christine, For my hackathon project I did try to make CFA (Cat Factor Authentication, using your cat's microchip as a second factor) a thing 😆 The project did win a prize, but more for the experimentation then the actual result https://wpengine.com/blog/hackathon-december-2023/
jeffowski, This 1961 photo is called “The Mob”, and was shot by professional cat photographer Walter Chandoha. Originally a WW II combat photographer, his signature style was filming cats at their eye level. He collected nearly 100,000 cat photographs and it’s pretty cool that someone made a career out of this.

jeffowski, @nyrath -- See the Alt-Text I placed on the photo?
Me too.

Have you heard about Iwago Mitsuaki and Oki Masayuki?
Both are Japanese cat photographers, and there even is a short documentary about the first one: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3004939/

feditips, When you write hashtags that contain multiple words, make the first letter of each word a capital letter, for example #DogsOfMastodon. This will make the tag readable to blind people.
Blind people use the internet through screen reader apps, which read text out aloud. By putting a capital at the start of each word in a hashtag, you are telling the screen reader how to say the tag correctly.
In the non-techy world this is generally known as "CamelCase".
(Techy people may call it PascalCase)
mrdk, @feditips The right convention would be anyway to call it “CamelCase” if the word start with a capital letter and “dromedaryCase” if it does not. 🐫
hicoo, @feoh @feditips The #CamalCase also makes it easier to find hashtags eg #BooksOfMastodon or #DogsOfMastodon then you can follow the hashtag to keep up with what's going on.
A good way to connect with other people of same interests or hobbies.
peternoahthomas, Take me to your weeder.

AmiW, @peternoahthomas Oh nice. Who took the photo? I saw it on Instagram.
mitch, Please help my new server collect caches. Boost this threatening photo of my cat, Teddy.
mdh, @mitch I see you too have what is known as a generic internet cat around my house. Please meet (names translated from Portuguese):
- ham and cheese toasted sandwich (first pic)
- coffee with milk (our generic internet cat in the second)

BigJesusTrashcan, #CatsofMastodon Scottish wildcats have been released into the Cairngorms National Park.
Known as Highland tigers, they are Scotland’s last remaining native cat species.
Native stuff always rules
ragnell, @BigJesusTrashcan Angry tabby tigers.

garius, Realised I've never shared Napoleon the feral kitty's story here, so here we go.
This is Napoleon, and this is the story of his nine-month journey from a hungry, desperate feral street cat to snuggly duvet monster. /1 🧵 #cats
garius, Cats Protection had asked us to keep him in for AT LEAST two weeks after neutering, ideally more, before releasing him as there just wasn't a permanent home available.
Once he finally mastered the litter tray, we decided to let him roam the house at least.
And that's when he jumped on the bed in our room and discovered...
...duvets. /17
garius, We left the patio door open though. Because by that point both my wife and I had admitted we'd quite like it if he came back.
But we'd decided it had to be up to him.
That done, I went upstairs for a nap.
And then, about two hours later, I was woken by the feeling of something trying to snuggle up between my arm and my side... /22
PogoWasRight, PSA concerning daylight savings time.
DietskevdBrugge, @PogoWasRight Eind maart denken ze daar heel anders over, zo is mijn ervaring
KayVay, @PogoWasRight
I told my husband this morning that whoever thought daylight savings time was a good idea and implemented it (no, I don’t care who or how many people it was), hates pets and small children.
Imo, they should be tarred and feathered, hypothetically of course. Maybe twice a year? 🤔
heatharcadia, I bought my cats a cat bed for Christmas, and it shipped in a box that I fear will be a bigger hit than the bed itself. #caturday #catsofmastodon #catstodon #cats #cutecats

A tale as old as time.
xs4me2, Of course ;)

SvenGeier, @BlippyTheWonderSlug I love how it is not at all clear which one is which...
Luke, Was just running through which #macintosh models I have and stepped out for a minute and returned to see Cinder as the #catintosh.
Big smiles for me.
deutrino, @Luke I love black cats so much
Luke, Okay, Blizzard wants #catintosh representation, too.
Some crazy sneaking and pawing at balls rolling by, too.#macintosh #M0001W #Mac512k #blizzard #catsofmastodon #caturday
