The cats appreciate you
Two cats on an ottoman. One is black. The other is a seal point Siamese. Behind them on the left side of the photo is a little ginger kitten. It is daytime and they are in the living room. Behind them on the right is a coffee table with pumpkins and a couple of chairs.

Maybe you could do something about mother Jones using the completely crazy and gobbledygook term “under age women”?

That would certainly serve society better than moisturizing and staying in your lane

How about these cats? Real or AI?
Large seal point Siamese on a Mexican blanket covered ottoman - his eyes are closed. Just behind him on the left is an adult black cat looking toward the photographer - and down on the floor just visible behind the black cat is a ginger and white tuxedo tabby kitten hiding behind a sheet of brown craft paper

Tiny Tony is now in the “jumping on the armoire” phase but still thinks he is small enough to hide behind a 4x6” framed photo

TGIF from Tony

#gingertuxedo #gingercat #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
A ginger tuxedo tabby kitten is looking up at the photographer from a gray carpet covered cat condo topped with a light green fleece. His paws are pushed up against the edge of the condo tray on the right side of the photo. He’s laying on his left side and he’s between a pair of corner windows so there’s lots of good even natural light. His little face looks very expectant, and his eyes are very amber orange today

#quilt pieces on Singer221 and quilted on Amara #longarm — the top is mostly salvaged and scrap fabrics, but the back is a custom design fabric printed on spoonflower.

Quilted with a #rosevine #pantograph
The log cabin quilt is folded in thirds and hanging over the bedroom door. The photographer holds the edge of the quilt in their left hand to show the quilt binding. On the right, you see the quilt top color of the block is red and pink with light blue top quilting, and on the backside of the quilt, you can see the light blue custom fabric with little kitties peeking out. This shows the backside of the quilt and you can see the continuous rose and leaves pattern quilted onto the light blue fabric that has a Siamese cat with a little pink flamingo toy, and his little black cat friends in various groupings. A close-up of two of the log cabin blocks while still on the rollers of the long arm machine so that you can see the top stitching

#logcabin #quilt finished today
Curved log cabin quilt in a queen bed — log cabin pattern is used with uneven strip widths blues and whites in the center blocks purples and pinks on the blocks around the outside edge. There is negative space of black that looks like stars or possibly a cat laying on the bed. Miss Mercy Buttercup the black cat sitting on the backside of the quilt to demo the cute “Valentino and friends” fabric - she is sitting in cat loaf position and looking at the photographer Tony the ginger kitten walking on the quilt covered bed - and Eclipse the black cat laying on the quilt and blending with the pattern Eclipse the black cat standing on the quilt covered bed looking at the photographer

Miss Mercy teaching Tony about iPad cat games

#gingertuxedo #gingercat #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
In this picture, there’s a very small black cat on the left - Miss Mercy — and a slightly larger orange spotted tabby tuxedo kitten on the right - Tony They are sitting on a dark purple fleece blanket on the bed with an iPad on the bed between them. Tony is reaching for the iPad with his left front paw In the background, there are a pair of windows that meet at the corner of the room and there’s a small cat condo in front of it where Eclipse — another black cat — is sleeping It’s daytime but slightly overcast outside resulting in shadows and diffuse light Here is a close-up of Tony, looking intently at the iPad and touching it with his right paw. Miss Mercy, watching Tony trying to figure out what’s going on with the iPad as he lowers his head to the table tablet In this picture, Miss Mercy and Tony are still sitting on either side of the tablet and we can still see eclipse in the left corner by the windows, but we can also see another black cat, Simón - on the foot of the bed in the upper right corner of the photo. He’s laying on his side with his head, pointed toward the right edge of the photo completely ignoring these guys.

Taco Tony

#gingertuxedo #gingercat #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
Tony the Ginger spotted tabby kitten in the dark purple Catball canoe — he is looking up at the photographer and his left front leg is extended out from the bed. He has cute little white mittens. He is on a light blue rug with white patterns on it, surrounded by cat toys. Behind his head on the floor is a little red cardinal. To the right of the photo next to his paw is a big red catnip strawberry.

A pair of black cat sit next to a window on knitted blanket. They are looking out the window. It is daylight and you can tell that they are not at ground level, looking down on shrubbery and bushes.

Tony in the same bed in July
A tiny ginger tabby kitten sits in the center of a dark purple cat bed that is sort of shaped like a taco, but he’s so little that we just see his shoulders and head above the highest point of the curve. He is looking straight forward to the right side of the photograph. We see him in profile. His ears are up and attentive. He’s on a light blue rug in front of a brown cabinet in the living room. To his left is a light brown wood and sisal ramp.

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

Tiny Tony the ginger spotted tabby tuxedo kitten sitting on the table with some pumpkins behind him - full afternoon sunlight casting his shadow on the two pumpkins behind on the left side of the photo - he’s gazing toward the photographer with his pretty orange / amber eyes Tony’s rear view on Oct 22 - his ginger nuts in full view - I swear they were bigger by 11/8 Tony rear view - fully shaved and microscopic ginger nuts Tony belly up view - they went kinda nuts with the shaving for such a tiny tattoo - I wish I requested “no tattoo”

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.

#gingertuxedo #gingercat #gingertabby #kitten #blackcatranch #siamese #cat #catsofbluesky
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.
