Portrait of an artist with her work...

Ube Donut Crumbs: Rejected
Mixed media, 2025
By Theodora
A white saucer with purple ube donut crumbs sits on a beige carpet. Theodora, a grey polydactyl cat, sits next to it looking up serenely at the camera.

POV: your cat's nickname is Rack Attack.
Theodora, a grey polydactyl cat lies on her person's chest with her beautifully massive paws extended to claim her territory. She is in the middle of a slow-blink, looking into your eyes and smiling. Lucky you.

Theo wants you to know she thinks you're doing a great job. (She can be kind of judgy, so that's actually a really big deal.)
Theodora, a magnificent gray polydactyl cat, is lying on a bed with purple sheets and a blue microfiber comforter. Her ears are perked up, and she is staring directly into the camera like she's memorizing your soul.

Theodora is wearing her Mona Lisa smile today.
Theodora, a gray polydactyl cat, relaxes on a cat tree platform. She's staring into the camera with her beautiful green eyes and smiling just a little bit, like she knows something you don't know.

Jack would like to be considered for Director of Food Scarcity Notification. He is loud and will be good at this job. Payment in treatsies accepted.

"3/8 is equivalent to 6/16, which is clearly smaller than 5/16."

Clearly.

Of all the things that have happened in my lifetime, the end of objective truth is the weirdest.

Human! We have assumed Treat Position. In case you haven't noticed, we are exactly where we usually are when treats are given. And yet, no treats. Can you explain?
Theodora, a grey polydactyl cat, and Jack, a house tiger supreme, sit on a wood floor pondering each other and and existential questions like whether they will last until suppertime without the administering of additional treats.

I said I was going to take it easy and chill today. Then I made potato latkes for the first time and baked two cakes. #HappyNewYear
A round pineapple upside down cake sits uncovered on a plate on the kitchen counter. An identical cake covered in plastic is in the background. They probably should have cooked a little longer, but they were alright. A dark golden tangle of fried potatoes, onions, and batter reclines on a plate next to two inviting pools. One, golden applesauce. The other, a creamy cloud of sour cream. Latkes, baby!!! Potato latkes rest on a bed of paper towels in a sheet pan. A small dish of Russian dressing with a spoon sits in the foreground. It was my first time making them, so I was experimenting with different cooking methods from batch to batch. I got noticeably better as I went along, but front left was clear winner, almost a latke funnel cake

Theodora, a grey polydactyl cat, lies comfortably ensconced in the crook of her human's arm. She's getting a nice head scritch and looking pleased as punch with her situation.

What's your favorite Danish butter cookie that comes in a tin, and why is it the pretzel-shaped one?

Finally back on a site that deserves the glory of Her Majesty, Empress Theodora, Destroyer of Things and Ruler of All She Surveys.
Empress Theodora, a polydactyl grey cat, sits sphinx-style on a bed with her paws in the foreground. Her kitten mittens are spectacularly cute.
