Ohhhh yeah, that's the stuff.

Two orange and white Devon Rex cats sit on a blue electric fireplace outdoors facing opposite directions so their butts contact the warmest spot.

Just workshopping some ideas for their next album cover.

This photo shows two orange and white Devon Rex cats. One is sitting on a table looking to the right. The other cat is in a cat backpack that is on the floor.

Sleep the sleep of the innocent, lil' bud.

Snug as a kitten in a mitten

The cats like to play mealtime shenanigans by deciding they're "done," but when we move their remaining food to a new spot, they continue eating. Sometimes they consume dinner in as many as four interesting locations. Assholes.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat stands on a carpeted step with his tongue sticking out regarding a bowl of food on the step below him. His butt is on the upper step and his forelegs are on the lower step, fully extended.

The return of oven season means pies and an opportunity to use my favorite kitchen tool again.

Resting Brian face.

Oh man, Brian Uno’s look says I’m in trouble.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is sitting on a flower-print outdoor rug. He has quite a stern look on his face.

And here is where I store my 4" PVC pipe joints and cat.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat crouches on the top shelf of a deep cabinet, the bottom shelf of which is occupied by a large transparent plastic bin full of 4" PVC pipe joints.

Was Clootie the glowing object in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction?

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is sitting on a grill. The sun is shining on him so that it looks like he’s glowing.

Good morning.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat pokes his head out from under a blue down sleeping bag on his guardian's lap. His eyes are closed and he looks content. We are sitting outside on the catio and there is a laptop computer and a cup of coffee on a small table in the immediate background.

On this #catboxsunday Brian Uno has two questions: Am I living in a box? Am I living in a cardboard box?

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is sitting in a cardboard box. He is mid-meow, which makes him look mad.

They enjoy exploring things they can't normally reach. Here, Brian's experience sniffing the spice rack appears to have left him nonplussed.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat stands with his hind legs on his guardian's right arm leaning against a wire spice rack hung high on a wall. He's smelling the top row of spices.

The same situation, but now the cat is looking into the middle distance with a worried expression.

A closer look at the worried expression. He looks like a little furry imp or gremlin.

The interior of his head is mostly eyeballs with only a tiny rudimentary brain way in the back.

These eyes are crying—for treats.

A misty, cold morning reading on the deck with my pal. Coziness level: off the scale.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat sits on a blue electric fireplace under a canopy festooned with lights. I'm under a blue down sleeping bag. It's all as cozy as can be.

Clootie Dumplings @cloupi.bsky.social · 7d

I wasn't prepared for that particular sound. Outstanding catitude.

The sun in his eyes made some of his lies (about dinnertime!) worth believing.

An orange and white Devon Rex is sitting on a blue mat. The sun is in his face, and he’s squinting.

There is a bird.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat sits on a window sill staring outside with his enormous radar-dish ears fully engaged. He's bathed in green light from the trees.

This boy! 😻

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is sitting upright with his head cocked. He is watching a string that is just off to the side.

There is a leaf.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat stands precariously on the rim of a planter on a deck. His body is stretched out as he leans on a bamboo reed fence examining a dead leaf stuck there.

I mean...that's pretty much the arrangement we have with them.

Brian Uno @brianuno.bsky.social · 9d

I’d blow my wages for the week all for a cuddle and head butt on the cheek from Clootie.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is snuggled up to one of his guardians. He is partially covered by the giant, cozy sweatshirt.

Careful, young man.

September pizza: sauce made with homegrown san marzanos, fake sausage, mozzarella. Basic like me.

Comforting kitten ball.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat is curled up on top of a handmade granny square afghan. His nose is tucked under his paw.

He can already hear our thoughts. Now he's working on controlling them.

An orange and white Devon Rex cat lies on a blanket pile on the couch. His eyes are closed but his huge ears are radaring around listening for danger.
