I was looking for a particular picture of me from back in the day, using the keyword "ballons".
A very elaborate balloon sculpture of Jesus Christ on the cross, complete with nails through his wrists and feet; a chagrined-looking muppet face; and a crown of thorns around his long balloon hair, with the vines made of deflated dark brown balloons. This is a hate crime of some kind, I'm sure of it.

Apparently, Nibbler has learned the English phrase "little bitch" and knows when it's applied to him. I'm in trouble. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #clingasaur
A fuzzy brown tabby sitting on my pajama-clad arm as I lie in bed. Morning sun streams past him through the French windows behind us. His paw is clenched, claws gripping my pajamas, as his head swings to follow his attentive ear, which has picked up on the insult I just used to complain about him.

A chubby brown tabby with huge green eyes lies comfortably on a pile of blankets, enjoying the air conditioning but making an odd face. Her mouth is open wide, with the right side of her face squinched up into a snarl. At the same time, one of her tiny white paws is curled up like a fist. At the bottom of the picture, you can see the pink toe beans and black-and-pink toe pad on her hind foot.

Nibbler cries out to the cosmos about his troubles, most of which involve The Lady Catherine refusing his passionate advances. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #theladycatherine #caturday
A fuzzy brown tabby lays on the top, curved shelf of a cat tree made of light wood and gray felt padding. Sun is streaming through an arched window onto much of his soft fur, creating sharp shadows. His head is turned toward the sun, presenting his profile with short, but not push-nosed, muzzle. The white fur around his mouth is the only white on him. His eyes are closed and his mouth is open. Beyond the white blinds on the window, palm trees dominate the ground cover.

Catherine, Lady Darlington enjoys sleeping in the sun and lightly cuddling mama. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #caturday #theladycatherine #ladycatherineofdarlington #notoesonmain
A chubby brown tabby curls up like a cinnamon bun on a white sofa, surrounded on three sides by a white and blue comforter, a white woman's leg with toes obscured by a cartoon pig's head, and a gray thick knit blanket. Sunlight lights up one ear, all four white toes, her tail tip, and a spray of eyebrow whiskers.

Well, it does look pretty good right now. The top of it feels like a hay field at harvest. Curly hair is both a pain in the butt and very forgiving. I might be able to pull off femme again. Phew!
Closeup of a white woman without makeup, but with many freckles. My big dark eyes are squinting uncertainly - does my hair look actually good? My mostly gray brown hair is clipped short on the side but has 2-inch curls on the top. I am propped up on pillows, as usual.

Perhaps asking my autistic teen to cut my hair wasn't a genius move. I mean, we had a good time, so I don't regret it, but uh... it's pretty haphazard. I look like if they made Invincible 2 today, with the 1980s cast. I look like a friendly tractor store […]

Closeup on a white woman's face sans makeup, sporting a mask of Irish freckles. I am twisting my face in chagrin, trying to get a good photo of a bad haircut and failing. You can see gray and silver curls of various lengths doing whatever they want, and it's dismaying. Behind me is the pile of pillows propping me up.

I am rich with cat. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #clingasaur #theladycatherine #catherineladydarlington #caturday
A fuzzy brown tabby stretches down my blanket-covered legs, past my knees. Beyond my feet, a chubby brown tabby sleeps almost hidden from view. We're all on a cream sofa in desperate need of pillow fluffing.

@steggy My friend who sews has two cats, only one of whom is a pain in the butt. Here is Sebastien, settling in on a future blouse. #catsofmastodon
An orange tabby stretches as he prepares to prevent his mama from working on her sewing project. He's standing on pink plaid fabric laid out on a cutting table, right next to two rectangular pattern pieces made of white tissue, held in place with four white weights apiece.

[Cat butt]

My lap was available, and yet Nibbler chose my husband's lap to invade. They really are two of the sweetest guys ever. Sorry the cat is giving you the blind eye. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #clingasaur #caturday #catbutt
A fuzzy brown tabby stands on the lap of a white man sitting on an office chair in front of a desk. The man is wearing a gray t-shirt and black trousers, and his face is outside the photo frame. The cat has dark tabby stripes on the outside of his legs and tail, while his groin area and lower tail area are tawny. It's clear from a glance that he is neutered.

Today's cloudy weather provided a great opportunity to wear my sister's birthday present to me: possibly the best cat sweater I've ever seen. #ootd #catsweater
Light brown oversized sweater with dark brown hand-drawn-looking cat. The only detailed features the blobby cat shape has are two yellow eyes, shiny buttons with slit pupils sewn onto the cat face. I may be visible at the top of the photo.

