Ursa chilling in the Fortress of Catitude! #CatsOfMastodon
Ursa Minor says, “No Magic, only kibbles!”
We’ve been playing with two of the #DoctorWho Commander decks. I picked the “TimeyWimey” deck because I really loved the story through the tenth and eleventh doctors. Christie picked the set with the thirteenth doctor
We’re finding that in 1-v-1 play it’s overpowered. Rose keeps snowballing, #BadWolf indeed! #MtG #MagicTheGathering
Ursa Minor gets wet food with extra water for breakfast and dinner. At lunch and bedtime he gets a few kibbles in a puzzle dish. We tried a puzzle ball, but it seemed annoy him given the force he used to smash it into walls.
He’s very food motivated, having been the runt of his litter. Anytime we’re having food, he wants food too. If we’re “late” we get adorable drama until we feed him.
“Khajiit has land if you have coin.”
These two look ready to drop their next great folk album. #CatsOfMastodon #DogsOfMastodon #CatsAndDogsLivingTogether
Ursa Minor is part trash panda. He loves playing in holiday trash and at Christmas I replace his old horde of ribbon with fresh ones. This pile has been moved to the dining room table and he was happily digging and rolling in the ribbons.
Just told Ursa Minor it’s the last #Caturday of 2023. #CatsOfMastodon
Really he’s just fascinated by the smell of the #NervousSystemPuzzle @christi3k gave me for Christmas. It’s laser cut wood and does smell interesting-good.
The face of a catten forced to accept the second-best snuggle spot next to a working Mama. This after meowing loudly with his face up against my wife’s closed office door.
Ursa Minor wishes you a happy, bitey #Caturday!
Ursa being so damn cute my heart rate alarm went off! He likes to snuggle up to some cashmere critters made by a dear friend. #CatsOfMastondon #cat #UrsaMinorCat #UpcycledSweaters
Extra lounge-y Ursa Minor. Usually in the morning he wants to play with string or have fight cuddles. Occasionally he’s just languid and adorable. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #Catstodon #UrsaMinorCat
Ursa has been spending more time hanging out in his cat-sized izakaya! We’ve only had it for two years!

Last night I set our smallest laundry basket inside a larger one. This morning Ursa, who adores being in laundry baskets, figured out how to get in the nested baskets! He was very pleased and proud of his efforts.
Ursa Minor sneaking up to wish me a very bitey #Caturday. Earlier this year he started sneaking up or furiously diving at me to bite my lower legs. Most often it is fairly gentle, occasionally he gets too feisty and I have to pick him up and hold him like an ornery, sharp baby until his hunting instinct subsides.
My amygdala has primal, ancient hominid opinions about this game. He stalks my wife, but doesn’t attack her. I’m also the Mama he wants “fight cuddles” from, so hunting me must be in this range of behaviors he associates with me.
Good morning, here’s Ursa Minor preparing to pounce!
He likes to burrow like a wily badger.
I just realized I haven’t shared an Ursa Minor update since late August! To make up for the lack of cat content here’s a trio of pictures of Ursa in laundry baskets from IKEA. Bertie, our English bulldog, appears in one of the pictures.
More Ursa Minor in his favorite laundry basket.

Today I’ve been getting our Christmas tree put up. Ursa is so here for this seasonal treat. #Cat #CatsOfMastodon #UrsaMinorCat #ChristmasTree
Chris Mackay 🇨🇦@PDXyogini Polydactyl!
Sofia ☭🇧🇷☭@PDXyogini naughty kitty! If you want him to stop you can just yell really loud as if he's hurting you, even if he isn't really. My cat when I was a kid thought everyone was fair game to attack and at a certain point it stops being cute...
@sofiav most of the time he is so gentle it’s just fine. It definitely startles me when I unexpectedly feel teeth, especially when he’s quiet and stealthy!
Every once in a while he tackles me with force and I pick him up. He settles down once he’s being carried around, he loves being carried. I feel like his begging to be carried, where he stands up against us and reaches his paws up high, has evolved into hunting me.
@PDXyogini so precious 😍😭😍

@PDXyogini @yudderick I found that to be the case with the lotr sets too, haven’t gotten to play them with a group yet!
@aronow @yudderick I’m guessing it’s not an uncommon issue with these constructed decks. The Times-Wimey deck would get out of control if there were two more players keeping it in check.
