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 65 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Heck I can give you a cat of the day.

Day 1. It was a dark and stormy Dash.

[–] catlover3000@lemmy.ml 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Is this named after the incredibles character?

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

No after the fact that he lodged himself in our Dashboard when I rescued him off the highway as a kitten. Mechanic friend had to come take the dashboard apart.

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 5 days 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 5 days ago

Damn, upvote for effort, + cute cat

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

[–] Blan@sh.itjust.works 42 points 5 days ago

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

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I... I think all cats should be cat of the month... Can I nominate all cats? I nominate all cats for cat of the month. ALL CATS!!!!!!!!!

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 days ago

EVERY MONTH!!!

[–] buckydubs@piefed.ca 35 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] buckydubs@piefed.ca 29 points 5 days ago

Bonus cat - our girl Moira being a derp. altr

[–] troot@piefed.blahaj.zone 36 points 5 days ago

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.

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".

[–] Papik1999@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

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

Izzy is the greyest cat on the Fediverse.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Mocha is throwing his paw in to the ring.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

Mocha can hear my thoughts cant he...

[–] orenj@leminal.space 21 points 4 days ago

Look at my idiot goblin, i love him so much

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago

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

I nominate Rally's Crispy Fish Sandwich!

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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 4 days ago

Broccoli time.

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

I nominate Molly

I would like to nominate Oily, because he's a goober!

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

... And Mao!

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

I nominate Sencha

[–] shoe@feddit.uk 12 points 4 days ago

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

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I nominate nelly IMG_20260416_080914

[–] leriotdelac@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How can we tell which ones were posted by cats though?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Simple - we ask which side of a door they’d like to be on. Anyone who answers is obviously not a cat.

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I nominate @YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today's cat Furryosa, since we've been following her journey on here for like a year

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

Bonus sleepy pic!

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.

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.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

My daily cat app: “am I a joke to you?”
