Tabbys, tuxedo cats, gingers, and sleek black kittens.
All that's missing is a wee Russian Blue like our former feline family member, Bleu. She was truly one of THE most beautiful cats to ever grace my presence, truly a superior feline form.
Bleu was with us for several years but could not adjust to the new house after we moved. She never got comfortable here and one dark day got out and never came back. She is a kitty I shed more than a few tears over losing, that regal empress of kitten-cats.
I'm 100% with you- I've been domestic servant to two magnificent Russian Blues, and I will accept no substitutes. Bright, charming, inquisitive and affectionate, how I miss my two little grey boys.
Oh the best cat we ever had was a calico, named 'Koi Kitten Dances With Dogs'. She came to us one morning as a half-starved motherless 7 oe 8 week old kitten. We woke up and both dogs and both cats were in the living room staring intently at the front door. We opened it and this tiny, dirty, scrawny bit of fluff scrambled over the door sill, and marched right through the assembled audience to the kitchen where she found the dog's food bowl and started eating some dry food.
We picked her up, took her to a nearby vets office where she was dipped for fleas, treated for ear mites, and given some vaccinations, then home to be bathed in the kitchen sink because she reeked of flea dip.
Wrapped her in a towel and sat down in the easy chair and she curled up under my chin and commenced to purr. Instantly smitten, we were.
I'm suddenly recalling that John Ashcroft hated calicos because they were "the Devil's cats". I would have figured Old Scratch would have gone with black cats, because tradition, but go figure.
The ghost of our lovely tortie Peanut Butter Cat, the dumpster kittie paul brought home shortly after we were married, is going to come back and haunt me mercilessly.
Yeah, we watched the whole opening ceremony, including the fashion show. None of it had anything to do with da Vinci's painting and the actual runway models were a mix of all body types, ages, and (I assume) sexual orientations. There were even some disabled folks, including one Paralympian who had prosthetic hands and feet.
Typical faux outrage from "Christians" who spend their days looking for something to be outraged over.
I loved The Last Supper thing, especially its featuring Philippe Katerine, a performer who has little tolerance for the morons of the far-right.
The criticism of the scene is just ignorant pique, particularly coming from Americans who have zero understanding of what was intended, or of French culture, or of art.
And Don Jr., sychophant son of a father who lies, foments political violence, has been found liable for sexual abuse, and who slept with a pornstar then paid her off to keep quiet so as to influence an eleciton, can just spare us all his tiresome religious pieties.

I get the response that he's promising full dictatorship and dissolution of elections, but I also think there's another way to read this, which is that he's goddamn sick of these evangelical god-botherers crawling all over his back and hopes he'll be able to shake them off his back once he gets installed and can focus on his goal of expanding profiteering for himself and his cronies.
Imagine putting on an Olympic Games with NO PUTIN but plenty of SnoopDog!!!! Best things so far were Snoop at the men's badminton and Snoop at women's gymnastics, Football in Marseilles and surfing in Tahiti. LA 2024 has a high bar to clear.
WTAF, Wonkette...why is the video you shared of the Olympic Opening Ceremony a complete rant on how upset people are about "The Last Supper" being mocked??? That is not what happened. I do not recall Da Vinci s painting including Dionysus & Olympia, do you? Jesus was not a member of Blue Man Group. This is what MSM has run with...complete misinterpretation & outrage by morons who choose not to see what is clearly in front of their eyes. We can beat them, if we don't join them! And c'mon! Link to AP with Andrew Tate talking about mockery of Christianity? Andrew Tate??? Again, what is up with MSM? Are all editors and fact checkers gone, on every platform?? It's not helpful to share these sources without rebutting them.
Not only is Anna Ayala very sympathico with Trump because they have both been convicted of felony fraud, but they also share the trait of being idiots who think they're geniuses. I mean, it's one thing to drop half a mouse carcass into your chili in the hopes of a quick settlement. Wendy's MIGHT be able to prove that they and their suppliers had nothing to do with it, but they are really gonna want to make that problem go away fast.
But thinking that if a dead mouse is good, severed finger is even BETTER is like, Dumb and Dumber-level thinking you're SMRT. Dumbass, human remains are ALWAYS presumed to be evidence of a crime until proven otherwise, and that finger is gonna go straight to the coroner for a full investigation. Which of course is exactly how Ayala got caught.
Also gotta say that Wendy's chili is also a poor choice. Everybody knows that Wendy's franchisees make their chili in-store from leftovers, so it's pretty exculpatory if none of the half-dozen or so employees working at that store at that time is missing a finger. That does not take a genius investigator to figure out. Go with a food item for which there's a long supply and processing chain for your fraud, dumbass, not one where a 19 year old assistant manager can count fingers and say, nope, it wasn't us!

