The Curious Case of the D.C. Demon Cat 🐈⬛ This piece is inspired by a true story of a ghost cat that was said to haunt the White House and U.S. Capitol Building. The sightings started in the mid-1800s and continued through the 1940s, often occurring before a major event or tragedy.

Fur Wray, 2025 🎥 Only a matter of time before I added Fay Wray, the original "Scream Queen," to my Glamour Puss series of old Hollywood stars. Wray has over 100 credits to her name, and is most remembered today for her role as Ann Darrow in the 1933 classic, King Kong.

The Strawberry Moon, 2025 🍓 The lowest of the full moons (barely) rises in the sky overnight tonight, and while the strawberry name has nothing to do with the color of the moon I couldn't help myself making this one slightly pink.

Cheeto Doesn't Think It's All that Grand, 2025 🌵 I guess it's all a matter of perspective. If you're a tiny human, it's a truly massive awe inspiring natural wonder, if you're a gigantic cat it's probably just another hole in the ground.

CAUTION: ORANGE CAT ENERGY AHEAD, 2025 ⚠️ I've never had the pleasure of living with an orange cat, but I've met a few in my day and seen plenty of videos. OCE is real! If you have any funny orange cat energy stories I'd love to hear them.

Lazy Dayz 💤 Happy Friday! Tomorrow is the weekend! Weekends are the perfect time to relax... or work, clean, organize, do laundry, pay bills, call the family, do yard work, wash the car, grocery shop, get your life together, figure out your purpose, save the world... but mainly relax.
