#caturday Tristan sometimes looks like he's thoroughly over all the kid chaos in this house.
I only know of 1 way that an entire civilization of 90 million ppl can "die" in a single night. He's not merely threatening a genocide which, of course, would be horrendous enough; He's threatening nuclear war. He has to go. Now. NOW.
Happy #caturday from Tristan. Is life stressing you out? He recommends that you pet the cat. But, then again, that & "fill the dish" are what he always thinks should happen.
"I think @marcelias.bsky.social might be onto something when he said that one of the reasons they invaded Venezuela is, bc they're going to coerce the kidnapped President or subordinated Vice President into saying that Venezuela did help rig the 2020 election against Trump."
A sad one for #caturday this week. This is Hobbes. Hobby is the reason my nephew is named Calvin & one of the biggest reasons my 7-year old daughter loves kitties so much. Hobbes loved everyone & was always on a lap. He passed away this past week & we will miss him so much. Goodnight, Sweet Prince.
Sorry we're late for #caturday. Here's Toby & Tristan staring at me while I drink my coffee. They know that when I stand up & take my mug to the sink, that's when I fill their dishes. So, I always have an audience. (Toby in front, Tristan behind.)
Happy #Caturday from Tristan, who thinks the laundry room floor is the purrfect place to lay.
Mom, you're cleaning your room? You're organizing stuff into bins & piles on the bed? We'll help! Happy #Caturday to you & all your little helpers from Toby & Tristan.
For #Caturday, here are my parents' cats, Ada & Cow. They weren't so sure about each other at 1st, but 10 years later, they're inseparable.
Mom, why did you bring these outside things inside? They don't belong here. I'll swat them until they go away. #caturday
I thought that was Pam Bondi at first. Did they clone her? One Pam Bondi is already too many. We don't need another.
Toby & Tristan telling us that we're not allowed to go on vacation. #Caturday
My daughter wanted to share this picture of her Uncle's cat, Hobbes, for #caturday. He is a very cuddly fluffball & he's very patient with little visiting nieces. She & my brother added a very stately Ai hat to this photo.
Every time I wash our bedding, this guy excitedly comes up to lay on the bare mattress. Usually, I don't even get the fitted sheet fully off before he's up on the bed staking out his spot. I don't understand it, but, man, he looks happy.
Happy #Caturday This is my Dad's cat, Cow. For 12 years, Dad has been fighting a battle to keep Cow off the dining room table...& for 12 years, he's been losing that battle.
Wow. Smudge looks an awful lot like my Dad's cat, Cow. (Cow looks angry in this photo, but he's really very sweet.)
#Caturday Five years ago, we took our daughter to the shelter to pick out A cat. We ended up adopting this pair of brothers, bc they were a bonded pair & the shelter lady did not want them separated. I'm so glad she talked us into it, bc they're both wonderful & they're so happy together.
#Caturday This is Toby. Toby is very sweet, but he is also a sentinel. He's never far from our kids...guarding, keeping watch. (Well, unless it's time to eat. Even guard cats need food.) 😻😺😸
Cat break This is Tristan. He's a good boy. His hobbies include purring, sleeping on laps, & turning guests who don't like cats into cat people.
