A grey and white striped bathmat on a tiled bathroom floor. A little bit of a dark tabby tail is visible poking out from under. The mat is very lumpy. Approximately as lumpy as if a 9 pound cat were hiding underneath.

And we end #caturday with bathroom maturday. Our nearly invisible cat #MrMittens disappears into the shadows.

Photo of a tabby cat with his head poking out of the handle of a black, fabric carrier bag. His white feet are visible. The bag is covering his back like a cape.

On #caturday nights we order out. And the part #MrMittens looks forward to is the carrier bag. This one turned into a superhero cape. #catsofmastodon

This little guy is working hard to make me forget yesterday’s shenanigans. #MrMittens

Mr Mittens, a brown tabby with white bib and paws, is sitting a top a sisal scratching post. He is looking inquisitively at the camera. In the background, you can see some macrame hanging on the wall to his right, and an orange chair behind him.

Mr. Mittens says Good Morning, Mastodon!

A black fireplace with the glass door wide open. It’s pitch black inside (I just finished cleaning it). A tabby cat is standing on the white brick hearth looking in.

Same black fireplace with the glass door wide open. It’s pitch black inside now our tabby cat is standing on his hind legs with his head looking over the top.

@steggy He’s checking out the fireplace. But there was no way he was gonna get those little white mittens all covered in soot.

Mr Mittens, a brown tabby with white markings, is peering intently at the camera lens. His face is extremely close to the camera, and everything else in the frame is blurry.

Whatcha doin’? #Caturday #MrMittens

A grey bathmat on a white tile floor. There is a very obvious large lump under the mat and the tip of a cat tail poking out. To the right of the mat, on the floor, is a yellow and blue bird toy.

Nothing to see here. Just a completely innocent bathmat. Please go about your business.

Mr Mittens, a brown tabby cat, can be seen peeking out from inside a black backpack.

College kid leaving tomorrow. Looks like someone else wants to go to college, stowed away in our student’s backpack.

A brown tabby cat with white belly and paws is curled up napping on an orange chair. He has one paw over his eyes. You can see his extra toes on his front feet.

Mr. Mittens is eepy. I hope everyone has a good nap this #Caturday

Photo of a multicolor quilt with a dark arch made by the quilt. Poking out from under it is a barely visible tabby cat nose.

My #cat #MrMittens is doing an FBI-style stakeout incognito at the foot of the bed. Lurking. He is ridiculously cute in the evenings.

A brown tabby cat with white paws and belly is lying on his side on a dark blue carpet. He is looking at the camera with a goofy expression. You can see his extra toes on his front paws.

Mr Mittens is feeling very #caturday

Mr Mittens, a brown polydactyl tabby cat, is looking at the camera over the back of a chair covered in a colorful crochet blanket. A Christmas tree is visible behind him.

It’s Mr. Mittens Gotcha Day!

Almost wrapped up the cat.

As Charlie Brown says: not only is #Christmas too commercial, it’s too dangerous.

And #MrMittens swears he is just admiring my handiwork. He assures me he isn’t about to knock any ornaments off. Again.

Mr. Mittens, a brown tabby cat with white bib and paws, is sitting atop a beige sisal scratching post. He is looking at the camera. Behind him, there is a large cream macrame weaving on the wall, the wallpaper is shades of orange, blue and gray.

Last minute entry for #Caturday

#MrMittens jumped on the top of his scratching post and posed for me.

Before: Mr Mittens, a brown tabby cat is sitting on a dining table, taking a swat at a lit purple candle on an adventure wreath.

After: the candle is out and Mr. Mittens is licking wax off his paw.

Happy Advent!

The Advent Cat: Before and After

Mr. Mittens, a brown tabby with white bib and paws, is sitting on a side table in the background. He is staring intently at a knitting project of blue wool I am holding in the foreground. Between the cat and the knitting, Chloe, a black spaniel mix dog, is curled up on the gray couch.

Mr. Mittens really wants to get at my knitting, but Chloe is in the way. Foiled again!

Trying to put a tablecloth on the dining room table. @steggy says #MrMittens has put a lot of skill points into Detect Tablecloth. He knows.

Mr Mittens, a brown tabby with white paws, is standing on a small gray plastic bag and licking it for all he’s worth.

Happy #Caturday

Mr. Mittens is so weird. He loves to lick plastic bags. Why???

#MrMittens gets his mittens ready for another Monday. Can’t start the week with dirty mittens.

Mr. Mittens, a brown and white tabby cat, is sleeping curled up on an orange chair. He has one paw over his head and the other front paw is toes up. You can see his pink toe beans and his extra thumbs on his front paw.

Sleepy Mr. Mittens

Photo of a black dog with a white spot on her nose and a tabby cat with white paws and a white chest. The are sitting basically the same way and staring right at me.

I’m laying sick in bed the last couple days. The pets don’t know what to make of this. I’m sure they mean well, but the staring isn’t helping me feel better.

Chloe (a black spaniel mix dog) and Mr. Mittens (a brown tabby cat with white bib and paws) sit on either side of a hallway, staring at the viewer.

“Come play with us.”

For some reason this reminded me of the twin girls from The Shining.

Get #caturday kicked off with some doofusness from #MrMittens. Laying in wait, camouflaged under the bath mat, waiting for the time to spring onto the bird. #cats

A top down view onto a white tiled bathroom floor. There’s a white and grey floor mat with the back half of a tabby cat sticking out. His head and front paws are under the mat. His whole rear end and tail are plainly visible.

A similar top down view of the same white tiled bathroom floor. This time a slightly different coloured mat has a tabby tail visible. A lot more cat is under the mat this time. But the tail is totally hanging out.

#MrMittens is practicing his ostrich-style camouflage. When I took his photo, he knew the jig was up. So he hid in a different place.

Mr Mittens, a brown tabby cat, is lying by a window and showing off his six pink toe beans.

@miffyhelen #MrMittens says max 6 per paw.

An orange, blue and white patterned reusable grocery bag is lying on its side on a gray slate floor. A gray and black striped tail is protruding from the opening of the bag.

Waiting for someone to let the cat out of the bag.

A tabby cat with bright white paws has extended a paw under a running water faucet and lets the water run over it.
