Heck I can give you a cat of the day.

Day 1. It was a dark and stormy Dash.

[–] catlover3000@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is this named after the incredibles character?

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

No after the fact that he lodged himself in our Dashboard when I rescued him off the highway as a kitten. Mechanic friend had to come take the dashboard apart.

I nominate my parents cat, Neo:

He gets bullied by my cat, which is half his size, and then hides in his homeless box.

I'm pretty sure posting 18 pictures of your cat at the slightest provocation constitutes a positive test result for toxoplasmosis

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

I got it scrolling. Will say that this was an opportunity for 18 upvotes that op did not take, so it might actually be conservative.

[–] aichan@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

Damn, upvote for effort, + cute cat

[–] Blan@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 week ago

I have no opinions, but I found this cat today and she made my week, so look at cookie.

Meet Mr Giles. He terrorizes the entire house while awake, then becomes this adorable snuggly sweetheart. altr

[–] buckydubs@piefed.ca 22 points 1 week ago

Bonus cat - our girl Moira being a derp. altr

This month, he helped with the bed.

A cat's muzzle is sticking out between the duvet and the duvet cover.

The same cat, white and grey with a long mane, is sticking out a little more and seems relaxed in the half-on duvet cover.

I hope we're not too late! Her name is Milka ♡

Izzy is the greyest cat on the Fediverse.

[–] orenj@leminal.space 17 points 1 week ago

Look at my idiot goblin, i love him so much

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Never gonna happen. Every time you try to judge, everyone just end up looking at pictures of cats all day.

... And Mao!

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Here's the legend himself! He has a look of betrayal because his mama smacked him for bothering her while she was napping.

Addition: I totally want to adopt him but I do not have the finances to swing it. So imma just hope that he's one of the lil ones that makes it to adulthood. Barn cat life is rough. Better than him staying a barn cat would be someone at the barn adopting him who can afford it.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Broccoli time.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Meow-san.

Her old feeder was Japanes and had audio. It would say "Meow-san" and then dispense her food. We don't have the automatic feeder, but the name stuck. This is "Meow-san".

I dislike this idea. How can we select one of all the excellent Lemmy cats?!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Simple - the Lemmy Cat of the Month is the cat whose post last month had the most updoots.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How can we tell which ones were posted by cats though?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Simple - we ask which side of a door they’d like to be on. Anyone who answers is obviously not a cat.

[–] shoe@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago

Our croaky old lady Tali wishes to be considered, and is actively supervising as I post this :)

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mocha is dropping his paw in to the ring.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Mocha can hear my thoughts cant he...

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I nominate Sencha

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I nominate @YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today's cat Furryosa, since we've been following her journey on here for like a year

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

Bonus sleepy pic!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for (most importantly) saving her, and for sharing her with us!

Luna would consider accepting the honor, but not if she has to get out of bed.

I would like to nominate Oily, because he's a goober!

[–] someone@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would like to show my cat, but he is so black he doesn't appear in darkness for now.

Yeah we don't have lamps in our cave.
