Weekend Open Thread

Gentle readers, it pains me to begin today’s open thread with such heartbreaking news, but reader Tracy R. has just informed me that her beloved cat has been (chokes back tears) mildly inconvenienced:

So the tree people came today and the lawn people came today and the loud-recycling-truck people came today, all of which means Hamster did not get his usual sixteen hours of nappage in, so here’s Hamster being exhausted.

Photograph of one corner of a Suburban living room. There is a hardwood floor with a patterned rug, an armchair, and two cats scratching toys upon one of which rests a very tired cat.
I’m so tired I can barely nap.
