Superb photobomb from my collection - no date/info.
Black and white photo of a young white man wearing old fashioned, outdoorsy clothing and holding a rifle. He's standing outside of a house and right behind him in a screen window is an adorable tabby cat making a funny, scrunched up face - I think it was caught mid-meow.

Two of my grandchildren gave me a set of seed balls in the shape of birds eggs, and the Christmas present worked its magic this morning. #birds #nature

Kitten smother. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Photo of a light skinned toddler lying on their back on orange and brown carpeting with an orange brocade couch behind them. They are laughing and covers with very young tabby kittens, and they seem to have drawn glasses on their face.

One thing I already love about 2026 is that declawing will become illegal in California! 🥳 a24.asmdc.org/press-releas...
California’s Bill To Ban Cat Declawing Will Take Effect in 2026 | Official Website - Assemblymember Alex Lee Representing the 24th California Assembly District
Assemblymember Alex Lee’s legislation, AB 867, is a landmark and momentous achievement for animal welfare. The bill, which was signed by the Governor, bans cat declawing in California, and it will take effect on January 1, 2026.

Cats are standing by to help you put the Christmas lights away! Photo from my collection, 1957.
Black and white photo of a shorthaired striped tabby cat lying on its side on a carpet next to a Christmas tree. It is grabbing and playing with a string of Christmas lights that white male arms seem to be trying to organize.

Parsnip is apparently trying to game the @catsofyore.bsky.social system by sitting on a 1950’s Norman Rockwell collectible plate. Look dad, I’m vintage.

Also gaming the “you’re not allowed on the dinner table” system, I suppose.
A dark oak dinner table with mission-style chairs, three collectible plates with art from Norman Rockwell sit on the table, and a floofy tan & white cat named Parsnip sits on one of the plates. She gazes defiantly at the cameraman as if to say “I’m not touching the table, so you can’t tell me I’m breaking any rules”.

Christmas stupor. Photo from my collection, 1956.
Black and white photo of a plump shorthaired tuxedo cat sitting on an upholstered ottoman next to a tinseled Christmas tree, staring up into space. Open boxes of presents can be seen scattered about the floor.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement
An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com

I tried. It didn't look right. A one eyed cat is perfect as is.
A black and white medium haired kitten Marcel. He's sitting in front of some bokeh rainbow Christmas lights and has only one golden eye. Photoshopped onto the cat photo is a red and white Santa hat, tilted over his left ear, and a gift bow Christmas collar necklace.

Very fancy potato bear postcard from my collection, unsent and date unknown.
Black and white studio photo of a longhaired white cat sitting up on a small table draped with brocade fabric. The cat has a very large ruffly bow made of dark fabric attached to the right side of its collar.

Nothing says Christmas like a whole wheat kitty loaf warming on the radiator. Photo from my collection, ca. 1970s (in case you can't tell by the rainbow of browns).
A plump brown tabby cat is lying on top of a brown radiator cover, in the form of a soft and pleasant loaf. The photo is warm with wood paneled walls and many other brown interior decorating tones of the 1970s.

An interesting characteristic of this fenestrated haworthia I noticed over the summer is that if it is exposed to bright sunshine for a few weeks, the pigmentation of its leaves turns from cool green to bright red. 🌱🪴🌵
