Yes, Caturday felids will continue, but only if people read them (Santa is checking!). The first one is awesome, and could take place only in Japan. I’ll let the YouTube notes explain.
Shot at a supermarket in Japan with self checkout stations that meow and bark every time you scan an item. The meowing registers are called Nyan Nyan Reji (Meow Neow Cash Register) and the barking ones are called Wan Wan Reji (Woof Woof Cash Register).
The “woofs” are superfluous: meows would suffice on their own, and of course are much easier to hear when ensuring that your item has registered. I think the muted barks are just a sop to d*g owners.

And we have two from Bored Panda (click on screenshots). The first features Bell, a female Japanese cat who has her own Instagram page (there’s a d*g, too, but you can ignore it). We all love kitties with big fluffy tails, and this one takes the cake.
Bell is somewhat of a mutant, but still cute:
Currently, Bell is 3 years old and will turn 4 next May. She is a Minuet (aka the Napoleon cat), which is a mix of Persians and Munchkins (that’s right, there’s a feline breed called that). Or, to put it meowthematically, Persians x Munchkins = the Cat Emperor of France.
Look at that tail!
Now I don’t know if Guinness has a record for “world’s fluffiest tail”, but I’m prepared to believe that Bell would get the honors:
And, as I said, she’s a mutant, with short legs and tiny ears. But ineffably cute nonetheless:

And another from Bored Panda: a rare example of an altruistic and empathic cat (click on screenshot).
Excerpts from the article are indented:
Radamenes, an angelic little black cat in Bydgoszcz, Poland, has come through hell and high water to help the animals at the veterinary center there get better. After the veterinary center brought him back from death’s door, he’s returning the favor by cuddling with, massaging and sometimes even cleaning other animals convalescing from their wounds and operations.
Radamenes has become a local attraction, and people have begun visiting him at the center for good luck! Read on for more of his story.
The cat had a respiratory infection and they thought they’d have to euthanize him, but he recovered and, since then has taken care of animals who were in dire straits, especially those recovering from serious operations. He even takes care of d*gs!

Haha, only in Japan. *Everything* is cute there.
The Vet cat is always the best.
Way back in the 80s I visited a small grocery in Tokyo that had gone very high tech for the time. There were almost no employees. You walked around with your little cart and there was a small calculator attached to the cart in case you wanted to add up your prices. Check out was all by scanning or entering weights. Reorder and stocking shelves from the stockroom was semi-automated. The place was very clean, however, I think people did that part.

That is wrong. Delete that.
Dear Santa
Please keep these coming!

I want to be counted as a reader of Saturday whatevers. I read every every email.

I rarely comment on the Caturday Trifecta, but you may be confident we read all of them. Not to worry.
Ditto
Same here. I may not comment but I do read and would miss them terribly were they to disappear
Me too. Here Saturday Felid Trifecta is my Sunday morning treat! Please do keep them coming.
Yup, me too. I read everything religiously (oops, not quite), even if I don’t click on it. Please don’t stop.

Thanks for the link. What a cat! Radamenes is the best!
I look forward to the Caturday felids! I rarely comment because I rarely have something to say that I think anyone would want to read. But I do often show my family!
Me too.
This is my favorite post of the week.
It’s the variation in subjects in all WEIT posts that makes for such a great site. Caterday is just one of the regular quirky posts that sits so well with the more serious and thought provoking ones. Keep it up, PCC(E).
Meow!
Everyone needs a little xtra TLC. Is great to see on action. I have a furry.🐱🐱.
Hey, what would Saturdays be without our dose of cat cuteness?!
I don’t like automated checkout machines, and this would be another reason why – as much as I do like cats (and some dogs).
This is definitely one of my favorite treats from this site. Please continue!
If I were a cashier, I think I would go insane listening to the electronic meows all day long!
