Friday Cat Blogging – 18 September 2015

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


This is how I often take a shower: with an audience of one trying to figure out what I’m doing. Hopper is, by turns, fascinated (movement! sprinkly stuff!) and appalled (he’s covering himself with water! on purpose!). When I’m done, she peers suspiciously into the shower stall and eventually hops in. This gets her delicate little paws wet, so she sort of dances around as if she’s walking on hot coals. A few days later she’s forgotten all about this and we go through the whole routine yet again. With cats, nothing ever gets old.

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.

Today, reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget, allows us to dig deep on stories that matter, and lets us keep our reporting free for everyone. If you value what you get from Mother Jones, please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2022 demands.
