@kaffando they help me find my way home
Oh, well in that case, I'll leave them there.
Pleased they're of use! -
@SharonCrockett @killick I use both. The more people that see
And I also capitalize the first letter of each word of multi-word tags to make it easier for screen readers to recognize word breaks: #CatsOfMastodon, but #catstodon
So as not to tease the hashtag, here are my two, #TheLadyCatherineAndNibbler

I joined #mastodon last week, on a whim, with no idea what to expect
Minutes later, I was welcomed by @dillyd which has never happened on any other platform and was a wonderful introduction. So I posted a couple pictures of my #cats, and found, to my surprise, people reacting and interacting
Maybe it's because I'm not fighting an algorithm, or maybe I just found a place where folks truly appreciate cats. Either way, I'm very happy to be here, and I hope you're prepared for more cat pictures
@rufustheduck @dillyd Apollo says welcome!

@rufustheduck @dillyd Welcome to the Fediverse. We're a friendly bunch in here, and there are a lot of people who like cats. BTW It's almost #Caturday.

Oh yeah. A whole lot of us are cat happy.
I also like that a lot of us are interested in things, and get to share about them among people who enjoy seeing each other doing what interests us. I find that fun and affirming.

@rufustheduck @dillyd you can try #catsOfMastodon too

@Clersev @rufustheduck @dillyd
Definitely try #caturday

@rufustheduck Oddly enough, I used to know a cat called Rufus. Even more oddly, he was black not ginger.
But then I had a cat called Tabitha who was a tortoiseshell. I don't know why she was Tabitha, that was her name when she came to live with me.
Abby says Hullo. She too arrived with her name, but I can guess at its origin. -
@orange_lux good news!
@rufustheduck @orange_lux Joey playing Exhibit A

@rufustheduck @dillyd@turtleisland.social Hi Rufus, you are clearly a wonderful addition to Mastodon and thanks to @dillyd for noticing this immediately. As I adore cats and am sadly also allergic to them, seeing cats is a delight for me. Good to have you here.

@nixanadoo it's so perfect I'm suspicious she puts it on with make-up
@rufustheduck perfect little kohl pencil
