Lizzie is 11 today! We've only had her in our lives just over a year, but me and this grumpy old girl needed each other so badly, we're not taking a single day for granted. #Cats #BlueSkyCats 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈🐱

The dogs have chosen today to teach me the dangers of a chair on wheels. Wrestling behind me = chair being pushed/yanked back & forth, coffee spills, & a slightly motion-sick editor who hasn't even left her desk. Here are their outdoor blurry play/running pics for effect 🫠 🐶🐕🐾 #BlueSkyDogs

Two blurs of motion originated from a large black dog and large yellow dog playing tag in a backyard against a privacy fence backdrop

Our Kona is still being treated for #FIP, and we need to order new meds this week! If you're able to help/share in honor of #NationalBlackCatDay, it would be hugely appreciated. Every bit helps, things are so tight! #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats gofund.me/a98d0591d

Our Kona is walking around, circling us for food, & following his adopted sisters around! Halfway through his 85 days of meds & going strong! Funds have been stretched & stretched some more, but bills are incoming. Can you help him keep going strong? 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈 #Cats #CatsOfBlueSky gofund.me/4006e7f0

Our animals are in revolt. Guinness caught an iguana yesterday (both dog & lizard are fine) & now wants to live outside despite the extreme heat (we said no). Meanwhile, the kittens are parked in the kitchen demanding churus...cuz getting them w/ Kona's meds is no longer enough. 🙃 #Cats #Dogs

Two dogs perched staring out a foggy window, one yellow & sitting and the other black/brown and standing. A tuxedo cat is wrapped around the leg of the black-and-brown dog, trying to get him to play with her, but he's more interested in the wildlife outside (unseen in pic).

Kona & Guinness are less than impressed w/ the time I've spent at my desk for #WriteHive2025, but it's such a fantastic con, they'll have to be patient! #BlueSkyDogs #BlueSkyCats #Caturday And if you're able to help with sweet Kona's fight against FIP, as always: www.gofundme.com/f/help-kona-...

Little Kona could really use your help this #Caturday. He's battling #FIP, and finding the right combinations of meds has been a nightmare. Bills are piling up, & we need to order new meds soon. Please help if you can, & please share his campaign. #Cats #CatLovers #CatsOfBlueSky gofund.me/c139db91

Here's a real-time photo of my boss (one of them) taking a nap, thus allowing me to participate in #HorrorWritersChat. I'm a freelancer, so I report to Hart & my other felines. If turning monstrous, he howls for an early dinner and bats madly at my hands while I try to type. Claws out, fangs out.

Kona's new meds? $487 for a 15-day supply. If there's any way you can help with a small donation, please help. This kitten is my baby & means the world to us. We just have to get him better. #BlackCats #SPN #SPNFamily #RescueCats #Cats #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats www.gofundme.com/f/help-kona-...

A sweet black kitten sprawled on a Supernatural Blanket that's black with the red supernatural symbol on it. He's sick with FIP, but still loves showing off his claws and staring down the camera.

Wytwavedarling (she/her)@wytwavedarling· Jun 6

His favorite episode is, of course, "Dog Dean Afternoon" -- he may be a cat, but he loves his dog pals, Guinness and Charlie. (Yes, that is him, snuggled beside Guinness' giant head.)

Wytwavedarling (she/her)@wytwavedarling· Jun 6

Kona's still fighting #FIP & it's been a rough week. This #Supernatural blanket is his favorite thing, though. #SPNFamily, here's a smile! Fall in love w/ him like we have & help him keep going? Every bit helps! #SPN #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky #AlwaysKeepFighting www.gofundme.com/f/help-kona-...

Just $75 needed to get us to 3k & finish cost of covering Kona's June medical bills! (Or $275 if we get really hopeful & add in the cost of buying his meds later this month.) Can you help a #rescuecat in need? #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats #VoidCats #CatLovers 🐈‍⬛🐾 gofund.me/b06a9554

Our Gray had the best whiskers ever! We lost her when she was about 17, but if she were still here, she'd be asking you to help our Kona live a long life so his whiskers can be just as worthy! Help him fight #FIP? #WhiskersWednesday #Cats #CatsOfBlueSky #Rescues #RescueCats gofund.me/44fd6cf2

Wytwavedarling (she/her)@wytwavedarling· May 24

It's #Caturday, and our little Kona is still fighting the good fight against #FIP. This is how we were watching tv together last night, & we're just hoping you can help him keep going. New meds ordered as of yesterday! #Help #CatsOfBlueSky #CatLovers #BlueSkyCats #BlackCats gofund.me/533f2d05

Kona had more bloodwork today, but he's sleeping off the stress now. Maybe you could help ease the stress w/ a share/donation? Here he is w/ his big sis Charlie, reminding her she can't always be the center of attention. #BlueSkyCats #Cats #BlackCats #CatLovers 🐈‍⬛ 🐾 www.gofundme.com/f/help-kona-...

Wytwavedarling (she/her)@wytwavedarling· Mar 29

Kona jumped onto my desk for the first time in a month! In other words...the treatment is working! Please, if you can, donate, or at least share this message. Every donation is a huge help in this fight against #FIP! gofund.me/5eb1d372 #CatsOfBlueSky #Caturday #Cats #BlueSkyCats #BlackCats

Poor Guinness somehow strained his ankle (probably chasing rabbits or playing) and required a vet visit...but in return, he gained a milk mustache.

Close-up of our Guinness enjoying a pup cup from Starbucks and getting a mustache of cream as a result.

Guinness' goal is to eventually become long enough to claim the entire sectional for one nap. I'm starting to think he's capable... #Dogs

Funny. I'd dreaded rebuilding here post-bird-spiral. But re-finding mutuals here, re-connecting as fast as possible, and feeling the relief in the air... It feels pretty damned good. Thanks, @serpymatt.bsky.social, for bringing me in. Time to relax, maybe... #HorrorFamily #WritingCommunity

Wytwavedarling (she/her)@wytwavedarling· Aug 4

I'm here! And I promise to get active soon with pet posts and writing posts and all that. Consider my account a blue-sky work-in-progress for the moment, but say hi to Guinness while you're waiting for me to catch up.
