Damn. You're either a great photographer or Bruno is handsome AF.

I'd make sure he doesn't have an OnlyCats account....

Meanwhile, autumnal cooling means the Race of the Fatties™ is on for another captivating season of drama.

Look at that picnic table and umbrella! That squirrel better appreciate what a nice person you are!

Got it shortly after dad passed, feeding the squirrels on the deck at his summer place in Wisconsin was a huge deal for him so we carry on the tradition...to my chagrine sadly, because the fat little bastards like to bury stuff in the raised planter you see in the background.

and that's where I keep growing Jeremy Clarkson's potatoes every year.

Jerks.

I saw a stray cat, err Kitten crossing the intersection the other day. Spoiler it made it back to the side of the road. All the cars stopped until it was in sight again. I wanted to pull over and try and bring it home, luckily my senses came back to me and I drove off.
My dog would have been okay with it, but not my fish or plants. And I don't think kitty would be okay with dog. So I wasn't calling Huston to tell them I had a problem.
The strays around me are well fed.

Meet UTurn,
Uturn has a bent tail that got caught in bike spokes a couple of times. Horrible situation, he had to calm down and back out of the mess he was in.

This is about as crazy as Coco gets.

I like crazy Coco's style. Sometimes having a mild mannered cat is a refreshing change.

JuneBug couldn't resist the warmth of the hearth, choosing it over her comfy bed, even.

600 million cats in the world, and then there's Bruno.

Bedtime with Bayek.

Hi folks
As longtime lurker here and after having gained a lot of useful info keeping my scooters healthy, I thought you might be interested in a happy feline outcome.
A 2'ish month old kitten was brought into my clinic choking, underweight and covered in fleas. The 'breeder' wanted it put to sleep as they had no funds for any investigation or treatment. She was a friendly vocal little scrap so I took the decision to take over ownership and treatment costs and would then find a home for her if all went well.
X rays showed an oesophageal obstruction which was the result of a congenital malformation of blood vessels from the heart causing a vascular ring abnormality.
This is a little out of my surgical skill range but one of my vet's partner is a specialist surgeon at the nearby university who agreed (was strongarmed) into doing some risky thoracic surgery. If the outcome without intervention is death we had little to lose.
Long story short, everyone stayed late, multiple nurses and vets got busy and things turned out very well. She came home with me that night since we have no 24 hour nursing provision at the clinic.
This was on Friday and by the next day she was eating, increasingly active and exploring. She is now called Dora the explorer.
It is now Tuesday and she has reverted to full time kittening, has slapped the dogs into place and is now a member of the pack and the family. It seems she's here to stay.

Wow. Good for you.

Thanks for sharing.

Britta and Topsy.

So crazy cat people are okay but not crazy cats. Hmm.

Quick update in soft focus.

#Bruno3121 decided chewing on my GTS was a good idea.

Carmen spies a tasty morsel.

Probably more tasty than things Bruno chews on

Guess he's decimated the mouse population already....

Our cat Jack, like most felines, finds warmth in the sun and moves where the sun shines. It is cold up here in Minnesota. Jack will be camped out in front of the heat vents. Even I have a small electric space heater under the coffee table pointed at my feet as I sit on the couch sipping a brandy watching TV in my mancave. My wife keeps it cool (I expect trying to save on the heat bill). Not for me and my tootsies.

Chrimmuscat.

It's reasonably related to the topic isn't it?

Technically not mine, Barney lives at Kavarna Kocicí in Prague. But he's having flashbacks again.

This is new…

Our cat would have chewed the ribbons.

Best we could do quickly

Sometimes the cat will not wait for the tree to be decorated. Or even assembled.

Fresh off chasing catnip mice...normally we play fetch but sir decided to just watch me throw them, sniff them, bat them around, then not bring them to me.

But of course good luck being disappointed in this face....

Nosy HOA karen mode.

Rescued this stray kitty last fall. Found him alongside the road digging a hole for shelter from the weather.

He put up one hell of a fight getting him into the car.

LMFAO! Good thing they can't see very well. I was hunting on a friend's ranch one morning and heard a strange noise. I looked down and one of those testy mothers was sniffing the air two feet from my ankle. That got my blood flowing! I froze and let him finish business and go back in his den then hauled ass out of there. They are a fascinating creature.

You don't have a waspatorium for those?

I was deer hunting in TX many moons ago over a peanut field. The original old farmhouse was still (sorta) there, so we used that as a ground blind. Unbeknownst to us, a porcupine had camped elsewhere in the house and scared the bejesus out of us when it awoke to go get some snacks from the peanuts adjacent.

Fun fact they sound like wild hogs. Let me tell you how much that made all three of us pucker.
