💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐈🧬 A team at #Stanford identified the ancient genetic mutation that makes orange #cats orange – a tiny deletion on the X chromosome that flips a gene on in pigment #cells, blocking dark pigment and turning fur orange.
The mechanism is unlike anything seen in any other #mammal, which explains why about 80% of orange cats are male: the mutation is on the X chromosome. The #study traces the #mutation back to #medieval times, when calico cats appeared in 12th-century #paintings.

🗣IT’S THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY!
and my birthday is #Game3 of the #NBAFinals2026 so i expect to see a hotassmess of #basketball #sports #cats #dogs #birds #bloomscrolling and everything you can think of to celebrate that doctor pulling me out with forceps ―60 years ago―, after my mom pushed in vain for like 10 hours. need y’all to get all the hype in the air to help the #Knicks win on Wednesday.
Here he is two days after I found him (and one of his three sisters) in my garden shed in 2010. Gathered them all up and got them to a local shelter; he and his mum and two unrelated ginger kittens came home a few weeks later.

Somebody would like you to know today is his 16th birthday. Love bites included.
(See next post in thread for photos of him from 16 years ago)

The extraordinary 22-year-old adventure cat Lilli (Germany) is redefining what it means to live life to the fullest. Far from retiring to the couch, she's still trotting happily through the countryside, exploring the great outdoors, with her devoted mistress. With the wind in her whiskers and adventure in her heart, Lilli proves age is just a number. Calico Maisy & grey tabby Captain Jack (UK) wish Lilli a very happy birthday!
Rescues 😚❤️.
Every rescued animal carries a story you may never fully know but what matters is the ending you help create. Giving them a home means giving them a second chance at life, trust and happiness.
If you can, choose to rescue. There are so many beautiful souls waiting to be seen, loved and cherished. You don’t just change their world… they change yours in the most magical way. 💛

When you're playing a game on a handheld device and the screen goes dark and you can see your reflection in it
(This cat has the most "done with everything" expression I have ever seen, I love it xD)
There is a meme going around about cat’s murder faces and I feel the record must be corrected. The meme states that the cat on the left (with an angry expression) is not planning to murder you. This is false. That cat is 100% contemplating your demise; they are doing it coldly and rationally. The cat on the right with the adorable wide pupils is also going to kill you, but it’s in a state of temporary insanity and will claim before a judge that you were asking for, just look at how you were moving (aside: cats, unlike police, do know the definition of and how to spot furtive motions).

Just checking in - the results of yesterdays tests for my husband will be available today and will need to be discussed with the doctor. As this should not include interminable waiting time like yesterday (he was really cooked when he came home) he agreed to me joining him. So I have only about 2h to get some stuff done here. Never mind, the rest can wait.
If all goes well maybe we can pick up Molly on our way home - I miss her and she must be feeling awful at the vet's.
#today #Cats
I wake up at 6am most mornings expecting to be sat on by a 17 lb cat.
It’s been 5 months. I still miss her.

Yeah. I always end up investing in her schemes every time too. At least she tried to help me garden this morning.

Ok, don't judge me because I am an old guy with no tech understanding, but I just discovered, by accident, how I can grab parts of images from my photos and superimpose them onto others.
So here's my crazy little cat,doing her weird little stretch, against the famous Richmond Bridge in Tasmania.

I interrupted a Very Important Caturday Meeting in the middle of the road, hence I was given The Look.
The Right-Pawed vs. Left-Pawed Debate🐾
Question: Just like humans, do cats have a preferred dominant front paw?
#Cats #CatsOfMastodon #poll
| Yes , most cats are right pawed: | 1 |
| Yes , most cats are left pawed: | 1 |
| No, they use both completely equally: | 3 |

Fat cat is ready to give his morning sermon 😂 It probably goes something like "damn, its too hot, go and hide inside. Leave me alone".
Since he knocked me down 3 weeks ago, Theo has jumped up and grabbed my legs with his claws three times, almost knocking me down again. If I can't find a way to stop him from doing it, I don't know if I can keep him. I don't want to take him back to the shelter, but at my age falls are dangerous.
So yesterday I bought a Feliway diffuser and plugged it in. It hasn't had an effect on him yet -- he just clawed my legs and made me spill my coffee again a few minutes ago. But I'm hoping it will help calm him.

This is a Rudolf appreciation post! The small elderly man, he continues being handsome and cute and sweet!

We are a quiet pack of cats (mostly) with our own cloud to dream in.
After four years of caring taming and also suffering we've been given a notice of termination in #Ireland.

