A very fluffy orange and white tail protruding from a brown paper bag. The bag sits on discarded blue wrapping wrapper which in turn is on a deep red patterned rug.

Took me a hot minute to remember you had chickens, too. I thought they were some strange looking kittens!

A large orange and white cat sits on a desk with a laptop and screen. He takes up most of the available space.

I have an orange cate who keeps me company while I work. I had to find the setting to turn the track pad off when a mouse is plugged in. His big bunt kept driving the cursor! 😹

I grew up in greater Boston and have lived in Scotland for 20+ years. I have an accent neither side of the Atlantic recognizes 😂

Any tips for trimming furry pants? ✂️ My MC girl hates her bum being touched.

When you realize your punishments as a child (stay home, take a nap, go to bed early) are now your goals as an adult.

An orange and white cat stretches up to the countertop in a blue kitchen. He is very long.

The internet was absolutely a mistake but this is one of like five admissible pieces of evidence that it’s good actually
What I'm doing with my life
sometimes sheets can be propped up to be a cave but other times they lie flat like a ground. why is that
I'm looking for
• poposable thumbs
• Tall as counter
• Understanding of locks
• Warms
The first things people usually notice about me i am small enough to use pieces of furniture in different ways that are surprising to humans eg edge of the bed is actually a tiny step for me to use like a borrower
The six things I could never do without cold chickens, heated chickens, small dry pellet chickkens, chickens from a can with picture of cat on it, chickens from the sea (also in can but missing cat picutre on can), chicken from larger animals like beef
The most private thing I'm willing to admit iwill climb on top of you in the night and settle like a tiny rain cloud

And then there's the town actually called... SANDWICH! Which gives us this insanity. 🥪

What is truly hilarious is comparing the English pronunciations to how MA says them. "Harwich" is absolutely gobsmacking.

E. McNeil @emcneil.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Correct. How do people think it's pronounced? I'm from Quinzee so have skin in the game 😂

I also have a Pixel (6pro). I too am very clumsy with 2 mischievous cats; it's survived 3 years with minimal scratches and still getting OS updates. When a new release is due the previous version is often reduced. We're very happy together! ☺️

I wonder if 19th-century cats followed their owners into the outhouse.
