#caturday is for playing

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is on a nubby pale green blanket and swatting at a cat toy. One of his guardians is in the background manipulating the toy.

A different orange and white Devon Rex cat has the same toy in his front paws. He seems to be nibbling on it.

Ohhhh yeah, that's the stuff.

Two orange and white Devon Rex cats sit on a blue electric fireplace outdoors facing opposite directions so their butts contact the warmest spot.

Good morning.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat lies on his guardian's lap cleaning himself with his long pink tongue. His eyes are closed and he looks blissed out.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.

Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.

It’s been 15 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election.

Republicans still won’t swear her in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva will be the final vote needed to force a vote on the Epstein files—but the GOP won't call the House back into session to swear her in.

It's time to swear her in and release the Epstein files.

The cats like to play mealtime shenanigans by deciding they're "done," but when we move their remaining food to a new spot, they continue eating. Sometimes they consume dinner in as many as four interesting locations. Assholes.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat stands on a carpeted step with his tongue sticking out regarding a bowl of food on the step below him. His butt is on the upper step and his forelegs are on the lower step, fully extended.
