    Organism - Cats of Yore @CatsOfYore Here is a thread of cats destroying our stuff throughout history, because they've always done it and they always will and for some reason we will keep loving them for it. Two Young Women Wrapped in Yukata After a Bath. Kitagawa Utamaro, ca. 1796. ukiyo- e.org/image/met/DP13... ALT 10:10 PM. Aug 15, 2022. Twitter Web App ALT 14.8K Retweets 661 Quote Tweets 62.7K Likes

    Now, this may say 'two young women wrapped in Yakuta after a bath' but all we see is us getting ready in the morning with our kitten refusing to accept reality. And by that we mean that we have to go off to work, to make money for all those vet bills and cat toys.

    Mischief back in 1858 sure looks a lot like mischief in today's modern world. The same little criminal was caught red-pawed after knocking down absolutely anything and everything. It's also the cat's silly facial expression that gets us. 100% resemblance.

It shows Cardinal Richelieu distracted from his important work by kittens. And such a complacent mamacat! 4:38 PM. Aug 16, 2022. Twitter Web App C.D.LONY
