cats
One problem with Mastodon that bothers me is that you can't change your user ID, your nickname, so to speak. To do so, you have to move your account, migrate to another account, which can be on the same instance.This comes with the inconvenience of not being able to move your posts automatically.
I had my first account in late 2016, with Mastodon newly created, shortly after my first Twitter account. I didn't use it much and then switched to this instance (infosec.exchange) to follow people and information related to infosec and bugbounty (bughuntercat).
Then I got tired of that cat and migrated to this account with my real name. I can't seem to get comfortable with this. Maybe it's my habit of hiding and my reluctance to use real personal information online.
I no longer even know who I really am, so I pretend to be someone else.
I have an account that's the oldest I have right now, and I'm tempted to move everything there. In the end, people don't really care who you are or if you even exist. It would have to be something permanent because I'm getting old and my autistic ass doesn't like so many changes at all. I've moved 45 times in my 62 years of life and it seems I have the urge to do the same with my online digital spaces. To read the work of good people who do hacking, programming, and tinkering I really like this instance with the devices, so well managed by Jerry @jerry .
I only have Mastodon and an Instagram account that I share with my wife. I know that I may not have much time left in this world since my health is plummeting like a kamikaze plane and I don't want to continue wasting my time on vain things.
I don't even know why I'm telling you this, which by right might not matter.
I want to have and live an autistic, almost monk-like life, quiet and without looking out the window at that toxic world in which I have lived for many years. Thank you for sharing your cats, memes, jokes, and your work here.

It has been a nappy-cuddly kind of day today

The weather’s turning colder, and I decided to order a heating pad for Lola the kitty,
so she’ll always have a warm place to lie down even when my lap isn’t available.
It arrived today, and Lola claimed it immediately.
The first photo is Lola on her new pad, and the second one was the marketing photo. Twins, right?
(Actually, my Lola has the cuter pink nose.)
You and me together - handmade watercolor painting - for all (cat) lovers...

Gottfried Mind, The Raphael of Cats
Labelled a “cretin” and “imbecile” in his lifetime, the Swiss artist Gottfried Mind had profound talents when it came to drafting the feline form. Kirsten Tambling reconstructs the biography of this elusive figure, whose savant-like qualities inspired later French Realists, early psychiatric theorists, and Romantic visions of the artist as outsider.

When Doots is cold (or scared) he doesn’t get all poofy, but he does get a ridge of fur that rises along his back. Sometimes his tail gets poofy, but usually only when he’s startled.
Happy Caturday!

I can’t resist … here’s another shot of Lola enjoying her new heating pad.
After a day in cat hospital (all seems well now), desk cat service is resumed!
