A lizard? The white cat brought me a 2m long snake!

Small black cat curiously sniffing a live grass snake which had been carried upstairs into my brick floored kitchen by the white cat (mother of the black cat).

This is patently ridiculous. Surely even the most dedicated MAGA sees this?

A nonsense rant by Trump, not worth bothering with.

This is lovely!

Catch your own!

Small white and tabby three coloured cat lying (exhausted) on a first floor brick terrace after bringing home a young hare, not much smaller than the cat. When the cat had rested for a short time, she grabbed hold of her hare and disappeared for three days!

I don't usually have anything appropriate for #tongueouttuesday on the cat front, but this little visitor surely qualifies!

Dark tabby cat with his tongue out looking towards the camera, with a green background of weeds with white daisies and yellow dandelions.

Sad night, it will be the first which I have spent without my wonderful Featherpuss. Here is a pic of her, peeking out from a cupboard, and I liked the doorway through which I will remember her passing into her afterlife.

Chinese decorated chest, with one of the pair of doors ajar, and inside the chest is a long haired white cat looking very beautiful and slightly sheepish.

Snipped photo of a free living ginger cat posing regally on a balustrade, and in the background there is another building with two grand gold plated statue lions in a very similar pose on bigger balustrades.
The caption reads 'when you lie on your resume but still get the job'.

He didn't get to the piece of straw sticking out of his majestic tail!

Hairy black cat sitting in a white armchair with a brown cushion, his winter sized tail hanging over the edge of the chair in the foreground, with the cat behind, with a leg raised and his pink tongue busily washing his thigh

Mine's a scanner cat!

Large furry white cat lying on top of a scanner, giving the photographer a massive side-eye.

Now look what you have done!

I've only just discovered the #catchatbookclub hashtag, and felt compelled to share this with you!

Hairy white cat draped across an untidy pile of books, looking as if she is exhausted after having read every one of them!

Fluffy black cat sitting in a plant pot fixing his single beady eye on the camera.

Fluffy white cat perched in a plat pot staring straight at the camera with her yellow eyes.

I noticed this tiny clip today, and idly wondered if Branson's island counted as UK. Hearing Gordon Brown's demand for investigating Epstein's trafficking of females via the UK, I'm now idly wondering if the visa status of Epstein's 'friends' was 'important'.

Snip of part of an email exchange between Epstein's assistant and Richard Branson, naming (redacted) the visitors Epstein will bring to visit Branson on his island, and noting some of the visitors "don't have UK Visas"

Perhaps unexpectedly, we have San Leucio, adjacent to the Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy, predating Saltaire by 100 years.

Sallyoo@sallyoo· Feb 4

You are making stuff up! This is the best Google could find for a 'stretch-steed' 🥴

Sallyoo@sallyoo· Feb 3

I think the Epstein Farage pic is dodgy. Here is a photo of Epstein (alone) which is extremely similar.

Nah, he'll throw up one of these

What's this all about? Dirty tricks?

Clip from the Wiki page on the newly selected Labour candidate, saying that the page has been nominated for deletion.

It's the pose which brings to mind this photo of UK PM Liz Truss

Photograph of woman wearing very wide legged blue trousers and a blue jacket with an unclear background in white. It is easy to interpret the background as a lavatory pan, and the pose of the woman suggests she is approaching the pan, bottom first, anticipating using it. The woman became the Prime Minister of the UK for about a month.

I finally got so embarrassed by this 'useful box' that I chucked it out!

Long haired black cat lying on a string covered wooden box which he, and other feline residents over the years had completely destroyed!

If you had a lightweight chair/stool which the heat could pass through, then Jolene could get both warmth and view! 💡

Stool with straw coloured wickerwork seat, black painted legs, (other finishes available) low enough for a cat to easily jump onto, lightweight enough to move with one hand.

Here is a lovely cat, snapped at the Inari shrine in Kyoto.

Calico cat, with unmatched eyes, looking a bit nervous, snapped at the side of a shrine in Kyoto, Japan. On the right hand side is an orange/red column forming part of a very long colonnade,

The name that the script writers gave her is a bit of a clue, for those of us ancient enough to remember

Black and white photo of a famous British pin-up girl with blonde hair, short black shorts, and a pale off-the -shoulder tee shirt inadequately sized to accommodate her very large breasts, which were the reason for her Great Fame in the 1950s.

Debauched cat #Caturday

Do not wake me, I have got my ear back to front.

Sallyoo@sallyoo· Dec 27

Cat (with hugely hairy tail) snuck into the fire while I was lighting it. Zero harm done, but the room now smells strongly of singed cat. She is an imbecile.
