...and then I followed up with a post of a scruffy coke addict #cats #catsOfMastodon
An older black and white cat licks the outside of a clear fountain drink container with the Coca-Cola logo on it. The poster typing this alt text thought it'd be funny to call this image "Coke Addict'. Humor him, please. Eventually he will come up with a funny joke.

A social media post by someone calling themselves @zeagan: "As a childless adult it is my duty to embrace hobbies and pastimes that my peers cannot, as they have sacrificed their free time to maintain the population. I must vibe and chill, and do fun things, in their honour."A grey cat looks up at the camera and advertises the success of their life strategy: 

"a year ago I lived in a bush and hunted my own meals. Now I have a passive income, my own house and a personal chef. Follow me for more financial advice."
