@dan I love it when they do a symmetry like that! 2 of mine did something similar the other day.

Exciting #caturday news: @irene and I are coping with our unwellness by adopting this cute guy! This will increase the number of paws in our household by 33%!

We’re thinking he looks like a Miso, but other name suggestions are welcome!

The gym cat concept never really took off because Max, although an enthusiastic coach, was never a great spotter.

Max has now bitten and destroyed his second laptop screen, out of indignation that we have been paying attention to those rather than him. (This is the vet’s professional assessment.)

He is still a very good boy. (Also the vet’s professional assessment.)

Minion thinks he is hidden.

…Minion is not our smartest cat.

#cats #catsofmastodon

A fluffy white cat tries to hide in a cat tunnel. His face is sticking out through a hole in the side. His absurdly fluffy butt and tail are sticking out the back. He is not in any way hidden.
