Weekend Open Thread

Yay, it’s Caturday! Today’s visitor is Jacques, displaying typical cat behavior and giving reader Tara O. the chance to make the best joke ever:

Attached is Jacques-in-a-box. I was cleaning up my jewelry and ran out of places to put boxes. Once they were on the bed they were fair game.

Cat sits among an array of small jewelry boxes spread out on the bed. The cat is trying to put its paws in one of the boxes.
I can fit, I swear!

And Jacques would also like to remind everyone to stay hydrated in the heat. Especially if mommy’s bedside water is available. Much better than cat bowl water.

As the Maru Turns

It’s a quiet afternoon at Casa Maru. Hana and Kitten Miri play between naps, and all Maru wants is to sit in his plastic bowl. But when Hana gets close, things take a turn.

Let’s start our Caturday by wishing a happy birthday to Storm, who turned four years old yesterday, says reader Georgiana Y.

Black cat lounges on a sofa and looks up at you.
You can put my presents in my supper dish.

Not to be upstaged, Storm’s sister Skye got into some mischief:

I had just come in from hanging out clothes and I left the empty basket on the kitchen stools to get a drink of water and when I turned back Skye had claimed the basket as her own. I guess it’s Skye’s basket now!

A gray and white cat sits inside a white plastic laundry basket, looking quite pleased with herself.
Why do you keep putting laundry in my fortress?

Maru Plays Hard, Naps Harder

Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri spend their Caturday chasing, batting and catching their toys, then enjoy a well earned rest.
