I extremely need @friends-table.bsky.social to add this guy to Perpetua. Maybe as friends with the dessert guys who played beachminton against Brontë and Antistrophe?

Zelda tends to only do a half-roumd, but her daughter, Zora is a true champion of the roumd. I’m half convinced her father was a popple.

I finished my first quilt! I feel like it’s a pretty good first effort for a self-taught sewist on a second hand basic domestic machine. I probably could have gone a touch less magpie with the fabrics, but I didn’t. It’s exactly the cozy, cheerful touch my living room needs with winter incoming.

Zelda from a few days ago trying to subtly tell me it’s time to turn on the heat for the fall.

I got my cats a head bed a few years ago, and I have never in my life loved anything as much as my younger cat, Zora loves this bed. This is one of her less ridiculous sleeping positions in it.

I have never in my life been as relaxed as Zora napping in her heated bed.

Not from today, but Zelda is a champion napper as well.

TFW the human tries to get up after only an hour of morning cuddles.

If you see this, quote with flowers from your gallery #bloomscrolling

My Hoya australis lisa is a beauty of a plant at all times, but the flowers she put out last fall were especially striking.

Zelda has fallen deeply in love with the new kitty condo, and it’s so much cozy floof, I’m about to die.

From a couple weeks ago, Zora being a very contented windowsill kitty.

The Zelda and Zora hope you get a chance to rest and care for yourself.

She’s very sweet and cuddly. Pretty much anyone who sits down in my house will have a lap full of Zelda instantly. It shows when she’s sleeping, but awake, she looks like she has tested you and found you extremely wanting.

I love RBF cats! My older kitty, Zelda has truly epic resting judgy face, and it just makes me want to snuggle her all the more to gain her approval.

Welcome, new folks! Meet Zelda, perfecter of the morning cuddle, and Zora, who has a concern about the human willingly sitting in funny smelling hot water for hours on end.

Please have Zora being the most ridiculously relaxed creature on the planet. She loves that heated bed more than anyone has ever loved anything ever.
