Couldn’t resist.
A large orange cat lolls on his back in the sunshine, showing his curly belly fur. Life is good for this Dude.

My Dude says hello to Salem.
A large orange cat lounges on his side, his head up, looking at the viewer. He seems interested and also content at the same time.

I’m sorry to hear this. Please take care of yourself. Pneumonia is no joke. And a sinus infection on top must be close to unbearable. Dude and I are both sending good wishes and healing kitty magic.
A large orange cat rolls on his back, basking in some sunshine.

Hello, little one! My cat, Dude, says hello too.
A large orange cat lounges in the sphinx pose. His face is calm and open to friendly overtures.

What’s it like inside your head?
A large orange cat lounges on his back in the sunlight. His tummy fur is thick and curly, and he’s happy as a cat in sunlight.

We’re well into pumpkin season, and my Dude is showing us all just how to rock it.
A large orange tabby cat lies on his side in his scratcher-lounger. He is very big and fluffy, and his back end is as round as a pumpkin.

Holy shite! Got it done. Taste marvellous. Will warm it in the oven tomorrow; might cheat and broil for some crispy bits. (Because who doesn’t like crispy bits?) Thanks for playing along, everyone!
A lovely pan of baked dressing!

And now, and now, we have reached halftime! Dressing comes out of the oven for another small rain of chicken broth (yes, shouldda used stock, but they didn’t have it at the local grocery store, and so we must needs make do).
A lovely pan of baked turkey dreading is at its halfway point.

The onion-celery-herb mixture and the breadcrumbs have met and married. They are now consummating their relationship in the oven. Since I am baking the dressing outside the bird (only cooking a turkey breast this Thanksgiving) I added a little chicken broth before the pan went into the oven.
A roasting pan full of uncooked dressing waits, ready for the oven.

Here are the breadcrumbs. (Yes, I cheated and bought a bag from the local grocery store.)
A generous heap of breadcrumbs sits in a glass bowl, ready to commune with the onion-celery-herb mixture, as soon as it’s ready.

I’m making dressing today for tomorrow’s turkey dinner. Want to come along on this little enterprise with me? Updates to follow
A large frying pan sits on a glass cooktop. The pan is filled with sautéed onions, celery, and herbs. The foundation of the dressing is right here in this pan!

Best #stetwalk ever. Walked over to the local salmon stream, and there they were! The salmon! Coming upstream!

Timeline cleanse: “Stay golden, KittyBoy.”
A large orange tabby cat lounges on his side. His head is up, but his eyes are closed in what might be bliss. His fluffy fur is a lovely golden hue.

Hey, Jinx. Here’s Dude.
A large orange tabby cat reclines on his side on a stylized scratcher / longer, like a Roman emperor on a dining couch. He looks directly at the viewer, regal and content.

Timeline cleanse: Air your tummy fur while the sun shines. #CatsOfBluesky
A large orange cat rolls on his back on a sunny balcony. His tummy fur is thick and curly. He looks like he doesn’t have a care in the world.

A cat and his corn on the cob. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky
A large orange tabby cat lies on his side on a hardwood floor, his head up and looking directly at the viewer. A cat toy shaped like a piece of corn on the cob lies near his front paws. His whole attitude and posture seem relaxed and content.

Apparently, it’s #GingerCatAppreciationDay. His Royal Furriness approves.
A large orange tabby cat sits on top of a small cat tree. He looks very regal—and he knows it. His fur is very thick, and his tail would make a racoon proud.

Just because. Maybe it’s time for a kitty in your timeline?
A large orange tabby reclines on a cardboard scratching board shaped vaguely like a Roman dining couch. He occupies it with an attitude of finesse. Directly behind him is his carrier, which could double as a tent if he wanted to go camping. He looks very composed and relaxed.

How lovely. (I am lucky to have had my life saved in this way too.)
An orange tabby lies curled up against its human on a fleece blanket that is black with white paw prints. The human’s arm and hand is curled around the kitty. The picture is one of contentment.

What a good idea.
A large orange tabby cat lounges on his side, his head on his human’s lap.His fur is gloriously mussed up, and he is fast asleep.

I missed #Caturday! But here’s a kitty pic for you anyway. My Dude, being a patio lion. #CatsOfBlusky
A large orange tabby with fluffy fur lies in the sun in front of a planter box. His fur forms a small mane around his neck. His head is up and his front paws outstretched in the classic sphinx pose. He is outside on a balcony. His expression is solemn, as if he’s contemplating ancient riddles.

Good #Caturday to everyone. #CatsOfBlueSky
A large orange tabby lounges at the top of a cat tree set by a sunny window. The sun is on his fur, and he looks sleepy and content.

This #Caturday, I present Dude in a Box in honour of the day. #CatsOfBluesky
A large orange tabby cat sits with his paws tucked under him (the “kittyloaf” position) inside a large box, which has been turned on its side. It looks like he has his own private kitty cave. Just outside the box to the left is a pot of very green but chewed up cat grass. The cat’s facial expression seems to say, “What are you looking at?”

I’m still learning about #CatsOfBluesky. Didn’t know (until now) that #ToeBeanTuesday was a thing.
A close-in photo of an orange tabby cat’s paw. He has lovely toe beans (foot pads). His paw is quite large, and so are the toe beans. The beans are a peachy pink. He has some magnificent white floof growing between his toe beans.

My Dude prefers not to be called an orange tabby. Oh, no, indeed. He likes to be called a rose-gold tabby. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky
A large orange tabby—no, no, excuse me, a rose-gold tabby—lies on his side, having a nice nap on a fleece blanket. His fur is fluffy, almost curly, and it is indeed a rosy orange.
