Valentino wants belly rubs #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catbelly
A large seal point Siamese cat is laying on his back belly up on a Mexican blanket, covered ottoman. His light blue eyes are looking sort of in the direction of the photographer, and his belly is very flush and fluffy. It is daytime so the room is full of daylight and you can see everything clearly. There is a chair behind the ottoman, the different Mexican blanket on it. To the right of the chair there’s a little table that has framed artwork and to the right of that the corner of a dark brown wood folding chair is visible with a couple cushions on it Close up of Valentino in full manspread mode Close up of Valentino a face and upper body - he looks very relaxed

Tony was very good today - he got right into the carrier and he was a good passenger sitting on my lap much of the ride to the animal fixed clinic. Once we park, he settled down and purred.

A ginger, tabby tuxedo kitten with orange eyes and a pink nose looks toward the photographer. He is sitting on Royal blue polar fleece blankies and there is dark blue plastic of a cat carrier around him. It is daylight so his face is fully illuminated. A picture of the same kitty, but from outside the closed gate of the carrier. He is looking up at the photographer and has his front paws buried in the blue blankets. He looks a little worried this was right when we left the house and he had not been in a carrier in the car before.

Valentino and Jojo

#kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
A large seal point Siamese cat is sitting side-by-side with a small black cat. They are both looking toward the photographer. It is evening, so the light is coming from a lamp, and both of their eyes are a bit dilated. They are sitting on a light blue carpet Close to the edge - on top a hardwood floor. The same setting this time, the small black cat is laying on her side with all her legs stretched out in opposite direction, and her tail stretched out. The same cat has returned and demands cat treats. He is much closer to the photographer. He’s sitting on the blue carpet, except for his front left paw, which is on the hardwood floor. Little black cat is still stretched out on the carpet behind him looking toward the photographer

Happy #caturday from Tony and Mayor Jojo - she got extra gabapentin this morning and was positively radiant all day.

A ginger tabby kitten is laying in an open produce cardboard box. He’s looking up at the photographer. Just passed him on the carpet is a small black cat who is laying on her side stretched out in a crescent also looking toward the photographer. It’s very sunny and they look like they are solar, charging very well.

The welcoming committee when I got home was apparently too tired to wait on their feet.

In this picture, you see a large seal point Siamese laying on his left side on the floor with his chin resting on a seagrass entryway mat. His tail is extended on the light Maple floor. In tandem just behind him is the ginger tabby tuxedo kitten, also laying on his left side, but with his front legs extended and his chin resting on the floor It is late afternoon and you see daylight coming through the window windows, although the cats are in less sunlight than you see to the left side of the picture

Tony in formation with Eclipse and Mayor Jojo — Simón on the ottoman

#gingertuxedo #gingercat #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
In this picture, you see three cats sitting in a group. There are two black cats sitting almost side-by-side and just in front of the cat on the left is the ginger tabby tuxedo kitten who is about the same size as the cat on the right. It’s daylight and you see afternoon light coming through the windows in the background. Just in the left side of the photo, you see another black cat sitting on a Mexican blanket, covered ottoman. The group of three kitties are sitting at the end of a light brown wood coffee table. There is a light blue and gray patterned rug under them and in the background by the windows there’s a medium brown mission style teak console / cabinet with glass sliding doors

Tony is 8lb 12.7oz a few hours after dinner

#gingertuxedo #gingercat #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
A not so tiny ginger, tabby tuxedo kitten is sitting in a GT kombucha cardboard box on a scale that shows the reading of 8 pounds 12.7 ounces. The box is on the bathroom vanity, which is light pink and to the left is the edge of petal pink porcelain sink that you may remember from a photo last week or so of him, breaking a statue into the sink

Tiny Tony is a pretty happy baby.

Today he decided that the garbage trucks are evil beings that are trying to attack the house. All the other cats in the house ignore the garbage trucks or watch with neutral interest.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Tony is learning a lot from real estate #businesscat Simón about #boxes

#blackcats #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
If you look very closely, you will see that this box contains not cans of sparkling water but a ginger kitten. He is hiding underneath the plastic shrink wrap that was over top 24 cans of sparkling water sitting in the cardboard tray. The floor is white linoleum, and it is daytime. There’s light coming from the left. (kitchen window). Simón the black cat examines his protégé‘s position inside the Waterloo, sparkling water box under the shrink wrap, wrapped plastic with interest. The ginger tabby kitten popped his head out, and it looks like the box has sprouted a cat head. He and the adult black cat are communicating, face-to-face, and not looking at the photographer. And this picture of the kitchen is sitting with his back to the photographer, but has turned his head back to look at the photographer. He has huge years. Just passed his box as a small black adult cat, who is also looking towards the photographer, sitting hunched over in semi cat loaf position. There’s also an assortment of stainless steel food dishes on the floor and a large stainless steel water dish sitting on a black mat on the white linoleum at the end of the cabinet peninsula

Valentino having a cuddle with Tony

#blackcats #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
A large seal point Siamese with pale blue eyes is looking directly at the photographer as he rest both front paws across the middle of the ginger tabby kitten who is laying curled up on his left side, looking sleepy towards the photographer as well. It is night, so the light is coming from a lamp behind a photographer. The Siamese is grooming the kittens for and you can see his tongue. Kitten is not really looking at anything. His eyes are half closed. Valentino, the Siamese is still holding the kitten down with his two front paws and licking the kittens right here. I don’t think the kitten minds The two kitties are snuggled, face-to-face, and Valentino has pulled his front paws back, so he’s not totally pinning down the kitten. They are cheek to cheek and snuggled up.

Two more photos Eclipse’s photoshoot last weekend - he will be a local celebrity featured on a #FOAS transit van - which photos are your favorites?

#blackcat #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
Eclipse our adult black cat friend is sitting on a multicolored velvet patchwork kennel quilt with a black border. There is a light gray photography background behind him and his tail is fully extended out along the floor with a tiny bit of lift in the tip. His front legs are firmly planted, and he sort of leaning a bit to his own right side and looking up. And toward the photographer. Here eclipse is sitting in profile and he’s still sitting on his little velvet kennel quilt. His tail is still extended, and his head is up. He looks almost like a perfect statue of Bastet the Egyptian cat god.

#blackcat #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
A black cat is standing on a light gray photography background with his tail straight up in the air. He’s looking directly at the photographer. Here the same black cat is standing in profile, but looking up and slightly to the back with his tail still extended and he’s paying attention obviously something overhead Here he is licking his mouth and you see his little pink tongue and his bottom canines. He is standing in a similar position as the first picture in this series, looking directly at the photographer. Here he is starting to step forward with his right front paw ahead of his left front paw and he’s looking toward the right and his tail is up in the air still because he’s a happy guy

Mayor Jojo discovered that the ottoman is covered with faux fur rugs and spent the sunny afternoon contentedly making biscuits - she wouldn’t get up when I got home after dark and even let me touch her paw!

A small black cat is a languorously draped over the corner of the ottoman a top, the thick light gray photo for rugs. She’s looking toward the photographer and her right leg is dangling off the edge of the ottoman.
