A tale in three parts. Please read alt text. #Kittenroth

Same tabby eyes closed mouth open. Is it a yawn? Or is she shouting with a banshee scream, the words “For The Horde!”?

Gray tabby turning looking at the photographer. Her face has a white mask of fur that looks quite a bit like the image on the forsaken banner.

I did!

The creamsicle colored cat with the enormous fluffy tail lies on his side, head upside down oven mitt with paws, relaxed, begging for belly rubs. Which he will enjoy, and which the giver will enjoy too. He is safe.

Please behold the extreme floofyness of mine cat.

A very long and fluffy light orange cat stretches out comfortably with forelegs extended.

Ahhhhhhh

The gray tabby with the adorable tucked forepaws on gives us another photo. This is up close and personal with the tuck of utter perfection prominently on display.

Christie Golden@christiegolden· Jun 11

I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid these are the most perfectly tucked adorable little forepaws in the entire universe and Kitten Sylvanas knows it. I will never be able to move again.

A gray tabby sits with her forepaws absolutely perfectly tucked beneath her, gazing to the right with half closed eyes, exuding satisfaction with her amazing self.

My mom looking stunning on her 99th birthday March 25, 2024. She left us less than four months later. Love you, missing you on Mother’s Day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this goodest of good boys Kim Seonho! If you have not seen Hometown ChaChaCha, please go watch (Not sure but it may still be on Netflix.) This is SUCH an excellent show, funny, poignant, heartbreaking, all about community and families of all kinds. Writing is a masterclass.

A Korean woman wearing a magenta dress looks at a Korean man as he holds an umbrella over them both. They stand on a beach, small and centered in an image of a sky and clouds lit in pastel shades of pinks, blue, and lavender in pastel shades that match the umbrella. The ocean is a soft gray-blue shade.

A korean man, Kim Seonho, in his role as jack-of-all-trades and walking green flag Hong Dusik, known as "Chief Hong". His black hair is cut in a boyish, floppy style, his famous dimple is apparent, and he's just about to smile. He wears a black shirt.

Not Kyle McLaughlin, Denis Lawson! I would not be surprised if he was the actual model. I mean just look.

This is supposedly Aragorn from Lord of the Rings on the cover of a 1980s edition of the Return of the King.

This is actor Denis Lawson, best known to the general public as Luke’s friend Wedge Antilles from Star Wars. Given the timing of the books printing, Your Honor, may it please the court, I present evidence that the artist used Mr. Lawson as their model for Aragorn.

Kitten Anduin and Kitten Sylvanas snuggling. Peace in Kittenroth.

Kitten Sylvanas says hello

I wanted to just repost, but please check the number of reposts and it will be made clear why I stayed my hand.

A headline reads: Giant phallus-shaped iceberg floating in Conception Bay surprises residents of Dildo, Canada.” Really. I promise you it does. The photo depicts a beautiful blue… Well, exactly what it says it is. There are 13 comments, 271 likes… And 69 reposts.

Ahhhhhh thank you!!!! Feels like a million years ago and just last week. Here is a snuggly Kitten Sylvanas to say thanks!

A gray tabby with a white mask that resembles the mask on the Forsaken banner in World of Warcraft snuggles up with one dainty white-footed paw extended.

See???

A light orange kitten, medium hair, has tufts of fur coming out of his ears and shows orange-pink toe beans as he lies on his side. A human hand cups his forepaws.

Christie Golden@christiegolden· Feb 24

AAHAAAHAAHAAA!! Also, gaslight has turned into vernacular, and I bet some younger folks I’ve never seen the movie. Give it a watch!

Christie Golden@christiegolden· Feb 7

…triplets!

A buff-colored fluffy floof of a cat enjoys a belly rub.

my housemate has dubbed him “whiny baby”. He really is! Lets you know anytime anything’s wrong very loudly and often! Like meowing for bfast. I have a sleep tracker that records sounds and:

A screenshot of messages. First shows a screenshot of a sleep app trying to identify a meowing cat. The app suggests “baby fussing or crying.” 2nd message from OP: “No lie detected WHINY BABY CONFIRMED” 3rd from OP’s housemate of a hysterically laughing emoji and a heart like to the photo. Last message from OP: “He started at four”

You'd think so. You'd be wrong. (P.S. I think they're in on the joke.)

"Man Cereal", featuring boxes that are plain white with black lettering, except where the flavor is designated. The words on the first, "Salted Fudge", use brown letters for the flavor. Below are the words in black: Classic, decadent & dominating. "Fruity" is in pink and is described as: Loud, juicy, & legendary. "Maple Bacon" is in orange and is described as: Sweet, smoky & sigma.

Sometimes the world is too much with us. And it is So. Hard. Being. A. CAT. (Pls enjoy the alt text.)

Kitten Anduin, a fluffy floof of a cream-orange cat, lies curled up and napping with his bushy tail in the foreground. The right foreleg is extended over his forehead, his closed eyes still visible. The left stretches partially under his body and outward, as if he was trying to shield himself from existential horror but just gave up.

These may LOOK like the previous breakfast cookies. But instead of dried figs and fig & vanilla maple syrup this has smoke & orange maple syrup, grated orange rind, chopped pecans and dried apricot added!

Cookies made with oats and flour, almond butter, cinnamon, and other cookie spices, chopped pecans and chopped apricots, dark chocolate chips, and smoke and orange maple syrup with a dash of grated orange rind. They are topped with frozen pomegranate seeds.

Christie Golden@christiegolden· Jan 2

Ah January! Such a lovely month with roses in bloo—wtf rose????

Behold this foolish pink rose, which apparently has no idea it’s January.

Um sectors gingerbread cookies spread out huh? Please do read all text :-)

Gingerbread cookies have merged during baking to become one giant cookie spreading from edge to edge on the baking sheet. Doubtless they intend to take over the world next. I must stop their evil intent by eating them all. All of them I tell you!

Christie Golden@christiegolden· Dec 24

I’ve had some unforeseen difficulties with my move and of course everybody’s closed for the holiday season. It’s fine. I have 3 cookie recipes that I’m baking. Here’s the first one because I plan to do some packing and stuff today. It’s a breakfast cookie way too tasty to be as healthy as it is.

Cookies made with oats, oat flour, dried figs, almond butter, chia seeds, fig and vanilla syrup, and pomegranate seeds.

Made congee in the pressure cooker. Used calrose short grain rice. Dang, yo.

Congee with chicken and topped with green onions, cilantro, a splash of soy sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Oh mine sure orders! He’s yowling at me nonstop till he gets it in front of him. People are so…ugh. Social media, with algorithms anonymity I’ve made it so people must find something to be pissed off about. I’m so sorry. Here is my boy sleeping at a funny angle to make you smile.
