#Caturday report: when two cats who don't like each other both want to sit with me on the couch.
Photo that I took while sitting on the couch with my legs stretched in front of me covered by a duvet. At the bottom of the photo, black cat Ninja is sleeping in my lap. At the top of the photo, calico cat Mutsey's face, with her eyes closed, is visible just past my feet on the other end of the couch. In the background there is a maneki neko (lucky cat) sculpture on the floor behind Mutsey.

Belated #Caturday post: both cats giving me the side eye from my lap when I suggest I need to get up.
Collage of two photos of close ups of two different cat faces as they look at me in annoyance with their ears slightly back and their eyes looking at me with disgruntlement. Black cat Ninja is on the left and calico Mutsey is on the right.

Belated #Caturday report: ongoing territory negotiations between black cat Ninja and calico Mutsey.
Photo looking down at the floor showing the base of an office swivel chair. On the left a small black cat loafs behind the chair looking to her right. On the right, a larger calico cat loafs in front of the chair looking in the opposite direction so the two cats are not making eye contact.

#Caturday photo essay 🐈‍⬛ Last night, I brought Mutsey (calico) downstairs to watch TV with us. She wanted to sit in my lap, but Ninja was already there. When Ninja fell asleep, Mutsey crept out far enough to sniff her and then quickly retreated back to the safety of her carrier.
Photo collage of 4 photos. Each is taken from my POV with black cat Ninja sprawled sleeping across my lap in the foreground as I sit on one end of the couch with my legs stretched towards the other end. Beside my feet in the background is a cat carrier in which calico Mutsey lurks. In the first three photos, Mutsey cautiously emerges from the carrier and slowly approaches us until she can sniff Ninja's side. In the last photo Mutsey has turned around and is going back into her carrier, which is her safe place.

#Caturday report: they won't normally eat this close, but if Ninja's in the box, she's apparently in a separate room from Mutsey.
Photo looking down at the floor where two cats who are eating with their heads nearly 12 inches (30 cm) from each other. On the left, Ninja the black cat is eating from her dish inside a cardboard box. On the right, Mutsey the calico cat is eating from a dish on a rectangular plastic placemat.

#Caturday report: this is your brain on catnip.
Photo of a black cat on a pink blanket with a colorful cloth catnip toy between her paws. Her face is a blur of motion distorting her open mouth with little sharp teeth and pink tongue. One eye looks half-closed while the other is elongated into a glassy oval by her movement.

Belated #Caturday photos of Ninja (black cat) and Mutsey (calico being ridiculously photogenic)
A black cat nestled in lavender sheets so only her face and the toe beans of her back foot nestled under her nose are visible A calico cat looks up at the camera so her face takes up most of the frame, obscuring her kitty loaf body.

#Caturday report: a slight lull in hostilities last night when calico Mutsey and black cat Ninja briefly napped within 2-3 feet of each other.
Photo of two cats. In the foreground a black cat sleeps on a pink blanket draped over human lap. In the background, a calico cat is starting to doze off inside an open cat carrier that is partially covered with a blanket. The calico cat's eyes are still slightly open as she side eyes the black cat.

#Caturday report: Mutsey did not know about last weekend's time change. She was so concerned about not getting her breakfast at the usual time that she bravely ventured downstairs to the kitchen looking for her food.
Photo taken from POV of a human standing next to a kitchen counter looking down at her feet where a calico cat is staring up anxiously at her. The cat is standing on her hind legs, reaching her front paws up towards the countertop where two dishes have wet cat food.

#Caturday box seat at the dinner theater?
Photo looking looking down at a black cat sitting in a cardboard box in a hallway. She is watching a calico cat who is crouched in a doorway eating food from a white bowl laid on plastic placemat, because this is a classy place.

In this crazy world, here is the #Caturday sunrise over a kitty loaf.
Photo of a black cat kitty-loafing in front of a window. Her back is to the viewer as she looks outside, and she is silhouetted by the morning sun.

#Caturday report: the moment when both cats realize the other cat is there.
Collage of two photos showing nearly identical images with a close up of a calico cat's face peeking out from under a blanket in the left foreground and a black cat in the background right side sitting in the blanketed lap of a human. In the top photo the calico cat is looking forward, and the black cat has her eyes closed and her head slightly down. In the bottom photo, the calico's eyes have widened and she looks as though she's heard a noise behind her, but the blanket on her head blocks her view. The black cat's eyes have opened, and she's looking towards the calico who is invisible under the blanket.

#Caturday report: we had visitors, so Ninja hid most of the day, and only re-emerged after the strange humans had left.
