Welcome to a very floofy Caturday as reader Sowmya D. shares her beautiful fluffy friends:

Here again we have Princess Ekaterina Velikaya, gazing upon her realm from the top of the cat tree — and Nikolai Devinovich being a weird twisty Orange Boi.

A cat sits atop a platform, looking up through a window
Someday all this will be mine — wait, it already is.
a fluffy cat with ivory fur stretches out on the carpet
You must now say “bi-i-i-i-i-ig stretch!”

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.

Here’s hoping your Caturday finds you as contented as our feline friend here. Feel free to talk about what’s going on!

When you’re as cute as I am you’ve got no worries.

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

And definitely not pining for the fjords.

Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Today reader Georgiana Y. shares her beautiful cats Storm and Skye:

I thought maybe you would enjoy a photo of Storm being an elegant void lounging on the chair and one of curious Skye wondering why I’m taking a photo of Storm and not one of herself because she’s much cuter.
