apparently it's international rabbit day. Here are my sister-in-law's buns

a caramel-colored rabbit cuddled against a larger black rabbit. Both rabbits' ears are high and listening, and their postures are relaxed. They are alert for treats.

somebody online *insisted* that Nebula is some variety of rare Thai royal cat breed, when she's obviously a purebred moggy of the American goober variety.

I forgot I bought this (reproduction) postcard a while ago (cc @catsofyore.bsky.social )

postcard with an old photograph of a (calico?) cat sitting on a stool wearing a dunce cap. The caption reads "the pride of the school". The postcard doesn't indicate the year of the original photo, if known.

It's CALLISTO DAY! Eight years ago today, a very fuzzy stripey mutant glommed onto me at the shelter and refused to let go. As you can see, she had a hard time adjusting to being a housecat.
