When Bluesky gets video I will have to record one of me and Brownie doing what I call a "Super Brownie Pet", which is where she flops all over the corner of my bed as I pet her incessantly until she's had enough #cats #catsofbluesky
A photo of Brownie, a dark brown tabby cat, lying down on my bed with a contented expression on her face. On the left side of the photo you can see my hand on her side while I'm doing a Super Brownie Pet.

I had to take this photo very carefully because he's such a light sleeper
A photo of Phantom, my gray tabby cat, taking a nap using my lower leg as a pillow. The right side of his face is practically smushed into my shin. He is incredibly comfortable and relaxed.

I wanted to play my laptop but since Brownie is using the chair I guess I will go play Steam Deck with Phantom
A photo of my bed, covered in tan sheets, atop which sits a Steam Deck, the critically acclaimed gaming portable from Valve, and Phantom, a gray tabby cat with a bemused look on his face while he stares at the camera, as though he's saying that he can't believe I'm using him for content again. That was a single sentence. I could totally be one of those historical prose master guys A photo from the angle of me lying down on my bed. Phantom, on the left side of the screen, looks down and is pawing at my Steam Deck.

This is Brownie's chair, sometimes she's nice and lets me use it
A photo of Brownie, a dark tabby cat, sitting on a recliner atop a purple fuzzy throw blanket adorned with cartoon cats. She looks directly at the camera with a disdainful look. Her right front paw is outstretched so she's basically taking up the entire recliner. Brownie in the same recliner on the same blanket, except now she has curled up slightly and looks so comfortable that moving her would be a crime.

How can cats become so round???
A top down photo of Phantom, a gray tabby, curled up into a circular shape. His head, in the top left of the frame, is resting on his tail, and he appears to be napping.

I've been getting some activity on my account and I'm not entirely sure why, but I guess I can resume posting cat pictures. Phantom and Brownie are still very cute
Phantom, a gray tabby, and Brownie, a dark brown tabby, are lying stretched out on their sides in a basket of laundry. Phantom has his left front leg extended. He moved when the photo was taken and is slightly blurred. Brownie is very nonchalant and relaxed.

There are two cats
On the right side of the frame, Phantom, a gray tabby, is laid out on my outstretched legs with his face fairly close to the camera. On the left side, sitting next to my left leg, is Brownie, a dark brown tabby, who has a sleepy look on her face.

I love your cat! They look like one of mine
Phantom, a gray tabby cat, is curled up into a semicircle and is very relaxed, almost sleepy.

It's almost 50 degrees outside so I opened up the apartment balcony door to air the place out a little bit
Two cats, Phantom the gray tabby on the left and Brownie the dark brown tabby on the right, sit in nearly identical poses, upright and alert and staring intently at something beyond the screen door of my apartment balcony.

It's very hard to get moving in the morning when this happens
A top down photo of my cats sitting around my legs. In the bottom left is Phantom, a gray tabby, who is sitting on my foot. In the top right is Brownie, a dark brown tabby, who is laying by my thigh. Both cats are facing away from the camera.

I didn't realize it'd been almost a month since I last posted

I guess living in extremely depressing times while barely metaphorically keeping one's head above water messes with the ol' perception of time

Obligatory cat photo
A close up of Phantom, a gray tabby, sitting in loaf form on top of a bed. His eyes are big and innocent, his ears are perked up, and he has a perceptive look on his face, as though he wants to listen to my troubles even though he cannot do anything because he is a cat.

I love cats and cats love my legs
A photo of Brownie, a dark brown tabby, holding on to my right leg. Her head and front right paw are resting on my ankle, and her rear right leg is resting on my thigh. Her expression is slightly smug, like "This leg is mine now".

I need to get up and take my meds and brush my teeth and go to bed but how can I?
A photo of my legs and my cats sitting on an outstretched recliner. On the outside of my left leg is Brownie, a dark tabby, who is curled up alongside my foot. Sitting between my legs is Phantom, a gray tabby, who has his head resting on my right ankle and his lower body snuggled up next to my left leg. They are both incredibly cozy and moving them would be a crime.

Gosh I love my cats so much
A photo of two cats laying in a V shape. On the left is Phantom, a light gray tabby, who is looking at the camera over his left shoulder. On the right is Brownie, a dark brown tabby, who is looking at the camera over her right shoulder. Their butts are touching and their tails are parallel.

This was going to be a post about "haha Phantom keeps sitting in this same spot" but then Brownie plunked herself right next to him and I feel that is more post worthy
A photo of two cats. In the top left is Phantom, a light gray tabby, who is slightly curled up. To the bottom right is Brownie, a dark brown tabby, whose butt is nestled into Phantom's belly and she is sprawled out perpendicular to him.

About two months ago I froze some Japanese curry in mason jars and a couple days ago I pulled one out to thaw. Today I heated it in the microwave in a bowl.

It still tastes incredibly delicious but the texture is, uh, not as good. Also love (hate) that it's basically mush except for the carrots.
A photo of frozen then thawed Japanese curry in a bowl. It is very mushy and brown and has a weird looking texture that doesn't flatter it at all. There are a couple of bright orange carrots that have seemingly escaped becoming mushified.

Every day I am thankful that I have cats and I want to believe that they are glad to have me as well
A photo of Phantom, a light gray tabby cat, sitting in my lap. His tail is curled around himself and he is resting his head inside his paw. He is very relaxed and calm, almost serene.

It's fall y'all

Heat: On
Quilt: Out
Cat: Yes
The outline of a pair of legs is barely visible, as they are covered by a festive quilt in colors of orange, brown and gold, adorned with decorations of leaves, pumpkins and crows. At the end of the quilt-covered legs, Phantom, a gray tabby, sits upright and stares directly at the camera, as though displeased at being used as fodder for a low-effort post.

They are plotting something
Phantom, a gray tabby cat, sits atop a red pillow. To his right, on the window sill, sits Brownie, a dark tabby cat. Phantom has a somewhat thoughtful look on his face while Brownie watches him with interest. They are both back-lit by the light from the window which gives them a sort of "evil planning" look.

Little guy alert
A top down photo of Phantom, a gray cat, curled up into a ball on someone's lap (mine). I am holding him from the left side of the photo to prevent him from sliding off, and his front paws are resting on my hand. As I am wearing black pants, his silvery cat hair is visible on my thighs, brushed off from when I was petting him.

"Oh don't mind me, I'm just laying here, starving to death next to my empty food dish which hasn't been filled since yesterday"
Brownie, a dark tabby, sits on top of a cat tree with a large platform. She is looking very forlorn. Behind her you can slightly see her food plate, which is woefully empty.

These are my two cats. The gray one is named Phantom, and he is a cuddly little guy. The dark one is Brownie, she is an adventurous kitty with a super loud purr.
A photo of two cats laying on a quilt on a bed. The cat in the top of the frame, Phantom, is a light gray cat who is curled up slightly. The cat on the bottom of the frame, Brownie, is a dark brown tabby who is laying with one paw extended. Both cats are looking at the camera.
