All in all, Nyx is a hyper kitty that will sometimes slow down for a cuddle, but is almost always ready for some pets. She is sweet and playful and loves to chew on plastic (which is not something we allow of course).

Nyx is a chatty kitty that loves to talk and is fairly food motivated. She is shy to start but offer her a treat and she will warm up pretty quickly.

Nyxie was adopted at about 3 months old in 2020 when we were told we would be going back to the office soon and we didn't want to leave Pixel alone. Nyx had 3 prior adopters the back out when they found out that she had been exposed to mange and would need one more dose of medication.

Her asthma is now under control and we invested in air purifiers for every room in the house to help limit her exposure to irritants.

She is slowly learning to be comfortable with playing again but is still a pretty reserved kitty.

We adopted Pixel when she was about 3 months old from a local shelter. She was as energetic as any kitten to start but started to have coughing fits after play sessions.

Several vet visits and fights to find a diagnosis we finally landed on feline asthma.

Okay I think it is time to formally introduce the girls.

First up is Lady Minerva Emeralda Pixel Shadowhunter. She is a 5 year old domestic short hair. She is either a snuggle bug that loves belly rubs or a "how dare you touch me" kind of kitty but the belly is not a trap. 🧵

She is looking at the camera with her ears forward as if waiting for a toy to appear.

The girls (Pixel and Nyx) heard there are people here now and decided we should poke our heads in to see what is up.

Tried Cadillacquer polishes for the first time. This is magnetic called Reflections. So many different colors!
Painted finger nails over a black and white background. The nails are painted with a magnetic polish done in a cat's eye effect. The polish shifts through red, teal, gold, pink, blue, with hints of purple at the edges, giving an oil spill look. Painted finger nails over a black and white background.

Decided it was time for some nail art again.

Lunar New Year theme nails, using Holo Taco Sacrificial Lacquer as the base color and Maniology plate M449.
Photo nail art that is Year of the dragon themed. Base color is a rich red magnetic polish that is magnetized in a cat's eye effect. Stamped over top of the red are gold designs of chibi dragon characters, dragon scales, and stylized wind effects. Each nail has its own design with the center nail reading Year of the dragon.

New polish just came in and I had to break it open. Picked Brucie and Bat B*tch for a test run of them.
Also the box is so pretty 😍

I'm starting to get the hang of this... Not perfect but not bad for photos taken by my phone.
Close up photo of the moon as taken through my Skymaster's, starting to get the hang of this. Close up photo of the moon as taken through my Skymaster's, this one is a little bright but probably the closest to what I see though the binoculars Close up photo of the moon as taken through my Skymaster's, probably the best for color balance and focus but slightly off center.

Just me learning to take photos through my new binoculars...
Celestron Skymaster binoculars on a metal tripod, set up on a small balcony. First attempt to take a photo of the sky through the binoculars, results in a bunch of pink circles on a black background. Second attempt to take a picture of the moon via the new Skymaster's looks more like taking a photo of the sun on an overcast day. Third attempt, ... .. yeah that basically looks like I pointed my camera at the sun, photos completely whited out.

Yeah, it feels really weird to see an account I have blocked in my followers list or that "follow you" tag when looking at my blocked accounts.

😂 the first thing I posted was cat pictures, I guess I am that predictable.
But bonus cat pictures for you!
