You can call me Piper or Pipermaru. She/Her.
I like cats. I have two: Ember is an older tortie and Ash is grey and white. Ember is Ash’s mother. They are bonded and I adopted them when they were 10 and 3.

I put on the feather comforter over the weekend. Historical the cats have been nervous about this fluffy comforter, I think this is because they can’t see my legs under it. But this year it has been embraced more quickly.

We got more snow overnight. Ember is taking stock and judging me for how poorly I shoveled.

Just look at these snuggly ladies! We are getting some snow for #Caturday but we are safe and warm inside.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, snuggled up with Ash, a grey and white cat. There is an unused blue and cream cat bed in front of them.

The ladies are napping in the office as I work on the computer. Doing things I told myself I would wait to do.

Ember, a tortie cat, and Ash, a grey and white cat, nap on a daybed covered in a green blanket. Ash stands out against some large white pillows, but Ember is harder to see against the dark blue cushion on the left.

Ember loved the turkey, Ash passed. Which just means that Ember got a little more.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates.

Ash is willing to show off her whiskers for #WhiskerWednesday but only from the comfort of her warm box. The ladies can tell that the human is getting ready to leave, and it makes them upset.

I’ll be back soon though, only gone for a day.

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, shows off her white whiskers from within a large brown box on its side. There is a heat vent next to the box, making the box nice and warm.

Started snowing just now and Ember had to check it out.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, looks out a window to a dark night with snowflakes coming down. It’s hard to see the flakes because there is glare from the lit inside room.

Ash is always cute, but she’s extra cute when she’s sleeping.

Ash, a grey and white cat, sleeps with all her paws collected together. So cute.

Finally a sun day after a few grey ones. Ember approves.

Another bedtime post. Human has been busy busy. The ladies have been upset with the lack of snuggles. Good thing it’s almost the weekend.

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, and Ember, a tortie cat, lay in a row along side a human leg. Everyone is on a bed covered in blankets, the cats on top of those blankets, the human underneath.

Ember wants to know why the light is still on. It’s bedtime for the human, go to sleep!

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on the end of the bed. She refuses to look at the camera, and the human holding it.

Too bright this #Caturday for naps. Gotta block out some of the sun!

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, sits on top of a cat tree in classic loaf shape with one exception. Her face is down against the lip of the top of the tree in an attempt to block out the bright sun coming in the window behind her.

A little video of Ember and her snake. She loves this thing and will move it around the house so it’s always close by.

I put a toy under the crinkle paper. Ash is enjoying trying to get to it.

Still a bit cool here, but sunny enough that the porch is warm.

I’ve got the holiday off work, and the ladies are enjoying having me home. We had a great sleep in.

Ash and I are ready for bed, but Ember had decided she wants to attack the sheets. Once I got new sheets she’s gotten into attacking them, which I really wish she wouldn’t do, but I can’t seem to dissuade her.

This is how Ash spends most of the day. But when I want to go to bed, she decides she wants all the attention.
Ash, a grey and white cat, is curled up in a light blue cat bed under a daybed. It’s dark under there and she looks annoyed at being disturbed.
