I'd lost my soul void six months prior to being chosen by Theodora. Wasn't quite ready when I met her at an adoption event, but I couldn't get the moment she put her paw on my arm and looked up at me out of my head. Drove almost ten hours round trip to pick her up a couple days later. 🤣

Theodora, a gray polydactyl cat, lays on a blue microfiber comforter, smiling serenely at the camera. Her preposterously large mitten-paws are stretched out in front of her toward the foreground, making them appear even more comically huge.

Y'all. This @peculiarityshop.bsky.social necklace is so unbelievably perfect I can't stand it.

Close up of a delicate gold necklace hanging around Tonya's neck, framed by the open collar of her navy blue linen dress. The pendant appears to be a random squiggle design, but when turned 90 degrees it is actually the word "fuck" spelled out in cursive.

This is "Corvette Fordite" from the Bowling Green Kentucky Corvette Plant, circa 2004-2008. I love how you can somewhat determine origin and age of Fordite based on the colors.

Close-up of a rectangular Fordite pendant held in the palm of my hand. There is a multitude of metallic colors swirled together as the "gem" is made from solidified automotive paint.

Got tons of compliments tonight on my @peculiarityshop.bsky.social necklace! It has a lot of symbolic meaning to me- it represents me and my two partners in our chosen family of three.

Tonya stares directly into the camera, smiling. She has wavy bright red hair in a chin-length bob haircut and is wearing a cozy, forest green, boat neck sweater. Around her neck is a bronze necklace ending in three small hands connected by their pointing fingers.

This magnificent beast joined our family in early 2020 and has spent the ensuing years systematically wresting control of the entire household. We are all better for it. Happy (belated) gotcha day, Theodora!

Theodora, a grey polydactyl cat lies on the top platform of a beige cat tree. Her massive paws daintily crossed in the foreground, she is staring directly into the camera and wearing a perfect Mona Lisa smile. Theodora knows things you don't know. Get used to it.

Met this guy last week. He was *working* for it.

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

Ringing in #2025!* Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉🎆🎇 *Holding hands with my cat and napping most of the day in ugly pajamas. #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats

Theodora, a winsome grey polydactyl cat naps contentedly on a grey leather sofa. Her miraculous kitten paw is in the foreground of the photo, resting in her human's hand.

Theodora hopes you're safe and comfortable this holiday season. 🎄🐈 ❤️ #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats

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?

They have cats too! 😺
