For today’s open thread, reader Tara O. shares this photo of Ophelia, a cat with a very important job:
She is a support animal for cats ONLY! Her co-worker, Clark (a black tux kitty), is the support animal for the dogs that come in. They both know their jobs and perform them well.

Good morning Ophelia you are gorgeous!
It’s a long weekend here and depending where you live in Canada Monday is either called Victoria Day or here in Québec “Journée nationale des Patriotes” (National Patriotes Day) but in New Brunswick it is simply called Prescribed Day of Rest.
But for me it’s the put away winter clothes and take out summer clothes weekend. That means a lot of going up and down to the basement with boxes of clothes and a lot of washing! Thankfully it will be sunny and warm all weekend so I can put some clothes outside to dry which means I don’t have to run the dryer as much.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Good Morning and happy Caturday all!
Ophelia and Clark live at my vet’s office. I’ve seen them both in action and it’s amazing. When they aren’t doing their very important jobs, they are supervising Annie, the receptionist, lying all over her desk.
I’m done with school! WootWoot! Grading, final meetings, department reviews, everything. So of course, Jacques woke me up at 5:30am this morning. He now has stage 2 kidney disease and is constantly hungry. I’m feeding him as best I can with baby food, sardines, defrosted frozen fish, all mixed with a portion of the medicated renal support food. I’ve given up keeping him off of one of counters (my cats have always known that was not allowed) but since Jacques is deaf now – he gets a pass. I can leave a plate of food for him there and the other cats won’t go up there. He knows it’s there and when he’s hungry during the day he help himself.
I’m close to finishing knitting a tank top so I’ll do that today and then I’ll go do some gardening. Tomatoes need to go in along with other things. I’m honestly a little at a loss without the pressure of grading and lesson planing. Not complaining though.
