She let me balance my phone on her butt so I could read. Cute and useful.
Close up shot of a light colored calico cat with a pink nose and yellow-green eyes, one white paw tucked under her chin. She’s sitting on a blanket-covered knee, just barely visible in the bottom of the frame, and the top corner of a dark-haired white woman’s face can be seen over her shoulder.

No pizza. Only pets.
A light colored calico cat with yellow eyes sits on top of a closed cardboard pizza box on top of a glass top stove. She looks straight into the camera, her expression clearly saying, don’t even try it. Her tail hangs down in front of the oven door.

Obsessed with this jaunty-elbowed sitting position. What is this??
A black cat with a subtle grey tabby stripe sits in a red cat bed on the seat of a lavender chair, gazing past the camera with yellow eyes. She’s curled on her side, with one front leg hanging over the edge of the cat bed, elbow bent and resting on the chair in a distinctly person-like way. Frankly, it looks at bit fake.

Moved the cat bed onto a chair, suddenly she’s obsessed.
A light colored calico cat sits curled up in a round red cat bed, on the seat of a light purple armchair. Her nose is pink with a brown splotch, and her chest and front legs are white. She is not looking into the camera but obviously does know it’s there.

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Children's Librarian: Okay everyone, we are not pouring our cups over each other's heads! That is not how we treat friends!

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Collection Development Librarian: we bought the cup ten years ago and it hasn’t been touched in three. Toss it

She always looks a little bit like she’s not sure how she got here.
A black cat with a subtle tabby stripe and yellow eyes sits on a green bedspread. Her paws and tail are tucked, and her eyes are wide and a bit confused.

A very soothing shape.
A light colored calico cat, curled into a perfect ball with her nose tucked under her front paws and her tail curled around her head. Underneath her is a black cloth grocery bag that’s probably covered in cat hair now.

I don’t know how this is comfortable, but she’s purring, so what do I know.
A light colored calico cat lying on a person’s bare legs, eyes closed, looking extremely relaxed. Her neck is resting right on top of a laptop power cable.

Oh, were you using this?
A light colored calico cat with yellow eyes sits comfortably on a pile of white tissue paper, looking into the camera with zero apologies. A Christmas gift bag is just visible in the corner of the photo, and a tag reading “happy holidays” peeks out from under the tissue paper.

She’s on a diet, okay. We’re working on it.
A chubby black and grey tabby cat lies on her back on a purple sheet, her front paws curled against her body, her tail tucked in front of her. She stares straight into the camera with yellow eyes. Her fur is thin over her lower belly, with pale pink skin showing.

Hello out there.
A light colored calico cat with a white front and a splotchy pink nose stares up from a weathered wooden floor, looking directly into the camera. Her face looks gigantic, and her paws look tiny.

Can’t sleep so here’s Moxie in the laundry.
A light colored calico cat with a white front and green eyes sits inside a white metal dryer, half buried in an assortment of clean clothes.

Absolutely not what I ordered.
A black cat with a subtle gray tabby stripe and bright yellow eyes sits in an open cardboard box on its side on the floor, only her head and upper body visible. Her front paws are tucked. She is not looking at or acknowledging the camera.

Sleepy baby.
A muted calico cat snoozes on a deep red couch cushion, her tail tucked and one front paw stretched out. Her toe beans are just barely visible. Behind her is a throw pillow with a bright embroidered pattern.

okay, we're starting with this

Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already!

Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting)

Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up

A black-and-charcoal-gray tabby cat with striking yellow eyes sits on a green painted nightstand, gazing past the camera. Behind her on the nightstand are a hardcover book, the full cover not visible, and a blue ceramic vase of colorful cloth flowers.

A muted calico cat with greenish eyes and a pink nose sits cozily in a Sephora delivery box, looking straight forward but ignoring the camera.
