Weekend Open Thread

For today’s open thread we welcome the very dapper Squirt, a stray cat who posed for pictures while getting neutered for re-release. But the process left him a bit disheveled, notes reader Tara O.:

He is so adorable, but I wonder who was in charge of painting his tux. They made a mess! My guess is they were either “in training,” drunk, or ran out of paint. I mean, they only manage one white eye brow. Sloppy craftsmanship if you ask me. But it’s not his fault. Poor dear. He was given extra sweetness for his personality.

A “mess”? Moi?

And I didn’t need the “alterations,” thank you very much.

Miri Gets High

In the house, Kitten Miri stays close to the ground, but outside she loves to climb as high as she can and marvel in the brilliant autumn colors. Later, we look back as Maru enjoys the leaves from last fall.

Maru Got His Paws Wet

Maru the cat drinks water from a shallow bowl on the floor.

It’s good to remember Maru, because his quirks made him one of a kind — like the hands-on way he drank water.
