Lyra, sitting pretty for #TortieTuesday 🖤😻🧡 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Tortie Lyra sits upright on the coffee table. Light coming in through the front window brings out the varied hues in her fur as she gazes past me.

A little bonus for your Monday night - a short, peaceful video of Mieszko, lying on top of me on the sofa, one front paw stretched out, floof going everywhere - because, let's face it, we need this 🥰😽💗 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #MondayVibes

A double loaf (more or less) for #KittyLoafMonday 🍞❤️😸😸❤️🍞 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Grey and white Callisto and fluffy grey Mieszko lie on a red and yellow blanket that's draped over the back of the sofa. They are lightly touching as they face opposite directions, and while Callisto rests her head on the blanket, Mieszko lies sternal with his front paws drawn in tightly.

A bonus photo for your Sunday night, and silly sits from floofmonster Mieszko 😸🐾❤️ #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy grey Mieszko sits on top of me on the sofa. Caught in the middle of grooming himself, his eyes are bright as one hind leg is flattened against me and he holds the other up in the air.

Callisto in her favorite place* 📦😸💗 #CatBoxSunday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

(* well, second favorite, after "wherever Mieszko is")
Grey and white Callisto lies atop old pizza boxes that are stacked on the stovetop. Her paws are in a loose pile as she lifts her head to look at me with her amber eyes.

What's that, you say? You want more photos of Raziel? Well, I'm all too happy to oblige 😸💗😽 #Caturday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy brown Raziel lies in the lap of my mother, who is wearing blue jeans and a grey sweatshirt. Her paws are placed delicately in front of her as my mom pets her, and her floof spills out around her.

Happy #Caturday from Raziel! 😸😻💗 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy brown Raziel lies at the corner of a wall platform high in my bedroom. She dangles her front paws over the side as she looks down at me, taking the photo from below.

And a few more photos for good measure, because once again, Fiedra is just such a treasure 🖤😻😽🖤 #FlashbackFriday #JellyBellyFriday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Four photos in which black shorthair Fiedra lies flopped on her side and squirming around on a soft black and white blanket. She happily kneads the air with her front paws while her belly is exposed in anticipation of pets.

I'm not a monster - *of course* there are also photos from the occasion! Here are a couple of them 🖤😸🖤 #FlashbackFriday #JellyBellyFriday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Black shorthair Fiedra lies stretched out on her side atop a soft black and white blanket. She gazes at me lovingly while stretching out and kneading her paws against my same arm that is rubbing her belly.

#FlashbackFriday: When I brought Fiedra home in May, I took her to work with me soon after to get checked out. Only two days in, in an extra strange and scary place, and she was already accepting belly rubs and kneading her paws. An absolute sweetheart 🖤🥹😻🥰🖤 #JellyBellyFriday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

A real #ThrowbackThursday, hearkening to a few years ago when furniture in the living room was arranged differently, and Trinket wasn't quite as spry as he is now - but just as sweet 😽❤️ #FluffyFursday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #TBT
Fluffy brown Trinket lies on the sofa, his front paws laid before him as he gazes serenely across the room.

#ThrowbackThursday to a night when Aela, Lyra, and Trinket were sharing my bed ❤️❤️❤️ #FluffyFursday #TBT #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Tortie Lyra, dilute calico Aela, and fluffy brown Trinket lie on my bed. Lyra and Trinket lie curled up near the head of the bed, just in front of my pillow, while Aela is nearer the foot of my bed and tucks her paws perfectly underneath her.

Bonus photos:

Ungoliant, and especially Trinket (Exhibit A), were perhaps disturbed from naps for those photos.

But they forgave me (Exhibit B), and don't worry, they got extra treats. 😽💕 #WhiskersWednesday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy brown Trinket lies in a large cat bed, a sour expression on his face amidst his long whiskers and big eyes after I have just disturbed him. Fluffy brown Trinket lies on blankets on the sofa: his eyes shut, his head resting on his paws, and one hind foot pushed out.

