A customer has been walked through a high-end custom kitchen setup. Top-line appliances, imported finishes, marble worktops, brass fittings, the works. We sit down to go through the itemised quote. As expected, it’s not cheap.
Customer: "I’m sorry, this can’t be right. This is the price with installation?"

22 Cozy Cat Memes for a Friday Full of Flicks, Fur, and Fun
Jul. 11th, 2025 02:00 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
Friday night? Time to paws everything because it's meowvie night! When the sun sets and the snacks come out, cats across the land settle in for some serious screen time. Sure, they might not follow the plot, but they're all about the purrspective.
First, they claim the coziest blanket (and the remote), then dramatically knock over the popcorn just to prove they're the real stars of the show. Every action scene becomes a zoomie trigger, and any emotional moment is a cue for them to sit directly in front of the screen. Need subtitles? Too bad, there's a tail in the way.
Rom-coms? They'll sit through it, but only if there's a lap involved. Horror? That's just background noise for a late-night game of claw-the-couch. And if it's a nature documentary? Expect some paws on interaction with the wildlife on screen.
At the end of the night, the cat's curled up, the snacks are gone, and no one remembers what the movie was about, but it doesn't matter. Because Fridays are for fur, flicks, and feline drama.

22 Pawfect Pictures of Cozy Cats in PJs Ready to Sleep Away the Weekend
Jul. 11th, 2025 01:00 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
When it comes to bedtime furshion, cats in PJs are the cozy kings and queens of cuteness. These pajama-clad purrfectionists prove even the fluffiest creatures know how to relax in style. Whether it's a tiny onesie, a snug hoodie, or striped sleepers, these sleepyheads rock their bedtime look with pawsome flair.
Cats in PJs don't just nap. They purrform serious snooze sessions, curled up tighter than a catnip mouse in a mitten. They're champions of chill, masters of midnight cuddles, and sultans of snuggle. And if you think they're just in it for comfort, think again. Those pajamas add an extra dose of adorable that's almost too much to handle!
Sometimes they flash the classic "I'm ready for bedtime" side-eye, like, "Hooman, why are you still up?" Other times, they wiggle and squirm trying to get those PJs just right, proving even the fluffiest fashionistas can be finicky.
No matter the style, cats in PJs bring a whole new meaning to "catnap couture," turning bedtime into a catwalk of cuteness!

This whiskered wanderer started as a skittish visitor, hissing from afar and vanishing for weeks at a time. But over the past couple of months, she's gone from cautious guest to full-time purrsistor. Rain-soaked paws and early-morning meows turned into long naps and heart-melting cuddles. Despite gentle efforts to encourage her to return to her original humans, she keeps choosing the place where she feels safe, warm, and wanted.
Her official pawrents? Barely batted an eye. No missing posters, no concerned knocks, just a casual "Oh yeah, that's our cat!" and a laugh about her new feeding spot. They didn't even know her name. One might say this kitty has been emotionally abandoned without the paperwork.
Now, the human who's been unintentionally adopted is stuck between a cat and a hard place. Rental rules forbid pets, but the guilt of turning away a feline who's clearly chosen her new family is crushing. She's underweight, underloved, and over the old home. And she's not going back without a fight… or a nap first.
