We need some cute Kitty pics to cheer us up

Cats figure out the tissue box pretty quick! Mine wrestled a brand new paper towel roll that I forgot to put away. It was shredded.

Craft cat is still ‘helping’

Feathers this afternoon, and it’s too cold to throw him out…wish me luck

[shiloh]

But he’s so cute! Of COURSE he’s helping you.

@Alex_and_Bodie_s_Mom - I love the innocent expression on his face. And who wants to use well…used (read played with) Kleenex? That’s a line I draw.

[Alex_and_Bodie_s_Mom]

Innocent expression - like this one? (Actually, I consider this one more smug than innocent.)

[shiloh]

Definitely smug…

[CanadianTrotter]

@shiloh

Definitely smug…

Nope…that’s worse than smug.

That’s a thin look of innocence trying to cover up the smugness!

Cat manipulation at its finest!

My little gargoyle! She’s my first cat and a really fun addition to the house so far.

[Displaced_Yankee]

Pesky in all his taco truck glory.

This story just popped up on my phone –

Orange cat melts hearts settling in with new family in clip: "So sweet"

[Rackonteur]

She is beautiful. What is her name?

[deweydee]

That’s Gansey, although she won’t respond to it. She runs the place haha

[dressagetraks]

The changing of the sheets.

[PintoPony]

Gansey has a stripey tail! Love it!

Changing the sheets is a chore every cat has to “help” with. Earl loves to have the bottom sheet secured over him then he crawls around under it, finally sliding down the side of the bed and popping out from under.

[Rackonteur]

Yes, so does Velvet! Who just now, as I started on some paperwork, suddenly decided she had had enough of sunbathing over by the patio door and needed me immediately to provide her with a living recliner set at precisely 98.4 degrees F.

My brother adopted a senior cat of Gansey’s beautiful blue color. She was rather obese so he named her “Toaster.”

[Rackonteur]

I love this! It reminds me of a Lovin’ Spoonful song called “Nashville Cats” and also of a British rock band getting bored at a Holiday Inn.

[2DogsFarm]

Nashville cats, been playin’ since they babies

[Rackonteur]

I love blue cats.
Your story about Toaster reminded me of Dick Francis, and of the races he set at at a race course that, when I heard the name on the audio versions, sounded to me like “Toaster.” Later, reading one of the books, I learned that the race course was really named “Towcester,” which to me looked like “tow-kester” until I put 2 and 2 together.

She looks like my old cat(gone now) MoJo. He was an icy grey tabby too.

That is true of most English place names ending in “cester”. “Worcester” is pronounced “Wooster”. “Leicester” is pronounced “Lester”, and so on.
