#caturday snoozes with Sugarplum #catsofbluesky
A grey tabby snoozes on the back of a dark green couch. Her tail curls around her backside. With amazing flexibilty and dignity, one white paw is folded 180-deg under in front of her face. Clearly, do not disturb on Caturday.

Sugarplum preps for a long weekend of sleeping... probably. Maybe watching a bird or 2 for #caturday. #catsofbluesky
A small great tabby is napping on a dark green couch. Her white socked murder mitten pokes out from under her chin. Her large ears are angled to hear any sign of dinner being poured.

She just wanted to make sure we were admiring her cuteness, I'm sure. Don't worry, Sugarplum, you are a beautiful cat. It's unanimous. 10/10 for form! #catsofbluesky #caturday
A grey and white tabby is curled up in a circular cardboard scratcher sitting on a gray rug. Her front paws, with adorable white murder mittens lie over her straight back legs. This showcases her white socks nicely. She looks directly into the camera, with magnificent whiskers and one ear just over the edge of the scratcher. She knows the effect of her cuteness.

Camden and Sugarplum are ready for the weekend! So close to nap time for their human, too... #catsofbluesky
A very fluffy long-haired black cat is practicing kitty yoga and attempting a head stand on a dark green couch back. One ear is balanced on the cushion. She states at you with one yellow eye, peaking out from the fur. A grey and white short haired tabby lies on a dark green couch. Her head is resting just short of the soft blanket that should be her pillow. Her eyes are closed, her tail is tucked around her back legs, and one paw is curled near her chin. She is living her best nap life.

I think I've reached peak "I'm from the PNW and this is how I do"... or have just finally found a good use for the scalding hot water at conference coffee stations. Behold a do-it-yourself #LPSC2025 breakfast! Mmm mmm instant oatmeal and apple sauce. #LifeOfATravelingScientist

Getting ready for my talk about impact craters ages on the #Moon with day 1 #SocksOfLPSC! #LPSC2025
A pair of navy blue socks is laid on a counter. They have the Moon on them in many phases, colored yellow, the words "It's just a phase" are printed on the socks. They are perfect for scientists who are getting psyched to give public presentations about the Moon.

I do enjoy the welcome display from the conference hotel for planetary science spring break! #LPSC2025
A large square dark wooden table sits in a hotel lobby on a white tile floor. A variety of space-themed snacks are arranged on it. A decorative Moon sits in the middle. A display of Moonpies, milky way bars, star crunch cookies and other space-themed snacks are displayed on a wooden table in the hotel lobby. They await hordes of hungry planetary scientists to welcome them.

NBD. Just observing the world. With a casual blep. Because I've weaponized my cuteness. #catsofbluesky
A gray and white tabby is curled up in a circular cardboard scratcher that sits on a feey shaggy rug. The tip of her tongue is sticking out in an adorable blep. She knows your heart is melting. Diabolical. A gray and white tabby is curled up in a circular cardboard scratcher that sits on a feey shaggy rug. The tip of her tongue is sticking out in an adorable blep.

I get to see a rocket launch to the #Moon today!! Go IM-2! Go Trailblazer!
I am standing in front of a NASA meatball at Kennedy Space Center, with a huge smile on my face. Getting psyched for launch! A launch guest pass The entrance to the check in center at Kennedy Space Center. A sign says "NASA invited guests" and points to a building with a nasa meatball on it. A nighttime picture of a SpaceX Falcon 9 on the launch pad and ready to launch to the Moon. There are red warning lights next to the rocket. It is across a waterway from the viewing area.

It me.
This is a meme showing 2 birds. The one on the left is a black crow sitting on a rock, with the words "rest of my clothes" on top. The one on the right is a multi-colored tropical bird sitting on a perch with the words "my socks" above it. I feel seen.

Happy #caturday from Sugarplum! Big stretches and face scritches are the only mandatory activities. #catsofbluesky
A short haired grey tabby with white paws and belly lies on her side on a dark green couch. He green eyes are staring coyly and she shows her belly begging for scratches. One paw is reaching towards the camera with adorable toe beans just visible.

We've got both cats out full time now! It only took 2.5 months for Camden to stop hissing every time she saw Sugarplum. 😱😻Now we have to figure out the food sitch. Both of them are food thieves. Notice Camdens empty wet food bowl to the right as she eats Sugarplums breakfast.. #catsofbluesky
A fluffy long haired black cat eats wet food from a small bowl. Behind her is a scratch pad. To the right of her are 3 cat dishes, one full of dry food, one that has small scraps of her wet food left, one full of water, all on a black rubber mat. She is a food thief, eating her sisters breakfast.

Kitten update: Camden does this thing when she wants you to open a door where she stands on her back legs, stretches as far as she can, and scratches at the door jam. While giving you the cutest sad expression. This morning she did that at Sugarplums door because she wanted to play 😻 #catsofbluesky
A snoozy grey and white tabby lies on a fluffy orange blanket. She is excited to finally be allowed out of her sanctuary room and into the main house. The leg of a rocking chair cuts the foreground. A fluffy black long haired cat lies stretched out on a white carpet. Her paws are sticking under the bottom of a white door. She is playing with the cat in the bedroom on the other side.
