No More Tears, Maru

So apparently when Maru turned 18 recently his face magically cleared up and now some of us are wondering why that couldn’t have happened to us when we were kids.

It’s another beautiful Caturday and reader Georgiana Y. shares this peaceful scene:

Skye and Storm are really enjoying having the patio door open so they can sniff all the nice smells and watch the birdies and squirrels in the back yard now that the weather is finally cooperating. I just love how they sit up with their front legs resting on the door frame with their noses pressed against the screen.

I got dibs on that plump robin.

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!
