Cold enough for ya? Today’s cat got tired of waiting for spring and decided to take matters into her own paws.

It’s another Caturday, so curl up, relax, and talk about whatever you wanna.

Another Caturday, another open thread, and yet… all is not well in Kittyland. Somewhere a cat has been mildly inconvenienced, as related by reader Sowmya D.:

Yesterday poor brave Maine Coon girl Ekaterina Velikaya was pushed to the point of misery by NOT getting more Yummy Wet Food when she demanded it.

Pictured — her tormented face during her sit-down strike. (Not pictured — the full bowl of kibble beside her that she didn’t want.)

Happy New Year, Cutetropolitans! Our first cat for 2026 is Mutz (rhymes with “puts”) from reader N. Fritz, reminding us to look both ways before crossing into the new year:

I think Mutz is trying to tell us that he’s not quite ready for 2026, keeping his options open to return to the warm familiarity of 2025!
