I nominate my parents cat, Neo:

He gets bullied by my cat, which is half his size, and then hides in his homeless box.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago

Heck I can give you a cat of the day.

Day 1. It was a dark and stormy Dash.

I'm pretty sure posting 18 pictures of your cat at the slightest provocation constitutes a positive test result for toxoplasmosis

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 7 points 1 month ago

I got it scrolling. Will say that this was an opportunity for 18 upvotes that op did not take, so it might actually be conservative.

[–] aichan@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago

Damn, upvote for effort, + cute cat

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So cute! Hooray for pasta and food-based pet names!

[–] Blan@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 month ago

I have no opinions, but I found this cat today and she made my week, so look at cookie.

Meet Mr Giles. He terrorizes the entire house while awake, then becomes this adorable snuggly sweetheart. altr

[–] buckydubs@piefed.ca 28 points 1 month ago

Bonus cat - our girl Moira being a derp. altr

This month, he helped with the bed.

A cat's muzzle is sticking out between the duvet and the duvet cover.

The same cat, white and grey with a long mane, is sticking out a little more and seems relaxed in the half-on duvet cover.

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 32 points 1 month ago

Izzy is the greyest cat on the Fediverse.

[–] Papik1999@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

I hope we're not too late! Her name is Milka ♡

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Never gonna happen. Every time you try to judge, everyone just end up looking at pictures of cats all day.

Here's the legend himself! He has a look of betrayal because his mama smacked him for bothering her while she was napping.

Addition: I totally want to adopt him but I do not have the finances to swing it. So imma just hope that he's one of the lil ones that makes it to adulthood. Barn cat life is rough. Better than him staying a barn cat would be someone at the barn adopting him who can afford it.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Broccoli time.

Meow-san.

Her old feeder was Japanes and had audio. It would say "Meow-san" and then dispense her food. We don't have the automatic feeder, but the name stuck. This is "Meow-san".

I dislike this idea. How can we select one of all the excellent Lemmy cats?!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Simple - the Lemmy Cat of the Month is the cat whose post last month had the most updoots.

Our croaky old lady Tali wishes to be considered, and is actively supervising as I post this :)

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 10 points 1 month ago

Luna would consider accepting the honor, but not if she has to get out of bed.

Would like to show my cat 'Mimicha', but he is so black he doesn't appear in darkness for now.

Yeah we don't have lamps in our cave.

[–] lath@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Don't have evidence of it, but I heard a cat get into a fight with a magpie earlier and it lost.
I would like to nominate its achievement and shame it in absentia.
