He was actually trying to catch this little fella back when he was feral and didn't know that life inside had couches and blankies and unlimited snacks 😂

Boots, a long-haired brown tuxedo tabby with serious bed-head, lounges on a fuzzy pink blanket. He's stretched out and his mostly closed eyes look verrrrry sleeeeepy.

Hester Prynnecess is not mad, she's just VERY DISAPPOINTED in Sounders football. Very, very disappointed.

A closeup of Hester Prynnecess, a short-haired brown tabby cat with huge black pupils, a rosy little nose, and white chin. She has a disgusted and disappointed look on her pretty face.

Oh no. Hester Prynnecess wanted to say hi. So, hi again, Jorts!

Hester Prynnecess, a lil brown tabby cat with wide green eyes and a wee nose, sits on a cream carpet with brightly colored splotches and looks up with a slightly reproachful look, as if she was offended that she didn't get to greet one of her favorite orange cats.

Caturday in the catio, the sun is shining... and both of these little dorkos are staring into the house instead of toward the birds and floofy neighbor dog.

Two cats stare inside the house from their outside-facing catio. Hester Prynnecess, a short-haired brown tabby cat with green eyes and a bejeweled collar, is on the top level, while Boots, a fluffy long-haired brown and white tuxedo tabby, is on the lower level and looking through the screened door flap. Behind them is a turquoise fence and big trees that are home to many birds and squirrels.

A celebratory purple poppy mallow blossom, for no particular reason other than finding beauty in a world trying to heal itself.

A lilac-colored poppy blossom with large, delicate petals surrounding a round yellow center that looks like a piped blob of butter that you get when you order pancakes at a diner. The blossom is in focus in front of lots of green tomato plants.

Caturday, Hester Prynnecess at her Prynnecessiest edition

A close up of a sweet little brown tabby cat with big green eyes and a tiny pink nose. She is wearing a bejeweled collar and has a wide-eyed, angelic expression.

She looks so much like our hefty lil fella, too!

A chonky brown and white tuxedo tabby with long, fluffy fur looks out expectantly from his favorite ikea bag, as if he'd like to go shopping for flat pack furniture and play with the resulting boxes.

Somebody got so high on the 'nip (the rainbow toy just out of her reach is packed with yeow! catnip) that she struggled to actually get up on her chair for what seemed like minutes. But... isn't this the cutest lil cat butt you've ever seen?

a view of tabby cat Hester Prynnecess's backside, as she stretches up to a catnip-filled rainbow toy lying just beyond her reach on her fuzzy blankie atop a mustard-yellow armchair. She seems to have forgotten how to jump up, and her tail is a little poofy with excitement. If you could see her face, you would see that her eyes were huge and extremely dilated.

Happy Caturday from the most spoiled former feral kitties on the planet!

Hester Prynnecess, a tan and grey/black tabby cat with big green eyes and a bejeweled collar, sits proudly in the entrance of her giant, gift-wrapped cave box. Boots, a fluffy tuxedo tabby with a striking white streak up his nose lurks in the background. There are several new cat toys on the floor.

We have a new side dish for Thanksgiving this year! Spicy Penelope-stuffed citrus.

A beautiful dilute tortie cat with big green eyes sits comfortably on a fuzzy blanket. A soft donut-shaped pillow collar, which looks like a fluffy slice of a cartoon orange, is around her neck. The orange background really makes her green eyes pop.

This is Iggy, my right-hand lil man. It was just the two of us for a long time, and we were tight. He was obsessed with drinking from the bathroom faucet, liked to go out on adventures in his harness, and was thrilled when he was allowed to "steal" butter when his kidney disease reached end stage.

Iggy, a tan and grey tabby cat with huge green eyes and epic white whiskers, sits proudly in a large cardboard box that has "thank you! (Heart emoji)" printed on the front flap. He looks like he needs a treat.

True! And sometimes both! Here is our trash can baby turned beloved snuggle baby.

A curious, thin, slightly scraggly tan and grey tabby looks at the camera with soft brown eyes. She is standing on a rock in front of some ferns.

The same cat, now well-fed and snuggled up on a blanket-covered lap, stares at the camera with her head tilted slightly, as if to say, "i am adorable." Her eyes have turned from light brown to green. Her wee terracotta nose is very boopable.

Shann Sparkles@sparkle-sea· Oct 17

She even brought her feral frenemy, our sweet fluff-brained Boots. These two brighten every day in our house.

The handsomest and very filthy fluffy tuxedo tabby feral boy you've ever seen, deciding he just might be able to trust the human who has fed him and brought his friend Hester inside.

Celebrating #NationalFeralCatDay today and all days! Hester Prynnecess is my beloved little baby now, and has come such a long way. To be loved is to be changed.

A tiny tabby cat peers fiercely from her defensive fortress of tree branches and ferns

Anyone else getting weirdo text threats? I mean, I get all the whiny, begging texts from dems, too, but they generally aren't all, "nice life you got there. Shame if something happened to it."

Just Blueskyin' over here, expressing gratitude for unions and growing pretty flowers on this Labor Day. (First time growing Cosmos, and will be planting these forever more.)

A cosmos flower blossom close-up, showing off its slightly ruffled petals in a beautiful variegated bright orange color and spiky yellow filaments.

Very handsome, slightly stoned, long-haired brown and white tuxedo tabby cat with a little freckle on his pink nose stares at the camera like his tiny little brain has been blown. Airshow noises are scary for him, but he is being brave today.

No AI needed here, just a perfect floofy boy, listening to birds and thinking about murder. 🐦

A handsome long-haired brown and white tuxedo tabby cat sits on a windowsill in the shade of a tree on a sunny day. He looks at the camera like you just interrupted him doing something important, but if there are treats involved, he won't be mad.

This cat is waaay smarter than people who support sex pest politicians.

A green-eyed, grey/black/tan tabby cat with a wee terracotta nose looks up from her open book, as if annoyed that someone interrupted her sustained silent reading session.

Who could say no to eating The Child on May 4??

A round, cream cheese-frosted cake decorated with sliced strawberries around the edge, and a third-rate Grogu made with decorative icing. His ears are pale pink on the inside.

Hester Prynnecess reminds you that trans people are human people, and human people should have (almost) as many rights as cats.

A beautiful small brown, tan, and black tabby cat with a terracotta nose, jade-green eyes, and a purple collar is curled up on a fuzzy green blanket and leans against a pillow with a fuzzy rainbow of trees

Hester Prynnecess dares you to move. (I wouldn't, if I were you.)
