Maru Gets Legal

Close up photograph of the face of Maru the cat, wearing a hat with "18th" embroidered onto it.

Maru turns 18, making him old enough to drive, vote, and buy the beer boxes he loves to squeeze into. To celebrate, he looks back on his past year of weirdness.

Q: When is Maru not a cat? A: When he’s a dandelion.

Looking dandy indeed, Andrew Y.

Welcome to the Caturday open thread. Fans of Disney parks love to look for “hidden Mickey” shapes, but reader Tara O. shares one you’ll only find here in our chat room:

Please consider these pics of Butch’s foot pads, where clearly he is hiding Mickey Mouse.

Black and white cat, viewed from overhead, sitting on a bedspread. We can see the underside of cat's foot, with an interesting marking.
What’s the marking on the foot that’s shaped so perfectly?

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

A golden retriever dog, a black cat, and a yellow duckling sleep together on a white bed

Buddy and his feline friend welcome a fluffy duckling to their cuddle puddle. It takes the newcomer a little while to find a comfy spot to sleep, but once he does you don’t hear a peep out of him.
