Fellow tuxie fan here, too. Mr. Mao is most definitely the king of the castle and is quite the chubby little charmer.

Just wanna mention that my mom called them "Sylvester cats." (We had one.) But tuxedo is a nice description. Then there are "cow cats" (white with big black spots). Why don't we call tuxedos "penguin kitties"? Just thinking out loud....I mean, on line.

Simply loving story! Thank you for it...fellow Maine Coon-er here.

Barring one, all the best cats I've ever known have been tuxedo'd.

My tuxie, too! Even rabid cat haters say to me, "Well, I hate cats... but I like *THIS* cat..." and I can see in Mikhail's eyes, he's saying,"Yes... my plan... it's working."

I am also part of the tuxedo cat club. Von Kitty charms every visitor I receive.

Hey, there's no need to be so fucking classist. These aren't "tuxedo cats"; they're just dressed reasonably: it's after five, and they're not farmers.

Team cat headquarters here,

I try to respond to as many comments as I can and for some reason or another, this comment was one I felt like responding to. Probably because it was so patently ridiculous. Sometimes (not all the time) I like to speak to the trolls. Sometimes it turns out that they're not trolls but people who just didn't understand…

Wait what? I don't remember that.

Well, that's just plain awful. As someone who was in the military, I can speak to the amount of damage all of this infidelity and drama do, and how much more prolific it is in the military compared to the civilian world.

Thank you for this! I think this music video was terrible because it was cheesy and just after school-special-y, but I didn't get the 'appropriation' outrage either, which I knew Jez and some other sites would jump on ASAP. And I'm a POC as well, FWIW.

Yeah, it was a dumb song and video, but I didn't see it as "cultural appropriation" as much as "watch how much Taylor Swift sucks at all different styles of dance." People would've complained even more about an all-white cast for the hip hop and twerking scenes (which are mainstream dance forms by this point, so I…

wow. Can't win can she. If she uses "people of color" she is guilty of "cultural appropriation" (that's what Pol Pot did and was the main reason he was evil). If she doesn't use "people of color" at some point in the video she is being racist.

I am pretty certain there were white women in the mix anyway. I thought it was a cute song, throwaway pop, sure, but still cute. She represented all kinds of dance, didn't seem to be "appropriating" any of it, but rather was just having fun traveling through all the styles. She clearly wasn't in earnest as a hip hop…

I'm all for pointing out cultural appropriation and calling out those who perpetrate it, but I fail to feel outrage over this video. I mean at least Taylor thinks that it's a dance equivalent to ballet and interpretive instead of going, "eww black girls shaking their asses, yuck". And if all the dancers were white,…

I dragged my snot-nosed little bastards, I mean angelic creatures of the womb of another, out shopping today. Clothes, glasses, tattoos. I'm exhausted and broke.

East Hills Mall is where I cut my teen shopping teeth. It is the place where I discovered Elvis had died - Mom and I were in the record store the name of which is lost in time. It is where a bunch of friends and I followed a security guard around for an hour to make sure he didn't shoplift - he had accused one of my…

I still find it hard to believe that we invaded a country because we could. It is fucking sad and amazing.
