Happy Caturday to all who celebrate, especially her Royal Floofiness, Princess Cassie Marie Growltiger. She recommends multiple naps for all, with snacks and pouncing on kick sticks, followed by head bopping of her brothers. #caturday #BlueSkyCats #adoptdontshop #BlueSkyTabbies
Greetings to all from a dilute calico, greeneyed Princess Cassie Marie Growltiger, reclining on her quilt and accepting worshipping.

Herby and I are hitting the bottle of Perrier pretty hard while watching Stranger Things. He is obsessed by the bubbles he can see. #blueskycats #tabbiesofBlueSky
A shiny tabby cat hugging a bottle of lime Perrier while in his human’s lap. He just wants to know what the bubbles are.

It still being Inbetwixtmas, I thought I'd wind some yarn for some new projects. My bad tabby helper wanted to lend a paw or four, and when I put him down for the 7th time... he jumped on my shoulder. #Blueskycats #helpfulcatishelpful #catsofbluesky #rescuecats #knitting4kittens
A tabby cat thinks he's helping by rolling around in the yarn skeins while his human winds one into a cake. Human put tabby kitty down 6 times off the yarn winding table, then he jumped on human's shoulder, who was trying to hold him, protect the yarn, take a photo and not laugh too much. Out of focus but still hilarious.

As we savour Inbetwitchmas, it's been lovely to take a break from social media and savour books instead. The cats are all relaxing too, not posing today. Just frost on my door and prism reflectors, including a stretching kitty. Peaceful week to all.
Sunlight from an early morning hit the frost flowers on my door, including all around the prismatic reflectors made by a small local business.

Nobody does #whiskerswednesday like the Long Cool Loki in a Black Tux does. His favourite morning ritual is to climb into my lap while I'm working or reading, and lay there purring his face off. #BlueSkyCats #rescueisthebestbreed #tuxedocats #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop
An elegant tuxedo cat is curled up in his human's lap, his impressive white whiskers on display. He's also purring to beat the band.

I have my favourite Christmas music, which may not be to most people's tastes, but this Greg Lake song is in my top 3. Still brings me chills after so many years.

It was baking day for me today, while these three kept my chair warm til I was ready to flop with them. I made ginger cookies, cranberry orange loaf, date nut loaf, and that was enough for today. #bakingwithcats #BlueSkyCats #helpfulcats #blueskyrescuecats
Three kitties in a chair; a ginger tuxedo, a tabby, and a black tuxedo who is asleep and deaf (the senior of the house at 16) so he didn't realize I was there.

Box of gifts arrived from son & daughter in law. Herby approves of the Grinchmas paper & suddenly weighs 143 pounds when I try to move him. #blueskycats #caturday #adoptdontshop #rescueisthebestbreed #grinchmas #cats
A bright eyed tabby lays on top of Christmas presents wrapped in Grinchmas paper. His orange tuxedo brother sniffs the box for possible dragons.

Good thing I have a tabby assistant to help with wrapping, etc. I'd never get it all done without him in the middle of the action. When I try to move him, I swear he gains 150 pounds & is almost impossible to shift.

A bright green eyed tabby lays in the middle of the wrapping festivities. In front of him is a green pottery mug, and a bitter orange soy candle, both locally made gifts for family.

I sense shenanigans are going to happen momentarily. Herby is laying where Cassie Marie Growltiger also wishes to sleep. Decorating will resume when all is calm.

Looks like the calm before a storm, as a bad tabby-cat is curled up looking innocent while his dilute calico sister is irked because she wants to sleep there. Any attempts to do some Christmas decor have been paused til they resolve this and go somewhere else to sleep.

How lovely! I can smell those in my head, and the coffee is very good this morning.

The dark months are upon us, although on sunny days with snow down, they are wondrous. Lots of botanical themed items in my house, including this locally-made sunflower beeswax candle. I may not burn it for years, it's so lovely. #gardenSky #gardeningFeed #gardening #bloomscrolling
Photo is of a locally made beeswax pillar candle with sunflowers carved into it (or carved in the mould the wax was poured into, more likely.

