Hosting this event tonight at the Maumee Indoor Theatre, if you’re in the Toledo area! Should be a good discussion.

I don’t often use the recliner in Nunny’s den, but Arthur will find my legs and lay down on them no matter where in the house they are. #caturday

Regal as heck even with the blinding ugly paint in the laundry room #caturday
A white cat with brown tabby spots and green eyes sits, looking out across the room, on a pile of clothes on top of an old wooden dresser. The wall behind him is an obnoxiously bright yellow.

Disgruntled #caturday face. He was miffed by the selfie camera and seemed to think the cat in the camera might steal his lap time and neck scritches.

A white cat with brown tabby spots lays on his back on the top level of a grey cat condo in front of a large bay window. His paws are curled as though he is playing and one of his teeth is sticking out.

Despite the awkward position, he maintained the disdainful side eye. Probably because I’ve missed #caturday a couple times.

Life with Nunny: Watching Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on TCM while we’re eating dinner, because The Shawshank Redemption was too violent for her. She comments, while Brick and Big Daddy are arguing in the basement, “boy, these people sure have it roughy toughy.” 😂😂😂
A still from the 1958 movie Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, showing Burl Ives as Big Daddy sitting in a brown bathrobe in the foreground, and Paul Newman as Brick limping in the background, surrounded by dusty, expensive-looking artifacts. Both men appear distressed.

My favorite neighborhood cats, in case you wanted a #caturday break from Arthur, who is still my favorite.

Arthur’s favorite time of day is lap time #caturday
A white cat with brown tabby spots is stretched out and sleeping atop a pair of denim-clad legs. His face is turned back toward the camera and his chin is buried in one human knee, giving him the appearance of a Simpsons-like overbite.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

I didn’t post anything for Caturday this week, so here is a zebu stretching to lick his back leg in a manner that reminded me of Arthur. I don’t know if there’s a way to merge zebu and Monday to make this a thing.

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

This meme isn’t Arthur but it sure looks like him, and it accurately depicts his relationship with my spider plant that comes indoors in the winter.
A three-panel cartoon meme based on a Simpsons episode in which Homer continues to eat a rotting giant sandwich even though it makes him ill. The cartoon depicts Homer and Marge lying in the bed and Homer holding the sandwich, but Homer’s face is replaced with the face of a white cat with tabby patches on its head and ears, and the rotting sandwich with a spider plant which covers the image of Marge. The first panel reads, “I’d like to be alone with the spider plant for a moment.” Second panel: “Are you going to eat it?” Third panel: “…yes.” The cat’s tongue is sticking out in the third panel.

My most unfavorite Karen trait is when Karens want to Karen, but you’re being calm & polite, so they’ll try to call you out on a petty way that you’re not being polite, like not starting the conversation with “good morning” or not addressing them by their first name even though you don’t know them.

It’s not Caturday but as a miserable childless cat lady, I am always just in awe that this fuzzy little guy loves me so much that as soon as I sit down he makes a beeline for my lap, lays down head first, and curls up looking so safe and happy. All with 95% less work than parenting a human child.
A white cat with brown tabby spots is curled up on a pair of human legs in jeans. The light is dim causing the cat to appear slightly yellow-tinged. He is sleeping on his side with his head on one human leg and his chin on his soft white paw. His tabby tail is curled up across his front legs. He appears content and has a slight smile as he sleeps.

Stone cats for Caturday: I have no background on this memorial in Cleveland’s Lake View Cemetery & not sure if it’s a grave or just art. It’s in part of the cemetery where I don’t think there are burials & idk if it’s a memorial to a person or to cats. Also, Arthur currently sleeping on my lap.
Granite memorial stone with three levels. One stone cat sleeping on top and another stone cat laying on the second level, with one paw stretching down towards the bottom level. Text is carved on the bottom two levels but the only legible text reads “Capichioni” and “Chaikin” with a heart and pawprint between the two words. It is raining and the stone is in the woods with a large puddle behind it. Closeup of stone cat stretching down between second and third level of granite memorial stone in a rainy woods. The cat is covered in water droplets and the stone is streaked with rain. The cat is above a section of the memorial carved to look like a stylized stack of books, and the spines read, “The Universe,” “The Cat in the Hat,” and “The Earth.”Black stone cat on top of a granite memorial stone in the woods. Cat is curled up and sleeping with its chin on the tip of its tail, and its cheek on its front paws. It is raining, and the cat is shiny with water. A white cat with brown tabby spots is sleeping very close to the camera. His left ear pokes out toward the camera and his paw is under his chin.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Yesterday was a long day at work and I forgot it was #caturday until this morning. Luckily Arthur knew I needed snuggles.
A white cat with brown tabby patches is sleeping on my lap with one paw stretched out over my knee, as though he’s hugging it. His whiskers and one pinkish-white ear glow in the sunlight through the window. My fingers are buried in the fur on his back.
