Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov was instrumental in deciphering Mayan script. His whole life he tried to be co-credited with his cat Asya but his editors always refused. In 2012, the Mexicans honored him with a monument that included his beloved cat.

@semiotic_pirate As a linguist who specialized in an Indigenous language and who loves their cats, Knozorov has been my hero for a long while. Didn't know about this statue but I'm so glad it exists. @semiotic_pirate His wikipedia page also has a picture of him with Asya. I think he would want it that way. #Caturday morning. Asher is asking for 2nd breakfast. #CatsOfMastodon #CaturdayEveryday #CatLovers #CatsOfTheFediverse #CatContent #FediCats #caturday #catsofmastodon Jetzt haben sich meine neuen Untermieter seit einer Woche eingelebt. Stumpy ist schon recht mutig und lässt sich auch kraulen, Whisper (der gar nicht so leise ist) verhält sich noch schüchtern, spielt aber schon mal (auf Distanz) mist. Aber zusammen toben sie schon ganz schön durchs Haus :) Und es wirklich voll schön wieder Katzen im Haus zu haben! My sister sent me a couple more photos of her cat Kolka, a former rescue she got from the cat shelter here in Hveragerði. A masterful blepper. #caturday @baldur Our cat showing you the beautiful pumpkin my flatmate carved. :3 (the candles are LED candles! :D) It seems that next door's cat Lady Oblong the Destroyer has discovered that she does not need to judge us from below on our front lawn. She can also judge from on high via our back garden. She has also had a new haircut, which we're calling "privy carpet chic". 10/10 Disgruntlement. No notes.

@georgepenney Now imagine waking up from your afternoon nap, with that cat sitting on your chest and giving you THAT look.
@georgepenney @georgepenney I think she's pissed about the haircut. HIDE ALL THE SCISSORS IMMEDIATELY! when the crushing weight of expectations start to show on you, like physically @ElleGray I can't focus on the cute kitty because all the books have their spines facing the wall like they did something bad and needed a time out I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon. She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 15 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle to comprehend large numbers. Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

@lowqualityfacts … Those appear to be cats. You should post pictures of dogs or perhaps echidnas, to get cat pic boosts. @lowqualityfacts She's forgetting that cats can have accounts too. Low quality fact: The number of people + number of cats + other random species that are cat fans is greater than 10 billion.
