Since it's apparently black cat appreciation day, here's a handsome black cat I saw lounging in a parking lot the other day.

Met this cutie on the porch of my airbnb last evening.
A petite brown and orange tabby cat laying on its side with its front paws stretched out and its back legs pulled up like it just rolled over. The same brown and orange tabby, now even more stretched out and yawning to show all its sharp pointy teeth.

I feel like garbage, but DoorDash brought me a chicken Caesar salad and bubble tea, so life's looking up. #food
A not at all well-staged photo of a plate of salad and a plastic cup of bubble tea.

I have been trying to walk this dog for twenty minutes. We've made it a block. At least this time he didn't lay down directly in the middle the sidewalk

Bliss.
A grey tabby cat flopped on his side on the back of a dark blue couch. His eyes are shut and he looks blissfully relaxed.

The family cat when I was growing up was named Worthless. He lived a very loved 18+ years. When I adopted my first cat as an adult his official name was The Dread Pirate Kitten, but for 18 years he was just Dreadful.
Close up of a woman with grey hair laying down on a plaid couch. She's holding and making a kissy face at a black cat with a small white bib and white whiskers. The cat is staring straight into the camera looking very smug. This is my mom's story and Worthless circa the mid 1990s. Close up of a white woman with orange hair and a black and white cat curled up together under a purple quilt. The woman has her eyes closed. The cat is staring straight at the camera looking alert and happy. This is me and Dreadful.

He's already back on the couch, now awake and pretending nothing ever happened
A gray and white tabby cat lounging on a red sofa. He's yawning and showing off his sharp little teeth and pink pink tongue. His whiskers are luxuriously long and white.

It's salad-the-size-of-my-head season. Tied only with fruit-salad-the-size-of-my-head season for my favourite food-based time of year.

Tonight's salad: spring mix, pea shoots, cherry tomatoes, green onion, radish, cucumber, lemon rosemary boursin, balsamic dressing. All veggies from our CSA. #food
A picture from above of a large blue and white patterned bowl full of green salad. The same bowl of salad, now from a slight distance, pictured next to a grey tabby cat for scale.

It's a good morning for lounging on the porch.

I need to get up, but he's so cozy I don't want to wake him.

Put on a podcast, ate a food, turned an ex-sheet into linen rags. Slow steps forward. Kitten is still cute.

Everything is overwhelming today. Bluesky, email, housework, other housework, reading fic, eating food-all overwhelming.

Except the kitten. For once the kitten is napping and isn't overwhelming at all.

I encountered a viral tumblr post in real life.

(Found on a phone pole near my house)
A poster stapled to a phone pole. On it is a drawing of a tuba and the text "My father had to flee Italy after he hit a fascist with his tuba"

A grey tabby adolescent kitten sitting very prim and proper. He has his mouth open mid-meow

A little hand-eating criminal.
The slightly-blurry face of a grey tabby kitten coming towards the camera The kitten has now gone partially over the camera. All that is in the screen is a stripy belly.

I, uh, don't think Chesterfield is remotely afraid of Bogart anymore.
In the foreground of the photo is the head of a medium-sized brown and white dog sitting directly in front of the photographer. In the background a grey tabby adolescent cat is flopped half on his back with his belly exposed and paws in the air, completely relaxed.

Playtime!

I'm now lining on hot honeyed ginger drink for my throat.

I have the energy to eat, sleep and play with Chesterfield, but not much more.

Kittens care not for covid and his energy is truly boundless.
