There has been a request for cat pics, so here are some cat pics. The grey tabby is Sweetie Pie Jonas; the fluffy black cat is Pantz. And yes, they do like to spend a lot of time atop bookcases.

As for the last one, Pantz is not really that tiny, not is my head that large; there’s some sort of forced perspective thing going on here. She does, however, like to tap me on the head on a regular basis to remind me of important things I must do for her right away.

Thank you. I love them! I had a fluffy black kitty just like that once.

Keep doing what you’re doing David. If you don’t, who will? Things are always darkest before dawn.

I’ve donated. Thanks.

Me too. Perspective tricks for the win.

My spouse is a fan of tiny kitties. Me, I love a big, juicy tomcat.

Pantz has her priorities right. Human stuff is of no importance. Only cat stuff is important.

Your cats are beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been stressed (nothing bad; holiday stuff), and adorable cats are the perfect stress buster!

If you’re not familiar with it, may I recommend to you the instagram account Strange Planet? It’s a cartoon about aliens and I mention it because I think you will enjoy his comics that feature cats. ?

… Strange Planet?

Any cartoonist wise enough to refer to a cat’s claws as deathblades gets my follow, no questions asked.

They are seriously charming! Seen the odd one before, but never bothered to follow up and find the source. So thank you.

All cats are best size cat.

All cats are best size cat.

Agreed. I was always partial to big boy kitties, but then I adopted my wee calico monster and now I’m partial to both little kitties and big kitties.

Excellent example of a vintage pencil sharpener’s innards! Both pooties look as though they’re considering sharpening their whiskers. Or perhaps their claws.

They both are lovely objets d’art. The Pantz-blur does look much larger than the Pantz-David-tapper.

Sweetie Pie Jonas, who appears to recognize the tablet for the cat-charging device it is, leaves me wondering if he (she?) has brothers named Joe, Nick and Kevin. If so, this glowing grey tabby should be part of their act.

I find it a little weird how a lot of right wingers on Twitter keep bringing up Bill Clinton as some kind of gotcha. They genuinely think that the left is going to oppose this just because a man who is by no means on the left happens to be connected.

Just reposting this. Paradoxy needs some help to avoid eviction. Please spare a few bucks their way if you can.

You provide your cats with a sharpener for their claws? Brave man!

@Naglfar: They seem to have a very simplistic view of the world. Either you’re on Team R or you’re on Team D. If you’re against them, then you must be on Team D, and if you’re on Team D, then a successful hit landed on Bill Clinton is a successful hit landed on you.

Nuance seems to be lost on them … which makes me wonder what they think of the Lincoln Project? I suppose “defectors, traitors, and closet members of Team D”?

David, those are gorgeous kittyz. Yes, sometimes a cat must tap her dad on the head. Otherwise, who knows when she’ll get fed, petted, and called a beautiful kitty.

While the Lincoln Project is very anti-trump, it is important to keep in mind that they are in no way our allies aside from that factor. There’s some pretty dickish people in charge of it:

@David: Your kitten overpeople are amazing and I am here for it. Donated too.

First pic. Kitty with Kindle.

I just got a Kindle. Does this mean I have to get a kitty now too? I kinda don’t want any pets…

@Robert Haynie : in my experience, getting a pet mean suddenly realizing you alway needed one.
