Oh hey, speaking of the Black Cat Brigade, it's a second consecutive day of celebration here, as today is Ungoliant's (observed) birthday! She's 12! (Maybe!) 🖤😸🎉

Happy birthday, my darling. Here's to many more years of eating sacred light 🖤😽🖤🎉🖤🕷️ #FridayVibes #Cats
Fluffy black Ungoliant sits atop an enclosed litterbox as bright sunlight streams in on her, casting uneven shadows across her floof as she looks at me.

Late night posing from two-thirds of the Black Cat Brigade suggests a photo session for the album cover of a side project wherein 1 of 3 band members declined to participate. 🖤🖤🖤 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #FridayVibes
In the foreground, tortie Lyra sits upright on a burgundy ottoman in the living room, serenely gazing to the right of the frame. Behind her, black shorthair Fiedra stands on the armrest of a beige and red armchair, gazing into the foreground toward (or maybe past) Lyra.

It just wouldn't be Callisto's Gotcha Day if she didn't get quality time with her BFF Mieszko ❤️😻❤️ #FluffyFursday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy grey Mieszko and grey and white Callisto lie side by side atop a red and yellow blanket on the sofa, pressed into each other. Mieszko wraps one paw around Callisto as she cranes her neck back to look at me.

Callisto tends to prefer rough scritches and hard pats. And today she gets them for sure, because it's her Gotcha Day! 🎉🎉🎉

I adopted Callisto this day in 2016 after a co-worker brought her in as a rescue.

Here's to many years more, you little troublemaker 💗😸 #FluffyFursday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

Passed out on the sofa, again. With a bit more company this time 😸😻💗 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
I lie on the sofa with a couple of blankets covering me. Fluffy grey Mieszko has draped himself over one of my outstretched legs, and fluffy brown Raziel has pressed herself against me. Black shorthair Fiedra, meanwhile, is curled up between my legs, with just a couple inches between her and Raziel and Mieszko.

A little throwback today to the beginning of May, when I first brought Fiedra home. These are the first photos I took of her, while I was paused at a rest stop. 🖤🖤🖤 #WaybackWednesday #WhiskersWednesday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Two photos in which black shorthair Fiedra is crouched inside a blue and black cat carrier with a blanket. Her soft black whiskers catch the light from without as she looks around a little nervously.

149. Sinners (2025).

Why did no one tell me that this is one of the greatest films ever made?

If 'Sinners' doesn't win Best Picture at the Oscars next year, then I propose that the Academy Awards just end altogether.

A collection of classic Mieszko sleeps for #TakeANapTuesday 😻💗😽💤 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy grey Mieszko lies bunched up over my feet and a green, blue, and white blanket on the sofa, his eyes shut in rest while his floofy tail curls in front of him. Fluffy grey Mieszko lies loosely curled up beside me on my bed, his cheek to the sheets and his front paws casually folded. Fluffy grey Mieszko lies curled up on top of me on the sofa, his limbs in a jumble and his head upside-down. Fluffy grey Mieszko lies on top of me and a green, blue, and white blanket on the sofa. His paws cross over one another while his head, fallen to one side, rests tiredly against the blanket.

*Technically* not proper #KittyLoafMonday technique, Lyra... but I'll allow it 😻🖤🧡🍞 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Tortie Lyra lies on top of me on the sofa, her eyes shut in blissful rest. She folds one front paw underneath her while the other is only partly drawn in.

It’s as beautiful as I had imagined it. Dallas at Vision Seeker studio understood my vision, and made my dream come true. Chimney swifts, long gone to the skies from their summer homes here, gone until next May but with me forever, now.
My right arm turned to show my inner elbow. Starting above my elbow and wrapping around my arm, a chimney from which a swirling flock of chimney swifts emerge. An older tattoo, an elm leaf from a beloved tree, is below my elbow. On my shoulder is a very old tattoo, a wolverine head. The outer section of the tattoo on my arm shows the swifts close up, with feather and face details. The rest of the flock continues upwards around my arm. A close look at the larger birds below the very faded wolverine head.

Goth band album cover.

Groove-billed Anis are fabulous birds. A type of cuckoo, this species lives in social groups of up to 10 birds and they collectively guard their territory and even share a nest together!

These birds were taking a break today at @tapirvalley.bsky.social to groom each other.
Five black birds perch closely together on a branch, their glossy feathers and long tails standing out against a blurred green forest background.

Nothing to see here. Just innocently chillin’ on top of the bed.
Chlora, a young calico kitten, lays on the top of a squished down fluffy cave bed, looking innocently off to one side. You can just see the white paws and little disgruntled face of her brother Phyll who was trying to nap inside the cave bed.

Not a single adoption inquiry yet for Baby Sneffels & Baby Ferrata 😿🙀

It’s so unusual 🤔 Guessing high supply/low demand:
* Shelters are overflowing right now
* People are hunkering down & saying “not now”
* Maybe folks just aren’t aware how adorably perfect this bonded pair is?!? 😻
