Mostly a lurker. Busy reading and learning. Nature. Comics. Books. Science. Bossed around by two juvenile cats. (Disaster pair!) Tries to be as kind as possible. Sometimes I succeed. (she/her)
No longer active on Twitter.
Adorable window display from the café Vetekatten (The wheat cat? The cat made from wheat?) in Stockholm.

A tiny kitten bursts out of a package. And the kitten is made out of wheat straw. So it's a Vetekattunge (wheat kitten).

Artist unknown

See here what my little eye spied at the local Goodwill!

I picked it up for the pricely sum of SEK 19 (approx USD 2.0 or GBP 1.9) Looking forward to reading it, and when I'm finished I'll donate it to one of the more reputable 2nd had bookstores.

Our tiny grey tabby Kajsa visited the vet for her annual check up and vaccination booster. It was scary.

Good thing that the clinic has small round windows in the frosted glass so the visiting pets can look out and feel less vulnerable.

(She's healthy.)

Just look at this lil anjil! The cutest, softest little furball as long as she's sleeping.

When she's awake, Kajsa can switch between purrfect darling and prickly demon in the blink of an eye.

Lots of "NO WANNA!" in this one.

"Cat? What cat? There are no cats here!"

Our tiny, feisty female tabby Kajsa pretends to be a ghost rather than interact with me in the bathroom.

It's way too early for cuddles for this girl.

Boooo! 👻

After reading the description of Babas "Halloween burger" we simply HAD to get takeout tonight.

Beef patty with cheddar cheese, roasted onion, chili cheese puffs, blueberry jam, and smoky mayo!! Pretty tasty all in all. (Must admit that I was a bit sceptical.)

The store Lakritsroten (the licorice root) goes all in on "Autumn" and "Halloween".

The black cat is more the size of a small panther than a large cat and would probably shove the pumpkin off the sidewalk. Because ... cats.

Late to the party, but still.

Finally registered for a monthly donation in support of @wikimediafoundation.org

Every bit helps.

My sweet himbo Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles) shows off his best asset, the tail, while checking out any bird action in the yard.

The catio ensures that he and Kajsa, our other cat, can do the: "in now, no out, no I want in, why am I not out there NOW" all day,

Today Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles) my sweet himbo is a proud participant in #AgriaKattparad

For every cat that takes a leisurely stroll this weekend, the insurance company Agria donates 10 SEK in support of Swedish cat shelters.

And that's good! 💰

I hope that someone who loves old toys and model railways finds these slightly battered parts and gives them a new loving home. They're far too neat to be discarded as "trash".

Some whimsy art to brighten my day. Bold cheerful colors.

A leopard in love (on the opposite side is a tiger, and on top they're kissing). I like that it doubles as a bench if you need somewhere to sit for a while.

Didn't get the name of the artist. 😳

If the ear doesn't fit it gets smooshed.

Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles) has had an eventful week with a vaccination booster at the vet (that was scary) and being given delicious chicken treats by the vet (that was AWESOME!)

Now he's the best boi, at home.

Do you want to count down the days until X-mas together with the Moomins? Here's a cute (and probably very tasty) tea calendar.

The perfect gift for that person in your life who prefers a bit of Scandinavian melancholy together with their hot drink.

Yes, I know it's Caturday, but don't be so loud when you celebrate. You'll wake Fröken Fräken (Ms Freckles).

Besides being an actress, a singer and a composer she also wrote a children's book about insects (included was a cassette tape) and designed glassware.

(Yep! Ridiculously talented.)

Her Mellotron was purchased by a collector and used to record this record that's available at Bandcamp.

Gaby had absolute pitch and could arrange all the recordings accordingly. She built an extensive library of notes from insect buzz.

(And while doing so, she also learned a lot about insects.)

She used the Mellotron to play music and also to compose some of her own. (She was very talented!)

🧵 1/x Once upon a time, the Swedish actress/singer Gaby Stenberg became obsessed with the idea of using the buzz of flying insects to play music.

She started recording the buzz of insects in the late 1970's and used the recordings to build an "insect mellotron".

Tempramental. Picky. Unwilling to share anything, be it food, sleeping spot, pets or attention.

Frequently picks fights with "my" himbo cat Fröken Fräken and bullies him mercilessly.

A chaos goblin with opinions and lungs like a opera singer.

So. A perfect cat. But usually not MY cat.

Kajsa is a tiny female and she usually prefers my partner over me. The exception being at bed time when she sleeps at my feet. (Guess I don't toss and turn as much as my partner.)

She's also fast when it comes to showing us the error of our ways. Claws or teeth, both works. So "goblin mode!"

"I thought you said you have TWO cats? But I only see you posting about one?"

Yes, that's corretc. But I'll try and make it up to you.

Meet Kajsa, the tiny brown-grey female tabby that came as part of a bonded pair together with Fröken Fräken, my himbo.

En väldigt intressant kväll på Hedengrens bokhandel där vi i publiken fick lyssna på författaren (och forskaren) Johan Wennström när han i samtal med Abbe Bonnier berättade om den svenska "stay behind"-rörelsen.

Naturligtvis köpte jag boken också. (Kan inte riskera att min TBR-hög krymper.) 💙📚

This cake will make a small child very, very happy.

Seen in the counter display at Balders Bröd*, a combined bakery & cafe, in Sollentuna.

*Yes, the god Balder from Scandinavian mythology.

"More pets, please!"

Of course I kept cuddling this little shy gentleman for as long as he wanted. Until he suddenly remembered that he had better things to do and left ...
