Said good bye to this boy this morning.
Freak heart attack. He was 15 months old.
His name is Turmeric, and he was the best golden retriever cat in the whole world.
Hug your furbabies <3

Two, because I've been remiss :) Turmeric loves sleeping in my computer chair like this (left), and Allspice needs her Princess Pillow in order to snooze in the red recliner (L) <3 They're spoiled, and I love them!

Don't believe them-- they have another huge bowl of kitty food on the patio... My community cats are just as picky and bossy as my inside cats! They claim they are staaarving!! They are not <3 These three have been TNR-ed-- so ask me if you want to know more about it!

Not kitty photo today, just Superman ice cream. It's a Michigan thing-- delicious, tastes like sugar and vaguely fruity, reminds me of my childhood <3 We got it from a Michigan-centric store in Mesa, of all places :) Worth the drive, and we'll go back.

Got a two-fer for ya: on the left we see the attemped Churu-napping marks. Investigators say it might be "The Littlest". And on the right, we see said Littlest pouting because he has to wear jammies, but still wanted scritchies <3

Allspice is a great workout partner, as long as you don't need to use the bench <3

Allspice likes taking naps in the magical space called "The In-Between"! That part of the bed between her human parents, right by our pillows <3 And she gets crabby when we move :)

We start them young, battling for the Fortress (TM), or well, the laundry basket. One rule is: wait until it's empty-- and ask you can see, these two were still learning. I took this one back in October <3 Saffron (calico) is fierce, and Trouble (ginger) is, well Ginger <3

Pippin, aka Pippers, is peeking out of the cubby. She's my tripod, and also has an auto-immune disorder. She's on atopica and flupoxitine, and will be 12 very soon! <3 Sometimes cat's health is complicated, but her purrs and snuggles (and bitching!) make it worth everything!

Got two more "Hashbrown" kitties. When I say, "Oh, Finn is a hashbrown!" and he looks at me like that (left) or if I sing 🎶"WindWave is a hasbrown" 🎶 he looks at me like that (right). They both have their best "Whatever Mother" faces on <3

Lullaby was not amused when I told her she couldn't have her food at the kitchen table. She looked at me like this for 5 minutes before harumphing herself out of the room. Ah, torbies <3

Working out is exhausting! Just ask Finn, WindWave and Saffron. They were the cheerleading section, but still, <whew>

Turmeric thinks he's a Hashbrown <3 I won't disabuse him of that notion, because I love hashbrowns almost as much as I love cats!

No spiders were harmed in the making of this photo (or the vid I recorded!) But don't tell Turmeric and WindWave that-- they firmly believe they conquered the spider! Woohoo!!

Lullaby (front, looking at the camera) and Allspice (the tabby in the back) love to help with groceries-- and by help, I mean sniff every single thing, and try to steal the bags <3 May all your chores be complicated by kitties "helping" with purrs and snuggles

This is Dinkie-- he's FIV+, sans teefs, and adorable! He's one of my favourite kitties at work, and I call him "My Dinkie Do" because he's perfect <3 He is available for adoption-- as are most of the ~300 kitties in our care.

Allspice and Turmeric are very snuggly siblings-- I hope you have siblings (the birth kind, or the heart-friend kind) who make you feel this safe <3

Here Birdie Birdie... we won't eat you.... we just want to bite you! Allspice and Turmeric were talking some mad shit at the doves, but thankfully didn't brain themselves by trying to pounce through the glass