Oops, wrong thread ... 🤦🏻♂️
I can't believe nobody made a "get your morning tabbys here" joke.
That should be my back yard. I want that to be my back yard. Why is that not my back yard?
Parrots: “Meow, fellow cats.”
Enough to fill binders full of cat ladies.
My oldest daughter is, in fact, a crazy cat lady.
She likes them better than her four kids.
It is better that some cat ladies stay childless
Purrfect Martini!
𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 used an electric can opener by the window...
"Close it first! Every damn cat in the neighborhood will be here!"
Reminds me of the great kitty drives in the old west. Those catboys sure knew how to herd 'em!
And in case you were wondering what those kitty drives looked like:

OMD I remember that ad back from when it was new!
That is absolutely inspired.
Isn’t it?
Catboys... I do not think that means what you think it means.
As far as I was concerned, it was a neologism, but if it has some salacious meaning, all the better!
How did they end up with sooo many damn cats?
Oh, right, never mind.

<Edith Bouvier has entered the chat. Both of them.>
Well young Baddr, when a mommy kitty and daddy kitty love each other very much...
Or when a mommy kitty loves several daddy kitties very much...
PoRnOgRaPhY!!!!!1111
shouldn't that be "PuRRnOgRaPhY!!!!!1111"
As well it should. I had it in the wrong CATegory.

Russian blues are gorgeous! Never had one myself but I think they’re so elegant.
Darn it. You have to be willing to lose it all to have it all.

No Torties.
i love torties but i hear you
Torties are fun and mischievous. Just none in the gif. 8^)
How about calicos? They can be very peculiar.

Is what happens when Black Magic engages in Normal Orange Cat Activities. It puts a wrinkle in the energy field.
tort reform now?
I read that as "No Tories."
Hell yes!
THAT is an absolute within this house.
Tories and orange men from either side of the pond are anathema here.
That's right! I'm in BIG trouble now.
The ghost of our lovely tortie Peanut Butter Cat, the dumpster kittie paul brought home shortly after we were married, is going to come back and haunt me mercilessly.
I have it coming now...
😢
What are those blue kitties?
You don't need to be a blue kitty to sing the kitty blues ...

OMG
That gif gives me a “Suddenly, Last Summer “ vibe, yet is also adorable!
See also the great San Francisco cat horror movie, "Eye of the Cat."
Motels song or Tennessee Williams play (or 1959 Gore Vidal movie based on it)?
Ooh, I'm impressed. ^^ :)
Movie!
If the kitty shows up in a white bathing suit, be worried.
If after Labor Day.
I’m picturing the still of Elizabeth Taylor screaming!
Oooh.....look at the kittens!! Makes me want to purr.
Lovely gif!
All looking for something, anything, to toy with mercilessly before killing.
Where is the proverbial "DEAD CAT BOUNCE"?
“Can you ‘meow’?”
“Of course I can “meeow”, I’m a parrot.”
“Not so loud. Keep your head down. And no feather fluffing. Got it?”
“Squa… meeow?”
hopefully all are spayed & neutered

*Doubtless* has been noted already, but SO. CAT. BUTTHOLE. LIBELZ.
BAD EDITRIX, NO! 😾
Because *no* kitteh would *ever* lick whatever that bilious malformed orfice is supposed to be, not even if it was covered in Churu.
A factual debunking of the whole last supper outrage.

The French are strange. They apologize to Catholics for being cheeky about religion, but celebrate the execution of a woman by public beheading.
The Last Supper bit was stupid and offensive.
Since it wasn't the Last Supper, does that make it less stupid and offensive?
Hell yeah, the Democrats are making "Republicans are sick freaks" an official policy position. WHEN THEY GO LOW WE KICK THEM IN THE BALLS

It also had nothing to do with the da Vinci painting that I could see when I was watching it. This is just another RWNJ nontroversy.
Yes. It was an homage to the gods and goddesses - in their incredible diversity - who gave birth to the Seine!
Complete with the goddess of the Seine on an odd silver horse. Looked cool, anyway.

Check out the balls on that Bibi guy. Biden should be telling him "you don't want peace? OK, good luck bro...'
John Oliver did a story on the West Bank last night. Bibi didn't come off well in that one.
