@torvalds
New mascot for the kernel ?

It’s Caturday.

Minky is no longer with us, but this is probably my favorite picture of her.

@torvalds More toots like this.

@torvalds <3

@torvalds That’s a cute getup.

@torvalds she's not too fond of the clothes, but she still looks very adorable in them.

@torvalds They look very thrilled to be dressed up. 😆

@torvalds the void can barely be contained (and god forbid containment is breached)

@torvalds haha cute! 😄

@torvalds this is our kitty ( that's her name ). I'm sorry for your loss.

@torvalds inb4> people teaching Linus how to use alt-text

@torvalds
She conveys a lot of meaning with those eyes.

@torvalds

She seems un-chuffed with the bunnysuit.

😁

@torvalds "i'll kill you human" face but adorable outfit 😆

@torvalds

Did you suffer for this?

@torvalds #GrumpyCat Version 2.0 ...well at least he was nice enough to dress up for this picture.

@twizzay the vet claimed the peeing in the corners was due to kidney failure. But that face says “payback time”. You be the judge

@torvalds

Oh my gosh!!!

@torvalds @twizzay I doubt peeing in a corner would be a sign of kidney failure, unless the litter box was really really far away.

@10leej @torvalds

@twizzay You must be very lucky that @torvalds responded to your comment!

@torvalds May memory be a blessing... and that's a damn fine pic.

@torvalds @twizzay

Anytime one of my cats has peed outside the litter box has been a behavioural issue. Such as being picked on or startled. Obviously like any issue there could be several possibilities.

@torvalds i had 2 cats... i believe they were sent to this planet from outer space : ) so i wouldnt be surprised if you were right : )

@twizzay

@torvalds I do love cats, they are the deciders.

@torvalds Looks like she lived her best life.

@torvalds Also no longer, Jet, 3yrs ago this month. My meowter

@torvalds guess your plan was to stresstest the feediverse?

@torvalds um. Torvalds and caturday? o.O

@torvalds
Poor girl - you've got some scratches afterwards?

@torvalds very good cat

@torvalds @twizzay ohh, really sad :(

@torvalds I'm sorry to hear that, its never easy losing a member of the family like that. Much love 💜

@torvalds Nice picture! Should have been posted for #Caturday though...

@torvalds what a beautiful floofball! ❤️

@torvalds So sorry for that loss. Remember the passing of some of our doggos from days gone by and it's so sad.

@torvalds Sorry for the loss. Here's our Yinang, super composed, super chill Elliott. We lost him at 22-years. (Yep!) My wife's a veterinarian, Elliott had kidney disease, and we had lots of peed in corners, too — it's a real thing. But there's no doubt that payback sometimes factored in also (open suitcases, especially). That outfit you put her in — you deserved it!! 😹

@torvalds Sorry for your loss!

here is our Linus Clawvalds, a feisty cat with sharp nails, a loud meow but deep down a bit of a sweetheart.

Any resemblance to his namesake purely coincidental 🤣

@torvalds OMG... this pic is everything and every mood lol 😆

@torvalds really glad to see you followed my advice!

@torvalds adorable

@torvalds Almost impossible to not put human emotions into

@torvalds immaculate cat

@torvalds
Who is this adorable cutie?

@torvalds oh, she is so cute, rest in peace little black cutie

@torvalds proof?

The fact that we now have on our social space the ability for @torvalds & @Gargron to interoperate and both share cat photos may be the #Fediverse Open Source Singularity occurring.

@tchambers that'll be when @Gargron submits a patch to the LKML for a module to post cat pictures to ActivityPub directly from the kennel and @torvalds merges it without blinking.

@torvalds having lived with a cat, I see this as a magical creature. My cat would have left me with plenty of scratches if I tried to put even a hat on her.
