a vet student named alana kestle posted about the #uk #heatwave with some tips on heat stress in cats
she noted that lethargy, restlessness, confusion, bright red tongue/gums, sweaty paw pads, heavy, rapid breathing, panting, diarrhea, vomiting, collapse, and seizures can be signs of heatstroke.
you can contact your cats clinic if your cat is having symptoms or if you want more advice

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: It offends the human ego that nature is indifferent to us. Nature doesn’t care if people live or die. It refuses to be tamed. It does whatever it wants and acts like people don’t matter. It won’t confirm our right to be here. That drives people crazy. We can’t stand being ignored. It’s insulting and … hey!
HOBBES: YAWWNN. [wanders off]
CALVIN: I think that’s also why some people don’t like cats.
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1994-03-04)

Hello, I am Violet, moving here from a gaming instance. I do still love cozy games and puzzles, but no longer have a gaming laptop or current console.
I am a freelance #food photographer and recipe developer, previously a professional pastry chef.
I am currently working up the nerve to share personal #recipes and projects for the first time since having a baking blog pre-Influencer and SEO internet times. (Despite having work published in actual magazines.)
My current project is a 'kitchen witch' themed recipe zine, including topics like #FoodInsecurity and cooking and eating for disabled, chronically ill, or neurodivergent folks. (Collabs welcome.)
I also enjoy #gardening in the Midwest, reading #CozyMystery and romcoms, #tea and teaware, #meditation and #Pagan or #Buddhist spirituality, #cats and nature and backyard wildlife.

Hi there! Here’s an #introduction for this new instance.
I’m a soon-to-be 40-year-old #nonbinary #LGBTQIA person from southeastern #finland
I toot in English and Finnish, depending on the subject and what’s on my mind.
I maintain a #pinball #arcade with my partner @apzpins which we’ve been running for soon 15 years. The arcade is also on fedi, but we post in Finnish only, @hopeakuula , in case you’re interested.
We also have an elderly cat Wäinö in our small lovely family, who I toot photos of at times.
My interests include #videogames , I especially enjoy adventure games and RPGs, #animals , #Cats , #Travel , #scifi , #horror , and #crafts , I especially enjoy #knitting , #crochet and #crossstitching
I am a #chef by profession, so #food and #coffee are huge things for me. I sometimes toot about food stuff, and gladly talk about food, food cultures and share experiences.
#cycling is also fun, I mainly do this during the snowless time of the year. My home town has pretty good bike routes and I sometimes toot photos of those.
I’m #autistic , which surely comes off as hyper fixactions and in an unusual way of experiencing, seeing and handling the world and its goings-on.
I take quite a lot of pictures, and usually add those to my toots.
I love to write a lot, so Mastodon is the social media platform for me.
Spoonerisms are a part of my every day life, even if I don’t always say them all out loud xD
I like spring, summer and autumn, writing, my job, animals, my partner and friends and hobbies immensely.
If something sounded great, gimme a follow! It’s nice to meet new people!
Not sure if she wanted sunlight or shadow... Or just epic look like hunting/waiting lion in some movie...
My cats aren't actual siblings, as in they weren't born from the same mother and one is a year older than the other, but also today I noticed that the one single catnip toy that wasn't MIA was this little mouse, so I made them a DIY toy with an old sock, some crumpled packing paper, and catnip spray, so they wouldn't compete over it.
...And now they are competing over the sock, so I guess they are siblings enough.

Never had a cat so melodramatic. Shine smooshes his head against me and does this sort of prayer pose to beg for pets. Once or twice a day.
And he doesn't leave until he gets enough.

💁🏻♀️ 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.

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. 💛

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.

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.

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.

John Hollander’s poem Kitty and Bug is self-explanatory in its simplicity. The cat’s unpunctuated, almost stream-of-consciousness thoughts fit into a physical ‘cat’ shape, while the bug – in sharp contrast – is but a 3-letter word near the edge of the page.

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 😁
Rightfully proud of herself 🥰 AP kitten skills #FosterKittens #cats #FluffyFursday #CatsOfMastodon
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.
