Today at Maru Towers, building maintenance is upgrading the recreational facilities. As president of the tenants association, Maru is there to supervise.

Weekend Open Thread

Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Today we have a visit from Skye, who is a model of persistence where food is concerned, explains reader Georgiana Y.:

In the evening we always eat on tray tables in the living room while watching the news. My husband spoils Skye and gives her bits of food from his plate depending on what we eat, that night he was eating shrimps covered in batter so not suitable for cats so she didn’t get any but not for the lack of trying.

I see you have shrimp. I too enjoy shrimp.

Maru and the Blustery Day

Maru, a cat, sits on the deck overlooking his backyard

It’s very windy in Maru’s backyard, so he steps outside to marvel at Nature’s fury. Hana and Kitten Miri, on the other hand, just think it blows.

He’ll be stuck in a honey tree next, Andrew Y.

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

And definitely not pining for the fjords.
