@saltywizard It's true. Sometimes she will bat me with one of those tiny white paws so cute, it's almost surprising when her claws are out. How could such a sweet baby kitty also be nature's perfect killing machine?

@davep ️️️

@jzb Oh, don't worry - she gets her share - just, apparently, not quickly enough.

@tantramar Right? How could I withhold whipped cream, even knowing what may happen in the litter box later? It's worth it to make her happy. 🥹

@lucybeahere Thank you! She's just the sweetest, goofiest beast. ️

I couldn't keep this picture until Caturday. Here's The Lady Catherine begging for whipped cream. #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #TheLadyCatherine #CatherineLadyDarlington #LadyCatherineOfDarlington #FediCats

@skinnylatte Oho - now here's where my predilection for taking blurry pictures of pigeons at the great sites of the world may pay off.

@evacide I should have let people be ignorant about journalism. I failed. Sigh. I'll aim to do better. /gen

@ben @scottjenson So, a little context from a former journalist: I asked my boss if I could start and manage a mastodon account for my publication, and she advised that we would have to conduct a study to justify the use of my time - a company asset - by measuring traffic that mastodon drove to our site. Because this is a respectful space, there was no real way to track clicks, so I couldn't justify it and I ended up deleting the account I had already started. It's often not a matter of the journalist's lack of imagination or excess of ego, but their need to meet metrics.

@kodamux Yep, you're killing it so far! I suggest writing a post about one of your interests and putting in a bunch of related hashtags at the bottom. Animal pictures, plant pictures, and moss pictures all seem to do well, too. I highly recommend #Mosstodon for a refreshing place to rest your eyes and mind.

@occult Oh, boy. That's not super great practice. You should see me at the supermarket when someone is standing too close at checkout.

@webidebi That's a great photo! Thanks for sharing both it and your intriguing words.
