Well, it's night time for me and I think you'd have some way to go to beat that one, so it's probably best that you just admit defeat now.

That's not a moustache, this is a moustache!

Congratulations Auggie!

You deserve it, you are a lovely, handsome and fun cat, and your naturalcats and plundercats adventures make me laugh.

🤍🤍🤍

I feel like all these zoo animal enrichment pumpkin videos and photos are also human enrichment tools on social media.

Even this Pallas cat gets in on the discovery and exploration process.

Don't be ridiculous. It says right there in the description that Wang was a tailless mauve tomcat.

That doesn't match the description of any of the plundercats.

I nuked my account there long ago. I miss Tendy!!

Yes, I was getting Wonton being beat up by Lentil confused, I thought it was Bitty for some reason.

She is a miracle worker. She takes these tragic janky no hope cases and makes them all too powerful! Thank you for posting updates, those of us without accounts elsewhere miss seeing her posts.

I think I got Bitty being nurse crossed in my head with Wonton being bothered by a kitten. Here's the last Bitty post I can see. .

Look at Bittty taking care of Mr Biscuits! #FriendsOfBear @friendsofbear.bsky.social

From @feederofcats Friends of Bear on X/Twitter: Mr. Biscuits is great! He is 16 lb of love and headbutts. Last week he had to get his 4 pathetic remaining teeth removed so he's officially toofless now, please enjoy this pic of him recovering from surgery and them him with Nurse Bitward

The last I saw she still has him and he was looking large and contented, but being bothered by a small annoying kitten. 😂

We have discussed a Gonzo dictionary before. No one minds the spellings, as long as you spell the most important words correctly - like hellocobber!

(I actually had to write this in a work report the other day and I automatically typed the cat spelling and then had to stop and think about it 😹🤣)

Perfect. Goode boy Gonzo. 😽 😇 🧡

I am a fan from back in the tiny Bitty days and even got his t-shirt.

I totally understand why she doesn't have time to post here, I just wish technology was better so anything she posts could autopost here.

Anyway, Jean's screenshots lets us see most of her posts. 💚

Marlena, quindi @quindimarlena.bsky.social · 4d

Mine is almost unrecognisable now - I think it went through a hot wash at some point. 😭 I don't have the heart to throw it out so I wear it for gardening.

The cat people here are just the best. 💙

A black tshirt with the sleeves cut off. The text "do it for him" is still readable in white in the centre. All around that is a circle of very distorted shapes which have been damaged by going through the wash. Once you have been told what the shapes are you can just make out that a couple of them are the shape of a cat's head. They are all pictures of Bitty the 3 legged kitten (now grown cat) who belongs to Haley - FeederOfCats on the former Twitter, now known as Friends of Bear (who sadly doesn't post here yet).

Me too, but if you want updates @jeanchimera.bsky.social is very good about posting screenshots to keep us updated.

(Auggie, I try to post everything that Haley posts on the other site. I always hashtag it with #FriendsOfBear so if you want to see if there's anything new just look for that. 🤍)

I'm so glad this discussion led to you finding it! Looking forward to seeing a picture when it arrives and you have it in place. 💚

Marlena, quindi @quindimarlena.bsky.social · 7h

I am in the wrong country for that.

One day I'll sit down and see if I can find something similar here.

I just want to say thank you - these Goodnight Story posts make me happy every time I see them. 💙

(Also I keep getting tricked by the greyhound at the top of the stairs, before I remember each time that it is a statue 😆)

And his parents. Imagine not even knowing where their child was, when they could have been informed.

These people are absolute monsters.
