Welcome to the weekend! Joining us this Caturday is Julius, lurking in his most favorite place, according to reader Susan H.:

The face of an orange striped cat hides among beautiful green leaves in a garden.
Well, hello there.

He loves to play in the landscaping plants, and he doesn’t have an “off” switch- he just keeps going until he’s panting. It makes for some great expressions!

And Now, An Ode to Grass

Oh verdant blades that rise in air / Green and tall beyond compare
After my meal of fish and kibble / Upon your tender leaves I’ll nibble
And then, my hunger thusly sated / Prepare to do that which I’m fated
I’ll creep indoors, quiet as a mouse / And hack up a hairball in the house
