Happy Caturday! Enjoy Mudkip raging at a toy. He is one of the stray cats that Apoinsettia feeds in southern Florida. Might be too hot for him to stream today but if not, find him here www.twitch.tv/apoinsettia #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #SkippityBap #SwattingBeforeIdiotsOnline #CatToysCausingTrouble

A mostly brown striped tabby kitteh with white paws, chest, and belleh is under some kind of vehicle. An axle and two wheels can be seen behind him. He looks upset with a geometrical ball made from thick vines or thin branches. (might be silvervine) He is hissing, side-eying, and, seemingly, taking a swipe at the ball. Two brown leaves are on the asphalt in front of the ball. Another cat's white tail is blurry as they run away to stage right. The following two photos are extensions of this punishment to the ball for the insult paid to Mudkip. What can a ball do, or say, to cause such offense? Make it pay, Mudkip! Get it!

Follow-up of previous photo. Fleeing kitteh tail is out of frame. Mudkip is looking directly at the offending ball, still hissing, and the unsheathed-claws paw is getting closer to the rude ball. Bad ball, bad!!

Finale of the scolding from Mudkip and a closer view of the rage. He is in the ball's face (I assume it is the face, could be the butt for all I know. I do not have cat vision, unfortunately.), staring it down, and still hissing. Weaponized paw is now on the ground having delivered the skippity-bap. A solid catnip ball can now be seen inside the vine ball. I'm sure the ball is trembling in fear but can't really tell from a screenshot. That'll teach him to disrespect a feline! #JusticeIsServed

Is it good or bad that this is decades below my chronological age? 👀 I am curious to know my biological age, as well. poomang.com/en/t/brain_t...

Screenshot of my results of a mental age test: In thin blue space at top, it says, 'Mental Age Test X poomang'.
In white area that covers the majority of the space, it says, 'Mental Age: (smiling light bulb emoji) 21 "Dopamine addict seeking thrills". This is definitely 100% scientifically true. No doubt about it. This describes me exactly. I'm surprised I'm still alive; all the thrills I seek. (No, this is not sarcasm what do you mean how dare you question my integrity I am not lying stupid head why would I you don't know what you're talking about shut up you don't know me you absolute raggedy plastic dustcover)

I took this photo of tulips sharing a secret at Kingwood Center Hall and Gardens in Mansfield, OH, many springs ago. 🌸

In front of some grasses, one pink tulip is standing up straight and a second pink tulip is curving its head over close to the other. Are they whispering sweet nothings? Are they sharing gossip? Are they threatening them? Shh, I'll never tell!

I made dis 😃 (digital painting with the look of watercolor)

Painting of a white duck, with an orange bill, sitting in water in front of tall green grass and yellow, orange, and pink flowers. Her brown and tan duckling, with an orange bill, is by her side. Painted by me, from a reference, using ProCreate on my iPad. It has the soft look of a watercolor painting. #Quack #GotAnyGrapes #WaddleWaddle

Elvira, 2 or 3 years old in this pic but currently 13, is the Mistress of the Book Nook. Dandelion, not yet 1 year old in this pic currently 1, is bringing his "fuzzy" back to me to throw again like the good boy he is.

My wee girl. A tuxedo cat sits, looking straight at you (she sees all), on a light blue and white upholstered vintage chair. The chair has a rip in the front top seam of the seat cushion. Like I said, it's vintage! A blue and white quilt is folded over the back of the chair. Behind the chair is a shelf full of books of different colors and genres, stacked this way and that. A light brown cement dog can be seen laying Sphinx-like on the bottom shelf, looking off to stage right.

Picture of a living room with that annoying LVP flooring that is colored with different browns to pretend it's real wood but doesn't fool anyone. The bottom of the exterior door can be seen at the back, and we can see that this door has a large window that ends near the floor, specifically so that fur babies can see out easier. A pile of books on the floor next to the door partially hide a small painting of an eagle, letting it just peek over the stack and see what is happening. A wheel for a rollator manages to get in the picture too, in front of the book pile. BUT, the main attraction, the whole point of this photo, is the cat that is walking into the center of the pic, with a little fuzzy red ball in his mouth. YES, he plays fetch!! SQUEEEE! This fetching cat is mostly white, with a patch of gray that lays on the top of his head between his ears and down the back of his neck, like a cheap toupee. His eyes are yellow and his ears are shining pink in the light.

Here is my favorite photo of my boy DustBunny, when he was young and healthy. I miss him so much. 💔

My DustBunny, RIP. A plush-looking gray and white cat is laying on carpet, almost sphinxlike, in front of a wooden slatted basket. His little stuffed sock monkey is behind his left elbow. A green toy is not quite hidden in the basket. Dramatic shadows abound!
