Two gentlemen visitors today… The black cat initially seems friendly but hisses to warn you away. The black & white cat has the tiniest meow ever. Both have received suitable snacks! #Greek #CatsOfMastodon

A miniscule tomato, only slightly bigger than a petit pois! It does have a jolly red colour though

I want to know when the clankers have been writing code in GitHub repos. I've blocked Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, but I guess I'm missing loads - what other agents do people block?

Blocker user list in my GitHub moderation area. It's got Claude, Codex, Cursor and Grok in there, but I'm looking for more

Just cooked a very acceptable tomato bacon pasta in what became the flippin’ night before I knew what was happening. I ate my portion direct from the pan as only appropriate in such situations

It’s very dark! You might just be able to make out my camping stove 😂

I don’t know what was going on here… Sun through leaves, reflections off the colander on the floor? But I like it…

Got any red peppers? (Stares hard at me, then at the chicken) #CatsOfMastodon

Tiggie - a very starving kitten - stares hopefully at me, waiting for some raw chicken to perhaps, possibly, be given to a poor cat who’s not eaten for at least 10 minutes

Turnip is in his happy place; the secret room, aka the loft. He’s clambered everywhere and now has his face and whiskers absolutely covered in cobwebs and dusty smuts #Caturday

What’s this? A cheque in the post? OMG, money beyond my wildest dreams!

Extract from a letter that says: “you were due a partial refund of your final monthly payment because of a system error.
In this letter, you'll find a cheque for £1.09 to cover your partial refund.”

What’s that? Yes, I am trying to get some work done with a fully grown cat wearing a cone perched on my shoulder like a parrot. Yes, it is quite inconvenient… #CatsOfMastodon

Human! I require feeding… And I require the freshest of water… #CatsOfMastodon #caturday

A very hungry cat who definitely needs feeding an hour before he is normally fed

And a massive pile of knackered cables plus some hopefully good patch leads

Scattered on the floor are two piles of cables. One pile is proper junk - cut ends, old telephone cable, random leads. The other is a big pile of hopefully useful cat5 patch leads