Happy snowy Monday (Nova Scotia, or parts of it). Heavy snow in the Valley, so I had grinchmas kisses for dessert. Sandy was briefly interested in them, while I was vastly amused by them. #blueskycats #rescuecats #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #grinchmaschocolates
Very handsome orange and white kitty sitting on an orange-print quilt, with something odd in the foreground. What can those be? Pretty orange cat isn't interested in the Hersheys Grinchmas chocolates, but his human finds them vastly amusing. One says Stink Stank Stunk, one says 'You're a mean one", the middle one is the Grinch's face, and the little papers in the chocolates say Grinchmas.Yes, the human is easily amused.

This blurry little rascal is why i don't put up a big Christmas tree anymore. He's never seen one and he would be at the top of it! He's blurry because he was fixing to attack the yarn skeins... #sundaywithcats #blueskycats #rescueismyfavouritebreed #adoptdontshop #tabbiesofBlueSky
Photo shows a somewhat blurry tabby cat, blurry because he is planning to attack the two skeins of multicoloured, custom dyed yarn I bought yesterday in Mahone Bay for my cat rescue fundraising. Delivering some mittens and hats to a local shop this morning.

Happy Caturday from my herd. I do knitting for cat rescues, mostly Newfoundland style hats & mittens. I have a load to take to a rescue down Yarmouth, NS way, and was winding yarn while Herby 'helped'. He approves of my work. #myfavouritebreedisrescue #adoptdontshop #blueskycats
My bad tabby kitty is sprawled on the table where I wind yarn. He makes it challenging. Beside him is a multi-wood, stand alone swift, which holds the skein while I wind it. Bad tabby cat approving a few patterned wool hats in many colours and different designs, for a cat rescue. Standalone swift holding a skein of custom-dyed wool yarn, ready to be wound into a cake or puck.

Good morning & happy #thursdaypurrsday. Also happy Thanksgiving to our US friends. More of yesterday's funloving pair battling for bed supremacy. #blueskycats #adoptdontshop #myfavouritebreedisrescue #cats
Dueling fierce kitties, one pale ginger tuxedo and one pastel calico. They are best buddies but don't always want to share this bed.

Today is not so much #whiskerswednesday as #furflyingday. Cassie Marie Growltiger, the floofy calico, was laying in her throne bed when Sandy Goldeneyes Fraidycat arrived, wanting to cuddle. Shenanigans ensued. #rescueisthebestbreed #Blueskycats #adoptdontshop #catsarebetterthanmostpeople

You know how it is when you're just so busy with all the things, you think the garden has packed it in, then you realize there is still a surprise out there. Wallflowers, still valiantly blooming in their multihued glory. #gardenSky #gardenFeed #bloomscrolling #gardens
A cluster of multicolour wallflowers (Erysimum, variety forgotten) today, 25 November in Nova Scotia. Flowers are rust, pink, gold, bronze and still fragrant.

Some may remember 12 days ago I posted a flower of David Austin 'Crocus' rose, blooming away. Here is a new flower, with my watch to verify that it is Wednesday 19 Nov in Nova Scotia. Still three buds to open, whether they will or not who knows! #gardensky #bloomscrolling #wednesdayroses
Photo of an Apple Watch showing today's date and previous time, Nova Scotia, and Crocus rose with yet another flower. Still several to come, too. Photo (slightly blurry as sun was dropping) of the golden Crocus rose, fully open and fragrant. And determined. Always blooms into November but this is the latest yet, I think.

We are a couple of days late, but happy Gotchaversary to Herby Bells the badass tabby & Sandy Goldeneyes Fraidycat. Went to Sussex, NB two years ago & brought them home to Nova Scotia. Joyful creatures, them & me. #blueskycats #adoptdontshop #catsofbluesky #rescueisthebestbreed
Photo is of a young tabby cat and a slightly older pale ginger tuxedo, laying on a rainbow, felted cat cave in their new home, two years ago this week. #rescueisthebestbreed
