Tried to take some holiday photos of my cats ... These are two of the outtakes.
A fluffy black cat lies in his cat bed and licks his nose, unimpressed at the buffalo plaid santa hat a hand is holding over his right ear. His tabby sister is visible in a cat bed behind him. A tabby tiger cat mews, bottom fangs visible, and ducks her head to get away from the buffalo plaid santa hat that a hand is holding over her left ear.

Looks like my guy ...
A big fluffy black polydactyl cat lounges on a hardwood floor. A big fluffy black polydactyl cat stretched across a windowsill. A big fluffy black polydactyl cat and a small tabby tiger cat wait impatiently outside a closed door. A big fluffy black polydactyl cat lounges on a couch covered in a grey sheet.

We've had this candy corn cat hut for three years now. This is the first time Cub has deigned to spend any time in it. 💛🧡🤍🖤
A floofy black cat pops his head and one paw out of a candy-corn-shaped cat hut. A floofy black cat is sleeping with his head falling out of a candy-corn-shaped cat hut. A sleepy floofy black cat pops his head out of a candy-corn-shaped cat hut.
