Could not have possibly been this angelic baby. #proofofcat
A long-haired orange cat sleeps curled up in a colorful, striped basket. Her floofy tail is covering most of her face.

If you're looking for a fun place to support this week, try La Espiga on Nolensville Rd. Huge selection of yummy pastries. Nothing is labeled, so it's a culinary adventure. 🦞
Two containers of pastries from La Espiga. One in the foreground appears to have strawberry jelly filling in the center. One in the background is covered in coconut flakes.

Freya the cat says, "Chin up. Keep going. You can do this."
Or she might be wondering why you are disturbing her nap.
A fluffy orange cat sits in a rainbow-striped canvas basket. She is staring at the camera with her chin raised a bit, signaling almost a challenge in her expression. Her eyes are half-closed; she could be looking down at you, or she could be sleepy.

I love milkshakes. I can no longer have dairy. Therefore, the BE Hive on a Gallatin Rd is my best friend on lovely spring nights. 🦞
My hand holding a mint-green milkshake. I'm inside a deli with red walls. Shelves of food and cookies are visible at the counter.

Got one at our house. She destroys everything and also is perfect.
An orange cat resting her head on one of her paws as if she is a human leaning her head on one hand.

Probably time to renew my #proofofcat before #caturday ends.
A fluffy orange cat sleeps curled up on a black-and-white-striped blanket. Her paws have escaped the curl, and her pink toe beans are visible.

We made these boxes to try to keep the plants safe from the cat. She's started reaching into them and ripping plants up by the roots, but at least she doesn't break the pots. Sigh.
White window-box shelves mounted to the side of a white wall shelf. They are next to a window with light streaming in through translucent white thermal shades.

Nashville, I'm going to need one of you to go to the Pet Supermarket on Lebanon Pike and adopt this sweet baby. He seemed so sad until I reached through the bars and gave him scritches. He's clearly a sweetheart. 🦞
A black-and-white tuxedo cat behind the bars of a kennel in a pet store. He has his face turned to the side for scritches.

Also, he has his own bookmarks.
A white tabletop scattered with paper bookmarks that say "Happy Holidays" in red and feature a picture of a Great Pyrenees mix wearing a Santa hat.

Met a dog at the library yesterday. 5 stars.
A white Great Pyrenees mix dog sits on the white tile floor of a library conference room. He has one paw forward and is looking sideways at the camera. A human is sitting on the floor and petting his back, but most of the human is out of the frame. Only one arm is visible.

Shout-out to The Bookshop in East Nashville for taking care of Nashville geeks by having multiple copies of this on hand for the release date. 🦞
A hand holding a hardcover copy of The book Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson, with a car window in the background. The book cover has Sanderson's name is large, silver print at the top and the book title in yellow print at the bottom. The cover features the back of a man standing the top of a tower. He is wearing a long, blue coat and is holding his hand up against a storm in the sky.

One misstep and you'll be sorry?! I do not need this kind of negativity in my life, Duolingo.
An illustration of the Duolingo owl jumping out of an open shape (a rocket? A door?) above rainbow clouds. Below, there is white text on a blue background. The text says, "Yes! You're a top 5% learner this year." In smaller print underneath, it says, "You're safe from Duo. For now. One misstep and you'll be sorry."

Picture of orange terror for cat tax.
Closeup of an orange cat's face, shot from the side. The cat's white whiskers are very long, and part of her fluffy body is visible. She is standing in front of a sunny window.

Doing an early renewal of my Bluesky #proofofcat.
A longish-haired orange cat sits upright behind the top of a black dryer. The cat is right next to a barely-visible window, so light is shining onto her fur. The side of a white wall shelf is behind her. She looks either dignified or judgy.

Here's a cat.

Freya the cat checking out my current project, a gray sweater that my son requested even though I've never made a sweater.
Part of a charcoal gray sweater (work in progress) with a floofy orange cat standing on it. (Only the lower half of the cat is visible.) An orange cat smells a piece of a charcoal gray sweater that is being crocheted.

You guys, I found the #doctorwho section of Target.

Considering I am a Bluesky Elder, I have avoided the official paperwork for far too long. Here is my official #ProofofCat.
A long-haired orange cat lies stretched out across a coral-colored rug with a vaguely southwestern pattern. (The rug has the pattern, not the cat.)

Sounds like he really didn't want that bacteria discovered.
(Hire copyeditors. Pay them well.)

Guys, look at my new planner.

Just an ordinary feline basking in the golden light of an October afternoon.
A long-haired orange cat sits on a white surface with her belly, head, and paws turned up toward the light coming in from a nearby window.

A cat smile on Caturday Eve! Surely it portends great things.
A fluffy orange cat sleeps on her side, with one side of her head resting on a dark gray sofa. The image is a close-up of her upper body and neck. Her mouth appears to be curled up in a contented smile.

One of our favorite hangout spots was destroyed in Nashville's March 2020 tornado. My youngest kiddo decided to make one of their signature recipes in their honor: an orange creamsicle float! RIP, Soda Parlor. We still miss your free arcade games.
An orange soda ice cream float in a clear cup that says "The Soda Parlor." The float has whipped cream with red sprinkles on top, plus an orange-and-white-striped paper straw.
