Mel & Niko & Luka 🐈 💙 🌈 @melsie74.bsky.social · Nov 10
Sharing cute and funny pics of my fur babies....this is Niko. My husband always manages to take unflattering photos of my cute boy!
Chubby orange cat sitting upright as if he was sitting on a chair, with a confused look on his face.

Luka was not happy she was asked to wake up so the bed could be made! 😆 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, is shown lying in bed with her head on a blue pillow. Her front legs are relaxed and the back part of her body is covered with a gray plaid blanket with stripes of burgundy. Her ears are tall but her eyes are slightly narrowed as she protests being asked to wake up so the bed could be made.

Niko's big yawn before drifting off to dreamland 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Niko, a handsome orange tabby boy with a white chin and whiskers, is shown near to the camera. He is laying on his side on a dark blue bedsheet and just one front leg and his face are visible. He is yawning, and in the low light of the room his white whiskers really stand out above his wide open mouth. Very shortly after the photo was taken, he fell into a peaceful slumber.

Luka during a game of Connect Four. The opened box was a perfect cat bed! 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, lays on an upside down box top for a Connect Four game. She is in the box on top of the kitchen table. A Connect Four board is mid screen, and the game participants (hubby and younger son) are mostly out of frame. Luka is looking in the general direction of the camera, her expression confident and her ears tall. One eye is wide open and the other is partly closed, as if she was reacting to a game move she didn't agree with!

Luka and Niko watching leaves fall from the trees 🍂 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, lays on the top of a light brown sofa in front of a large window. Her feet are tucked beneath her body in perfect kitty loaf position. She turned her head toward momma taking her picture. Behind Luka but at the same level on a cat tree is handsome orange brother Niko, slightly out of focus. He is intently looking out the window and watching leaves flutter to the ground.

Luka, Guardian of the Laundry Basket 🐈

Please stay safe out there today ❤️

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, is seen from above as she sits inside a laundry basket. She is adding fresh kitty hair to the clean folded laundry inside. Gold eyes are wide and shimmery and ears tall. Little pink nose is lined with black and simply adorable. Her long white whiskers match nicely with the white patch of fur on her chest. Somehow she is adorable and devious at the same time.

Niko is nervous about the Brewer game today. He is going to stay in bed until it's over but he will keep his paws crossed for a win! 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
#Brewers
Niko, a handsome orange tabby boy with a white chin and whiskers, lays on his side on a navy blue bedsheet. One paw stretches toward the camera, his other paw is held up and slightly bent. His eyes are wide but dark as pic was taken in a room with low light. His ears are tall and his white whiskers really stand out. This is his plan for the Brewer game - hide in bed. If he hears cheering from the family room he may venture out, if he hears groans he will stay put. Momma will probably join Niko during the game and use the same strategy!

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, lays on her side on a light green carpet. One front paw is lifted and curled, the other touches the floor. She looks into the camera with wide eyes. Her belly shows and her back legs are relaxed. She has an official Brewers cat toy (a beer bottle with the glove logo) that Nick bought her at American Family Field. She will cross her paws later for a Brewers win!

Niko, a handsome orange tabby boy with a white chin and whiskers, sits upright near to the camera. His wide golden eyes appear to be slightly different in color due to the lighting. His ears are tall, perfect pink nose is adorable, and his whiskers are long and full. In the background which is slightly out of focus you see a TV armoire, a cat barn, and part of the kitchen.

A tall laundry basket sat in the kitchen, with a freshly laundered folded blanket on top. Luka decided to sit on the blanket so Nick would have fresh cat hair for his apartment! 🐈 😆

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, lays atop a thick folded gray blanket. Her front paws are tucked under her body. Her green eyes are wide and her ears tall, whiskers delicately hanging from her pretty face. She is adding fresh cat hair to the clean blanket. In the background which is slightly blurry you see a green sweatshirt hanging on the wall, a key rack and closet doors.

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Niko, a handsome orange tabby boy with a white chin and whiskers, is sitting on a brown loveseat. He is sitting vaguely human-like, his head upright against the back of the loveseat. He looks directly at the camera with a somewhat bewildered expression. His belly fur is on full display, one front leg hangs down along his back and the other is to the side bracing his body. His back legs and tail extend to the bottom of the frame.

Luka would like to share her Best Cat trophy for Caturday! 🐈

(Really, it's a trophy for hubby's fantasy football league that she had to inspect 🤣).

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, is on the kitchen table, walking toward the camera, one paw forward. Her eyes gaze up, her whiskers full and beautiful. She is walking in front of a standard football trophy -- a gold vase with a running football player holding a football at the top. The trophy stands on a square black base with gold name plates. Over the name plate area, written in blue letters on the picture, it says "Best Cat".

Niko, a handsome orange tabby boy with a white chin and whiskers, sits looking directly into the camera. His eyes are open and gold; his ears are slightly tilted. He has a sly smile. His orange and cream coloring is striking. One front paw is curled under and the other lays straight, tail curled along his body on same side. The background is out of focus with a TV armoire to one side and a red checkered blanket and a window with daylight and green tree branches to his other side.

Luka says "don't balance the checkbook, pay attention to me!" 🤣 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, is sitting nearly on top of a closed green checkbook with a pen sticking out of it. Her tail is curled around her body and crosses over the checkbook. On top of the dining table. Her eyes convey the message that attention should be given to her and not household accounting tasks. A coffee mug and a pair of headphones are also on the table top.

Who is the prettiest tabby girl? Luka raised her paw and said "it's me!!" 🐈

#CatsOfBlueSky
#Caturday
Luka, a petite brown tabby girl with a white chin and whiskers, lays sideways on a window sill. She is bracing herself to fit on the sill by holding a (just out of frame) cat tree with her back claws. You see her belly. One front paw is raised above her head as if raising a hand in class. The other front paw is stretched toward the camera. The view behind her looking out the window is all green tree leaves.

In the background is the base of a cat scratching post and the base of a lamp.
