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.

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.

Maru Drives Out Evil

Not That Mike The Other Mike3 Comments

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.

Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Today’s visitor is Squirt, a stray cat getting love and care from reader Tara O., who adds: “He has been a stray in my yard for a few weeks now. He’s a little scared but very friendly, food motivated, and knows I will feed him and give him skritches.”

a tuxedo cat, black with white chest, looks at you.
To be clear, I am also skritches motivated.
