Max - furious with me because... well, I don't know, but I'm bound to have done something wrong

Max, perched on my foot, about to clamber up my leg using his claws

A look of true determination in his eyes

I joined #mastodon on New Year’s Day, with no idea what to expect

I found somewhere totally different to other social media. No ads, no algorithm, and a massive number of really nice people. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and comfortable in this unique place you call the #fediverse

But the best part is how much you all like cats (because me too)

Here’s Molly, sitting between my knees and staring at me until I give her treats

It's not surprising that people who inherit wealth believe in eugenics

Eugenics tells them that some people are born superior

...and that’s why they DESERVE daddy’s money! Their genes say so!

You may know me from all the cat pictures I post. But I'm also an English teacher

Let me tell you how a sentence can have 11 HADs in a row and still be correct

(Also, Max makes a brief appearance in this video)

This is not my cat

I often see him sitting on some bins (that's British for dumpsters) as I cycle home

He's usually busy doing important cat things (sitting and staring), but occasionally I'm allowed to approach and say hello

Not for too long though. He's got to get back to cat business. That sitting and staring's not going to do itself

Molly, having a lazy day - scrolling, commenting on bird videos, getting into arguments with other cats

I hope this lifestyle isn't damaging her mental health
