(Looks better in picture than in life)

Thanks!!!

To be clear, Winston (the cat in the picture above) looks and acts nothing like Marshall, below)
Marshall, a solid grey cat with bright green eyes is laying all twisted and ridiculous on a blue heating pad on a grey couch. His back half is laying on his back with his feet pointed up. He looks bit like he is assembled wrong. His top half is laying on his left side. He is looking directly at the camera with an expression that makes clear that he has never had a thought. Ever. (But he's very sweet!)

Marshall would love a cranberry tunarita, and a second one for a cat that can't afford one. You do good work!! Thanks!

Winston is neither cat or dog, he's a vampire!
A black and white long-haired cat with bright green eyes is wearing a black satin cape with red lining and a large red collar. He is posing regaly in front of a white door.

He loves helping with trick-or-treat
The cat from the picture above has taken off his costume and is staring hopefully out the front door looking for children to meet.

Happy Halloween, Everyone!
A long-haired white cat with black ears and markings around his ears is wearing a black satin cape with red lining and a large red collar, like a vampire cape. He is looking right at you. In reality, he is waiting for trick-or-treaters.

I saw this posted on another site and immediately thought of @gonzo.bsky.social . You provide a service, friend!!

I feel like maybe Marshall being silly might help right now.
A solid grey cat with bright green eyes is laying upside down with all 4 feet in the air. He is looking straight at you with an expression that makes clear he has never had any thoughts in his life. He knows he gets by in life on his looks. He is laying on a grey heating pad on a darker grey couch. He is ridiculous, but very sweet.

There are only a few people whose words I will take to heart as qualified to address the immediate aftermath of a shooting. Gabrielle Giffords is one of them. In light of today's events, I will let her speak for me:

Many things suck. But kitties can help.

This is Winston. He's good at cuddles.
A long-haired black and white cat (in a panda marking pattern) is looking right at you with bright green-yellow eyes and a pink nose. He is sitting on a blue and white patterned carpet. He would very much like to cuddle with you.

Ok, we can skip the coconut and go straight to the Carrot cake!!!

Photo of the cake in question (comes in larger size)
It is a stunning coconut cake with cream cheese frosting and covered in coconut and white chocolate.

Winston understands. He doesn't share his box either.

Sorry I'm late to this. . .

My solid grey kitty (Marshall) has excessively long legs. . . Do you think he stole hers and switched them?? 😱

Picture proof:
A solid grey kitty lays somewhat curled (like position) on a bed with grey sheets. He'd curl up more, but he has really long legs sticking out. His name is Marshall.

Here are my thoughts for today. . .
A drawing of a Taco Bell Crunchwrap with several bites taken out, exposing uts contents, and black writing superimposed on it saying, "I've Had Crunchwraps More Supreme Than This Court."

Feeling this today. . .
Picture of a sticker. It is a drawing of a Taco Bell Crunchwrap with a bite taken out and some of its contents showing. In black writing over the top it says, "I've Had Crunchwraps More Supreme Than This Court."

Just the dumbest person - you are not supposed to tell that part. 🤦‍♀️

Diplomacy 101 - let them save face so the argument can die. You just got rid of their cover by saying they warned you in advance.
A "Truth" from the President, where he says a lot of nonsense, but then tells the world that Iran gave the US notice before the bombing on a US base today. 🤦‍♀️

Anya, Marshall and Winston are here for you!
A grey and white tuxedo cat with pale green eyes and a red pirate cat tag is looking just past you. Her name is Anya. A solid grey cat with green eyes is looking at you. He is inside a cardboard scratcher that is shaped and decorated like a space capsule. It says "USA Space Cat" on the side. His name is Marshall. A long-haired black and white cat (in a panda pattern), with a very bright pink nose is laying on a perch next to a screen. He is looking intently at something. His name is Winston.

Can my kitties and I get 1 shrimp taco, 2 chicken tacos, a quesedilla and a pitcher of Margueritas.

We'll tip well!
