Tales from the K-hole - the cat is mostly off her post-surgery trip now, but please enjoy these works of art.
A small elderly tabby cat with large round eyes sits on a bed, wearing a bright yellow knitted sweater. Her pupils are wide and her mouth is slightly open, giving her a dazed, spaced-out expression. The background is softly blurred, showing indoor furniture and plants. The same elderly tabby cat sits in the same spot on the bed, still wearing the yellow knitted sweater. Her mouth is open a bit wider in this shot, as if mid-meow, and her eyes remain very round and dilated. The background is the same softly blurred room interior.

Today’s the day, Mia has dental surgery to rob her of her last tooth. I’m eerily worried this time around, so I’m basically just posting here because all of you have become my “antique cat needs surgery” good luck charms.

Just dropped her off, feeling like the worst cat parent in existence.
A very old tabby cat is curled up asleep on a checkered armchair. Her fur is a mix of grey and brown, slightly scruffy from age, and her front paws are tucked against her chest while her back legs stretch out. The photo is softly lit with a shallow depth of field, so the background and parts of the chair fade into a gentle blur. Two small green cat toys lie near her back paws.

Dear Reddit, how do I (33F) get my cat (21F) to stop knocking on heaven’s door all the goddamn time when clearly she has no intention of dying?

Anyways, surgery on Tuesday, Miss Mia’s last remaining tooth seems to have to go. Pretty sure I caught her browsing Amazon for nunchucks earlier.
A close-up of an elderly tabby cat lying on a soft surface indoors. The cat has round greenish eyes, a small pink tongue sticking out, and a worn but expressive face with short whiskers. She wears a black collar with small white skulls and a turquoise tag shaped like a circle with a paw print. Light from a nearby window creates a gentle glow on her fur. A plant and a shelf are visible in the background.

Halloween things are afoot.
A young girl with long blonde hair, her face covered by a pink heart emoji, is carving a pumpkin at a kitchen table. She holds up a string of pumpkin pulp while an orange cat on the table edge gazes up at it intently. Several pumpkins, metal bowls, and kitchen tools are scattered around, suggesting a lively pumpkin-carving session.

Starting off this morning with @bearlawyer.bsky.social giving the small orange son a stern talking to for attempting to eat the jelly Halloween window stickers.

I maintain it isn’t his fault that he’s perpetually unlucky when it comes to thinking. Also, those stickers look delicious. Jelly!
A plump white and orange cat sits upright on a wooden floor beside a doorway, gazing directly at the camera with a flat, mildly judgmental expression that radiates the quiet confidence of someone who’s never paid rent.

I’ll be honest, preemptively announcing that you will be ghosting candidates unless you’re interested is a new low in HR.

“Please invest two to three hours of work for the chance to be considered for a rejection!”

Green. Timber.
I’m going to be insufferable and I’m so sorry in advance.
A charming countryside cottage with white plaster walls and green wooden trim, featuring a corrugated metal roof. The front entrance has a small wooden porch with chairs, potted plants, and a hanging wicker lamp. A gravel path leads through a lush garden filled with colorful flowers and greenery.

Related: Some guy at my old job once told me not to order her expensive medical cat food in bulk, because “it’s only a matter of time anyways” (he was generally quite vocal about thinking that adopting an old cat is a waste of money).

I often think about the fact that she has outlived him by now.
A photo of Mia, a 21-year-old tabby cat, sitting gracefully on a wooden staircase. Her green eyes are wide and luminous, her fur a mix of brown and gray that shows her age with quiet dignity. She looks slightly up toward the camera with a curious, gentle expression, framed by the soft indoor light and the sleek metal railings beside her.

The cat is attending more pressing matters now, given that she finds the repetitive idyll of the southern Swedish countryside quite offensively boring. Not enough brutalist architecture, or secret basements to execute the bourgeoisie in (she will not elaborate further without her lawyer present).
A tabby cat is sleeping soundly on a bed with patterned sheets, its head resting against the fabric and paws tucked close. The warm lighting highlights the soft fur and peaceful expression.

The cat is assisting me in choosing which of the pre-selected houses to book for viewings. After all, she used to have coffee with Frank Lloyd Wright every Thursday (until he got too busy with that Fallingwater nonsense, way too wet in her opinion) and has an exquisite taste in architecture.
A tabby cat is nestled among patterned white and gray bedding, peeking out toward an open laptop nearby. The laptop’s keyboard is in focus, while the cat looks cozy and curious, surrounded by the folds of the blanket in a warm, softly lit setting.

I’m just gonna turn into this cat I think
Illustration by kattstad.studio showing two anthropomorphic orange cats in a café. One cat stands at the counter wearing black Converse sneakers, looking tired and slightly manic, while the other cat, behind the counter in a green apron and beige cap, looks utterly done with life. The speech bubble from the customer cat reads in Swedish: “Jamen hejsan jag tar en trippel espresso, en lobotomer­ing och en kanelbulle tack,” which translates to “Well hello, I’ll have a triple espresso, a lobotomy, and a cinnamon bun, please.” The style is hand-drawn, colourful, and humorously deadpan, with muted red and green tones giving the café a slightly surreal vibe.

“Baby, let the games begin.” (Swift, 2017)
Close-up of a white cat with orange markings on its head and ears, looking slightly to the side with a mildly concerned or surprised expression. The word “Fuck” is written in cursive text across the cat’s lower face.

