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

@Cycling_Liz I cycle, take photos of pretty places on my way to work in London, and while I don't have other pets, I do have a garden full of foxes. I haven't started knitting yet, but there's still time

@rufustheduck Ah you got me at the foxes! Let's see the foxes if you can get close enough 🥰 Welcome btw! It's a lot friendlier here than some other places.

@rufustheduck Welcome to the neighbourhood!

@dillyd

@Cycling_Liz how about this?

@stepheneb @rufustheduck @dillyd I had a calico called luna too!

@rufustheduck tell your cats I love them

@rufustheduck @dillyd
Louis says hello and thank you.

@rufustheduck @dillyd Cats! Here's one of mine

@Haikyoneko gorgeous!

@rufustheduck @dillyd

Oh no, you’ve done it now. I would like to point out that some of the crazy cat people here are actually interesting people in our own right, but we do get a bit carried away over cats.

@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.

@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.
