutely no pain.
🎉👍💐 yay Duckie!
Hurrah!
Very good, Duckie – a great sign!
Yes, Teddy looks pretty darned determined and fearsome! Feed now.
And, I, too am at least a partial introvert – I do love parties and other social gatherings when I know people. This pandemic, however, makes me realize that I’m struggling with keeping in touch , feel more like I want to be left alone.
Hurray!
Here’s something cute from the human world…
Twins born 15 minutes apart in different years! Big brother Alfredo was born about 11:45 on December 31st and little sister Aylin was born at midnight on January 1st.

And cute humans and animals…
They sent the photo to Queen Elizabeth and got a letter back (from an assistant, but still)! (And today I learned that “lady-in-waiting” is still a thing…)

Yes, saw this a bit ago – so clever! And Yes, Ladies-in-Waiting are, indeed, still part of the courtiers. We went to a gathering given by my husband’s brother-in-law who is the second son of the Earl of Radnor. It was a big outdoor fete, where one isn’t seated anywhere near your spouse and I sat next to one of Diana’s Ladies-in-Waiting! (Quite a while ago now.)
