@rufustheduck Cats are the opposite of hidden on here! What a beauty, btw -- can't beat a black cat ‍

@rufustheduck I’d reply with Malik‍ sleeping, but he’s black with white spots, on a black mattress, in a dark room with only very very dim ambient light as I’m winding down for bed… so, a smartphone camera will not be able to pick anything discernable.

I've not experienced social media like this before. People seeing my posts? And replying? Madness! And no robot deciding that my #cats won’t infuriate anyone and so hiding them?

The people here have been super nice too. Sharing their own cats, giving me helpful tips, and replying with positivity. You're a real likeable bunch of weirdos

So I'll probably stick around, if that's okay….?

Here's another picture of Max sleeping... OR IS HE?

@rufustheduck here ya go.

@rufustheduck It's a surprisingly friendly place! I'm hoping it stays that way. You do run into the occasional jerk, but I just mute them and move along. And there are a LOT of helpful people here.

@rufustheduck I don't have a cat, so here's my gecko .

@rufustheduck Wait - I have to reply - My cat name is Rufus! Here is a picture of him

@rufustheduck That cat is looking at you sleepily and with love.

@rufustheduck @CrushingFlightoftheOwlbear Gunther would like to say hello to Max!

@rufustheduck @jemmesedi Re: Mastodon. I had the same (positive) experience. Once I really decided to get off the bird site, and put a modicum of effort into posting and replying, I quickly made connections, and found interesting people to follow. I did not feel like it was hard to find interesting people here, as some report. I just started with a few accounts, and it expanded organically. Glad to hear that you're enjoying your time on Mastodon
