What a beautiful calico!

I know exactly where this is. This is Gould’s. If you go to this article about its potential closure, the cat access window is at the end of the aisle to the left of the bottom of the staircase. You can see the black edge of the windowframe. The third photo down in the article shows the window up close (sans cat). I spent many happy hours (and parted with many dollars) in Gould’s. There was always at least one cat in residence – with over two million books, the services of a good mouser are invaluable. Something of the soul of the place went when the original owner died, but the family is trying to keep it going. I thought it had closed down, but the website is still active, so maybe not?
You should at least read about Bob Gould, to see why independent bookstores and free speech go hand in hand in society. (Gould’s always had a comprehensive LGBTQIA+ section.)
Funny, how one picture posted on this random website by a canadian blogger who probably didn’t even know the origin could be so instantly recogniseable to someone who’s actually been there, and knows it couldn’t be anywhere else on earth.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you don’t have homemade fur to keep you warm in the winter, store-bought is fine
fun fact my cat & i are both blind so we accidentally run into each other sometimes, but bc im much louder than he is, when we get close to each other he chirps to warn me he’s there
Thank u for sharing this is beautiful solidarity
Three guesses where the heat register is …

Three guesses which side of the verandah the sun was hitting.
(Yes, your kitty has a doppelganger. Say hi to Nick, former street kitty, great mother, princess with claws like razors.)

“I wonder how this baby sounds”
“Ah. Like a mix between an electronic device on the fritz and what I imagine a baby raptor sounds like. Got it!”
I see, so it speaks fluent power drill.
The alarm seems to be going on your small furry device.
even after reading the comments I was not prepared
Fun fact: am currently sitting in a car shop while the nice mechanics change my tires. Sound of baby caracal indistinguishable from sound of power tools. Actually had to double check the video sound was on.

This brings me much joy
This is the greatest video ever posted on the internet
Fun Fact: Kittens learn to hunt their prey using their mother’s tail. This is so cute cause this tail is a lot faster than a cat’s tail but the kitten is doing their best. ❤🐈
Cute 🙂
So what I’m hearing is that training with a dog is going to turn this cat into the APEX PREDATOR
Just received my size 50 knitting needles in the mail, and I’m pretty sure these are weapons, not craft making tools
The cat’s face
I almost scrolled past this, butthe cat’s face.The cat has just realized you are Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The cat dreams of being as cool as you. The cat needs you to show it your vampire-slayage secrets. This cat has dreams. This cat has goals. This cat will achieve.
What are you even gonna knit with those? A hammock?
