I don't have a new photo for #InternationalCatDay, or #Caturday, for that matter, so I'll post one of Molly Christmas from this winter when she was trying to keep her nose warm.
Absolutely true, Croatians, too. visitcroatia.com/krampus-the-...
Something like 80% of Israelis approve of actions in Palestine against the indigenous Palestinian population, viz. Photo from Haaretz. The sign reads: Hating Arabs isn't racism, it's values.
With a whiff of real incontinence, And the ripe air of true flatulence, Donnie gave out the gold, And if truth is ‘ere told, ‘Twas done without any accidents. Yahoo Sports image
Molly Christmas looks up at me from under the easy chair footstool in my office, wondering if I'll ever do something interesting on #Caturday. #CatsofBluesky
When the covers are thrown back in the morning, Molly Christmas lies half buried in the rubble on #Caturday. #CatsofBluesky
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” ― William Shakespeare, Hamlet Photo provenance unknown; I'll post it if I find it. Taken at the greatest fireworks show on earth.
The squirrel taunts Rocky on #Caturday -- and the Fourth of July no less. #CatsofBluesky. This photo is few years old, but it's scene that repeats itself from time to time.
Riley Gaines, the world's sorest loser, celebrates sole possession of 5th place.
Rocky has always been good to Molly ever since she came home as 1 pound kitten. Two-and-a-half years later, she is still small. He hasn't done it for a while, but when Molly used to finally get on Rocky's nerves, he'd just sit on her on #Caturday, or any other day, for that matter. #CatsofBluesky
@prepekka98.bsky.social and others were discussing the side ear phenomenon this week, so I thought I would publish Molly's semi-implementation of it on #Caturday. #CatsofBluesky #MollyChristmas
Here's another cousin of Molly and Rocky. It's Sir Chubbington, Chubbs to his friends. He's a 20+ lb. farm cat with serious responsibilities. Photo by my daughter-in-law. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky
He killed two people in cold, premeditate blood, and shot up two more. I don't favor the death penalty - I'm glad he won't suffer it - but the rationale here is bullshit. If Boelter had killed, say, Tom Emmer, who doubts the result would be different? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/u...
Three Cat Night on #Caturday. Alternately, it's Yin and Yang but Who's the Third One? These are cat cousins to Rocky and Molly; the photo is by my daughter-in-law. #CatsofBluesky

Molly looks out the window. Big skylight light source = soft portrait. This was taken when she was about a year old; she two and a half now, and she tipped the scales at a whopping 5.8 pounds at her last vet visit. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #MollyChristmas
This is an inside political joke from Minnesota from fifteen years ago, but it still resonates here. Photoshop by Ken Avidor.
"Wool is a girl's best friend," says Molly, on #Caturday. #CatsofBluesky #MollyChristmas
Come on, Sen. Rick Scott's company ripped off Medicare/Medicaid to the tune of $1.7 billion. Don't give me this 'unprecedented' bullshit. www.startribune.com/aimee-bock-s...
I won't leave this warm stack of towels; I won't, says Rocky on #Caturday. #CatsofBluesky #Rocky
As last week's #Caturday photo suggests, Rocky and Molly are great pals. Molly has always been crazy about Rocky, but in the first few days after Molly came home, the feeling wasn't mutual. #MollyChristmas #Rocky #CatsofBluesky
