Today: Jasper is rehearsing for a lead role in the #film "The Cats who stare at Chestnuts" It's getting an mystery #movie about #paranormal #hedgewatch skills... No spoilers, though—you'll have to watch it for yourself! #catsoftwitter #catsofx #catsofbluesky

Yay for fossils, go #Calcite! #MinCup26

Fossils from the Upper Devonian, mainly little corals and a bivalve, ob a wooden board.

Oh no it's not looking good for #Calcite 🙀 Think of all the fossils we would not have without the pawsome #mineral calcite

CatWithGeologists @catwithgeologists.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Today it's #Calcite against the extremely rare #mineral #Julienite at #MinCup26😻 We vote for calcite in memory of Ornella 🌈 who voted for calcite because of its use as #compass 😻 due to its high birefringence😻

Today it's #Gypsum against #Pyromorphite at #MinCup26 😻 Look this pawsome lake in #Switzerland was formed because the #mineral gypsum can form #karst 😻 Thus thanks to gypsum Simbalito could have this Pawsome subsurface adventure 😻 #DoesItCat ? Yes🐾

In today's #MinCup26 duell it is #Hafnon against #Putnisite we didn't know either of them, but we see that the #mineral Hafnon has a simple formula Hf[SiO4]. Just simple enough for our humans😽 and that it is the only known mineral with #Hafnium as main ingredient🙀 #DoesItCat ? Yes🐾

CatWithGeologists @catwithgeologists.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Today it's #Talc against #Stichtite at #MinCup26 😻 This is easy for us Talc is representating the fluffy end of the Moths scale that measures the hardness of a #mineral 🙀😹 Being fluffy is one of the supaw powers of #cats So #DoesItCat ? YES🐾 #PawForScale #geologywithcats

Today it's #Quartz vs the newly discovered #Asagiite 😻 Sorry for the new #mineral but quartz makes the #clocks tick that remind our humans to serve us breakfast, lunch, dinner & the other meals & there are many. #DoesItCat ? Yes #MinCup26 #geologwithcats #geology

Jasper is reading his watch to figure out how many seconds he needs to wait until the next meal is served

CatWithGeologists @catwithgeologists.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Today, it’s #cuprite versus #orpiment in the #MinCup26. Easy! The #mineral orpiment contains arsenic, & that is very toxic to #cats. But cuprite is a #copper oxide that often forms on #bronze statues, & bronze statues exist primarily to pay homage to cats. #DoesItCat ? YES #geologywithcats

Today's duell at #MinCup26 is #Bournonite vs. #Vesuvianite 🐾 Our social media assistant is also working with #volcano things. Thus we vote for the #mineral named after the famous #MountVesuvius 🌋 #geologywithcats #Vesuvius #geology #mineralogy

Today it's #Anorthite vs. #Sphalerite at #MinCup26 😻 Anorthite got it's name from Gustav Rose. The name means not at right angles 😹 Since we appreciate if things aren't to tidy/ordered we go for Anorthite instead of the cubic Sphalerite #DoesItCat ? Yes🐾

CatWithGeologists @catwithgeologists.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Today it's #Erythrite vs. #Skutterudite at #MinCup26 😻 This is again difficult because we don't know either of them🙀 We however found a #DoesItCat criterion. Transparency & translucency for Skutterudite is opaque-like it is for us- the mysterious #cats 😽 so Skutterudite it is

CatWithGeologists @catwithgeologists.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Today the vote at #Mincup2026 ( now with correct hashtag 🙀😽) was a difficult decision because we couldn't figure out a #DoesItCat criterion for the #mineral 🙀 Neither for #Azurite nor for #Smithsonite . However in Germany #Azurite is also called Bergblau (mountain blue) and we like the mountains...

Oh that is beautiful 😻 We haven't heard this name before and searched for it 🐾 probably it's a marble 😻

Maybe you find another of your favourite minerals on the list 😻

😻 Wonderful 😻 We just checked the competitors Phrenite is unfortunately not on the list. www.mineralcup.org/2026/bracket The humans found also Phrenite but not as beautiful as yours 😻

😻 in our place we know some farmes where you can buy potatoes this way. With the flowers it unfortunately doesn't work. Lots of stealing... We don't know places where you can buy cheese this way. If it works it's just great. This is Felix he works in the cow shed 😻

Today the humans visited during #hedgewatch this famous #refrigerator 😽 They visit it every time when they are in #Switzerland 😻 You take the #cheese and put the money in😻 It's great. The humans know even the #cows and the #farmer 😻 & the #cat 😻 They are very nice person's

Today I visited again the #Aletschglacier 😻 I love this place although the #glacier is very sick😿 I went during my #hedgewatch to the lucky #stone depot/#Glücksstein depot and put many #rocks in for all our friends 😻 Look how full it is😻 #Alps #Aletsch #climatechange #climate #catsofbluesky
