You can call me Piper or Pipermaru. She/Her.
I like cats. I have two: Ember is an older tortie and Ash is grey and white. Ember is Ash’s mother. They are bonded and I adopted them when they were 10 and 3.

A little video of Ember and her snake. She loves this thing and will move it around the house so it’s always close by.

I put a toy under the crinkle paper. Ash is enjoying trying to get to it.

Still a bit cool here, but sunny enough that the porch is warm.

I’ve got the holiday off work, and the ladies are enjoying having me home. We had a great sleep in.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, and Ash, a grey and white cat, sit together on a wooden table and look out the windows of a porch. It is very sunny.

Ash and I are ready for bed, but Ember had decided she wants to attack the sheets. Once I got new sheets she’s gotten into attacking them, which I really wish she wouldn’t do, but I can’t seem to dissuade her.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, is in attack mode on the floor while looking up at a bed.

This is how Ash spends most of the day. But when I want to go to bed, she decides she wants all the attention.
Ash, a grey and white cat, is curled up in a light blue cat bed under a daybed. It’s dark under there and she looks annoyed at being disturbed.

Ember’s favorite part of yoga. We’ve been lying like this for 20 minutes. I’m pretty sure my butt is asleep.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, lays on a human lower belly and legs. She looks very comfortable. There are two yoga blocks behind her and the human is laying on a yoga mat.

My tree has finally turned. Pretty late. It looks like Ember is admiring the leaves, but it’s more likely the squirrels that have her attention.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, is looking out a window at a tree with orange leaves. You can see the back of her head, she is backlit and in shadow.

I bought these raised dishes and no one likes them so I’m going to stash them in the attic.

The ladies look shocked at my behavior.

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, sits on a carpeted step. Ember, a tortie cat, sits above her next to a door and two black elevated cat bowls. Both look towards the camera with big eyes.

We missed our sunny porch time yesterday since I was gone all day. Luckily it’s sunny again today.

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, lays on a wicker chair with grey/blue cushions. She is sprawled in a sun beam with most of her pink toe beans showing.

Comfy on the day bed. We had a pretty low key day today.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, and Ash, a grey and white cat, both loaf on a daybed covered by a dark green blanket. Large white cushions sit behind Ash. And an unused cat bed sits next to Ember.

We had a block party for Halloween and put up a lot of balloons. Ember found this bit of leftover string. We had a good time playing with it, very bouncy.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, looking intently at a small piece of white ribbon. She is sitting on a fairly cluttered dining table. A wood sword from my pirate costume is behind her.

Happy Halloween! The ladies are creepily waiting for me to be done working out, lol.

#CatsofBluesky
Ember, a tortie cat, lays on the second step, she is stretched out along the whole step. Ash, a grey and white cat, sits at the top of the stairs, bending her neck to look down.

Tonight we added some catnip to the crinkle paper. As an extra treat.

I actually usually do this with both hands as fast as I can, but I couldn’t figure out a place to set the phone to get video so I had to hold it.

Ash seems to be avoiding the sunbeam instead of laying in it. Maybe it’s too hot!?

I’m about to do some yard work on this surprise nice Sunday, but for now we are relaxing.

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, lays on a grey and wicker loveseat. She lays just outside of the sunbeam.

We are back from the vet with mostly good news. They are both very healthy, but need to lose a bit of weight. Vet thinks I’m not over feeding so we might need to add more play time.

#CatsofBluesky
Ash, a grey and white cat, feeling much more confident now that she’s not at the vet.
