We will never know all the mysteries that go on in the minds of our pets. 🤗

Me: *shares a pic of my pretty cat

Internet: *falls in love

Me: *shows a friend all the likes

Friend: 'Told you p*ssy sells' 😹

Right? In every picture. Still thinks he's the prettiest cat, even if his eyes look everywhere at once sometimes 😅

I sometimes wish I could see what's happening in their weird and wonderful minds. Because my cat also has the strangest habits. He likes climbing up the curtains like a possessed doll while we sleep sometimes, hehe

Thank you. Yours (in your profile) also looks like a royal subject in that house. Such a stunning pose.

I really hope mine doesn't learn that trick. Siamese kitties have so much personality.

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 21h

Kitty will always be at the top of that list 🥰🤗

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 1d

Such a chatty kitty like only a Siamese can be. 🤭 He just wants to be where I am, which is usually in front of the keyboard.

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 1d

Aww, such a cutie. Is that a car seat? Do they like going for drives? Mine detests the car.

He changes color in winter. He grows even darker and gets a brown coat. Then, in summer, he goes light again. Was pure white when he was born. Such a petty pet.

I do what I can. I'll even move the whole laptop before moving the cat 😹

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 1d

Oh wow, what a stunning cat. Those eyes. 😻 Hehe, little nibblers.

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 1d

That is so cute! 😻 I love it. Cats hey, they are our owners and not the other way around.

That's for sure! You can't even be mad because you just want to snuggle them 😹

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, the sheer sass of this kitty, hehe. He is beautiful and he knows it. Such a social cat too, loves making friends (which is rare). He likes biting my toes and waking me up early in the morning though, but it's worth it for him 🥰

Thank you, I'm obsessed with him. He's almost two years old now and still wants all the cuddles. 🙀 He's been my writing partner since we got him. 🤭

My cat is trying to sabotage my writing career, I'm convinced 🤭

Every time I sit down to work on my book, he needs to be on top of the laptop.

Tsk-tsk. Lol luckily he's cute.

Today, I can't get to my diary because of this adorable little monster.

Oh yes. The editor has already seen it. The beta readers are just for vibes, to see if the book flows well, if the ending lands etc. It's already on draft 8 right now.

M Kay Noir 🇿🇦 Author @mkaynoir.bsky.social · 2d

A #WIP for a #WIP - when your author bestie has her beta copy ready too. We didn't even plan this, but both started reading each other's manuscripts today. So excited.

Yes, be jealous.
I get to read Caz Luan's 'Sweet Misery' first.

So far, so dark. As only Caz can. 🖤

One down, four to go. The other beta readers are still busy. But I'm happy with it thus far.

I write queer, polyamorous dark(ish) romance. This book in particular is a kinky paranormal romance.

When I want to work on my novel but life wants me to work on boring stuff...

Do we really need clean laundry today?

Can't I spend all afternoon rewriting chapter 1 instead?

This pretty much sums up the type of romance books I write.

Darkish.
Spicy.
Unconventional power dynamics.

Happy #kinktober 💜📚

When your beta reader reminds you that Americans don't use the word "gown" the way we do here in South Africa. 😆

She's out here imagining the person putting on a formal ball gown after getting out of the bath when I just meant a "robe"...

I live in my fluffy "gown" during winters, hehe.
