It’s the weekend! Time to get all your cats in a row, like the furry family sent by reader Georgiana Y.:

In front is Skye the 2 years old baby, behind her is Minnie the 17 years old grand dame of the house and at the back is Storm 3 years old also known as BB or Black Beauty. And if you’re thinking wow that bed is really full of fur, it’s because it is their bed, nobody else uses it and that’s the way they like it.

p.s. We do wash all the covers once a month even if they don’t like it and are mad about it for a day LOL!!

Welcome to the Caturday open thread! Today reader JEC shares a photo and a great tip for enjoying the weekend that really only works if you’re a cat.

Mrs Hattie Perkins looks forward to the weekend. She recommends draping yourself around the neck of someone you love — or just kind of… like — for a good snooze.

Or if you just met them, that’s fine.

Welcome to the weekend! Joining us this Caturday is Julius, lurking in his most favorite place, according to reader Susan H.:

The face of an orange striped cat hides among beautiful green leaves in a garden.
Well, hello there.

He loves to play in the landscaping plants, and he doesn’t have an “off” switch- he just keeps going until he’s panting. It makes for some great expressions!

And Now, An Ode to Grass

Oh verdant blades that rise in air / Green and tall beyond compare
After my meal of fish and kibble / Upon your tender leaves I’ll nibble
And then, my hunger thusly sated / Prepare to do that which I’m fated
I’ll creep indoors, quiet as a mouse / And hack up a hairball in the house
