A cool #caturday morning means the door is open for bird-watching.

Seriously, imagine this being the second-coolest photo taken of you in one day.

Two long-haired black cats are eating. The nearer is seen from behind, and appears much larger than the other.

A little bit of forced perspective makes Dresden look even...fluffier. (That's a good adjective. Let's not fluff-shame.)

I'm starting to think we're not doing a very good job restricting Hairy Dresden's kibble intake.

Every day lately I've awakened to see my #cat Dresden guarding the bedroom door. From what, I wonder.
Intruders?
The other cat?
Cheeseburgers?

Some of you might see this and say, "Toe beans!" Others, aware of its capabilities, might call it a "murder mitten." Its true name, however, is Gonad Crusher, Compressor of Crotches.

Dresden has this look of utter incomprehension because I've just told him that he can't possibly be starving, as there are still several pieces of kibble in his bowl.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

There's a bird that keeps swooping by the front door playing an avian version of "ding-dong-ditch" and security feline Dresden is on the case.

PANEL 1: An orange SCORPION rides of the back of a green FROG, who is wildly 
splashing in the water. The sky is blue.
FROG: OW! Scorpion! Why would you sting me int he middle of the river? Now are both
going to die!
PANEL 2: The SCORPION looks annoyed, the FROG is angry, but has stopped 
thrashing.
SCORPION: Ah, my friend. Because it is my NATURE to sting.
FROG: Your nature is to be a tremendously huge but ahead! THAT’S your nature!!
PANEL 3: The sky has turned a darker blue, the FROG looks ill and starts to sink. The 
SCORPION looks introspective. No text.
PANEL 4: The sky is a darker blue now, the frog is head-down in the water, bubbles 
popping on the surface. The SCORPION is still on the frogs back, his eyes wide.
SCORPION: Well that is just hurtful.

They say "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," but Dresden thinks one bird in the bush is good #cat TV.

This is the look of a cat who doesn't understand why "it's hot out" is a valid reason for keeping the doors and windows shut on #caturday.
