For Caturday, and every day really, here’s a minute of Sploot kneading a blankie I tossed on my office chair and a very forceful and happy bunt after he realizes I’m watching him. 🥰 (Alt text: A fluffy tabby kneads a fuzzy blanket with gusto. Notices me, walks over, and bunts my phone/face hard.)

For #Caturday, fearless Fidget tried to figure out the SpotBot carpet cleaner. (Someone fluffy had a hairball. :cough: Spoot :cough:) It doesn’t play with him like the robot vacuum does though. Its brush is surrounded by a force field! (Alt Text following) 1/2

Here they are again, where Fidget tries to put his head back in the tissue box and Sploot bats him away from it. He’s done with this nonsense haha!

Fidget: a small, mostly black tux with his head stuck in an even smaller snack bag! (Not even about licking the bag! He does this with tissues boxes, packing sleeves, you name it. Always gets himself out, sometimes goes back for seconds. Maybe it’s fashion? 🤷‍♀️)

For #Caturday, Fidget shows off his high-speed chasing skills! (Cat wheel courtesy of his rescue because he was the only cat who’d ever used it 😂) Alt: a small mostly black tuxedo cat runs inside a large exercise wheel. He’s chasing a feather wand toy that he eventually catches and carries off.

On this #Caturday, I give you Fidget being a fidget spinner and making his own fun. He does this multiple times a day! (Alt: a small mostly black tux cat holds one end of a wire wand toy in his mouth and pushes it in a circle so he can chase the other end. He circles at top speed.) #CatsOfBluesky

We have that toy! One of my cats likes to take it for a walk. (Video alt text: a small, mostly black tuxedo cat drags a wand toy with a very long ribbon attached down a hall before disappearing into a room.)

Video #AltText: a small, mostly black tuxedo cat digs a dangling feather wand toy out of a cardboard box filled with brown paper. When I put it back into the box, he jumps in face-first. His face smashes into the paper and his butt stays up in the air, his back legs stick out behind him. 2/2

New catio just dropped! Alt: camera pans around an outdoor deck enclosed with wire fencing with wooden shelves and driftwood paths to the top of the deck. Two cats climb and explore. My husband’s electric leafblower is harshing the vibe a bit in the background. Old cat Tinker is unseen but here too!

Oh hey. It’s another shit show today. You already know all about it. So here’s a #Caturday post to give you a timeline cleanse: Sploot, a fluffy brown tabby, plays with his fav toy, a small, plastic, empty cat treat bag. He tosses it with glee, spinning in circles, and pounces it.

New trucking authority owner. Zero revenue history. Can't get equipment financing. I hear this story every week and every week I say the same thing: Card stack first. Here's the play: Get $50K-$100K at 0% interest through card stacking. Put it toward your truck purchase or down payment.
