In lieu of all the CATurdays I've missed posting. . .

Here is one humongous Maine Coon; If it straightened its tail, that's 40" of cat! 🙀 😹

Thank you for letting us know, Jessi.
We all missed your good energies.

BONUS CLIP of the friggin' cat, just for you 😹

(only reason it didn't swat the long-suffering Good Cat on the bottom berth is because Paha Peppi was being yelled at Not to)

@CATurday part deux:

Meanwhile, the Orange Terror no care.
Let Vet do all her poking, prodding, vitals - no reaxn.

Cat has own agenda. Cat no like hoomin electronics or gadgets.
Cat taking inventory of the above in doctor's office whole time, and forming priority list of order in which to destroy😹

#CATurday

The small Good Cat knew what the carrying cage meant -- the Vet. Poor little cat had to be sedated with general anesthesia in order for the Vet to conduct its medical (cat OK, by the way) :

Had to dig into last month's archive to find a semi-decent cat clip🙀😹

In this clip, cat is also behaving badly.
That's the fluffy puppy's bowl.
Cat's bowl is on the other side of house.

Even when cat is caught in the act of raiding dog's puppy chow, and scolded, cat no care. Doesn't run into hiding. Instead, cat lingers so it can go at it again🤦‍♂️

I know it's #CATurday but cat has been behaving very badly.
Here the Maine Coon bullies the smaller Good Cat, and hogs a new toy🫣

#CATurday Redux 🐾

This is a new chair. High-design. Scandinavian.

Cat satisfied with this novel seat. Likes the leather and see-through sides.

Cat never leaves his new perch. If hoomins try to sit, he attacks.

Thus, none of the 5 other beings in household have had a chance to review the chair 😹

It's true!
Cat has never knocked over or swatted at that blue Alvar Aalto "Savoy" vase.
Gingerly makes its way around famous Scandinavian art glass, as well as the 🇫🇮Arabia display to its left. Cat is smart 😇

Orange one here (Maine Coon) was once like this kitten, too.
But ever since then, it's all been downhill 😹🙀😻

#CATurday Special ACT II 🎬

In spite of everything I've ever posted about this cat (in jest :), I love this cat 😻

And even though Peppi attacks C.E. gadgetry and other household-matter, I know cat can't help it. Cat just acting out its nature. In fact, I appreciate Peppi's high degree of ferality 😼

#CATurday Special (extended cut 🎬)

Note how big a/f cat doesn't touch the Iittala, Arabia or Nuutajarvi art glass? Cat knows that That's handblown crystal💯

He only effs with the water glass (he no care -- knows it's merely factory-glass💡😹).

Cat is smart❗️

Dog update 🐶

Fitz is back, and I have his full attention 😹
At this point, dog might as well move in ⤵️

#CATurday redux

Cat catching up on sleep after waking up both floors of the house at *3:30 AM* this morning🤯❗🤦‍♂️

Cat totally satisfied with job well done 😹
July 14, 2025 at 2:25 AM
I kind of grok why you like dogs.
Rescue-dog sitting today . . . A) Dog is smart B) Dog highly-attuned, across all spectra, to you (or in my case, host of the day :)

Cat, on the other hand, no care. At all 😹

(now found in the freak'n sauna🤦‍♂️) ⤵️

Drone-view of dog (Fitz) ⤵️
July 12, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Supposed to be #CATurday

So little did I know I'd land the job of taking care of dog today⤵️
July 12, 2025 at 8:09 PM
In addition to all the other places I've listed where cat is Not supposed to be, on this occasion caught it in the safe 🤦‍♂️🙆‍♂️

Cat no care 😹

Jessi, in honor of your love of dogs . . .
Here is rescue-dog Fitz update. (yesterday)
Fitz is doing 2 things:

1. Lying about, impersonating a cat 🐶
2. Seems to me dog is also smiling 😹
July 12, 2025 at 3:26 AM
Jessi, this sh_t goes on and on Any day . . .
And it's *always* the orange one❕🤦‍♂️ 🙀
July 10, 2025 at 3:47 AM
😹😹

Paha Peppi liked this video, and wants to remind hoomins that "we don't act like this as a pose for funny photos -- we do it because it feels good at the time. We're freaking *cats*❗⤵️
July 8, 2025 at 9:57 PM
Since you ♥️ dogs so much, here's the weekend update about rescue-dog I sometimes sit (Fitz):

1. Dog heroically and fully recovered from major dental surgery (had zero pain management on board).

2. Fitz made a rare friend; Usually he barks his head off at all other dogs ⤵️

( p.s. cat no care 😹 )