You couldn’t waterboard the shit out of me that some people voluntarily share on LinkedIn. My god.
LinkedIn post von Michael postier. “Moin, So, mein kleiner Jax ist jetzt seit gut drei Wochen in der Schule. Drei Wochen! Man möchte meinen, er hatte die Relativitätstheorie gelöst und nebenbei noch eine neue Methode erfunden, Toastbrot nicht auf die Marmeladenseite fallen zu lassen. Das mit dem Toast klappt noch nicht, aber das kleine Köpfchen arbeitet. Gestern Lese-Hausaufgaben. Da sitze ich dann und bin ehrlich aufgeregt, was da alles passiert. Wir sind ja, und da muss man mal tief Luft holen und sich fast schämen, an einer sehr privilegierten Schule. Kein Privatschuppen, aber alles tiptop, kleine Klassen, und man flüstert es nur: 60 "sehr geringer Ausländeranteil" → Man fühlt sich sofort schlecht, aber auch erleichtert, so ist das in Deutschland. Dann aber schwenkt mein Blick und der ist ja nicht blind, ein paar Meter weiter... Wedding, Moabit...da hast du Klassen, da ist der Ausländeranteil bei 70, 80 Prozent. Eltern, die kaum Deutsch sprechen, Kinder stellenweise auch nicht. Jetzt mal Hand aufs Herz: Wie zur Hölle soll ein Lehrer in so einer Klasse den Bildungsauftrag erfüllen, Kinder auf das Niveau bringen, das wir als „Standard" bezeichnen? Das ist kein Problem der Kinder, das ist ein riesiger gesellschaftlicher Riss. Aber das allergrößte Problem haben die Lehrer. Sie sollen das auffangen, was zu Hause nicht mal im Ansatz vorgelebt werden kann. Das Kind kommt mit Hausaufgaben heim, und die Eltern können nicht helfen, weil sie es selbst nicht verstehen oder lesen können...das ist Einsamkeit mit Rechenschieber.”

The kids are, in fact, alright.
A photo shows two posters attached to a green utility box outdoors, with a brick building and hedge in the background. The left poster is red and black, featuring a skull and explosions, with the Swedish text: “IMPERIALISM & KRIG ÄR MÄNSKLIGHETENS FIENDER! REVOLUTIONÄR KOMMUNISTISK UNGDOM” (“Imperialism & war are humanity’s enemies! Revolutionary Communist Youth”). The right poster is black and red, showing a raised red fist and red carnations, with the Swedish text: “KVINNOKAMP KLASSKAMP REVOLUTIONÄR KOMMUNISTISK UNGDOM” (“Women’s struggle is class struggle. Revolutionary Communist Youth”). Both posters promote a left-wing political message.

Post what the FBI will “leak” as Antifa HQ
The moomin house. A tall, narrow blue house with a red pointed roof stands in a lush green valley surrounded by mountains. The house has small white-framed windows, a porch with steps leading up, and a small side annex with its own roof. A dirt path leads from the house through a grassy field dotted with flowers and rocks. Fir trees and soft green hills fill the background under a clear blue sky with a few fluffy clouds. The image has a soft, storybook-like illustration style.

Here’s the culprit resting her old bones in the last rays of summer sunlight.
A tabby cat with green eyes lounges on a soft gray blanket, wearing a bright yellow knitted sweater. Sunlight falls across the cat’s face, highlighting its whiskers and slightly squinting, regal expression. A bookshelf with colorful spines is blurred in the background.

It’s sweater season, bitches.
My ancient grey tabby cat Mia (with big green eyes) is wearing a bright yellow knitted sweater. The cat is sitting on a soft grey towel inside a white wire basket. Behind the cat, there is a bookshelf filled with colorful books, creating a cozy indoor setting.

Anyways, since the boat is cursed, the trailer’s winding mechanism obviously died and we’re stuck blocking the marina slip with a half-waterlogged boat. Miss Ida really doesn’t like me. Worst thing is: while @bearlawyer.bsky.social is fixing her, I have to do Swedish (!) small talk with his aunt.
A man stands barefoot in shallow water next to a boat trailer, adjusting equipment as a small orange and white motorboat floats behind him. The scene takes place at a marina on a clear, sunny day, with docks, sailboats, and a lighthouse visible in the background under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Ursa Minor decided it was time for a portrait study of the cat, after the cat tapped her for attention all morning. Hit the marks, I think.

Tap.
black marker drawing of Mia the cat on a wall calendar under ‘Donnerstag.’ The sketch shows a simple cat face with pointed ears, round eyes, and a smiling mouth. Around it are playful doodles and words like ‘Tap Tap’ and ‘Tap,’ capturing a lighthearted, imaginative style. Mia, a tabby cat with vivid green eyes, sits on a houndstooth-patterned chair and reaches out with one paw to tap for attention. Her gaze is intent and slightly expectant, as if insisting she won’t be ignored

The absolute audacity of me to work, when clearly squawk. Didn’t I listen to her?
Close-up of Mia, an elderly tabby cat with striking green eyes, sitting proudly on a gray chair beside a wooden dining table. She gazes into the camera with a fierce, queenly expression, her posture radiating dignity and authority. A small round ID tag hangs from her collar, marking her as the ancient ruler of the household

Soooooo…
How many times more do I have to meet Knut until we both accept our fate?
A black-and-white cat with a pink nose is lying in dry grass, surrounded by weeds and plants. The cat is looking directly at the camera with a calm, slightly serious expression. Its white chest and legs contrast with the black fur on its back and face.

Mia knows this sucks, but she also knows you’re stronger than a depression. She believes you eat depressions for breakfast.
She sees you.
A close-up of a tabby cat with striking green eyes sitting upright on a bed. The cat’s fur is a mix of dark and light brown with white whiskers. Behind it is a gray headboard and some floral-patterned bedding. The cat looks alert and regal, staring slightly upward.

When that same bitch brings you fresh Burek as an appeasement offering
The same tabby cat in the same spot, mid-yawn with her mouth wide open, showing teeth and tongue, giving the impression of a cranky laugh after being disturbed.