[Bruise (not injured)]

Any fans of big bruising here? I'm going to miss waking up with stuff like this when I get taken off one of my blood thinners.
A white woman holds out her hand, which has a purple bruise from thumb knuckle to wrist.

Closeup of the garret window of a white and red Queen Anne-style building. There are somewhat elaborate wooden decorations to enliven the white exterior, and the window is framed in red. The window is made up of abstract-patterned stained glass.

Happy #caturday from Mr Nibbler, the bed hog; and The Lady Catherine, who is not sure she wants to cross Mt. Blanket. #clingasaur #theladycatherine #theladycatherineandnibbler #catherineladydarlington #ladycatherineofdarlington #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec
A soft brown tabby starts to climb out from under lavender sheets and a pink comforter, but he pauses, enjoying the warmth and comfort. His light green eyes are half closed, and only his head and front paws protrude from the covers. A chubby brown tabby sits up on a cream sofa, with a folded red throw pillow behind her and a chunky knit gray blanket in front of her. Her bright green eyes look undecided, and her little pink nose is flushed. In the background is various art, masks, and books.

Nibbler wants to make sure I can't get up and abandon him. He also wants to expose that I haven't shed my winter coat yet. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #clingasaur #caturday
A fuzzy brown tabby cuddles my pajama-clad leg, wrapping his front paw around it and resting his head on my pale, hairy leg protuding from pajama leg. Only one ear is visible; the other is pressed flat against my leg. You can see his pink, freckled nose and white beard, as well as a new patch of white growing in along his cheekbone.

Nibbler's eternal lament: I have no balls, yet I must hump. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #theladycatherine #theladycatherineandnibbler #catherineladydarlington #ladycatherineofdarlington
A chubby tabby curls up on a white sofa, cuddling into a gray knit blanket and leaning against my pajama-clad knee. She is trying to ignore the fuzzy, dilute brown tabby who is trying to make sweet love to her hind leg.

A chubby brown tabby curls up on a white sofa. She has piled up her four white paws to make a pillow for her white chin, all of which rests on a red throw pillow. Her back rests against a piled-up gray blanket of giant knit. A fuzzy brown tabby curls up on a white and blue comforter piled up on my lap. He is resting his back paws against my small pink hand, and he's wrapped his tail around my wrist. I like this sweater, but it could stand to have longer arms.

My kid sent me this. From suchbeloved on Tumblr. Happy holidays!
The gloomy girl and goofy guy from the US version of The Office. She says, Someone will die. He says, Of fun. Listed over her face are the solemn Lent, Ramadan, and Ides of March. Listed over his are the joyful Holi, Purim, Pi Day, and St. Patrick's Day.

@jerry Mew looks like what I imagine Nibbler did as a kitten. Here's a preview of a middle-aged Mew. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler
A fuzzy brown tabby looks up in profile from bathing, startled by a noise on the roof. His visible light green eye is huge, and a tiny blep of pink tongue peeks out from his closed mouth. The white on his muzzle and chin is the only white originally on his body, but he is starting to go a little gray here and there. The cat sits on a pile of blankets on my lap.

My sister found this epic photo of me popping collar back in the '80s. #retrofashion
White teenaged girl with short curly hair wears dark sunglasses, a green shirt, and black pants. She's popping the collar on a white single-breasted blazer to which she attached a pin in the shape of red lips. The wall behind her has peeled wallpaper, and the curtain rod is askew. A neatly made bed with collapsed headboard is behind her. Duran Duran posters dot the wall.

The Lady Catherine of Darlington would prefer I pet her rather than put away the laundry. I of course must oblige. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #caturday #theladycatherine #catherineladydarlington
A chubby brown tabby sprawls on a bed covered with folded laundry. Her green eyes are sleepy and half closed, and her round face and 3-smile are flawless. Her curled front paws have tiny white gloves, and her stretched back legs have white knee-highs. Her white bib is separate from her white chest spot, which is separate from her white belly. She hides her tiny dark tail under her back feet.

My Nibbler is frustrated by the low level of water in my water glass. #catsofmastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #nibbler #clingasaur #caturday
A fuzzy brown tabby shoves his face into a blue water glass on a light wood nightstand. His front paws are on the nightstand and his back paws (not shown) on the sofa arm. On the nightstand is a charging smartwatch, a book of Japanese puzzles, and a chrome-and-cream table lamp. Behind the cat is a struggling houseplant and a rather good stuffie version of Peter Rabbit.
