#caturday with heat advisory and a napping cat startled awake and into flight by mysterious outside sounds. I was trying to catch the old boy at rest. (Redo with alt text)
#caturday with heat advisory and sound machines for tonight’s fireworks. I fucking hate fireworks and do not understand how you can just roll up to a yellow castle called Circus Explosives or whatever and leave with quarter sticks of dynamite and 700 mortar rounds of screaming red whistlers
Happy birthday! Thanks for all the good fun stuff you post. This Simpson quote helps me when an excellent pun or reference doesn’t connect with my students.
Our yard is a cat(ch)-all for sundry and diverse felines. Half are neighbors’ and the other half are from the wind. I give em space and keep the water clean. Heat index broke 105 yesterday, and this fellow laid up in the shade of one of our cars all day. Never seen him before. #caturday
#caturday. Augie’s been monitoring the backyard neighborhood cat situation. Two new striped guys from who knows where.
This is a county-wide emergency requiring my full attention. We’ve been stressing this little fleck of gravel for two hours. There is yowling. I cannot remove the gravel because that upsets our precious little sir. I can only watch him watch the gravel and cheer when he bats it around. #caturday
I think it’s very very important for Sonic to be careful when they talk about matters of theology
Here’s one of those indignities—Salem is now sort of ours. I mean he mills about, we feed him, and the he’s on his way. But he irks the hell out of Augie🤣
#caturday with dark night of the soul over here. He’s brooding because a stray cat sleeps just beyond the window.
#caturday in an old blue secondhand or more chair. Back door’s been open all day and the boy is pooped. It’s also race week in Darlington, so nascar fans are nascarring
Eastern bluebird on a power line. I don’t know why but it’s a lonesome little image.
