Goodnight
#ProofOfCat
An orange and white tabby cat lies on his back. Rear feet bunny-like, belly exposed, one arm stretched above his impossibly positioned head. He is glorious and this is definitely a trap. He. Dares. You.

Cats!
A black cat (not mine) sitting in a very overgrown garden completely ignoring an orange tabby (mine) who is creeping by and yelling at the panther. You can't see his tail but it's at full floof.

Yep. Let 'em come at me.

True bastard
An orange tabby with white bib and socks lies on a blue fleece blanket. His face is so smug because this was just after he successfully petitioned for half of my steak. The claws are showing because, no matter what he tells you, he is indeed a true bastard and will cut you if you touch him in the wrong place / at the wrong time / just because he feels like it. He's mine though ❤️

@nigella.bsky.social is my go-to for recipes I haven't made before because they *always* come out right first time. Sticky toffee pudding : www.nigella.com/recipes/stic...
Sticky toffee pudding in a square tin in a wooden board. It's smothered in sticky toffee sauce and there's a jug with extra sauce behind the tin. Yum.

Happy cake for breakfast day (46th edition)!
A spiced carrot cake, with cream cheese icing and pecan praline in a cake box base. A wedge has been cut from it. It's delicious.

An orange tabby cat is asleep on his side on a blue blanket in a fairly dark room. He has one hind leg (with white sock) clasped between two front paws. His tail is neatly tucked in.

An orange and white tabby cat, viewed from below as he sits on the back of a sofa having a wash. Here, he is caught with his head up, mouth open, tongue out ready to wash his white bib. He's a bit blurry. An orange and white tabby cat washes his front leg, pink tongue stretching from elbow to foreleg. His head is a bit blurry - because he's moving, not because he's in witness protection .

Post a picture of when your pet was little.

A small orange tabby cat with a white bib and blue eyes is looking at the camera from his position in a box (in a box). Hes probably about six months old here.

He has been OUTSIDE. He has eaten GRASS. He has come back inside and THROWN UP the GRASS. #Caturday
A large orange cat curled up half asleep on a messy bed with a messy bookcase in the background. He is tired from all the grass related activity.

I am ridiculously happy that @400footghost.bsky.social allowed me to adopt this art. It spoke to me when I first saw it and in person it stirs something inexplicable. Can't wait to find the perfect frame and hang it somewhere it can punch me in the gut every day.
A painting called "Somebody's left their voice running in the yellow room". Against a greenish sky with the sun setting into the sea, a mysterious being is conjuring colourful orbs atop a hill.

#Styscraper
Screenshot of a mobile game called Styscraper where the aim of the game is to make a tall stack of stuff including pigs. Very addictive. Set in a muddy pisgsty, you can see a tower made of pallets and barrels and washing machines and rubbish bags and armchairs and piggies. It's 15.7m tall.

Goddammit I hate this game. (I love this game.)
Screenshot of a game called Styscraper from vole.wtf. The aim of the game is to pile the junk (and the pigs) as high as you can. There are oil cans, barrels, traffic cones, pallets, mattresses, rubbish bags, pigs, boxes, crates, plant pots and armchairs (I hate the armchairs) to stack. Here, my best score - a measly 10.41m. The game is set in a muddy pigsty against a lovely blue sky.

Georgie the ginger tabby cat is sitting in a loaf position with his paws tucked neatly under his body. You can see his white bib. His ears are alert and his white whiskers and eyebrows are magnificent. He's looking just off camera. It's his birthday!

This #caturday we are a poofed up ball of orange. Perfectly round.
Georgie the orange tabby cat is on a sofa. All his leggies and his tail are tucked away and his fur is puffed up so he looks like a very round thing with a disdainful looking head.

Yes, there is snow here but that's boring as fuck. Here's Georgie sorting out his tail instead.

An orange tabby cat with white bib and socks is sitting next to me on the sofa, looking up with interested ears.

Georgie the ginger tabby cat is loafing on the arm of the sofa. His ears are *concerned* and his fur is thinking about going full floof.

#caturday
A sort of square shaped lump under a grey waffle pattern blanket in the middle of my bed. A ginger tabby cat with a white chest and toes emerges from under the blanket. The sleepy ginger cat sits on top of the blanket, contemplating having another snooze. (He did.)
