Norbert - sleeping balanced on the headrest of a chair

One of his favourite spots

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)

Two cats left their shadows behind

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

Max & Norbert - together in their favourite spot

This is Molly - a wild animal that lives in my house and sleeps on my bed

She thinks I’m a master hunter, because I leave home and come back with all kinds of wonderful things to eat

I’m not, of course. Humans are hunter-gatherers, and I’m leaning heavily into the gatherer side of things - by going to the shop and gathering cat food

She repays my successful gathering by being fluffy & adorable

So I got a good deal
