It’s Caturday! Which means time for mushrooms and spuds, I guess?

The mushroom girls sniffing noses — Porcini and Portabella (aka Bella):

(His full name is Potato, as all our cats have names that start with “P”, but that’s more of whatever the antonym of hypocorism is (hypercorism?) for Spud.)

Paladin doesn’t like the pâté wet food, so I’m giving it to the ferals; they’re not as picky. Here’s Spud enjoying it:
