I was eating some soup on the couch and she somehow bullied her way in beside me here and fell asleep. So I guess I can eat the soup later.
Photo of my torso reclining in blue and white striped silky pajamas. My fluffy white cat Francie is sound asleep smooshed up next to me under my arm.

Love that our vet has these posters framed in every exam room. Scratching is natural! There are many alternatives to declawing and no reason to do it unless it is medically necessary for the cat. 🐈‍⬛
Poster that reads Cats need to scratch and mark with their claws to: • Stretch their body. • Remove the worn layer of their nail. • Maintain necessary claw motion used in hunting and climbing. • Leave visible markers to establish their territory, especially if there is concern with other cats in the household or outdoors. Best practices: • Trim your cat's nails regularly. • Provide a variety of scratchers (i.e. tall, horizontal, or angled; sisal rope, carpet, cardboard, or wood). • Place scratchers near your cat's sleeping area; in front of their preferred, yet undesirable, scratching object (e.g. corner of couch). • Ensure ample cat environmental enrichment and resources (i.e. litter boxes, sleeping areas, food & water bowls, and perches all in multiple locations). • Do not use your fingers or toes, or the wiggling of hands or feet as a toy for play. This form of play can lead to biting or scratching, and as a cat grows they will accept it as an appropriate form of play. Instead, play can be stimulated with the use of interactive toys that mimic prey, such as a toy mouse that is pulled across a floor or feathers on a wand that is waved through the air. Important to keep in mind: • If your cat continues to scratch undesired objects, it may be due to stress, anxiety, attention seeking, or feeling unsafe in their environment. • Look for any problems between other cats or household members, which might make your cat feel anxious, threatened, or territorial. Signs of conflict are subtle. If your cats never groom one another, sleep or play together, intercat conflict is likely. • Reward your cat's positive scratching immediately. • Please speak with a veterinarian or behaviorist for individualized advice. For more detailed information, visit catfriendly.com/scratching The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) opposes elective declawing (onychectomy) of cats. Declawing entalls the amputation of a cat's third phalanx (P3), or third toe bone.

The tiniest frown. Ca. 1950s. ukiyo-e.org/image/arteli...
Woodblock print of a stylized, adorable frowny tabby kitten. It seems to be sitting in a round loaf position but looking over its shoulder disapprovingly at the viewer. It is rendered in bold and simple areas of color - white, light brown, and an interesting woodgrain textured black.

How dare you to be such a wonderful human being. Sending some cats over right now to make your day better.
Cat laying across my hand. Cat doing extensive leg stretching to lick her foot. Cat holds leg with one paw, and looks up to the ceiling as if there is something (Spoiler, there was nothing). Two cats sitting in a basket, the black cat on top of the white-tiger coloured one.

The Butterfly and the Cat. 1875. www.artnet.com/artists/lill...
Oil painting of a shorthaired calico cat that is crouched low to the ground, stalking with its wide blue eyes fixed on an orange and black butterfly that sits on a purple clover. Obviously about to pounce!

"Sketches from cat life" 1885. www.loc.gov/resource/cai...
A yellowed page containing sketches of about 30 shorthaired cats of different coat patterns, all engaged in different leisurely activities. Some are sleeping, others grooming, lazily playing, or simply observing the viewer. They fill the space across the page in non particular order, they're not organized into one scene.

It seems weird that I’ve only known this little nugget for 4.5 years. It feels like she has always been a part of me.
Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie lying next to me on a dark brown couch, looking at the camera with one little paw placed on my ribs in a little hug. I’m white, slim, wearing loose light pink satin pajamas with large black polka dots.

The Dinner. Ca. 1900. en.mng.hu/artworks/693/
Oil painting of a dark interior lit only by a warm table lamp while a little bit of cool evening light spills in from an open door. The table is laid with a dinner - it looks like wine, a soup tuner, and some kind of meat on a platter. A woman stands in the doorway like she was perhaps calling to someone outside, but she looks back to keep an eye on a shorthaired tabby cat that is sitting on a chair at the dinner table, stretching up to look at the meat.

Laziness by Théophile Steinlen. 1897. flic.kr/p/jC2jAF
A page full of elegant line drawings of cats on grayish off white paper. The cats are white or black and displaying various poses relating to peacefully sleeping or stretching. They are drawn indecent of each other and distributed evenly across the page, not bound in a scene.
