Almost forgot to share. I went on my morning walk and saw this beauty. I was able to get closer than I expected. Thought of you, @butterflyguy99.bsky.social

I saw this on the way home today. I literally laughed out loud. Made my daughter take a photo so I could share.
On the back window of a white SUV is a decal that says, “hot girls hit curbs.”

I finally went on a morning walk! I’ve been meaning to all summer but struggled to find the motivation. (I got screwed over at work in May, and it kinda sent me feeling.) It felt SO GOOD to be back out there. Hopefully I am back into the routine.

Clover and Fury
Two cats sleep curled up side by side on blankets. The cat on the left is gray with a white paw visible. The cat on the right is black.

Post a picture of when your pet was little.
(The gray one is Clover. This was her first vet visit. Fury is no longer small enough to fit inside a padded mailer. 😂)
A gray striped kitten is lounging in a silver sink. Her wide green eyes look up at the camera. A black cat with green eyes peeks his head out of a brown padded mailing envelope.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy, but isn’t a selfie.

What a sweetie! 🥰 I have two cats myself. The gray one is Clover, and the black one is Fury.

If you see this, post something pink 💗
Pink tulips are open wide on the left. On the right are darker pink columbine flowers. A white rain spout lies between the plants.

Happy caturday to you, too. Here’s my sweet little Clover. I took that photo because she rarely chooses my lap. It was a precious moment.
A gray and white cat recline on a blue blanket. There are feet in the background, which indicate that the cat is on the photographer’s lap. The cat has a content, sleepy look on her face, with her eyes less than half open.

I completely forgot to share a couple of photos from my daughter’s commencement. I don’t post their faces without consent, which I think is why I forgot. No faces here, so it’s all good.
A woman in a black graduation cap and gown. The top of her cap is decorated with a rubber ducky, sparkly beads, and words that say, “And she waddled away.” Six cakes in letter shapes spell out DePauw. The D is black with a gold tiger paw; E is gold with black lettering, “tigers rise 2025”; P is white with black and gold decorations; A is gold and white with black details; U is white and gold with a tiger face on it; and W is white with gold piping on the edges and black paw prints. Four cakes in number shapes make the year 2025. The 2 is white with gold piping and black details; 0 is gold with black words “congrats seniors”; 2 is god with white details; and 5 is white with gold piping and black words “seniors 2025.”

If you see this, post something orange.

(Random fridge photo. 😂)
Two tall cups sit on the left of a fridge shelf. The one on the left has a blue background with a brief synopsis of Peter Pan. The one one the right has an orange and red scene from Disney’s The Lion King. To the right of that are two packages of Yakult, which also is orange.

A black cat with greenish-yellow eyes stares back at the camera. He’s reclining on a lap, and he has an unamused expression on his face. A gray striped cat with white on her face and right under her chin stares sleepily at the camera. She’s curled up on a white blanket with black and pink flowers.

It’s been a while since I shared a Fury photo. My sweet bubba. He has the cutest snores. 🥰

These two. I think it’s the closest I’ve ever seen them sleep. They both love the red blanket they’re sleeping on, and apparently decided to share. I’m kinda shocked Fury (the black one) didn’t leave. (He usually does when Clover tries to share a sleeping spot.)
Two cats are curled up together on a red, black, and white plaid blanket. It’s a very fuzzy blanket. A black cat is on the right, taking up most of the blanket, and a gray cat is on the left. There’s a similar fuzzy blue blanket by the gray cat. She appears to be partially on that blanket, too. There’s also an Animal Crossing blanket on the back of the couch they’re sleeping on.

I’m exhausted. My oldest asked for tickets to a concert featuring Final Fantasy music. I’m a sucker for those scores, so we went (along with her younger siblings). It was a whirlwind visit to Chicago, and we’ve spent over 7 hours in the car in roughly 30 hours. Good thing I took tomorrow off.
A stage is set up for an orchestra, but no people are visible yet. A screen has a logo of fanciful wings with words below saying, “Distant Worlds music from Final Fantasy” The logo and words are in colorful shades of blue and white.

If you see this quote with flowers from your gallery.

(I really had to scroll far to find these. 😕 Can’t wait for spring!)
A rose bush with green leaves and many blooming reddish-pinkish roses. It’s pretty big, and it takes up the whole photo.

I threw this blanket on Fury because he was starting to chew a cord. I expected him to run, not get comfy.

My oldest got the softest most snuggly blanket for Christmas. Fury claims it. Look at those toe beans! He was sleeping so happily, then she had to take it away to bring to school. Poor kitty. I visit her next weekend, and she plans to send it back then.
A black cat contentedly sleeps curled up on a red, black, and white plaid blanket. The blanket is very fluffy. The cat’s rear toe beans are peeking out.

The beginning of today’s (technically yesterday’s at this hour) snowfall. It’s the first to stick this winter. I’m on the northern edge of what’s coming Sunday. Hopefully we don’t get hit hard. 🤞🏻
A front yard with a light dusting of snow. There might be an inch or so. There is a car parked on the street with a small amount of snow on it.

I meant to share this photo yesterday. Clover is in kitty heaven with one of her favorite people, my son. It was some seriously sweet cuddle time. 🥰
A gray cat with white on her paws and tan patterning lies in a young man’s lap. She’s looking up at him with a blissful expression, and one of her paws is on his chest. The young man is gazing down at her adoringly.

The cats are thrilled with their Christmas gifts. I think this was the most successful Christmas in regard to choosing their gifts. Somehow that feels like a major accomplishment. 😂

I tend to buy blankets for family at Christmas. Not every year, but every few years. This year I got one for myself, too. Or so I thought. Fury has claimed it. He gets mad when I use it. 😂
A black cat with green eyes looks at the camera while curled up on a soft gray blanket. It is clear he has claimed it as his new favorite bed. A black cat is curled up asleep on a soft gray blanket.
