Welcome to the Caturday open thread. Fans of Disney parks love to look for “hidden Mickey” shapes, but reader Tara O. shares one you’ll only find here in our chat room:

Please consider these pics of Butch’s foot pads, where clearly he is hiding Mickey Mouse.

Welcome to Caturday! Today’s guest, courtesy of reader Susan H., is a big boy taking a whole seat to himself:

We’ve had Julius the orange bobtail for just over a year now, and he’s grown into a big (16 pounds!) loveable goofball. He does occasionally get his turn with the brain cell — he’s very good about coming home when we call him, and he’ll sit on command! Every morning, he tries to keep me from leaving for work by posing like this when I say goodbye to him.

It’s such a nice day, so let’s take the Caturday open thread out on the road. Where shall we go?

It’s time for the Caturday open thread, and reader Georgiana Y. shares a glow-up of her beautiful cat Skye:

I can’t believe that Skye is already three years old! First photo is her at three months and second photo all grown up.
