Gentle readers, it pains me to begin today’s open thread with such heartbreaking news, but reader Tracy R. has just informed me that her beloved cat has been (chokes back tears) mildly inconvenienced:
So the tree people came today and the lawn people came today and the loud-recycling-truck people came today, all of which means Hamster did not get his usual sixteen hours of nappage in, so here’s Hamster being exhausted.
Maru looks much chonkier while standing next to Hana, but when he squeezes into a very skinny box, we are again reminded that he’s 50 percent cat, 50 percent floof.
Trouble in paradise? A tranquil day turns tense as Mary invades Hana’s personal space. But all is soon forgiven.

Welcome to the open thread, Cutetropolitans! Sensitive viewers may wish to avert their eyes, because today’s cat from reader Susan H. has nothing to hide:
I tried to take a picture of Julius playing with his wand toy while upside down on my lap, resulting in this absolute gem of a photo! (Apologies for the lack of privacy tail, but as you may remember, he doesn’t have much of a tail, haha!)
Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri are moving on up into a new cat tower, and Maru wastes no time claiming that dee-luxe apartment in the sky.
It’s just another scorching hot day at Rancho Maru. How hot? Maru can’t even wear his favorite beer box.
