Welcome to the weekend! Today’s guests are two cats who reader Tara O. had the pleasure to meet.

I was cat-sitting last week and took these two photos. Gingko the grey one was very sulky and wouldn’t come for food a few days.

A cat with gray fur and a very round face lies on a table and looks at you. — Normally, I don’t miss meals, but…

And Pacino was super sweet, but apparently expressed his displeasure at being left along to his mommy by peeing on her pillow the morning she returned.

A tuxedo cat with black and white fur stands on the floor and looks up at you. One of the cat's ears has been clipped to indicate neutering. — Actually, I never forgave her for the ear thing.

Bonus Bee!

Reader Elizabeth G. humbly proposes that bees are cute and submits this photo as evidence. “I mean, look how fuzzy he is.”

A bee crawls atop a bunch of flowers — Wait until you see me covered in pollen.

Welcome to the weekend! This Caturday we have two big fluffy fellows spotted by reader N. Fritz:

While visiting the States this summer, I met Grande (the big orange boi) and Jefe — sibling Norwegian Forest cats adopted by a family friend. They are large and in charge!

A large housecat with fluffy orange and white fur lies on his back in a shallow wicker box.

Is there any better sight on a Caturday morning than a well-tousled kitten belleh? Give our friend here a hearty rub and then talk amongst yourselves.
