Kurtis watches over his sleeping brother as Monarch recovers from another long night of keeping the good people of Gotham safe.

When the pavement gets cold, there’s no shame in stepping on your own tail. #cats #caturday #catsofbluesky #jerry
Jerry, a three-year-old male orange tabby cat, keeps his little toe beans warm by resting them on the end of his tail as he stares across the grass, contemplating an uncertain future.

Kurtis and Peanut say Hey.

#cats #catsofbluesky #caturday
Kurtis and Peanut are Tabby cats on a fuzzy purple blanket that I bought in South Korea in 1986.

The boys out for an evening prowl.

From left to right, Smudge, Jerry, Bonsai, Tom, Monarch, and Kurtis.

Not pictured, Princess Peanut, because the outside is scary, the lawn is where dogs poop, and queens don't patrol their own kingdoms.

Six cats at night in a grass courtyard. From left to right, a thin white kitty named Smudge looking to the left. To his right, a tubby ginger tabby named Jerry lounges while keeping one eye on that new white interloper. Bonsai, a 6-year old Siamese mutt prowls at the top of the picture while Tom, a 20-pound tabby mix of tiger and raccoon patterns wonders what Smudge is looking at. Jet-black Monarch watches his brother Kurtis, a plump grey and black striped feline, hunker down in the grass off to the group's right.

Jerrylicious wanted me to remind y'all to be the heroes your pets know you are.

Jerry, a striped creamsicle tabby cat, sees exactly how remarkable we are and wonders why we can't see it.

With the sudden influx of squatters and the high cost of Bay Area rentals that allowed pets, an aging princess of a kingdom long forgotten found herself sleeping in a dirty old cardboard box on the balcony like a stray.

Oh, speaking of, meet Smudge. He's a skinny white stray male short-hair that used to prowl around with Jerry in his tom cat days.

Jerry's gotten a bit NIMBY since acquiring steady housing (and meals), and isn't overly fond of Smudge.

#cats #catsofbluesky #caturday #smudge
Smudge, a thin white male short-hair house cat with dirty paws, blue eyes, and a pink nose and ears, stares nervously at the 80-200mm zoom lens pointing at him, wondering if it is going to try to eat him.

I'm getting kind of a Scar and Mufasa vibe off of Smudge and Jerry.

Smudge, a skinny white short-hair stray male cat faces off with Jerry, an orange and white former running buddy who recently started shacking up (and fattening up) at a house Smudge is looking to mooch some food from. Jerry's gotten a bit NIMBY since acquiring steady housing.

Jerry's read through the 6th amendment several times. No where can he find the word "citizen." He assures me it applies to everyone, not just cats like him lucky enough to be born in San Jose, CA.

Jerry the cat. In a box. Reminding y'all the 6th amendment applies to everyone.

Kurtis, a gray and black cat in a blue in white knit cap, lounges on his human's unmade bed, lost in his thoughts.

I'm trying to hit different local restaurants I haven't tried before. Today it was the Arteaga's on Willow. Sampled the carne and pollo asada, as well as the al pastor. Definitely repeatable. 🇲🇽️ #food

Monarch, Kurtis' jet black brother, rubs on the grape vine trellis while his distracted brother pesters their human for attention. By the ancient law of cats, the trellis, the planter, the grapes, and yes, the very Earth itself now belong to the Great and Powerful Monarch!

Having secured the cat grass and 'nip planter for his early evening enjoyment, Kurtis senses another seeking to usurp is lofty perch.

Kurtis, a grey and black-striped domestic house cat, watches the world from the shade of the grape vines overhanging the cat grass and catnip planter.

Jerry's big fuzzy ex-tomcat head can't fit through the narrow bars of our pool fence, so he hung around while I swam.

After my laps, I set the hot tub bubbles for 10 minutes while Jerry sat in the artificial grass with this expression on his face. #cats #caturday #catsofbluesky #jerrstare
Jerry, an orange and white tabby, observes the absurdity of his human and its hot tub antics from the relative safety of the weed-speckled artificial turf.

When I graciously acquiesced to come in out of the cold and wet to class up this joint, it was with the express understanding that the meals were all “you can eat.”

Does this look like all I can eat?

I’d like to speak to your manager, sir.

Jerry, a scrappy ginger tabby with more than a drop of Irish in him, giving a disapproving stare due to the lack of kibble in his food dish.

Princess Peanut about to complain to Mr. Bates about impertinent staff and their blasted cell-a-ma-phone cameras.
