Today, it’s #cuprite versus #orpiment in the #MinCup26. Easy! The #mineral orpiment contains arsenic, & that is very toxic to #cats. But cuprite is a #copper oxide that often forms on #bronze statues, & bronze statues exist primarily to pay homage to cats.

A Roll in the Hay
A little dust,
a little grass,
four legs pointing toward the sky.
Sometimes happiness is as simple as
forgetting which way is up.
