    Wherever one of our cats has paused before a jump we say they’re doing the “kitty math” - calculating the force, distance, trajectory, etc. This cat looks like it’s doing the kitty math to grab that dish. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

    “Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like &quot;save yourself who&#39;s able/can&quot; and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

    I think this might be my favorite photo in my collection. It&#39;s the one I picture being on the cover of a book if I ever make one someday. The light, her face, the way she&#39;s supporting the kitten so lovingly. ❤️ No date/info.
