#tabby cats
Caught them cuddling. Was taking pictures when Juni’s lip got stuck after she yawned.
How many cats do you see? lol
WE SEE UR CRIME
[Id: a Twitter post with the caption “Merry Christmas here’s my cat getting busted for taking a cinnamon roll two seconds after we told him no” above two images.
First Image: A lopsided picture of a small wooden fold-up table with a plate of cinnamon rolls on top. A naughty cat is standing on his hind legs, pawing at a roll. Behind him is an out of focus fully decorated Christmas tree.
Second Image: Everything is exactly the same except Naughty Boy Cat has noticed the camera and retracted his paw. His face betrays panic and, I hope, guilt.
End Image Description.]

[ID: a Twitter post with the caption “Who needs a picture of my cat napping with a sweet potato in a salad bowl this morning?”
Below this caption is a picture of an adorable tabby cat in a salad bowl cuddling with a sweet potato. The kitty looks like they are taking a 10/10 nap, very content and happy baby. End Image Description]

[Image Description: two pictures taken in sequence. The first shows a tabby cat trying to play with a pair of silicon salad tongs. In the second image, the tongs have closed around the cat’s head. He clearly regrets his mistake. End Image Description.]
Who can spot the other kitty?
Whatcha guys talking about
I think he’s trying to tell me something
Shh you’ll wake them
I went to Cat Camp on Sunday to check it out, buy some stuff for my cats (er, me), and see Jackson Galaxy’s keynote. Little did I know that about 15 minutes after I arrived, Jackson Galaxy himself came out to his foundation’s table to sign pictures and take photos with people.
When it was my turn, I thanked him for all he does and shook his hand, took a photo, and then asked him as briefly as I could what I should do about getting Ares and Playbill to get along - since Playbill had started to treat Ares like prey. He asked a few additional questions and then told me that they’re not ready to be in the same room yet and to keep feeding them on opposite sides of the gate until they can eat and ignore each other. I shook his hand and left, elated, since I had no idea I’d even have the opportunity to talk to him.
So cool. He was the nicest.
I bought lots of toys for the furmonsters, donated some money to various organizations, purchased some cat wine from Apollo Peak, and bought a tank top with a meditating cat on it that says, “Meowwwwwwwm” with the literal Sanskrit translation of it below made by Squirrel Den Studio. (I mean, I obviously had to buy this t-shirt.) I also saw a talk with Lil Bub and her dude. To be honest, I’m not really familiar with Lil Bub, but I know more now, and she’s the most chill little cat ever, not to mention adorable. The Kitten Lady was there, too! But I also learned about some amazing stuff going on in the cat community that I wanted to share:
Littleman_Mika:A kitty who was born with a cleft palette. Her human is raising awareness for special needs cats.
The Cat Rescuers: A documentary about volunteers who TNR in Brooklyn. Look for it in 2018!
Kitty in NY: In-home cat caregivers! If you’re moving, or renovating, or need to travel, this is an organization that will come to your apartment and take care of your kitty. Awesome idea, since most cats don’t travel as well as Lil Bub!
Catnip Nation: Another documentary in the making, this one is about how cat videos have taken over the internet. Cosign that.
My Cat Kyle: A big black and white kitty named Kyle sat in a harness on the table for this organization. Kyle was a kitty who once witnessed a murder in his home, so this organization is about the pets that get forgotten in the midst of domestic violence and how to help save them.
Only Maine Coons Rescue: A 9-month old Maine Coon say on the table of this organization and she was BIG. She was bigger than Playbill and this Maine Coon was only a kitten! You can obviously decipher what this organization does.
The Paw Project: This is an organization that was collecting signatures in an effort to get New York State to outlaw declawing. I gave them whatever money I had on me.
Polydactyl Cats: This is an awesome cat toy company that make toys for cats that “think outside the mouse.” I bought soy sauce and duck sauce packet catnip toys for my cats. LOVE this company. Their toys are amazing.
Square Paws:This is an awesome cat furniture company. They’re currently working on making NYC apartment-sized cat furniture which is great because all of their stuff is way too big for anyone’s apartment.
The Dancing Cat: This is “art for the moderately crazy cat lover.” They’re really fun photos and I would’ve bought one but I couldn’t find a tuxedo or brown tabby cat photo!
There were many others which you should totally check out on Cat Camp’s website. This was an awesome day and I can’t wait for next year!
Lil Bub and her dude.
Lil Bub!
The 9-month old Maine Coon kitten!
Jackson Galaxy’s key note!
