An absolute unit (affectionate)
Two cats spooning my leg. One stretched the entire length of my leg, from hip to foot. The other is curled up and appears to be half the size of the other cat. (He is actually longer, but thinner)

My sons. Please. They are starving
Two gray cats standing by their empty feeder bowls looking pleadingly at the camera. They have never been fed in their lives.

It’s Caturday and we’re doing poses and composition
A tabby gray cat sits next to a plastic plant, looking off to the middle distance. There is a green wall that matches his eye color behind him. A photo of the Berliner Dome under construction is hanging above the cat.

Thanks, I hate it #semantle
semantle top guesses: correct guess at #416, the first guess in the top 1000 at #321. A total of 5 guesses in the top 1000, and really nothing even close between guess #61 and #287, which are still not in the top 1000.

Some #Caturday delight for the timeline
POV: A solid gray cat is sleeping on top of a tabby gray cat’s outstretched legs. He also has his legs outstretched and his head is between his legs. The kitties are laying on a blue/green fleece blanket which is covering a human laying on a gray couch.

I’ll miss the Cambridge Brewing Company’s beer towers. This is most likely my last one 🍻
A large cylindrical tube containing roughly 8 cups of amber colored beer. The brewery is visible in the background.

I get if you want to put me on an “angry Jews” or a “talks too much about LLMs” list or whatever but seriously man wat
Lists I have been added to. The top one reads Parasitical Scum AI/LLM “researchers”, buttcoiners (sic), NFT scammers, and copy “left” dopes

Recently we’ve had this very productive lap sharing arrangement #Caturday
POV: I am laying on the couch with legs straight, covered by a blue-green fleece blanket. Mitzi the tabby gray cat is closer to the camera, looking to the side. Doobie the gray cat is sleeping on my feet. The rest of my living room is in the background.

I had to commit crimes in order to get out of bed this morning
POV: I’m lying in bed, my arm is stretched out. There is a gray cat snuggling up against me, his head is on my arm. A second, tabby gray cat is laying on his side on a pillow nearby, my hand is against his belly and head. Both kitties look blissed out.
