Flowering Quince @coastal-quince.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I saw one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Dot the Kitten and Baby the Black Cat were playing tag. I’m not sure who was chasing who, but Dot ended up running under Baby’s belly and Baby who was also running full tilt ended up briefly high centered on the kitten as if she was riding her. 121
