I love when trees change into their autumn colors starting at the top on down. Like a ‘90s frosted tips hairstyle (but burgundy).
Trees in various states of their leaves changing to autumn colors. The focus is on foliage that has burgundy at the top and green at the bottom.

You can be comfy and on high alert
Gidget, a black cat, is still looking intensely into the distance, but now she’s lying down on her plush cat bed.

What does she hear?
Gidget, a black cat, is sitting up and looking intensely. In the background, another black cat is lying down with her eyes slightly open.

My cats have claimed a few blankets too, though Gadget also likes to claim my seat on the sofa if I get up for a moment. She never looks smugger than when she’s stolen my spot.

I don’t think Gidget loves her pirate Halloween costume.

My in-laws have the best taste in books! I especially love the spooky illustrations.

It’s especially perfect for Mischief Night/Devil’s Night/Hell Night/All Hallows’ Eve Eve!
The cover of the story collection “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” The illustration before the story “The Dead Man’s Brains.” A grandma-type older woman is happily carrying a plate with a head on it. The head has the top of it cut off with steam coming out of it.

My cat Gadget never looks happier than when she’s stolen my seat.

(At least they always look adorable as they show their dominance.)

Looming over her sister, resulted in Gadget realizing she had to overly bathe (lick) Gidget. Though the joke is on her, Gidget LOVES it.

Though Gidget also loves bathing others, including myself at 3 AM when she decides it’s time to aggressively cuddle and lick my forearm. Thanks Gidget.

Why does Gadget look evil in this photo?
Two black cats are resting on a blanket. Gidget is lying down while Gadget is sitting up and staring down the camera as if it owes her $1,000 and hasn’t been returning her calls so she’s starting to plot some dastardly plans.

I attended a protest today and loved how people were so friendly and energized. Here are a couple of my favorite signs!
Two protest signs are visible. One is of a black cat kicking a crown and says, “Since 1776.” The second sign says, “ICE is for lemonade.” A protest sign has an image of a monarch butterfly and say, “The only orange monarch American wants! No kings in the USA!”

I put out my Halloween decorations and my cats seem to approve!

Gidget decided to blend in with the decor while Gadget destroyed zombie figurines. Gadget, as a smart kitty, went straight for the heads.

Gadget has decided that her sister makes a pretty good footrest. Gidget is not as delighted with the situation.
Gadget, a black cat, is laying stretched out on a bed with her back paws resting on top of Gidget (another black cat). Gidget is side eyeing the camera with a “Do you see what I have to put up with?” expression.

Gadget wants to both play and nap at the same time. Decisions, decisions.

The observer.
The subject of observation.

Hello there
Gadget, a black cat, it lying on wooden furniture with her head tilted sidewise. She’s staring directly into the camera with large eyes, as if peering into your soul and saying “pet me”

Timeline cleanse!

Gidget only wants to be woken up if it’s time for play

Trick question! Gadget’s already my perfect chaos demon AND she’s playing with a toy spider!

Is Gadget transforming into a demon or is she playing with her plastic toy spider?
