Friday Cat Blogging – 13 May 2011

It’s Friday the 13th! To commemorate the occasion, here’s a picture of a black cat looking….unlucky. Or something. And anyway, Domino is only mostly black. Can a cat with white paws really be unlucky? On the right, we have Inkblot pushing his luck as he climbs up the rose bush in our backyard. There was something on the sidewalk outside our house that attracted his attention, but I don’t know what. Whatever it was, he got bored quickly and hopped down. Hopefully without stepping on a thorn first.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
