Lilly enjoyed the sun for a bit, then moved to the shade to cool off.
I love the difference in her color/appearance when sunlit or not. 😍

Some sights on my walk today (taken with my ratty phone).
Bonus shot of one of our backyard squirrels staring me down a couple of days ago.

For obvious reasons 😉, I don't take many selfies (let alone post them), but when Lilly's involved, anything goes!

So, behold, "Beauty and the Beast."

Good mom! I protect Lilly from dangerous UV rays.

Lilly did *not* like her frog hat, although this she wore on Halloween!
Treats were offered as penance for this "torture".

Well, better late than never! @babygrundo.bsky.social got this for Lilly on Saturday. It's for a small dog, but Lilly doesn't seem to mind!

Lilly's Halloween costume last night: a bleppin' feline zombie!

Lilly once again is stealing my shade. ☀️🐱

TBH, I'm pretty proud of this photo, since I had to hold my phone upside down behind my back!

Love it!
Lilly kept this wild turkey feather on her head for almost two minutes. I'll claim it was an early Thanksgiving performance for the masses. 🙂

Woohoo!

Lilly soaking up some sun on the back deck.

Shortly after these were taken, she lay down in my shadow. I guess the sun can get too warm for a fluffy cat... or a bald human. 🙂 I had to move to the shade soon thereafter.

Very sunny and clear here in Petaluma today. Although I won't complain (or is it too late?), I think I like (rain) clouds better. 🙂

Here's an after-rain #Sunset from a week or two ago.

That's so cute! Lilly's giving me full body touches ATM.

Around 1990, I -- a very mature 27 year old -- had these as my bedding, including a matching custom-made duvet cover!

Lilly (and me) enjoying the sun after a couple of gray days.

She was a little annoyed that a tiny lizard was on the *other* side of the bird netting... which we put up specifically to keep Lilly out from under the deck!

For Lilly, today is a good day... as it doesn't involve a (routine) visit to the vet!
She is a healthy girl (well, old lady, technically 🙂) and has recovered from trying to melt under the cabinets in the exam room.

Courtesy of @babygrundo.bsky.social, Lilly is now a lazy kaiju! 😍

Lilly cracks me up with her "old man" poses!

Like it should be everyday, there is no king... but maybe a queen.

Hi, sneaky Lilly!
In the fenced backyard, I often let Lilly cruise around "loose" -- harnessed and leashed, but I'm not holding on.
She loves the backside of this oak, as it gets a lot of sun and lizards and squirrels often skitter away up the tree when Lilly approaches!

Well, Lilly is a cat and she can look fairly globular at times. 🙂

Lilly created the most astonishing sculpture in her litter box a few weeks ago.
I shared pics with a few of my siblings who I know would be amused by Lilly's "artwork."
I'm not planning to share the original pics publicly, but I was thrilled that my nephew 3D-printed this b-day gift for me. 🙂

I think this was the first foreign language film I saw (certainly in a theater). Pretty groovy for an impressionable college freshman. 😉
