Weekend Open Thread

Here’s hoping your Caturday finds you as contented as our feline friend here. Feel free to talk about what’s going on!

When you’re as cute as I am you’ve got no worries.

Bonus bird! Reader Sharon G. shares her precious parakeet “utterly exhausted from killing her rope.”

Blue and yellow parakeet perches on a multicolored rope inside its cage
And definitely not pining for the fjords.

Maru’s Just Warming Up

It’s another cold snowy Caturday, so Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri cozy up to the wood stove, and Mary enjoys a brushing and masters a wobbly container.

Weekend Open Thread

Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Today reader Georgiana Y. shares her beautiful cats Storm and Skye:

I thought maybe you would enjoy a photo of Storm being an elegant void lounging on the chair and one of curious Skye wondering why I’m taking a photo of Storm and not one of herself because she’s much cuter.

I’m photogenic!
Gray and white cat sits on the floor looking up at you
Photo-generic, more like it.

Maru Drives Out Evil

This week was the Japanese festival of Setsubun, the time of year for driving out evil ogres. But frankly, if I was an evil ogre and came across Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri lined up and staring at me like some sort of feline Addams Family, I’d say “You know what? We’re good here, I’ll see myself out.”

Three cats pose in a row. the leftmost cat sits on the floor, the center cat in a stuffed elephant wearing a red Japanese ogre mask, and the rightmost cat sits on a stuffed cow.

Maru and Kitten Miri become purritos. Hana has a purrito wrap as well, but she’s just not filling it.

Now I really want a burrito, Andrew Y.
