My #Cats like playing soccer with chocolate chip cookies they breakout of a box in the kitchen, which seems to be mainly a seasonal thing. Yours?
A random chocolate chip cookie lying on the hardwood floor next to a rug...if you look closely, there's kitty bite marks on the cookie.

Late to the party, but #WhiskersWednesday vibes from my beauty Evie-Boots
A headshot of a beautiful tuxi girl facing forward and showing her white whiskers - and her cute pink nose.

I feel like I'm being watched. What are your kitties doing? #Cats #Cat #CatsOfBluesky #PreCaturdayDay
Two kitties staring forward. A black one with a white cravate is on top of a legal bookcase. A tuxi is sitting on a footstool to the right. There's an upholstered chair and a bright floor lamp between them.

Hawk is super ready for Halloween. #Cats #BlackCats #Halloween🎃
Side view of a midnight black cat sitting atop a beige sofa. His tail is snuggled up alongside him. The backlighting on the wall behind makes him look extra spooky.

@saskajanet.bsky.social @davepalmerusask.bsky.social Ah, it's #Caturday and no pics yet of our cuzes? Please send!
Hawk, a black kitty, and Evie-Boots, a tuxi, are facing the camera and looking longingly for their cousins to make an appearance on #Caturday.

Found this one on the screen door this aft. Stink bug? Front right leg looks a bid odd?
Possible stink bug on a door screen.

The kitties are taking getting ready for #Caturday very seriously.
Two kitties are lounging atop a beige sofa and a red blanket, with sunshine coming through the windows behind them. The black cat on the left is stretched out facing left and one of his rear legs and tail hanging forward. The tuxi kitty on the right is doing more of a loaf, with her head closeby her brother.

@michaeljklein.bsky.social Boots and Hawk have been chasing real or imagined bugs for the past long while. Total craziness! How's Whiskers doing? How's his head? His stripes and beans?

Big news to share: Hawk is 3 today! The most handsome boy.
Hawk, a long black cat with a white cravate (which he isn't showing) and bright green eyes (which he is showing) is lounging in a sunbeam on the top of a deep fuzzy blanket and a beige sofa. He's three today!

Happy #CanadaDay and #ElbowsUp

'Tis a tad hot. What's it like where you are? If you're experiencing this crazy heat and humidity, be sure to take extra super duper care of your kitties and other pets and check in on elderly neighbours. #HeatWave
Thermometer showing it's 36.5 degrees outside and 22.9 inside (thank you to air con).

My father loved peonies. Thinking of you especially today, Dad. I miss you. #FathersDay #Fathers #Dads #Father #Dad #Flowers
Three deep magenta coloured peonies in full bloom.

OK. Ok. I believe. But it's still hard to understand the behaviors. Especially the turkey culture.

Video (and audio) of the incident. A moment later a crow swooped in and flushed the vulture off over the river.

With light white centres. View from the back deck looking out to the garden There are a few pots and hanging baskets on the deck, and a birdbath off in the shade cardinal below.

A #CatPuddle is a ray of 🌞 on yet another cold, wet and dark May day in #YOW. #Caturday
Evie-Boots and Hawk have their heads side by side as they face forward snuggling on an upholstered blue chair. A few paws and Hawk's tail are entwined.

And Evie-Boots has FINALLY discovered the new carrier. Great way to celebrate #VictoriaDay 🇨🇦 #Cats
A new soft-sided cat carrier is on a hardwood floor. The open end is facing forward. A tiny tuxi girl is peering out.

Hawk has discovered a new way to celebrate #Caturday #Cats
A black panther is hanging out in the new soft carrier carrier case intended to "encourage" his anxious sister to calm down and agree to visit the vet for her annual checkup. She's gone AWOL.

Hawk is hoping you're enjoying #Caturday #Easter #Cats. He seems to be more regal than usual. 🌷🐰😻
Hawk, a black panther with a little white cravate, is sitting very regally on a dining room chair facing forward with a slight nod to his right to celebrate #Caturday
