Well a cross country move with two cats is officially in the books 😅. Move out day was a little rough and since our flight got changed a few times we spent a few nights on cots which Teresa didn't love but quickly adapted to.

Teresa, a calico torbie, hides under a dresser in the closet during move out. She has stuck her head out to say hello and also that she hates everything when I came in to grab some boxes. She was quite distraught when the dresser also had to be removed.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, and Teresa, a calico torbie lay on a blue cot surrounded by various moving supplies (some extra boxes, some tape, a backpack, a cat carrier and so on). Calcifer looks reasonable snuggled in the center of the bed but Teresa is sitting close to the edge with her head hanging down as if she is tired of this world.

Teresa has now gotten quite comfortable with cot life and is laying on her side with her belly showing. Her face is tilted so you can see her cute black chin spot and she is completely asleep.

Calcifer and Teresa lay on opposite ends of a cot napping in complete comfort.

A story in 3 parts:

1) Let's play a game!

2) Fun slappy bitey game!

3) Oh no mom is watching... Act natural!

Teresa, a calico torbie, is sitting on the shelf of a tan corner bookcase on top of a few boxes full of books. She is wiggling herself backwards and getting into position. Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, sits on top of the bookcase in front of a TV watching intently to see if Teresa is ready.

Calcifer's paw is now in motion as he slaps down at Teresa who has her mouth wide as she prepares to bite.

Both Calcifer and Teresa now stare at their mother. Calcifer looks vaguely annoyed at being caught and their game being delayed. Teresa is the picture of innocence as she sweetly peeks out from her hide out. She is definitely not the one who initiated this game. Absolutely not - she was just sitting here minding her own business.

Some ridiculous creatures to make today a little less depressing.

Teresa, a calico torbie, lays on a bath mat in the hallway curled in an almost closed "p" shape on her back. Her white belly is fully exposed. She lays with the top of her head on the bath mat looking at the camera upside down. She has her one front paw extended up and out - maybe for a high five, maybe for a slap, it is very unclear - and has a very silly look in her eye.

Teresa, a calico torbie, is laying on her back with her white tummy exposed in the bathroom being a very long girl. She uses her one front paw to grab the edge of the sink and stretch herself even longer.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, lays on top of the air conditioner next to some plants in a window revealing how orange he actually is. His face is smushed against the plant pot closest to him because his mother accidentally moved it an inch farther right than usual and his brain can't deal with that small movement.

A close up of Calcifer smushing his face against the plant pot and being a big weirdo. Does this look comfortable? No! Did that encourage him to move? Absolutely not!

Teresa loves laying on top of the warm dishwasher. We also went away for a week recently and ever since then if we leave any of our clothes accessible when we leave our apartment we come back to her having nested upon it. I guess she missed us 😂🥰.

Teresa, a calico torbie, is sprawled out asleep on a small white movable dishwasher. Her back leggies are hanging off the edge.

Teresa is now sitting the opposite way on the dishwasher. The fan has just turned off and it will soon start to cool off. She has her stomach and chin exposed to the sky. Her leggies are still extended off the edge. She has absolutely no cares.

Teresa looks up at her parents as she lays on her dad's black T-shirt that has somehow made its way into the floor. The look on her face and her extended front paw says this is mine now. Her favorite donut toy sits behind her.

Hey everyone! Sorry for disappearing - I have been mainly keeping off social media for my mental health as I was doom scrolling way too much. But just know we are all good here. Calcifer and Teresa are officially friends and she continues to be a ridiculous creature who I love very much.

Light blue curtains cover a window with an air conditioner right below it making a nice window ledge. On the ledge 2 cat butts can be seen, 1 buff orange one (Calcifer) and 1 calico torbie one (Teresa), sitting next to each other enjoying the view.

Teresa, a calico torbie, and Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, lay next to each other on a light and dark blue comforter curled up next to their dad's legs. They look directly at the camera at their mom who interrupted their nap for this photo.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, and Teresa, a calico torbie, lay next to each other on top of the arm of a beige couch. They are each looking over their shoulder in the exact same pose at their mom because she made a weird noise at their cuteness.

Teresa, a calico torbie, lays sideways on a beige couch with her head cocked side ways and one ear pushed firmly into the couch with her chin to the sky. She has a silly look in her eye and her one front paw reaches out to grab her mom's toe.

I had a bit of a crazy week so it was so nice to find these in my mailbox. I call Calcifer my Cal-boy so it felt appropriate. Thanks @thecathive.bsky.social !
