If someone drew you a picture of a cat like this you’d be like “Babe no, I think that’s a one-legged cube with a face.” But here we are.
A white cat with black eyebrows lies in an open windowsill at a confusing angle. She appears to have no neck and only one paw that comes out of her tail. Somehow it is both adorable and the stuff of nightmares. #catsky

The sunbeam always moves.

But Taco teaches us: what nourishes you may shift, fade, return.

Wisdom isn’t control—it’s knowing where to stand when the light finds you again.

Some things return only to those who remember how to receive them.

#BeLikeTaco #cats #philosophy
The sunbeam always moves. And yet, how many of you try to catch it? Build lives around it. Name it joy, or purpose, or someone else’s warmth. You stretch toward it as if permanence could be negotiated. But light, like all things that nourish, does not stay for your convenience. It arrives unbidden, and leaves without apology. I do not chase. I wait. This is not passivity. This is memory. I remember the feel of warmth on fur. The hush of presence. I do not need the sun to stay. I need only remember what it teaches: that return is never promised, but always possible. What matters is whether you have left space for it to land. Whether you’ve kept the part of yourself soft enough to receive. Humans are always arranging their lives like furniture—trying to lock joy into place. As if it can be positioned just right. As if grief won’t shift the room again. But I have known a hundred sunbeams. Some arrived in winter. Some slipped across the floor like ghosts of summer. None stayed. All gave what they had. None could be forced. Impermanence is not the thief. It is the rhythm. You suffer because you demand a song without rest notes. But silence, too, is part of the music. The light will move. The warmth will go. But it may return. And when it does, will you be too bitter to feel it? Or will you remember how to stand, still and open, exactly where it can find you? I do not mourn the moving light. I stretch into it when it comes, and I sleep when it leaves. This is not wisdom. This is fur. This is breath. This is being unbothered.

An action shot of Babka the black and white cat captured mid-lick. The movement has made her tongue look extremely long. Another blurry action shot of Babka. Now her tongue is more contained in her little mouth but the blur on the photo makes her eyes look even larger than usual.

You can’t buy love, but you can adopt it.

It’s a great Caturday to visit a shelter near you and find your new best friend.
