She's meowing indignantly because:
A. No kisses for 200 seconds
B. Mom's stressed about fascism
C. She's reminding people she'd be a superior president to Trump
D. HEY did u see that leaf that looked like an unladen swallow

2024 Recap: Cat Edition
The (forever) baby Norrie. There are photos of her with a better technical composition, but these three best capture her loving goofiness. She keeps asking when her moms will make her a TikTok account and doesn't understand this potential TikTok ban of which they speak.

Rita is my mother.

Wild take: I don't care about the body bits of folks sharing the bathroom; I care whether you're letting me use the bathroom in peace & minding your own business (& your business is not my/anyone's bits).
So mind your own business, transphobes.
