Weekend Open Thread

It’s another beautiful Caturday and reader Georgiana Y. shares this peaceful scene:

Skye and Storm are really enjoying having the patio door open so they can sniff all the nice smells and watch the birdies and squirrels in the back yard now that the weather is finally cooperating. I just love how they sit up with their front legs resting on the door frame with their noses pressed against the screen.

I got dibs on that plump robin.

Weekend Open Thread

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.

Black and white cat, viewed from overhead, sitting on a bedspread. We can see the underside of cat's foot, with an interesting marking.
What’s the marking on the foot that’s shaped so perfectly?

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Weekend Open Thread

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.

An orange cat lies on its side upon a green cushion.
How can you leave such cuteness?