These are the “neighborhood cats” that the folks across the street from us started to take care of. They are outdoor cats, not belonging to anyone, but my neighbors built them shelter and look after their well being.

Somebody is thoroughly enjoying the early evening sun.
Our dogs guarding the backyard... There is a smell in the air...

Somebody would like you to know he showed up at the beginning of an online author presentation his human was hosting and is quite pleased with himself.
If you’re looking for some #caturday dance music, I recommend Frugit and things like She Goes to Work and the video for I Knead Dem Biscuits is cute.
The words are awesome because “She Goes to Work” is from the cat’s perspective. So when he sings “c’mon baby, get out dem toys!” That’s what he’s talking about.

So there was an image of fluffy white #cat in transparent vessel, probably trash bin, shaped like this. Cannot find this photo in the web right now, but it was the one doing many circles in jokes and memes about #cats being liquid (or melting in hot days), even here I saw it many times.
I started thinking that cat looked like half-melting #IceCream in big glass.
And there was Codenames #tabletop game I played several times on work integration meetings (picture version, there is also word version mentioned in web more often). I noticed pictures on cards being very absurd/surrealistic/psychedelic and I really liked it.
Finally I thought "there could be cat ice-cream #card in this game", it would have similar vibe. So this is my vision of that card, drawn in style similar to original Codenames cards.

For #DoorsDay, here's a famous door (roll-up door) in the San Telmo area of Buenos Aires...
It seems to get reinterpreted every once in a while - the most recent version I recall seeing has a red background. This pic was from June 2023 (the graffiti is signed Naso 2021).

Breaking free from her original profile and starting new on here, she sneaks in the back door under the cover of darkness.
Oh, hello there, you found me...or did I find you?
It's just me, Fi. That really annoying woman from Scotland that talks way too much then shuts down because everything is overwhelming.
So yeah, about me - Fi, Scottish, carer for my child, cat lady. Disabled thanks to arthritis, fibromyalgia and some unknown thing thats under constant investigation until the docs decide whats going on - or if my body just hates me (it probably does, I don't blame it).
I spend most of my time looking after the cats (fat cat and skinny cat), the child and totally neglecting myself. When I'm not doing caring duties, I'm stitching, gaming or sleeping...although every now and then I venture outside into the real world and it reminds me I don't like it.
I'm mostly found online early morning, usually half dead from lunchtime. Although now and then I will lurk and randomly set up a new account just before bedtime...like now, so hi 😁
My partner and I were just out for a walk recently, and we were talking about dog owners, then dogs, then cats; I lamented that it was too bad she's allergic to cats, because they're such lovely, cute, cuddly animals (when they're not shedding, causing allergies, swatting stuff off tables, yowling, pooping or peeing in odd places, throwing up on the bed, etc).
So last night, she comes home with this derpy little creature, who is cute, cuddly, and lovely, and has none of the downsides we listed on out walk 💖💖🫠
Now I just need a good name for her.

#Sinon Tbeat ne veut pas sortir aujourd'hui, elle dort sur le lit.
Très très étonnant de sa part, elle qui sort tout le temps même en hiver.
Elle rentre même le midi en ce moment et fait la sieste avec moi.
Ce qu'elle n'a jamais fait en 13 ans, une, deux fois peut-être, pas plus et elle dort sur le lit avec moi la nuit.
Ce qu'elle ne faisait jamais quand son frère était encore là.
Depuis que Ken n'est plus, elle a bien changé.
some of my favorite kitty arts i drew! the last one is based on my own cat who is a ginger siberian 💙
all these are available as stickers on my website if you're interested!

Professional napping technique (not suitable for beginners).
Repairs were underway, and the human clearly needed a technical mind to help. Smokey (Berkshire, UK) was luckily at hand to lend a paw.
Quick note 📝.
Hey if you’ve seen any unfamiliar cats around your area lately, please take a moment to check. Someone out there could be searching endlessly for their furry friend. A small act like sharing a photo or asking around could help reunite them with their home 💔.
you guys!
ms. wizard found this while thrifting and brought it home for me. i love it so hard! she may as well give up on getting me anymore gifts, she's never gonna be able to top this one.
#Wikipedia only has an article about feral #cats in #Istanbul. It is greatly misleading! Cats are everywhere in #Turkey (at least Ankara, Antalya and Nevşehir). Look around you and you will find cats in no time.
The article about feral cats should be "Feral cats in Turkey", with a section about Istanbul
