Super close up pic of blue point Siamese Sven Francis lying on my chest, crossed blue eyes are totally judging me at very close range!!

Head and shoulders pic of blue point Siamese kitty Sven Francis staring pure murder right into the camera. Pink wall in background.

Sven Francis Lothbrøk (so named because he has a shaggy butt and Lothbrøk means “shaggy britches”) is a blue point Siamese kitty who is roosting on my white pillow, chin resting on his front paws, and clearly 100% done with my shit. Sven is a beautiful cat with severe, perpetual RBF.

Side-by-side comparison: On left: close up of the evil painting of Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters II. Vigo is a large, glowering blonde dude in bronze armor. On right: my blue point Siamese cat Sven looking especially evil, lit from the side by sunlight trickling through a crack in the curtains. Their head tilts and glowering expressions are identical.

just want to reassure everyone that he is a happy kitty with an unfortunately severe case of perpetual RBF

Incredibly proud of James, for winning this award and even moreso for his relentless reporting AND volunteering at the border, helping to tell the stories of and provide aid too the most desperate people on earth

Happy gotcha day, Anderson!! 🥳Have a lovely day and enjoy your cake!

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

They're all extremely sweet” [four photos of of 5 adorable older kittens] 4:38 PM • 4/18/26 from Earth • 121K Views

🚨 Haley/@feederofcats’s Friends of Bear Cat Rescue needs your help! Somehow these adorable kittens STILL haven’t been adopted! As they say “These babies deserve homes and families, not to be sitting in an enclosure for a year”. Please spread the word! In CA? Adopt! www.friendsofbearcatrescue.org!

It is every cat’s sacred duty to be as annoying as possible while being completely endearing at the same time.

(I really wish people would stop fat shaming Piglet. She has Pectus excavatum and was re-homed multiple times before we adopted her. She has lost a lot of weight. People just have no clue how hard rehabilitating an overweight cat with a rare genetic condition is.) 1/2 🧵
