Absolutely fantastic photo sent to me by instagram follower www.instagram.com/sw4gmag1ck. She didn't know much about it, just that the man was "one of my irish relatives in Pennsylvania a few years after immigrating".

I just got this Bunny Dee shirt and already got cat hair all over it. I love that the cat is ear tipped!! She has so many great designs in her threadless store… I am struggling not to buy all of them. (Sizing note: I'm pretty small (5'5", 125 lbs) and this medium is a fitted cut on me. Definitely order a size up a size or two if you want a looser fit, for the tank tops anyway.)

I got the most wonderful surprise in the mail - vintage cat postcards from a generous bluesky follower in Sweden! They even thoughtfully wrote out translations for the writing on the back. 🥰 I am so excited and grateful!

Look at this beauty. ❤️ A stained glass piece by my friend Emily, inspired by the medieval Old Gaelic poem, Pangur Bán. It was by a monk who would work tirelessly at his studies as his cat, Pangur Bán, faithfully hunted mice. She doesn't have a website for her work yet but if you are on Bluesky you can follow her there, https://bsky.app/profile/stonkers.bsky.social.

An instagram follower very kindly and generously contacted me because her grandfather passed away recently and she was able to see his photo albums - there were lots of cats! She asked if I wanted to see and of courses I said yes. This is her grandmother and she think it dates to around 1960.
