We’re still thinking about Diane Keaton — her films, her spirit, and the singular charm she brought to every role.

Happy birthday to author Katherine Applegate!

We're celebrating with a photo featuring Horatio as the character Rachel "morphing" into a cat as featured on the second book of the #Animorphs series.

#Caturday #CaturdayExtra #KatherineApplegate @kaaauthor.bsky.social #HoratioTheCat

On a red background, three images of a cat in a blond wig and black shirt that each get shorter as the images ascend in the frame until the fourth image is just the cat to emulate the "morphing" cover of the Animorphs book The Visitor by Katherine Applegate.

Here comes the sparkle... #Twilight was published 20 years ago in October 2005! Horatio is celebrating with an homage to the classic cover and character Edward Cullen (with added sparkle).

#Caturday #HoratioTheCat

A photo of an orange cat dressed in a bronze wig and blue shirt with added graphic sparkles across its fur to emulate the character Edward Cullen from the Twilight series. The book Twilight sits next to the cat. A speech bubble with the words "This is the fur of a killer, Bella" is superimposed at the top of the photo.
