@catsofyore.bsky.social hey remember last year when I pestered you with robin pics for like a week? WELL GUESS WHO’S BACK FOR 2025
Picture of our backyard shed. What’s that thing up on the shed doors? Why, it’s a nest! A nest with three baby blue robin’s eggs inside!

This bear kills fascists.
Model of a grey Ewok (aka Space Teddy Bear) from Star Wars. The Ewok is playing the helmets of three dead stormtroopers like they were drums. Remember when they’d do that gag in the old black and white Fleischer cartoons? Man, what a classic goof.

describe yourself in 4 characters (embarrassing edition)
Eleanor Abernathy, the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons. She is an elderly woman with gray hair , and is wearing a pink dress and a purple cardigan. Eleanor has a crazed expression. Hordes of cats, some domestic, some feral, cluster around and on her body. Henry Darger, who is NOT fictional, but WAS a character. In this picture he’s an old man, with a liver spotted bald head and a bushy white mustache. He is sitting on some steps outside and probably thinking about his job mopping floors at the hospital. He’s definitely NOT thinking that anyone will ever read, let alone love, the bizarre artwork and writing he spends every night creating. Marvin, the depressed android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. But not the fancy one from the 2005 movie. This is the much shittier Marvin from the 1980s BBC miniseries. He just looks like trash. Dustin Hoffman as Willy Lowman in the film of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.” He’s dressed in a suit and tie and carrying two suitcases that look far too heavy for him.

gentle reminder that you’re not obligated to “bear witness to history,” or whatever today. Be kind to each other and be kind to yourselves. I’m gonna go hug a cat.
A chubby old white dude is wearing a green t-shirt. His face is out of frame but that’s okay because the important part is the shirt. The shirt has an illustration of two forest pals - a mushroom and an acorn - on a log. Underneath the picture of the pals are the words, “log off.”

Thanks! He’s pretty nice to sit on tbh
An adorable tortoise shell kitten sitting on the shoulder of some middle-aged white guy. The guy is balding and has a beard and glasses. The kitten is fluffy and has her head cocked to one side like she’s gonna take a nibble out of the guy’s ear.

Weird. I mean, I *have* been seeing a lot of public grief on social media the past couple of days - just, none of it has been about this creep.
The headline from a Polygon dot com article reads, “Across social platforms, Neil Gaiman’s fans are struggling: ‘People are grieving in a very public way’

A tweet by @PleaseBeGneiss from April 15, 2022 @PleaseBeGneiss: it’s so funny how santa only gives presents to good kids but the easter bunny is like I don’t give a shit what you did, I just need to offload these fucking eggs Reply from @Bodangle2: Same, got ten chickens that lay about 8 eggs a day. Ive been throwing them at the deer to keep em out of the garden but they’ve been licking the eggs off of each other and now they want me to hit em with eggs. It’s a complete nightmare.

Fuck, I just remembered there’s an X-Files themed episode of Reboot where the investigators are named Fax Modem and Daya Nully.
Fax and Data, two blocky computer generated characters, seen from above. Fax is wearing a rumpled black suit and Data is wearing a sensible purple dress. Fax looks sleepy. Data looks skeptical.

When you just want a nice picture of your cat but she’s got the Ring curse on her
Pigpen the little gray girlcat. At least that’s what the picture should show but her face is all blurry like she just watched the cursed video from the 2002 movie, The Ring.

Cookiepuss says he wants to “be a streamer.” (I don’t think he knows what that is.)
Cookiepuss, a black and white boycat, is sitting on a blue and black “gamer” chair. He’s making a 2000s era webcomic face at the camera.

Thank you for sharing Jasper! He sounds like an amazing guy. My veterinarian’s office also has a Jasper and he is also Pretty Great.
A photo from the check out desk at my veterinarian. Jasper, an orange and white cat, is sitting up nice and tall on an office chair. He is wearing a red bow tie. Next to his picture is a sign that reads “Employee of the Month.”

Pigpen would like to know if you have any Temptations to spare. Any amount of Temptations helps!
Pigpen the little gray girlcat is lying on her side on a white blanket that I put on a shelf for her. She’s looking over her shoulder at the camera, her eyes wide and hopeful. She will not get more Temptations, however, because she literally just had some.

“Owl Jolson,” a small owl wearing a red vest and blue bow tie. He loves to sing-a, about the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a.” Owl appeared in the Merrie Melodies short, “I Love To Sing-A”

Sincere sympathies from Edison, who is getting drops in BOTH ears twice a day. She asks me to advise Tai to try defensive poops.
A veterinarian’s exam room. Edison, a black cat with ear mites, is hiding in the sink with just her head poking up. She is hoping the lady with the drops will forget all about her.

As a kitten, Pigpen medaled in Being Scared and the Women’s Soft Medley. Now she is all grown up and competes internationally in both Yelling and Speedrunning Treat Puzzles.
Pigpen, a little gray girlcat, as a kitten. She is sitting on the stairs and looks like a scared, soft burrito.

omg this is literally Gizmo Man from the H-B Harlem Globetrotters cartoon!
Gizmo Man from the 1980s Harlem Globetrotters cartoon from Hanna-Barbera. He has a giant Afro and can pull all sorts of gizmos out of it.

Your Baby Robin Update™️ for Saturday, June 29 (Final Edition?) *Cat’s In The Cradle begins playing* 🥲
The robin’s nest, now empty. 🥲 One of the young robins, all grown up and sitting in a tree in our yard.

Your Baby Robin Update™️ for Friday, June 28 (Late Edition). Ladies and gentlemen, we have actual birds now.
Two baby robins sitting up in their nest. They look a lot more grown up today! A closer view of two of the baby robins. Mom and dad robin were very unhappy with me for being so close to the nest.

Your Baby Robin Update™️ for Thursday, June 27 (Evening Edition). Had to rush this one as the mom was sitting on the fence about five feet away and just YELLING at me.
Three baby robins in a nest. Their feathers are coming in nicely so the babies look like they’re wearing fancy little brown and white spotted coats. Not pictured: mother robin behind me yelling that I’d better knock it off.

Your Baby Robin Update™️ for Wednesday, June 26 (Evening Edition). The babies are quickly becoming surly teens.
A nest with three young robins inside. In this picture you can see the nest is built on top of one of the doors to our shed because birds are just terrible planners. Close-up of the robins nest. Three young robins are looking out over the rim of the nest. They look like the sort of surly teens you’d find hanging out in front of the 7-11. Just scowling at everyone and everything in the world.
