outtake: dracula embarrassed by local teen wannabe

A black cat hides his face as he curls up in a black and red coffin-shaped kitty bed. In front of him, an orange and white tabby cat opens his jaws VERY WIDE to chomp a big carrot-shaped toy.

we got a new bed for our little dracula and he took to it right away :’)

this morning I did something I have told myself I would do for years: got up early and exercised/defragged outside before work. thrilled/devastated to report that it was really good, actually.

it’s hard out here rn. here are some pics of my cats to cushion the tumult. I love you, please survive 💕

Percy, an orange and white tabby cat, sits in a fabric storage cube. He is supervising my closet cleanout, so on either side of him are a green plastic laundry basket and a white trash bag of clothing donations. Behind him is my bright floral bedspread.

Jasper, a black cat, lounges in a sunspot, using a cardboard scratcher as his chaise-lounge.

Lila, a blue point Siamese cat, enjoys some chiaroscuro on a sunny day. She knows she is beautiful and isn’t giving away those blue eyes for free.

All three cats (clockwise from top: Lila, blue point Siamese; Jasper, black; Percy, orange tabby) lounge in the sunlight on our earth-toned rug.

yes I have to get up soooo so early for my new job but today I managed to give myself enough time to do the sun lamp, have a little coffee, and snuggle with my lil man ✨

A white woman with large brown glasses and dark hair in a buzz cut presses her face into the neck of a black cat. They are both illuminated by the glow of the sun lamp

Me: How did he bite just one zine?! Kit: He reads with his teeth. I don’t know. Likely culprit:

A long orange and white tabby cat gazes unrepentantly at the camera. He looks like he has recently consumed activist literature.

the perils of doing activism while owning cats, articulated by @criticalkit.bsky.social: “Ah … someone bit this zine.”

A small anti-ICE zine showing a picture of a whistle with a crowd raising fists below it. The zine reads, “FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD: PROTECT EACH OTHER.” The edge of the zine has two vampire tooth marks.

the boys are enjoying New Fireplace; however, Lila is affronted by the suggestion that she would snooze anywhere near Percy

A black cat and an orange and white tabby kitten doze in front of a fireplace.

A gray and cream blue point Siamese cat peers out of a cardboard box; just her eyes and ears are visible.

Percy takes after his mum and cannot resist the allure of a Trader Joe’s cooler bag

Hi hello have you seen my cats lately?? They are adjusting to their new home very well :)

Lila, a blue point Siamese, doing some carpet swimming on our soft brown hallway rug.

Three cats (an orange tabby, black shorthair, and blue point Siamese) gaze out the window at their new street.

Jasper, a black cat, perches atop a caramel-colored kitchen chair.

Percy, an orange and white tabby, crouches in a box he has been diligently stapling with his teeth.

I love all my cats equally and in different special ways but Jasper and I … we’ve got something else going on

A white woman with dark hair and glasses (me) holds a black cat (Jasper) to her chest. Her eyes are just visible over his back.

The same white woman holding a black cat in her arms and kissing between his ears.

The same white woman, sitting on a couch with the same black cat cradled to her chest for what we call “bosom time.” She is wearing headphones and kissing him on the side of the head.

The same woman with the same black cat in her lap. His green eyes are visible this time! He is right up in her face and she is smiling as she presses her nose into his fur.

hands-down the biggest surprise of adopting a kitten is how spectacularly Jasper, who bites, plays rough, and generally doesn’t know how to be a cat has risen to the occasion of being a very patient, gentle, much-kicked-in-the-head big brother.

Against the backdrop of our light-wood kitchen cabinets and black dishwasher, an adult black cat and an orange and white tabby kitten are wrestling. The kitten has the adult in a full-body Facehugger headlock.

for my chl heads

A page from the picture book “It’s Only Stanley” by Jon Agee. In the illustration, a woman sits up in bed, listening to her husband speak. He is standing by her side of the bed and wearing pajamas. Over his head is a speech bubble that has been visibly edited to say, “It’s only Lila printing printer diagnostics.” Behind the husband sits a gray cat who is looking straight at the reader in disbelief.

it’s been a weird week, folks! here’s some cats to ease your mind.

Jasper, a black cat, and Lila, a blue point Siamese, practically cuddling on an orange loveseat. A lavender blanket is heaped beside them and a multicolored earth-toned pillow is on their other side.

Jasper, a black cat with yellow-green eyes, lounges on a gray ottoman. Lila, a blue point Siamese, looks at the camera from the orange loveseat behind him.

Lila, a blue point Siamese, naps on my lap with a cozy lavender tasseled blanket.
