And so it begins.

The first domino falls, followed by the rest .

Scared me when I was a kid, still terrifies me today.

Saturn devouring his son . A mad god has partially consumed his son, and is shown holding the lifeless body while stuffing an arm into his mouth, his eyes wide and crazed .

Cyberblep cracks me up.

A cyberman with the ”teardrop” eyes but also with a “teardrop” mouth, which makes him look like he’s doing a blep, or is drooling .

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

A cartoon boy is riding on a cartoon sea serpent, and the words Beanie and Cecil are above them .

Harlan the mighty hunter hopes we all have a peaceful night.

A white-and-tabby cat with a sweetly gormless expression is looking up at the camera, a savaged toy squirrel on the floor beside him.

Joe hopes you all are as relaxed and happy as he is today.

Joe’s certain that the first step in helping me read my ebook is to position himself right under my chins, where the ebook goes.

Life is good

Fat grey kitty is happily resting, belly up and paws crossed, on the bed. He’s staring at the ceiling, contemplating the joys of his existence . No worries in his life .

Pterri is happy and smug in her high perch. She loves being taller than her people!

Small, bright-eyed black cat sitting in the highest perch of a cat tree, with legs and tail dangling casually over the side .

Just thinking of this classic, for no particular reason.

This was my sweet old boy, who I dearly miss. He was the best boy ever, and would come over to sit quietly for his insulin shots twice a day. We call this his "floating on clouds" pic. His name was Zaphod, and I still miss having him curl up with me at night.

A sweet, fat old tabby cat is happily sleeping belly up on a blue sheet covered with fluffy white clouds, looking like the kitty angel he was .

Joe tried pulling a privacy curtain around his hammock, but the paparazzi got him anyway.

Harlan has been up to mischief all day, so he’s tuckered out now.❤️

A photo of the indomitable Ruth Gordon, holding playing cards, wearing a straw bonnet with silk roses falling off it and bedecked in lots of beads, rings, and other sparkly things, with a cigarette holder clenched in her teeth as she shows us an impish grin .

It really does! We had one grey cat, Joe, who had serious emotional issues we were thinking might make him difficult with other cats, but had planned to take in one stray tabby/white mix from the front porch, with our fingers crossed. Then my brother found a tiny starving void, Pterri, so... 🤷

Harlan, a tabby with white belly and paws, belly up on the loveseat, sleeping happily . He's a very goofy, easy going little guy .

Tiny black kitty, Pterri, looking sweet and delicate . She has both boys under her little paw .

Big boy Joe has decided he really does like other kitties when those kitties are Pterri, although he's not as sure about Harlan . No fighting, but Joe does occasionally show his displeasure at having to share Pterri's playtime with Harlan .

Joe says “Goodnight, all!”

Mom and brother coming for lunch with us tomorrow. I’ve got Italian “beef” in crockpot (but made with a pork roast that was 1/3 the price of beef) and pulled a cherry-frangipane pie out of the oven. Made with Marie Callender crust, because my energy is low. Table is decluttered. Now I can rest!👍🏻

Three masked fellows have been causing a ruckus on our back porch roof after having a feast of kitty kibble outside. Harlan is slightly concerned they may break in and eat *his* kibble next.😆 One bold miscreant is certainly giving him the eye in return.

A curious but somewhat concerned young cat stares fixedly at a window, through which he sees the glowing eyes of a raccoon peering in, almost hidden by the night .

My cookie for the day’s done. 👍🏻

Was going to bed early, but perhaps I need to exercise caution, lest I be exterminated.

Shadow on the doorframe that looks suspiciously like a Dalek .

Harlan is a happy boy.

My Joe was a tiny feral. I invested 3 years of blood from deep bites & clawings, came so close to giving up at times. Now he's my heart-to-heart boy, a sweet goofy cat. I'm so glad I didn't give up on him, because I'm sure he'd have been put to sleep at the shelter the first time he bit someone.

Some simple fairy cakes to have with our coffee after supper.❤️

Something that jams the drawer when you try to open it.

It says “what is something every ‘junk drawer’ must have in order to be considered a ‘junk drawer’?” .

Action shot of a particularly goofy boy.

Slightly blurred picture due to twisting and turning of an upside down kitty who apparently didn’t care about showing his face but was happy to show off his fluffy tummy and balls .

This is the cross pendant I'd like to get. Think it'll save my ass from the camps, or just get me pressed with stones or drowned?
