The image features a white ceramic coffee mug with a red and gold rim. On the mug's handle, there is a gold ring. The mug itself is adorned with a small image of a porcupine wearing a red hat and holding a piece of candy. The porcupine is prominently placed in the center of the mug, capturing attention. The phrase "Too Sweet to Handle" is written in a playful red font below the porcupine image, adding a touch of humor to the overall design.

In the image, there are two cartoon otters wearing long-sleeved shirts that are white in color. These otters are depicted with red antlers and a scarf around their necks, creating a festive and playful atmosphere. The otters are standing on a snowy surface, surrounded by white snowflakes falling from the sky. The shirts are displayed in front of a snowy backdrop, giving the impression of a winter holiday scene.

The image features a pin, designed to resemble an eagle, attached to a white backboard. The eagle pin is the central focus, positioned centrally in the frame. The white backboard, which holds the pin, is square in shape, providing a stark contrast to the eagle's wingspan.

The pin and backboard are set against a green background, which adds a touch of vibrancy to the overall composition. The background is textured, enhancing the visual appeal of the image. The text "Collectible pin Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden" is clearly visible in the image, providing information about the pin.

The image features a gray sweatshirt with a vibrant graphic design. The design prominently displays a tiger's face, with orange and black stripes adorning its fur. The sweatshirt is displayed against a stark white background, which highlights the eye-catching colors of the design. The sweatshirt itself is a long-sleeved garment, with the neckline slightly curved to the left. It appears to be a casual, comfortable piece of clothing, perfect for layering or wearing on a chilly day.

Two cats sit next to each other, gazing into a vibrant sunset. The cats are depicted as silhouettes, the left cat in darker colors, the right cat in shades of red. The two animals are surrounded by a bright explosion of red, orange and yellow colours. The colourful autumn leaves, illuminated by the autumn sun, fall from the trees and bathe the surroundings in warm colours. The scene evokes a feeling of warmth, peace and love.
Two cats under a colorful sky is a hand-painted watercolor painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.

This artwork, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

🦜💚 Researchers at the University of #Cincinnati studied how monk #parakeets form friendships by observing 179 new relationships in controlled settings. The #birds follow a careful “test the waters” approach, gradually increasing physical proximity and grooming behaviors before committing to deeper bonds, a pattern also seen in vampire #bats.
