Safely obscured behind a curtain of potted plant leaves, Orpheus keeps a keep close on the neighborhood. #caturday

🧐 Why is Bluesky asking if I'm writing in Avestan?

For some reason, sending a Bluesky link of a video of Gov Prizker via Apple's Messages creates a link preview that looks like this. Not that I'm complaining.

Here's Orpheus. He loves being near plants.

I feel slightly guilty for not posting enough cat pics. I'll try to do better.

Fuck this.

Even when he sleeps the claws are ready for action.

Enjoying a sunny #caturday on the front porch.

Orpheus keeps a close watch on the neighborhood from the front porch. #catsofbluesky

Never seen a ratio that extreme. Good job, sane people.

There are still plenty of friendly cats in Oklahoma! (And some decent people as well, even though it doesn't feel like it at times.)

My cat's reaction to the vacuum cleaner is not so different from my feelings about The Discourse on social media this month.

I strongly disagree, but instead of arguing about this, I'm posting a photo of my cat looking at you judgmentally.

(If you want to know why I disagree, see my prior posts.)

Look what y'all made me do.

Apparently, muted words also mute any post quoting a post that's muted. I don't see these phrases or the complaints about them. 😁

That video captures the intrigue quite well.

This meeting is the best side quest I've had in ages. I'll even risk a bit of optimism and say I suspect this encounter might eventually extend to IRL as well.

Meanwhile, here's a photo of a Turkish spice stand.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this song.

It took a couple years for my black cat, Orpheus, to overcome his fear of music. He even seems to enjoy my piano playing at times now.

Welcome to my porch. I won't yell at you but my cat will judge you.
