I knew Mark Twain had loved cats - lived with up to 19! - but what I somehow had never heard/read until today was that he used to rent cats when he traveled and left money behind to continue their care for years afterward. 😻

Mark Twain Liked Cats Better Than People

Who wouldn't?

Here are some pictures of my dogs, enjoy! 🐶📸

I’ve had these photos saved on my phone for ages and even shared a few early on when I had zero followers, lol. 😂

I don’t live with my mom anymore, so I don’t get to see them as often, but they’re still incredibly cute. 🥰🐕

I’m definitely more of a cat person than a dog person. No offense to dog lovers, I just happen to be a proud ailurophile. 🐱💖

MURPHY'S LAW OF CATS: When your cat sits on anything you might need--whether it's your laptop, keys, books, papers, or projects spread across the floor/table, etc.--at the EXACT moment you need to use it. Cats have the uncanny ability to sense this & so they'll go out of their way to ensure they'll get 100% of your attention. "Oh, did you actually need to use that?" Insert cat smirk here.🤣

Does anyone else have cats who like to hop up on their home entertainment units and plop their furry rears RIGHT in the middle of the TV screen WHILE the TV is on so that they're 100% impossible to see around, or, more to the point, impossible to ignore?!🤣

Sure my brother has perfect pitch, is really smart and went to college with more than one full scholarship offer and got an aeronautical engineering degree.

But he's also allergic to cats and dogs so on the whole I think I got the better deal.

Today's Prompt (Jan 31):
#Ailurophile
The ailurophile portrait artist nervously unveiled the painting of Commander McFluffy, leader of the great Battle of Yarnspool, Purple Heart recipient for injuries sustained in combat against the horrible Super-Soaker weapon, and emancipator of felt mice trapped beneath Sub-zero fridge.
The Commander paused in his string engagement to look over the work and purred contentedly.
