Expect cats, crafts, creative anachronism, queerness, and kvetching. Not necessarily in that order.

Someone disapproves of being thwarted from dashing outside.

#CatsOfBluesky
A black cat is sitting just inside a doorway on white tile. The cat is pretending to sniff at the doorway, ears back, as if he did not just try to dash out of the house and was not just stopped in his attempt.

Ok, so I'm occasionally not great at this 'posting every day' thing. Have some dangly peets.

3D printer playtime!! Today was testing merging two designs. This is my aesthetic: functional, whimsical, and if at all possible, batsical. 4 hours ago, this combo design didn't exist except in my brain. Now it does. Magic!!

Countdown Day 1431 Cat crimes: late night burglary edition. One of the boys figured out how to open the gate to the pantry/project staging/recycling staging/general chaos room where the door has to stay open for Reasons.Getting into the food for the ferals and the recycling.
Crimes

#CatsOfBluesky
We are looking through the doorway of a door with baby gates on it. The bottom gate is suspiciously open. Through the gate, a black cat messes with an (empty, although you can't tell from the picture) cat food can in a cluttered room. A grey cat sticks his thieving little face into a giant green cat food bag, amidst cardboard recycling chaos on the left and a wire rack of stable pantry food on the right, with a bit of plastic recycling chaos at the front of the picture.