Part II 😻🥰💗😻 #WhiskersWednesday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Black shorthair Fiedra sits upright in the front window, fixing me with an intent gaze. Light shining in adds a gentle sheen to her fur, and accentuates her black whiskers and light green eyes. Fluffy brown Raziel sits upright in the front window. Her floof spills around her as she gazes outside, an intent look in her eyes as her pupils constrict. Her long whiskers frame her dotted muzzle. Dilute calico Aela crouches in the front window, gazing past me and through the glass. The light shining in accentuates her sharp white whiskers and her deep green eyes. Grey and white Callisto lies on a red and yellow blanket on the sofa, her tail curling in front of the camera. Light shining in accentuates her soft white whiskers and adds a glow to her fur as she stares past me.

I *did* in fact get fair cleaning done this weekend. Even after I took a break when I felt compelled to take advantage of the day's light to get photos of everyone's sweet little faces and whiskers 😻😻😻😻

Part I 🥰💗 #WhiskersWednesday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
A close-up of fluffy grey Mieszko's face as he looks at me. His light green eyes appear vividly among his grey fur as natural light coming in the front window gives him a gentle glow and accentuates his long whiskers. Tortie Lyra lies on blankets in the front window, her front paws tucked perfectly underneath her. As she stares at the camera with her light green eyes, the light shining in accentuates her subtle black whiskers. Fluffy brown Trinket stares at me with wide eyes as he lies on the sofa, and light catches in his very long whiskers. Fluffy black Ungoliant sits upright in the front window, her floof unkempt after being disturbed from a nap - yet her long black whiskers appear vividly in the light shining in.

Bonus photos for your Tuesday night: I wouldn't have been able to get them all in one photo, unfortunately--at least not in this case--but everyone hovered in the kitchen as I prepared myself some dinner 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🥰💗💕 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #TuesdayMotivation
Grey and white Callisto crouches on the kitchen floor below a small piece of furniture on which fluffy grey Mieszko sits upright as he looks at me. Fluffy brown Raziel lies on a cat tree perch just above Mieszko and also looks toward me, while dilute calico Aela sits on the floor below the dining table in the background and also shifts her gaze in my direction. Fluffy brown Trinket stands on the kitchen floor, looking curiously at me, while fluffy black Ungoliant steps around him. Black shorthair Fiedra crouches on a wall platform high in the kitchen and watches me closely while tortie Lyra sits on the floor in the hallway, just outside the kitchen, and looks past me toward an unseen housemate (Trinket).

A photo from the same occasion 😻💗😸 #TwosDay #TwoForTuesday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy grey Mieszko and grey and white Callisto lie on top of me on the sofa. They face toward each other, and as Mieszko stretches out his front paws, Callisto has settled on top of them and presses her face into Mieszko's floof.

Another day, another grooming session between Mieszko and Callisto. Albeit, in this case, a bit one-sided.

She loves him so much 😻😻😻 #TongueOutTuesday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

It's worth noting that the above photo came when Mieszko and Lyra were already settled in around my laptop, and then Aela decided to squeeze her way in among them all. And of course Lyra was purring up a storm the whole time 😸🖤🧡😻 #KittyLoafMonday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

How I spent a fair portion of the weekend 😻😸😽🍞🍞🍞 #KittyLoafMonday #CatsOfBluesky #Cats
Tortie Lyra, dilute calico Aela, and fluffy grey Mieszko lie on top of me on the sofa, each neatly tucking their front paws underneath them. Aela has positioned herself so as to trap my left arm where it sits hovered over my open laptop.

Bonus photo for your Sunday night: a cuddly boy on a quiet day past ❤️❤️ #SundayVibes #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy grey Mieszko lies squeezed between me and the back of the sofa as I lie down to relax. His right-hand limbs are loosely draped over me as he rests his head on my thigh.

Current status.

Today's cleaning operations have been delayed.

😻😸💕😽 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #SundayVibes
Grey and white Callisto lies atop my outstretched legs on the sofa, pressing her face into the floof of fluffy grey Mieszko who lies reclined against my legs.

Hi, Trinket 😸📦💕 #CatBoxSunday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
Fluffy brown Trinket sits upright in a dilapidated cardboard bag on my bedroom floor. His eyes and ears only just peek over the side as he looks at me.
