In the style of Zohran Mamdani’s political signage: “I chime in with a ‘haven’t you people ever heard of closing a goddamn FOR’ no, it’s best to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality” from Panic at the Disco’s I Write Sins Not Tragedies

I love all my cats equally and in different special ways but Jasper and I … we’ve got something else going on
A white woman with dark hair and glasses (me) holds a black cat (Jasper) to her chest. Her eyes are just visible over his back. The same white woman holding a black cat in her arms and kissing between his ears. The same white woman, sitting on a couch with the same black cat cradled to her chest for what we call “bosom time.” She is wearing headphones and kissing him on the side of the head. The same woman with the same black cat in her lap. His green eyes are visible this time! He is right up in her face and she is smiling as she presses her nose into his fur.

hands-down the biggest surprise of adopting a kitten is how spectacularly Jasper, who bites, plays rough, and generally doesn’t know how to be a cat has risen to the occasion of being a very patient, gentle, much-kicked-in-the-head big brother.
Against the backdrop of our light-wood kitchen cabinets and black dishwasher, an adult black cat and an orange and white tabby kitten are wrestling. The kitten has the adult in a full-body Facehugger headlock.

for my chl heads
A page from the picture book “It’s Only Stanley” by Jon Agee. In the illustration, a woman sits up in bed, listening to her husband speak. He is standing by her side of the bed and wearing pajamas. Over his head is a speech bubble that has been visibly edited to say, “It’s only Lila printing printer diagnostics.” Behind the husband sits a gray cat who is looking straight at the reader in disbelief.

it’s been a weird week, folks! here’s some cats to ease your mind.
Jasper, a black cat, and Lila, a blue point Siamese, practically cuddling on an orange loveseat. A lavender blanket is heaped beside them and a multicolored earth-toned pillow is on their other side. Jasper, a black cat with yellow-green eyes, lounges on a gray ottoman. Lila, a blue point Siamese, looks at the camera from the orange loveseat behind him. Jasper, a black cat with yellow-green eyes, expands to fill the space I left in my bed. The sheets are mint green and the pillow case is jade green. Lila, a blue point Siamese, naps on my lap with a cozy lavender tasseled blanket.

changing my pfp to this absolutely unhinged pic my partner took of me on a recent vacation bc I love it so much. I wish this is how everyone in public perceived me
A white person with short dark hair on an airplane. She is wearing a colorful neck pillow, big black headphones, and a blue airplane blanket pulled up to her chin. Her face is almost totally covered by a sleep mask and an N95 duckbill mask. Less than an inch of her actual face is visible.

queers discuss tv. unfortunately “he’s just big” is a more compelling pitch than I’d like to admit
A screenshot from a text conversation between my partner and me. They are trying to sell me on watching the new Reacher on the grounds that “he’s just big.” A second screenshot from the same conversation. I have mistaken the guy playing Reacher for the guy who plays Dexter and my partner has corrected me and informed me that the actual actor is “bigger.”

little guys appreciation post :) paying special attention to Jasper, who has been extra photogenic this week!
Two cats, a gray-and-cream one and a black one, curled up together on a fluffy shearling blanket at the end of my bed. Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, and Jasper, a black cat, inspect my new walking pad. Jasper, a handsome black cat with green eyes, enjoys some lap time on a fluffy cream blanket. His expression is serious and smoldering. Jasper, a black cat, half-snoozes on a fluffy cream blanket. You can see a couple of his black toe beans and his little gray lips.

oh! it’s been a minute. time to show you my cats
Jasper, a black cat with green eyes, looks plaintively up at me from where he is rubbing against my ankles. I am wearing jeans, yellow socks, and brown clogs (aka potato shoes). Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, and Jasper, a black cat, lie so so so close on top of a white Sherpa blanket. Lila is curled up; Jasper has his legs out. They are almost touching. Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, and Jasper, a black cat, snoozing together on a white Sherpa blanket with their butts touching (!!). Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, gets right up in my face to let me know that she is starving.

it’s rough out here :\ look out for each other, ok?
Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, and jasper, a a black cat, huddling under a computer chair to peek through the deck blinds. Jasper, a black cat, perches on top of a red armchair and looks out the window. Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, looks up toward him from where she’s curled on the seat of the armchair. Jasper, a black cat (kitten in this pic!), and Lila, a blue point Siamese, look at the camera, which has interrupted them from watching birds out the back door. Lila, a blue point Siamese, and Jasper, a black cat, lie with their front legs stretched out on a pale blue blanket. Their front paws are just millimeters from touching.

Post your favorite #DoctorWho, wrong answers only
A picture of Ferdinand Lyle from the TV show Penny Dreadful. He is wearing a dark velvet suit, a plaid waistcoat, and multiple large jeweled rings. His hair, mustache, and beard are impeccably coiffed.

put a heating pad (on low!) in the bed by the door to appease the local deities
Jasper, a black cat, is curled in a soft round cat bed cushioned with a deep purple Pokémon blanket that has pink, blue, and yellow details. Behind him is a farmhouse-style cat scratcher house. Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, enjoying the same round cat bed with the deep purple Pokémon blanket.

little baby :’)
Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, sleeps with her paw protectively curled over my arm (I am a white woman with short unpolished nails) atop a fluffy ice-blue blanket. In the background, my wife’s firearms are visible as they play a video game.

what time is it? why, it’s little freak hours, of course!
Lila, a blue point Siamese, inspects a Kong sushi mat toy she received for Christmas. In the background, post-Christmas clutter abounds. Lila, a cream-colored cat with gray point coloration (face, ears, tail, paws) and blue eyes, poses saucily on my in-laws’ cream-colored carpet. Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, in the middle of carpet-swimming on my in-laws’ cream-colored rug. Lila, a slightly blurry blue point Siamese cat, prowls over a small table and chairs made for children. Her energy is akin to Hunca Munca in Beatrix Potter’s “A Tale of Two Bad Mice.”

it’s Friday the 13th! here’s a spooky little guy for ya
Jasper, a black cat with green eyes, freezes in the middle of swatting at an ace flag hanging up to unwrinkle. Jasper, a black cat, enjoying a cat nap on a fluffy white blanket in a brick red arm chair surrounded by pillows. Jasper, a black cat with dark gray paw pads, shows off his lil beans as he naps amid my robins-egg-blue bedsheets. A hint of my peach-printed comforter is visible in the left corner. Jasper, a black cat with green eyes, lounges luxuriously in the sun in a blue armchair at my in-laws’ house.

Today Jasper has enjoyed such delicacies as “homemade focaccia crumbs” and “plastic tabletop Christmas tree branch”

had a dream that contractors were still redoing the upstairs apartment (as they were for most of the year) and Lila (a cat) came out to tell them that she was the lady of the house and all questions should go through her
