Weekend Open Thread

For the last Caturday of 2025 reader Georgiana Y. shares a story of kindness, and of hope for the future:

I call her The Princess. Last summer I started leaving a bowl of kibble outside for the neighbourhood strays but contrary to the other cats that come around this little lady doesn’t settle for kibble, she will sit in front of the sliding glass patio doors looking in until I give her a bowl of wet food. When I open the door she looks in but she makes no move to come in and she definitely doesn’t want to be touched, I have been soundly swatted (no claws) for daring to try but she keeps coming back so maybe someday …

A calico colored cat eats wet cat food from a metal dish on a snow-covered outdoor deck.
Someday I’ll come inside — and swat you there.
