An ANGEL. A perfect baby who has never caused any trouble at all, ever.
A small and rather skinny shorthaired domestic black cat blissfully asleep on a yellow cushion.

She's honestly being more cuddly than I've ever seen her, but also meowing constantly to go out of the room she's in for now. Beautiful troublesome beast, she is. But also a warm, dry, fed, safe beast, thank goodness.

Ohh you could waste HOURS on this...
The words "blood for the blood god" in gold text on a blue background, in the style of Zohran Mamdani's successful New York Mayoral campaign.

I am ON FIRE this day. I have reinforced the bag handle AND finally bound the cuffs of my beloved wool coat so it will last a bit longer. Next up: taking in the waist of a dress and making a cushion cover.
Closeup photo showing an amateur but adequate patching of a black leather handbag. An additional layer of leather has been hand-sewn over the attachment for a handle. Two cuffs of an olive green woollen coat laid out across it. The edges of the cuffs have been bound in coordinating cotton twill.

Wee jaunt up North today.

How about a twofer? Beetle in the back, Clovis at the front. (Beetle, as ever, not entirely happy about sharing)
Two shorthaired domestic black cats on a grey chair in a sunbeam. The cat at the back looks rather grumpy about being sat on.

Plus bonus photo of Beetle being a pretzel.
A shorthaired domestic black cat twisted up like a pretzel on a grey chair. Front beans are on view, as is one lower fang. His expression is philosophical.

Beetle came to ask why I was sitting on my phone on the window seat instead of giving him treats.
A shorthaired domestic black cat sitting on a windowsill. He is slightly walleyed, with large ears and his top lip half-caught on his lower fangs. He looks slightly distracted but still ready to get mean at a moment's notice.

Dug out an old blanket Moosha was always fond of and found one of her whiskers on it. 😿

(for those interested the full painting is The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel, 1847 - not seen it in person but it gets referenced a lot for some reason... 😸)
The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel, 1847 The angel has crashed to the ground, his wings behind him turning black, while behind him his former allies continue to sail through the sky. His furious, betrayed expression is half hidden behind one arm. He is also naked and ripped as heck.

(It's ok he gets to hoover up after the toothless bastard is done making a mess of his.)
Beetle, a shorthaired domestic black cat with no top teeth, eating cat food from a bowl and licking half of it out onto the floor.

"wait was that all of it. That can't have been all of it."
Clovis, a shorthaired domestic black cat, standing over an empty cat food bowl, looking slightly perplexed.

Beetle had an early morning vet check up (he's fine, @mintimperial.com worries too much) and Clovis was really worried about his missing brother.

Post you from a different era
Hand holding a photo of a youngish white woman with 90's eyebrows, a dark blunt bob and fringe, attempting to type on a laptop while a very excellent and good black cat also tries to sit on her lap.

Today was so beautiful I went out to the shop and about three steps from the house decided to go the very long way around, for about an hour. It's glorious out there!
A path through a grassy field, a tree behind a drystone wall, a shed and some hills beyond, and an incredible blue sky above it all.
