Holiday family pics. Two new. Two throwback of me and the Queen of Beans. My babies are beautiful. Behold their "fearful symmetry" (Papa Coops loves it when you read him The Tyger)
Papa Cooper (Papa Coops). Old timer Tuxedo cat lounging. Dapper. Got a suit that make Sinatra look like a hobo (and he knew Frank personally). Black cat. Black tabby with secret tyger stripes (hidden) lounging in a sink like she owns the joint. Smoldering eyes. Grumpy face. She is a queen. Molly Shepard (aka Molly Beans). Baby Molly. Photo of a tiny all black cat in motion-blurred battle with a tiny mouse toy. Mid bunny kick action shot. Molly Queen of Beans. Tiny black cat perched on my shoulder like a Lenin statue looking to the future. Me looking scruffy, dumb, and quite proud of my baby squirrel.

Reina de los Freijoles. God save the queen (long may she reign). No monarchs but the queen (of toe beans).
Mirror selfie of an idiot and his magnificent cat on his back. All black. Looking haughty, having just skittered up onto my back (razors out) and plopping like she lives there.

Cooper hugs. Nothin is moving until grampa gets his hugs after work.
Scruffy dude nobody gives a fug about with an exquisite, enormous elder cat (black tuxedo) laying on him.

No Queen but Molly Beans (god save her, long may she reign).
Molly. Bible black house cat, paws out like the Sphinx. Haughty. Gorgeous. Blacker than black secret tiger stripes hidden in photo.

Tiger. Cooper. Papa Coops. 15 years of fearful symmetry.
Black cat. Tuxedo that make Sinatra look like a hobo. Elder statesman cat on a counter looking contemplative. Cat has a great deal of fearful symmetry.

The editorial staff of the Exile-verse hard at work not fixing my typos.
Two cats lounging on a memory foam divan. Both made of midnight. Both loafing comfortably. Kitten foreground. Old timer in a but shaped dent.

And sometimes cats.
Molly, Queen of Beans (god save the queen long may she reign). Black cat occupying personal space of her human and being magnificent.

Sometimes Molly sits with me when I write. I am unsure if I am allowed to perceive her when she does this (though the tail suggests her general mood and level of irritation with me at any given moment).
Molly, beautiful black cat, sitting shotgun next to a computer and her human. She drinks light. Absolutely exquisite feline.

Me and my embarrassment of riches. Papa Coops getting a smooch in the foreground. Molly and her beans napping behind.
Some stupid white boy nobody give a fuck about, but there's two magnificent cats in the pick. Resting panther in the background, toe beans showing. Elder cat giving headbutt smooches. Both cats bible black.

It's that eugenics/transhumanism fixation that western tech-bros have (Kurzweil and Moravec (and Theil the literafigurative vampire) that makes them fixate on that sound byte in the first place. Here's my favorite shitty 80's book where a cat says a 386 is about to digitize him immortal

Maybe she's born with it? (Maybe it's Molly Beans)
Molly. Black cat in the window barking (yes, barking) at her human. Reina de Los Frijoles. Molly, Queen of Beans. Long may she reign (god save the queen).

Molly the Lurking cat wishes you a good day (and reminds you to cease perceiving her...immediately).
Molly the tiny panther lurking in a cardboard box. Only the cat's face and eyes visible.

Papa Cooper (elder cat) was an absolute gentleman to the folks he encountered on the way to the doc to get some teeth removed. He is the gentleman Sinatra presented as to the public (and in case you forgot he knew frank...personally)
Papa Cooper. Elder cat. The Sinatra of cats. Black tuxedo cat lounging like he owns the place (because he does).

How it started. How it's going. My grampa is doin alright, but he's camera shy of late. Here's the lurker. The goblin. Reina de los Freijoles. Molly Shepard Cmdr. SSV Normandy. The queen. Long may she reign.
First pick of Molly the Goblin cat. Tiny black cat and the dumb ass who snatched her off the median of the road. Cat gripping the man's finger in her paws. She fit in the palm of my hand. Molly Beans 3 years later. Blacker than bible black cat resting on a coffee table by a coffee cup not half as black as she. Regal. Magnificent. Look of disdain in her orange eyes.

First Churu for both felines
Cooper left (grampa). Molly right (goblin). Two black cats eating their first Churu. "You can't hear an image." False. Contended purrs and that little smacky "om nom" chirp emanate from this pic.

It is International Tyger day. Papa Cooper sat for a portrait.
Elder black Tuxedo cat. Cooper. Papa Coops, silhouetted by faint backlight. Profile. Chin jutting toward a future only he can see and smell like a Lenin statue.

Papa Cooper. Elder tuxedo cat and gentlemen. Exquisite feline specimin lounging on a divan, front paws crossed. Rear turkey leg stretched. Sunset's honeyed light lands on him (just fuggin right).

I can drink coffee again and I'm in better shape than I have any right to be and Papa Cooper is pleased that I ain't goin' anywhere other than my 9 to 5.
Background: some stupid guy w a beard, no one gives a fuck about him. Foreground: the most majestic elder tuxedo cat in the history of Felines. Cooper. Papa Coops. He has a ton of fearful symmetry.

It was alllll a dreeeeeeam
Scruffy looking guy. Me. Trying to figure out why his shitty laptop camera makes everything look frosted like a shitty 1980's dream sequence.

The little found-cat goblin on the left keeps the old timer on the right young. It's awesome to get or find a fuzzy friend for your fuzzy friend.
Two black cats. Young dumpster blessing on the left. Elder tuxedo cat on the right in a tux that makes Sinatra look like a hobo (cat knew sinatra personally)

Cat fort. Molly goblin even uses it a lil bitty bit. I am also going to maintain commitment-to-bit with my baroque alt-text for all pics related to cats.
Cat fort consisting of a table covered with a cloth, a tapestry of some sort. From beneath the fabric and leading into/out of the IKEA coffee table there is a little rainbow play tunnel (coated in cat nip not seen in pic)

my absolute favorite picture of Molly, aka Molly Beans. Molly Shepard, Cmdr. SSV Normandy (if you aren't into brevity).
Molly, gorgeous bible-black house panther, sitting on my shoulder like a pirate's parrot.

My babies are fuckin beautiful. Two voids. Both are made of the black velvet of midnight.
Papa Cooper. Elder Tuxedo cat in a suit that make Sinatra look like a hobo (Yes, Cooper knew Frank). Molly Shepard, Commander SSV Normandy. Tiny black cat that is simultaneously small and extremely long. Allegedly has secret blacker than black stripes in a tabby pattern. Allegedly.

Found mine on the median of a road. She was hiding by the stop sign at a Michigan left. Happens, fam.
Molly (cat) in her youth. Bold gaze, jutting chin. Both aimed at the future. Tiny black kitten.
