Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Since Cutetropolitans are such caring and giving souls, reader Georgiana Y. writes with a heartfelt request on behalf of her dear friends:

Urgent! Volunteers needed for belly rubs. We promise this is not a trap. Signed, Stormy and Skye.

Happy Friday the Thirteenth!

Don’t worry — I may be a black cat, but I’m one of those bad-luck kind of black cats. In fact, I might bring good luck! As long as you have chicken. Or maybe a tuna sandwich. Otherwise, I dunno, could go either way, you take your chances.

Which isn’t the best idea today, obviously.

Follow the Yellow Leaf Road!

So I hide in the house during a twister and when I wake up I’m in this strange little town full of high-pitched weirdos and then some lady floats down in a soap bubble and tells me I should just follow that yellow road a ways and I’ll be home again and now… this? I mean, did they run outta yellow or something?
