Weekend Open Thread

Welcome to the weekend! Today’s guests are two cats who reader Tara O. had the pleasure to meet.

I was cat-sitting last week and took these two photos. Gingko the grey one was very sulky and wouldn’t come for food a few days.

Normally, I don’t miss meals, but…

And Pacino was super sweet, but apparently expressed his displeasure at being left along to his mommy by peeing on her pillow the morning she returned.

A tuxedo cat with black and white fur stands on the floor and looks up at you. One of the cat's ears has been clipped to indicate neutering.
Actually, I never forgave her for the ear thing.

Bonus Bee!

Reader Elizabeth G. humbly proposes that bees are cute and submits this photo as evidence. “I mean, look how fuzzy he is.”
