Me, naive: Aw, you want to sit in my lap--
#CatsOfBluesky
Seen from above and behind, a hand reaches to move a bowl of oatmeal because a tortie cat head is showing interest in stealing it.

I would like to report a crime. #CatsOfBluesky
A tortoiseshell kitten batting at an ornament on a small tree set up on a black chest. A red skirt is draped around the tree and hangs over the edge of the chest. A small Christmas tree that has toppled off a black chest. A red tree skirt and a plaid tree skirt are askew. There are no cats in this picture.

Willow wishes you warm blanket snuggles.

The sound of the utensil has summoned Willow. By allowing her to lick the plate clean (after checking that the food is cat-safe) after almost every meal, I look up from scraping the last bit of oatmeal from my bowl to see this hopeful face. Checking if cats can eat oatmeal now--a little is okay.
A tortoiseshell kitten with a dramatic light/dark face sits upright in a chair staring directly at me and willing me to put the bowl on the floor.

This kitten has no idea we've been putting up Christmas decorations and we have all cameras ready for when she launches herself into the plastic embrace of the tree. #caturday #CatsOfBluesky

How Willow sleeps; also, how I get woken up several times in the night. #CatsOfBluesky #torties #catsamirite

🪶 Heron and ducks. Forgot to post this Saturday. Rough weekend, other than a moment of calm during a long walk.

Breakfast discussion: Branches of Cat Philosophy:
-Playing with one's food--how much is too much?
-Do I have a duty of care to other cats in the household?
-How to treat one's humans ethically
and other topics?

Look on my cinnamon buns and despair.
A dozen irregularly shaped and iced cinnamon buns. The icing is very thick and glooped on.

🧶 Kitty Poof in progress for Great-Nibling who was born in September. Tortie colors for one of their cats. Bulky yarn knits up so fast!

So many teens saying thank you on Halloween gives me hope?

Too tired to think of a new costume this year. Recycling my red crayon to edit this timeline. If only I could.

Willow is checking out Cyrine's Fortress of Solitude. Cyrine's airplane ears say "not today, kitten." #CatsofBluesky
A dark blue bag with a pattern of green, blue, and purple flowers sits on a hardwood floor. A gray and white cat is just visible inside, her ears laid back as a tortoiseshell kitten stands on her hind legs and looks in, her front paws resting on the lip of the bag.

🧶 Today I was forced to learn how to pick up a dropped brioche stitch. Making mistakes helps us grow. But we can grumble about it.
Knitted brioche stitches in a bright blue and aqua blue. On row of the aqua stitches is definitely looser.
