Kindness is a radical act.
Geriatric millennial, cat parent, linguistics enthusiast. I will write again.
Probably.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are

I was 9. I have no clue how this book made it into my school library but I'd read all the other books.
Cover of The Pleasure Garden by Leon Garfield showing a couple walking whilst a skull looms over them unbeknownst to them.

Me this morning with the heater broken. It's okay I'll just wear my fleece jacket. Oh its full of cat, I'll just wrap myself up in my blanket. Oh. Okay. *shivers*
Jackson the giant ginger cat is curled up in a nesr made of a lilac fleece jacket on my bed. Galaxy the regular sized black cat is making biscuits on a large fluffy blanket with flowers on it.

My cats have been fighting for territory for the last week but in between fights they are having moments like this so I think they're going to be okay.
Jackson the giant ginger car is curled around Galaxy the regular sized black cat in a beige cat bed on a red sofa. They are lying nose to tail.

Cat cuddles for you.
Two cats lie on top of each other, cuddling. Galaxy is a black cat with green eyes, and he is facing the camera with his paws on the other cat, Jackson, whose face is obscured by Galaxy's. Jackson is twice the size of Galaxy and a ginger tuxedo.

Small kitten with head lowered using one paw to pat at a sticker on its head that reads "Please handle with love Fragile Thank you"

Today Jackson posed like he was going to drink my Lotteria drink until I picked up my phone to take a photo and I had to dress up as Santa (complete with itchy beard) at work. These are the most normal things about today.
Jackson the giant ginger tuxedo cat looks to the left off camera whilst standing next to a drink from Lotteria burger chain. The drink is to his right. It does not look like he's drinking from it but I promise it did just before I took the photo.

Post a pic you took to add some calm to the timeline
A wooden arch in a pond with stones leading up to it. There is a thatched roof, green plants in the pond and a bridge behind it. In the background is a blue sky with a few clouds. The photo was taken on Nami Island.

This photo captures well the inhabitants (both full-time and visiting) of this flat.
In the background, Sio, a white person with long dark brown hair, is talking to Jackson, the giant ginger tuxedo cat. In the foreground Galaxy, the regular sized black cat with green eyes is blurred from moving whilst having his chin scratched by the hand of the photographer (my boyfriend).

I've had an 'interesting' life by all accounts. Today, I stumbled upon a picture of the time back in 2010 I was a world record holder along with my ex, his colleagues and their families (and yes being dressed as Superman was part of the world record).
A white person with long brown hair is posing in an office as superman flying whilst wearing a modern superman costume and a tiny digital watch. They have their mouth open and are looking to the sky. They look very happy.

Last night was cold enough for me to become a heat pad for my cats. This is genuinely one of my favourite things about this time of year.

This morning, Jackson lazily rolled onto my cold feet and warmed them up. Cats are great.
Jackson the large ginger tuxedo cat is sleeping to the left of the picture, facing forwards. Galaxy, a regular sized black cat is sleeping on the right side of the picture with his back to camera. Both are on a brown blanket. I am lying under said blanket.

Sliding in with another Caturday photo, this time of Jackson who mostly wants to know why I'm not sharing the cat treats (it's because the cat treats are Tylenol and antibiotics).
Jackson is a very large ginger tuxedo cat with yellow eyes. He is looking at me in a curious but mildly annoyed way. He is beautiful with one side of his philtrum white and the other ginger.

Happy Caturday. Galaxy knows there is fur on his nose, but he would like to keep it there. Thank you very much.
Galaxy is a black cat with green eyes. He has a small bit of ginger fur on his nose. The picture shows just his head poking up over my leg.

Just deleted a long self pitying skeet, the tl:dr is I'm sick and homesick. Here is Galaxy blocking my view of the subtitles on I Hate Christmas.
Galaxy, a black cat with green eyes, lays sprawled on a white desk in front of a TV showing a scene from I Hate Christmas. There is a cat shaped coaster in front of him.

I'm sick and lost my voice. My cats are looking after me. I love them.
A picture of my legs with two cats on them. On the left is Jackson, a very large ginger tuxedo cat. Lying on my legs is Galaxy, a regular sized black cat with green eyes. The trousers are covered in cat hair.

If you read that long (self-indulgent?) thread about my good day and being happy and seen and whatever, then here is your reward.
Jackson is a large ginger tuxedo cat. He is lying down and looking to the left of the pi ture. His tongue is out and wrapped around his nose. My hand is to his left.

Show me your pet(s) and what (who) they're named after.
My cats Jackson, a giant ginger tuxedo cat, and Galaxy, a regular sized black cat, lying together on my sofa. A picture of Jackson Galaxy a bald white man with a black beard. He is wearing a purple shirt and a grey waistcoat. He has an earring in one eat and a ginger kitten on each shoulder, one is looking at the floor and the other is looking to the left out of shot.
