My late cat, Zo. I miss her so much ♥
Beautiful Zo!
Three little posers.
If ye wish to climb the stairs,
Then first endure our three glares.
For moving, we aren’t in the mood,
Though we may change our tune for food.
And a warning should our bowls lay empty,
Misfortune falls swift and plenty.
So please, appease us kitties three,
Lest ye wake in a bed of pee.
I love that someone wrote a poem about our cats. Thank you.
I think they’ll like it too - I fear they’re growing tired of me singing “Who’s a little black/stripey/silver cat with a fluffy little nosey-wose, who is a cat with a fluffity tail” to the tune of “Ride a White Swan” by T-Rex.
Hey, you’re welcome! I just thought it would be a logistical nightmare to get past the cats without disturbing them in your picture, and my brain ran with the idea.
On a related note: Check out the book “I Could Pee on This, and Other Poems by Cats”. It’s a little book of poems from the perspective of cats.
Looks great, thanks! :)
Looking at some of the Excerpts from “I could pee on this and other poems by cats”, I think ours are actually very well behaved (so far!).
One of them always tells the truth, another always lies, and the last one bites your hand when petting their belly. Though that might be all of them.
They actually all lie about different things.
Grey cat likes to lie to get into the room you’re in, if the door is closed, by pretending there’s a horrific emergency on the other side of the door. “Help! Help! Let me into the bathroom with you! My agony shall not subside until I have access to this room! I am ill! I am dying!”
Stripey cat likes to open cupboard doors, cardboard boxes and then hunt, kill and eat pouches of wet cat food, then pretend it wasn’t him at all, and he is hungry and hasn’t eaten for days.
Black cat likes a more traditional “I’ve not been fed yet, I am starving”, and also “I have no idea how the water bowl ended up upside down, but it looks like we’re out of water again”.
Thankfully, none of them will scratch or bite (at least not me or my partner). Black and stripey will both gently push your hand away when they’ve had enough tummy-tickle-time. Grey cat can be tickled for at least ten minutes. He just waits for you to get bored.
They sound like awesome cats!
So so cute!

That bengal in the middle knows (s)he’s the cutest one
They’re all boys (and twin brothers) and they’re all equally adorable, although maybe that one’s a little more equal than the others :)
Where is the moist old sweaty cat ?
Sweaty too ? (Also do you put cat sweat on yourself ?)
technically the catsweat thing is a running gag from the old Bloom County cartoon strip. cats dont actually sweat (maybe a bit through their paws), but realistically, no sweat.
Bloom County ran an arc where they extracted cat sweat and sold it as a remarkably effective ‘hair growth tonic’… until it later had the opposite effect and everyone who used it went bald
the word ‘moist’ just makes people uncomfortable, so of course thats what you name a social media server.
Neet it is kbin though right ?
close, using mbin. the fork seemed like a more reliable/continual development process.
If i may ask why not lemmy?

My sweet Lana, who’s currently thousands of miles away, with my fiance.
She knows you’re watching her sleep.
A long-dead cat for your pleasure. She arrived on my doorstep a starving kitten; after extensive travel in New Zealand she went to live in Canada, where she apparently lived to a ripe old age.
What a sweetie.
She was quite a character.
Danger tummy.
Hypurrtia, the greatest cat we’ve ever known <3What a name! What a blep.
To hell with Substack, let’s have Frogstack.
Stack Overfrog
The paw.
