This hole is also believed to be the origin of the nursery rhyme “Hickory Dickory Dock” (…the mouse ran up the clock…). #history #catsofmastodon

littlemiao, 11 months ago to random Here is an adoption day purr for all to enjoy! #Sprocket #Purr #Cat #Cats #Tripawd #CatsOfMastodon #Video #Mastocats #Miaolings A black and white kitty purring for about twenty seconds. The view is a closeup of his floofy cheek and when he turns his head he shows off his adorable profile. At that point his purrs also get breathier.

jsvilliers, 11 months ago to random Looks pretty cute being playful on the bed. Flip the image and he suddenly looks really quite disturbed. #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #OpticalIllusion The same photo but upside down, so the cat now appears with his head the right way round. His facial expression now appears anxious, and with nothing supporting his body his whole demeanour becomes unnatural, like he's been caught red-pawed in a nefarious act and has frozen in the hope of not being spotted.
