Offbeat: So, @ohmgee gave us so many cat photos that we couldn’t decide

  • Martin Gee, a talented illustrator friend of ours, loves his cat Citrus (shown eating and baring his teeth), and he takes the kind of cat photos that make us glad we’re not diabetic. We put up nearly all of the photos he gave us (which also include uber-poofy orange cat Riley and white/grey cat Zoe), because we couldn’t decide. source

San Francisco wants to ban declawing, saying it’s a simple animal cruelty issue. (It’s kinda like a concealed weapons law, really.)
