 There are deep sea isopods with legs like sea spiders. This is Paropsurus. IDK man. No idea WHAT is going on down there. Isopod literally means "same leg" like the legs are supposed to be "the same" Not... not "crazy out of control legs" Feels wrong to call it an isopod. More like a spindly-productus-sopod They are just making creatures up now to see if I'll buy in to it. Pica: rao rao  @futurebird Can you imagine the sheer nerve and chutzpah it takes to be a JUDGE for a cat fancy contest?? Not just judging one cat but dozens... as they all look at you, judging you back. "My understanding is humans are supposed to have more hair than you do on top of your head." "Your body lines are not very elegant." "Skin lacks a healthy luster, arm and leg lengths are not what we expect for a top grade human." "even for a human, this one makes a lot of pointless noise." -the cats probably Every cat is perfect in every way. But, Pica is the most perfect in the most ways of them all. She's all cat. The Most Cat Cat. And that is the sum total of my "judgements." Pica enjoying a sunbeam. #cats #catsofmastodon #picathecat #catcrime #picaCrime #picaLaw

 My regular reminder that Pica DOES NOT have a "degree in sleeping" and she cannot issue valid diplomas. She does claim to offer "courses" that "teach to to sleep better" but there is no evidence that these courses do anything and her LLC isn't an accredited university or college. Under no circumstances should you give her your SS number, credit card number or... really even your age or height. You have been warned. Breaking News! After accusations of “treating her staff like cat food dispensers” Pica has posted a rare apology: “I’m very sorry some people had to get offended, and for the confusion this controversy has caused my many loving fans. I do not think of anyone as a mere food dispenser. My staff has other uses ... such as petting me. Hopefully, we can put this all behind us now.” #picathecat #picaLaw #cats #catsofmastodon

 @futurebird The look on her face is more like WHEN I BECOME PRESIDENT I WILL DEPORT ANYONE WHO DID NOT FEED ME! ;) I've discovered a charming little YouTube channel with analog kitten videos and wistful electronic music. I like to intersperse them in my playlist like commercials with the videos I decide to watch. Check it out this is the good stuff: Poor Pica. She loves being held, and petted and squeezed, and will come to me to get picked up and comforted... BUT she gets a little scared, or maybe finds it fun to run when you reach out to grab her. So she keeps circling back and almost getting picked up over & over & over, until she's a just a little too slow. She gets caught. Then she goes limp in your arms and purrs and is so happy. What an absurd animal! (I don't pick her up for a day or two? she starts sadly meowing more & more...)

@futurebird @palin No question, it’s a silly kitty game. Our multicolored 11-year-old poofball does exactly the same thing. @futurebird Our Jiji runs out the back door the minute it’s opened for any reason. My husband does his Chinese lessons every Saturday morning, and Pica, our cat always tries to join in, which his teacher finds hilarious. I guess she sees him struggling to make noises correctly and she's like "pfffth this is simple. I can make noises. Here I will do it for you: raw mrow raw! See? Like that!"

@futurebird His teacher should send Pica a certificate saying that she's fluent in "Cat-tonese". So I just found a lucky ring (one of the rarest items in the game) in a crate! BUT, it bounced out of bounds (and I don't have on a magnet ring on... nor a way to go get one) 🥲 *rage quitting the 'calming' 'farming game'*

"This interview will mean Harris facing some of the tough questions about immigration and her role at the border and the positions she had in the primary 4 years ago." Cool. This is fine. But, just as a little benchmark, you know, for fun, what are the "tough questions" for the other guy? Like ... which one would you even start with? @futurebird He really doesn't 'answer' questions, and is never held accountable for his responses. So she is supposed to give a serious answer to a tough question, and get picked apart for days on her response, while he just bullshits his way through another 'news' conference? She should ignore the press until they get equal treatment. The radishes never really grew ... but Pica was still very happy with the grass. Here me out...  @futurebird Just don’t be surprised if your cat starts demanding treats as ‘mouse fees’ for all that hard work! When I said I was worried about my cat "going down a rabbit hole" I was thinking more about the risk of getting fleas or rabies from a wild animal... not this... Anyway check your kitten's browser history. @futurebird Please avoid stalking your kittens. They deserve their privacy too! 🐾 😸 I think we should classify cats as "cartilaginous beasts" (of land with fur) they are just so ... rubbery. There is something convergent in the "vibe" of the sharks and the cats IMO. Some hidden deep affinity. @futurebird Pretty baby, poor baby. I hope you've given her food and petting by now. “she won’t let me use the mouse” -husband |

@futurebird Am I counting 8 legs? It's a spider?
@futurebird
I think you should put a CW on this, it's quite horrific to look at and might trigger some people's arachnophilia.
