It’s Caturday and time for the open thread. Greeting us are Penny (right) and Teller. “Miss Penny disapproving of the camera as usual,” notes sender-inner Muppet2171.

It’s Caturday, and reader Georgiana Y. treats us to a return visit from Minnie and Storm.

We lower the temperature at night so Minnie’s favourite place in the morning is under the cat tree next to the warm air vent.

Storm is waiting for a belly rub and she will stay like that as long as it takes.

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.
