fave box bursting at the seams, to add insult to injury the vet said I could stand to lose a couple of pounds. if I understood English better I would've bitten her #catboxsunday #catsofbluesky #catsky
cream tabby cat perfectly wedged into her favorite cardboard box, chin resting on the edge, ears pointed outward, eyes nearly closed. note the tape at the corner of the box has literally ripped in half (and it's not the first piece).

I just read an article referring to “tax cuts” as “tuxi cats” and I think my brain might be trying to save what’s left of my sanity #friyay #catsofbluesky #catsky #adoptdontshop

tl;dr: newly mutated strain surging in the UK appears to be only a partial match to this year’s vaccine....leaders are warning of a “once-in-a-decade” winter surge as more young people test positive for the sub-type

proving to mum that, at 10-ish years old, I *can* sit on her lap, but mostly just choose not to. unless it's very cold. or there's food around. (brat.) #tongueouttuesday #catsofbluesky #catsky
cream tabby cat perched on her mum's lap. the cat is looking up at her mum. photo captures cat, mouth open, mid-complaint about something. probably lack of tasty food.

Deeply ashamed just because you were soliciting a convicted child predator for advice on cheating on your wife my pressuring a younger colleague into sleeping with you while sneering at her and her work?

freezing rain, a cold draft, a fireplace and my favorite box: I think mum still loves me (despite waking her multiple times in the small hours, kicking approx 2/3 cup of litter out of the box and across the bathroom, soiling myself necessitating a partial bath) #catboxsunday #catsky #catsofbluesky
a cream tabby in her favorite four-year-old cardboard box (the perfect depth, box has been well used and reinforced multiple times) in front of the gas fireplace. her face/chin rests on the edge of the box, eyes half-closed, ears pointing in opposite directions to guard against anyone who might approach her to give her (another) bath. the morning has been challenging for everyone. close up of the head of a cream tabby in her favorite cardboard box. her face/chin rests on the edge, eyes half-closed, ears pointing in opposite directions to guard against anyone who might approach her to give her (another) bath. the morning has been challenging for everyone.

east bay crows, impassively watching. harbinger? omen? portent? (or just waiting for peanuts?) #doomscrolling #birdsky
