Happy 6th birthday, Nora! #catsky #catsofbluesky

A black and white cat curled up on her side on a couch, with her back resting against her person's thigh.

A black and white cat loafing on top of a pillow, looking extremely alert. The top of a brown tabby cat's head is just visible over her back, and the tabby tail is curled around over her front feet.

A black and white cat in a yellow harness crouched on some grass, staring off to the side.

Sorry, cat tax, cat tax. #catsky #catsofbluesky

A brown tabby cat and a black and white cat slapping each other, while laying and standing on some fabric I want to cut.

Today was already sub-optimal.

Ok, that was a tough one. Nearly bailed and took transit home twice on the way there, but pushed through. 3 more pools down, probably almost 5 hours of riding. Very little actual swimming. Some cool views. #bikesky #bikeTO

Won yarn chicken by this much. #knitsky #knitting

Went out on a nice long bike ride today go swimming and on the way back I saw a deer and two cool birds. And also the Finch LRT. #bikeTO

One mad dash to Book City later... Suspicious cats are suspicious. #booksky @nataliezed.bsky.social

Two books are laid out on a blanket. They are Hench and Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. Above them is a small black and white cat, curled up, looking at the books.

The same books are presented. The black and white cat is sitting, looking just past the books. A large brown tabby cat is standing on one book and sniffing the other.

Cat time. #catsky #catsofbluesky

Two cats on a couch. One is a black and white cat in a doughnut shape, asleep. The other is a brown tabby with white in a loaf shape. Her eyes are closed and she looks relaxed.

First ever darning job. Not the best, but it does the job.

Close up of a white gauzy cardigan with a design of black ginko leaves. In the middle, there is a section of white embroidery thread, woven into a patch. It's brighter than the rest of the fabric and not gauzy.

Sara Cowan@saracowan· May 14

You want us to believe this is real?

Close up of the "cat's" face. The right eye is way bigger than the left and appears rotated 90 degrees. The nose is angled off to the left. There are no teeth.

Graph crimes.

Image of a graph of Kevin Gausman's average fastball velocity by inning this season. It looks like the best velocities are the 3rd to 6th innings. For some reason, the 3rd inning (93.2) is higher than the 2nd inning (also 92.3) 1st (93.5) and 6th (93.8).

As seen on reddit. #BlueJays #MLB

A post on reddit says "Now I'm trying to imagine what would happen if you dumped ice water on Max Scherzer."

The reply to that post is an image of Saruman from Lord of the Rings with the caption "So you have chosen... death."

First attempt at colourwork socks. #knitsky #knitting #catsky

Impulse bought these two skeins of bulky weight yarn by Wild Woolly's and am struggling to decide what to do with them.

Two skeins of yarn that have sections of blues, greens, cream, and yellow

Blocking my jumbo leaflette scarf and accompanying headband. Going pin-free because there's nowhere in my apartment to do this that cats cannot access. #knitsky #knitting #blocking #catsky #catsofbluesky

Part of a golden scarf with leaves knitted into it.

Worst hunter ever. Nora walked by a large spider walking around and didn't even notice. #catsky #catsofbluesky

Close-up of a black and white cat, curled up on her side.

Much better with the blue heel, even though it was a pain and I have a bunch of ends to weave in. #knitsky #knitting

A knitted sock in progress. It has blue, green, and white stripes. The heel is fully blue.

Yes. From above. #catsky

Of course it's going to overtime. Freya is not enjoying this stressful nonsense. #Olympics #hockey #catsky #catsofbluesky
