Taking stock of the snow. Happy caturday!
A lovely tuxedo cat and a lovely black fluffy cat have smushed themselves into the upper part of a cat tree and are staring out the window, observing a snowy street.

We have officially entered the cats-burrowing-under-blankets season. It’s nice that even in these conditions, Lexi and Luna still like their paws to touch. 😂❤️

The heat vent will always be > the cat bed. 😂

Happy caturday and thank goodness for a slow morning drinking coffee and hanging out with the gremlins. The gremlin who isn’t pictured is busy chasing a toy. ❤️

The world is too utterly depressing, so I think I’m just gonna keep focusing on cat photos. Like…what is happening in this one? I’m not sure, but it is delightful.
Lovely tuxedo cat is upside down with paws in the air on a carpet. Lovely black cat watches suspiciously from a perch on a chair above her.

Kind of jealous of our cats’ 9-5. To be fair, they are working hard.
Two lovely cats - one tuxedo and one black fluffy - stuffed next to each other on cat steps, alertly looking out the window of a back door.

Giving myself just five more minutes with this one before I need to get moving. Very tempting to just stay here forever and shirk my duties. 😂
Little lovely tuxedo cat curled up on a fuzzy blanket covering my legs on the couch.

Annie Laver performed “Three Meditations for Organ” at the National Cathedral in D.C. this afternoon. Particularly special for me because my parents and some extended family and friends were able to go. Wish I could have been there - glorious organ and space!

Had to get in our last little micro-vacation before pre-semester meetings start this coming week. It was a beautiful day for a hike in the Adirondacks. ❤️

Holding hands while snoozing. 😻
Lovely black cat and lovely tuxedo cat are snuggling on a window seat with the tuxedo cat’s head resting by the black cat’s bum and the tuxedo cat’s little white paw extended to touch the black cat’s paw.

Ah yes, tis the season: our porch, not our cat.
A neighbor cat lounges on our porch sofa. Our cats sit on the window seat inside the house staring at the neighbor cat on the sofa. They are not pleased. 😂
