For today’s Caturday open thread, reader Tara O. is back with a follow-up on the mysterious Universal Cat Distribution System:

Since my email from December 8th, explaining my first delivery from the UCS, the grey kitty has returned. I’ve been calling him Smokey, and this past weekend he has finally decided he can trust me. This is the best photo I could take of him because he moves so much. In addition to the fabulous toe beans, please note the lovely ear tufties.

It’s Caturday, which can only mean one thing: Somewhere, someone is being judged by a cat. Today it’s reader Georgiana Y., who writes “I have a feeling I’m not up to Minnie’s standards sometime.”

Fortunately, judgmentalism can be very tiring, and soon Minnie requires a nap.

Time for a Caturday cuddle puddle as reader Squiddy shares a serene moment she captured last Christmas:

This is Christmas morning and my sweet little nuggets are welcoming in the holiday slowly. They had a busy morning of … also just taking a nap. They are my best Christmas present every year.  

Welcome to the Caturday open thread, and today reader Tara O. shares an image of her cat being a real pill.

Attached is a picture dedicated to Georgiana and all other cat mommies who have give daily pills. Here is Jacques who managed to pitooee his thyroid pill right out of his pill pocket. Of course this means he gets another one.
