You've been hit by You've been struck by A

Do not let the innocent face fool you, this is indeed the fluff gremlin who tries to start a wrestling match with my foot at zero-fuckoff-thirty in the morning if I leave it sticking out from under the covers.

This little miscreant knocked over an electric fan late last night and jumpscared herself in the process.

And a lot of it is thanks to this ungovernable wee beastie, who always ensures that any time I come home late is time for Midnight Zoomies and that any mess from unfinished chores is an obstacle course for kitty parkour.

The perfect accessory for World Cup protest summer doesn't exi-

Mutual Aid Cat uses the food delivery backpack to redistribute some beans (by smacking the feet of anyone who walks by). 🫘

Word wrap doesn't seem to be working, apologies if you're already on that.

Personally, I think this would be fantastic on a bright purple background.

Saving this for future need, though I hope it never comes up. They're gonna have a similar experience when they ask who's in charge though... 😅

She looks how I feel.

PSA for all my @iatse.bsky.social kin: wear your union gear when you go to any hardware store. Even if you're wardrobe like me and only build stuff for fun, you'll get treated like you know what you're doing.

I'm still wondering why "we will find you and we will kill you" was in quotes. Because honestly, it just reminds me of this.

This little miscreant is honestly the least of my worries. And yes, she will do it again.

Today has been so fucking stupid but I made it through.

It's the time of the year when I cannot even pet her without a literal cloud of fluff flying off her, WHERE is it all coming from?! American Shorthair does not seem an adequate description.

I'm surprised my phone hasn't started predicting the alt text to all my photos starting with "a small calico cat." But really, look at this creature and her big stretch.

And may your cat not be under or on your ladder, since they have to be involved in everything.

I'm going to be vending at this on Saturday, so if you're in the area, come through and check out some excellent vendors.

I made SO MUCH pasta fagioli today and it got rave reviews from the folks at distro and @apiratecooksat404.bsky.social which is high praise. Got sent home with a tray of oatmeal and a jar of mango puree, so there's some Iron Chef bullshit about to happen this week.

It's all fun and games until a 40lb bag of cat litter angers your lower back, then it's naproxen and lacrosse balls and swearing. Worth it to keep this little gremlin happy? Absolutely.

Veggie omelet? distro'd. Earrings? Restocked. Hair? Cut. Cat? Cuddly.

And I have clearly done enough things right that this tiny creature trusts me enough to curl up in my lap purring like a little motor, that helps too.

There's also this situation.

If anyone wants to enable my 3D printing efforts, including some for good causes, I have a wish list. I appreciate variety and Chili appreciates having something to watch. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Despite getting in after 11 last night, I am not the one who woke up @apiratecooksat404.bsky.social . Shown: the culprit and the weapon. I had set it on a chair to clean the floor, and she pushed the entire thing off. If the crash hadn't woken my spouse, my helpless laughter would have.

Ours was a pineapple cat after her spay. She was the world's crankiest pineapple.
