I am asking the wild wild void of #FediFelines how one might wash the dirty testes of a 6mo black-and-white kitten, which were hitherto yellow before a wash, and are now white-ish with some black spots visible. How? Why is there dirt there when he's an indoor cat? What did he sit on, and is it a lost cause? How can I encourage him to clean himself more thoroughly.

Please do not ask me to butter his balls.

Got a breakthrough with my fearful foster kitten! Somehow this became a midnight stroll with two cats on one leash. It is a bit of chaos. #FediFelines #catsofmastodon

Calvin (BC, Canada) has so many toys at home. But his favourite is his friend Slurpee because he allows Slurpee to sit on his head.

Harry (Greater London, UK) very helpfully destroyed a lamp today by running at full speed into its electrical wire, pulling it violently onto the floor. Obviously, that room did not need any extra light really.

Kameo (Alberta, Canada) likes it when his human plays with him by throwing a piece of kibble across the floor. He frantically chases it, bounding across the room with his paws flopping around trying to grab it before he loses track of it.

Some extra humans have temporarily joined the household. Bumble (Buckinghamshire, UK) has already trained young Benjamin to get out of bed and turn the bathroom sink tap on for her nightly drink when she meows loudly into his ear.

Pippin (BC, Canada) has become a laptop follower. One of his humans set up the laptop on the dining table and he jumped up to investigate. The laptop was moved to the bedroom, and so he had to come too. When it moved to the living room, Pippin was right behind it.

Out and about with foster kitty Sweety!

Natalie (Durham, UK) has magicked her way up to the top shelf of the pantry, and it is not clear how. It is also not clear how she intends to get down again, but for now she is happy.

Dori (West Netherlands, Netherlands) is quite exhausted by the humans going in and out and in and out of the house, with bicycles and picnic blankets and all sorts. Dori is content to just yawn and ignore them all.

Päivi (Central Ostrobothnia, Finland) is very unhappy about her service. She had to wait ONE MINUTE for her food. Far too long. Food has to be done in 30 seconds. Sometimes even that is too long. But Päivi has a good trick, she makes an evil stare. Then service is a bit better and quicker.

The humans set out lots of big bits of paper to do some craft, but Doug (Somerset, UK) decided that paper is clearly for sitting on. So now the humans must accept they have crafted him a sitting space and that will have to do.

Whenever his human sneezes, Darcy (Quebec, Canada) replies. It is not yet known whether it is a meow in imitation or irritation, but he does it every single time.

Marsha (Ontario, Canada) has spotted chicken nuggets, and now that is her main priority for the evening. Her humans were eating them while they watched a movie, but now instead they are constantly moving the plate and Marsha has no intention of giving up though.

Whenever the human goes to the toilet, Linda (Berlin, Germany) has to come running as well. First she wants to be pet, then she wants to make her business, together.

aaaaaaw, thank you. I'll purrobably send out a new call with the hashtag #FediFelines

To honor the best day of the week, behold our dear, departed fluff ball: Butterscotch. This is the picture which prompted a buddy of mine to say, "She looks mean enough to laser a tree in half with that gaze." 🤣

Our neighbors' kitties (a third one rejects publicity today) posing nicely for a future meme while pretending they're in a mewseum installation.
