Hi! I’m Molly Hodgdon. I live in Vermont with my beautiful FIV+ cats Fergus and Francie. Banner photo by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from my collection mailed 1908. Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

A round friend from 19th century Japan. collections.lacma.org/node/188351

A pleasantly round and soft-looking ivory carving of a very fat cat, yellowed with age. It is curled into an upright sleeping position, its front paws are barely visible, neatly tucked under its chin.
