Came across this old photo of Rowan in a laundry basket; it’s still one of my favorites. She is just painfully adorable.

We’re in that time of year when the cats are no longer content to take turns in my lap but must double up and I love it (seriously, how cute are they).

Breaking my unplanned social media silence to share the adorable stumpiness of my scruffy alley cat girl’s legs 😂 (I know some cats are bred for this but she was literally found in a dumpster).

One of the fun things about having 4 (yes 4) cats is a photo of one is almost always photobombed by another. Behold Eclipse—in all her fluffy glory!—and Willow, sneaking up to say hi. #cats

Not sure if reading John Koenig’s Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows was a good idea for trying to get past the election or not… oof. (I do recommend it though, it’s quite beautifully written.)

Halloween is also a holiday for my hunter-cat Quill—the door is open so much more often for trick or treaters, and in come the BUGS. He’ll be delighted to have this batch sorted soon. (Yes, he is indoor only…. he would murder EVERYTHING if allowed outside.)

Found a new place to write and had to admire a friend’s setup: wireless mechanical keyboard, connected to phone; phone propped by empty beer glass. Well done sir.

I did the thing! Rowan and Quill are unimpressed, which is fair, for they are cats.
