Maru Got High on Grass

One thing about Maru: he loved his greens. But not as much as Kitten Miri, who really packed away the cat grass. Guess that’s how she gets the energy to chase her favorite toy.

Weekend Open Thread

We have a special treat for today’s open thread, as reader Susan H. shares these delightful photos of Julius playing hide-and-seek with a deer friend:

He loves to hide in ferns, and as you can see, they provide excellent camouflage (“cat-mouflage”).

A pattern of light brown fern leaves. Hidden within them is the face of a cat, whose light orange markings nearly match the leaves and make him difficult to see.
I am een-VEE-zee-buhls!

He also likes to hide from the deer, usually with less success.

A deer stands and looks at a cat, who is trying to hide behind a small bush.
Dude, I can totally see you.
An orange cat sits indoors, looking away from a slightly open door. Seen through the glass of the door is a deer looking at the cat.
Mom, can Steve stay for lunch?

He’s definitely not a lap cat, but he does have his moments. When I posted this one to Facebook, I titled it “On today’s episode of Orange and Jobless…”

Hey, being cute is a full-time job.

Hana, Miri, and the Hole

As work progresses in the backyard of Hana and Kitten Miri, a strange hole appears. Will the daring Miri explore its depths? Later it’s time for toys, including a flashback with Uncle Maru.

Weekend Open Thread

Today’s Caturday visitor Skye looks harmless, but her human Georgiana Y. has a word of warning:

Skye looks so sweet when she sleeps, doesn’t she? She looks just like a little angel but don’t let that fool you, she can turn into a fur tornado raging through in one second flat.

Also, I can hear you talking about me…
