this cat is not real
Photo of a black cat on a gray blanket, lying on his back with his head twisted sideways and arms up, with one stretched out. It’s giving renaissance painting, specifically Venus by Botticelli

local coffee shop is the best part of my hometown 💖 I wish I could live just in this shop
Photo of electric old building with high, tiled ceilings, wooden floors, plush vintage chairs, plants, and a coffee in a glass cup in the foreground. In the background, you can see a trans and pride flag hanging from the ceiling next to an old wooden staircase and a vintage elevator on the far right wall. The vibes are immaculate

lmfao and the Iowa government just passed a law that says we can’t sue BigAg for giving us cancer (the second highest in USA and likely climbing)
Poster reading: Important Alert for Central Iowa and DMWW Customers STARTING IMMEDIATELY Stage III Water Shortage Plans Are Now in Place WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Reduce water use immediately. Lawn watering ban in place. Stop watering lawns. AND CONSIDER Delay washing vehicles. Don’t fill pools. Only wash full loads of laundry or dishes. Take shorter showers. Screenshot of a Facebook local alert for Des Moines from the page City of Des Moines - Government Pending an imminent risk of violating the nitrate standards, all commercial and residential lawn watering and automatic lawn watering systems are prohibited until further notice. Though our water filtration system is the largest in the world [citation needed], it is running at maximum capacity. Additionally, the Raccoon River, where Des Moines Water Works intakes water, has unusable nitrate levels. This ban is effective immediately and affects all businesses and all residential customers served by Central Iowa Water Works. In addition to cutting lawn watering, the regional authority asks customers to repair leaky faucets, run only full loads in their washers and dishwasher, take shorter showers and avoid filling pools, washing cars or using water toys. If nitrate levels rise above EPA limits, infants under 6 months old and pregnant women cannot drink tap water. Nitrate can also pose health risks like blue baby syndrome, pregnancy complications, and reduced oxygen in the blood.

Look at myyy sons!
Top-down photo of two cats overflowing the round top of a cat tree by a window, arranged like a yin-yang symbol, and looking at the camera. The left cat is a much bigger black cat with bright green eyes, with his head closest to the camera and his front legs draped over bottom half of the second cat. The second cat, on the right, is a small grey and white tabby with mossy green eyes and his head the opposite of the black cat. The little one was clearly there first and the chunky black cat sat on top of him because his back grey tabby and white leg is over the black cat’s middle and the rest of his legs are all somewhere under the behemoth of a black cat. They are very cute

The gettyimages meme of a kid pretending to playfully throw a rubber dodge ball at a group of three other kids, who unbelievably feign fear (but like in a cutesy kid trying to act way). The kid about to throw the ball is labeled “Apollo,” the ball is labeled “the gift of prophecy,” and the group of kids about to be hit with the ball is labeled “random internet users just trying to be comedic.”

I’m only kinda half-joking
Photo of a Garmin watch screen on a person’s wrist that is resting on some unfinished knitting. The watch screen says, “Restful period (+2) Restful periods in the evening can help you relax and improve your sleep quality. 9:08p - 22 min”

Please look at this photo of my sons, they are so precious
Close up photo of two cats with their faces pressed next to each other and eyes closed. They are framed by an aqua blanket and the left cat is a larger all-black cat, whose face is obscuring half of the right cat’s face, who is a smaller white and gray tabby with a black nose

It’s the only aesthetic that they share 🖤🩶 they’re also ridiculously photogenic
Close up photo of two cats on a gray blanket covered couch. The background features an all-black cat curled up next to the second cat, who is a gray and white tabby with a dark nose that starkly contrasts with the center white fur on his face. The black cat’s pink tongue is out, grooming the tabby cheek of his smaller brother in front of him, whose face is turned to the side and his eyes are closed, as if he’s getting a facial at a spa

The most classic of combos
A black cat and a tabby and white cat laying on a gray blanket covered couch. The black cat is seated behind and to the side of the tabby and white cat, with both jet black front paws and arms draped over the front shoulders of his brother, framing his brother’s head. Both cats are looking directly at the camera and the black cat appears to be thinking, “don’t ever talk to me or my brother again”

Lost my mind these past 30 days, so when I found out rescue kitten has a (mostly healed) broken leg, I made a cat condo for his rest period

Oh and his brother has an ear infection, eye infection, and… ringworm!!!

😌
Photo of a medium-sized pet mesh crate connected to a larger mesh pet popup tent in an apartment, next to a floor-length window. You can see a food and water dish, blankets, and the ghostly figure of a white and tabby 6mo kitten sadly gazing through the side of the crate

Seymour never fails to disappoint
Photo of a black cat with medium-length fur sleeping on his back on a person’s lap. One front leg is bent like a t-Rex arm and the other is stretched out straight behind his head. His eyes are closed and his head is tilted to the left, clearly passed out asleep

To be fair, they are incredibly cute
Photo of two cats sitting on a gray blanket. The one in back is black with green eyes and has his two front paws/legs over the shoulders of the smaller one in front, who is tabby gray on top and has white on the front of his face to his belly. It’s giving, “don’t ever talk to me or my son again”

Sleepy vampire baby
Small black cat half-asleep on a blanketed lap, laying on his back. His green eyes are half closed and the viewer can see two canine teeth sticking out under his top lip. His paws are curled up in the air under his chin
