Friday Cat Blogging – 30 October 2009

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

Today’s picture is life imitating art.  Or is it art imitating life?  Hard to say.  Is Windows wallpaper art?  Is Inkblot life as we know it?  Questions, questions, questions.

(Note: I’m talking about the picture below, not the one on the left.)

And here’s another question: who’s the cutest cat of them all?  Inkblot knows the answer, but as an employee-by-concatenation of the Foundation for National Progress, aka the publisher of Mother Jones magazine, he’s ineligible for our upcoming cat contest.  But your cat isn’t!  Go here and register a first-round vote in our contest to find the cutest cat made into a Mother Jones cover.  If you think you can do better, make a cover out of your cat and submit it for the cat-off to be held in two weeks.  May the best cat win.

As for Inkblot, the powers-that-be tell me that he’ll be appearing in costume on our home page over the weekend.  An e-costume, of course.  Check it out tomorrow.

UPDATE: No, it turns out that it’s Domino who gets the e-costume.  Which is appropriate since she’s the black cat in the house.  So everyone gets a picture this week!

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
