Hi friends! Long time no see no see. I’m gonna be at #gencon this year and would love to see friends! Ping me if you’ll be there and want to meet up!

Here are the cats who are not going to Gen Con.
Two cats curled up on a sofa that looks different from the sofa you’ve seen before, because it is new and I haven’t posted in a long time. The black cat is roughly triangular shaped with all his feel in a point, and looking at the camera like “well, I was trying to sleep here.” The gray and white cat is curled up on her back, smashed into the corner between the black cat and the sofa arm with her head on the black cat and looking at the camera like “wut”?

I have mostly not been here but here are some cats. Yes, plural.
The round backside of a black cat is partially visible but his front half is cuddled up under a blanket fort built out of a blue fuzzy blanket and an inexplicable lich-patterned throw pillow. Deeper in the blanket fort, the gray fuzz of a second cat butt is barely visible.

I sit down for five minutes of meditation and this happens.
My lap, seen from above. My legs are crossed. There is a black cat curled up in my crotch, and a gray cat sitting perched on my right thigh, looking up at me with beautiful jade green eyes.

Yesterday's #Caturday lap.
Two cats lounging on a fuzzy red blanket draped over my legs. The little gray cat on the left is mostly loafing, facing away from me. The black cat on the right is sprawled out, one leg sticking up and his tail flopped over in front of the gray cat's face. They both look very cozy and happy, because they are. My legs are very warm.

Cozy #caturday night
Two cats cuddled up together on a fuzzy red blanket. They’re both shaped like beans with ears, all smooshed up against one another. No feets, tails, or noses to be seen.

Result of isolating on the third and fourth floors of my home.
A screenshot of a health app measuring average flights of stairs per day. This past six days average 19 flights per day, compared to a previous average of 5.

I told the barista I was having a poopy day and they made me the most over the top hot cocoa. 🤩❤️❤️‍🩹
A ceramic mug filled to the brim with hot cocoa, a heap of whipped cream piled precariously on top of that, and a riot of rainbow sprinkles.

Behold this silly Nanna. #mlemsday
A gray and white cat lying belly-up on a coarse-knit cream-colored rug. Her back legs are splayed and her front paws are clasped together As if she’s holding a toy, except she’s not. The slightest blip of a pink tongue sticks out as if she were about to lick the toy that she’s not holding.

And no, stopping is not permitted.
The same black cat post-scratches, looking up with a forlorn expression and reaching out with one hyperextended paw as if to demonstrate the behavior he wants me to perform.

Sweet Baldr hasn’t gotten to see much of it while I’m isolating from the rest of the house. He’s very happy to spend some time and get cuddles.
A black cat enthusiastically leaning into collar-skritches.

Baldr, a black cat with yellow eyes, sits in a box looking up over his shoulder at the camera with a slightly guilty expression. His box is nested inside another, larger box.

Today I’m appreciating this coffee carrier for two. It lets you get coffee for a friend and still have a hand free to open doors and junk.
A cardboard drink carrier designed to hold only two beverages instead of four.

Been away from home, back with the adorbs today.
Two cats cuddled up into indistinct blobs. The black one is truly a blob. The gray one is mashed up against him and you can see her ear, tail, one eye and a bit of nose pressed against the black cat. Behind them is the inexplicable licensed home goods of a D&D throw pillow and woven lap blanket. You absolutely can’t see the reflection of my Xmas tree in the window glass and I won’t apologize for still having it up in late January.

Some days it’s just really hard.
Two cats lying quite flat on a fuzzy carpet. Neither wants to even lift their head off the floor.

This is the face of judgement. (He knows I’m going to work today.)
A black cat lying on the floor, looking at the camera with a mix of accusation and concern.

Baldr’s helping me with some revising on this fine #Caturday.
A black cat lounging in a tangle of fuzzy red blanket. Between us is a partially closed laptop. The cat is not helping with anything, but he is adorable and warm.

Last night’s cuddle pile.
A black cat and a gray cat lying on a brown chair with inexplicable licensing decisions of D&D throw pillows and a non-matching D&D throw blanket on a brown chair. The cats are tangled up with each other in an indecipherable puddle.

Bean pile
A close up of a black cat in some incomprehensible configuration. Two feets are beans-up, making a little jumbled mess of black beans. I don’t know which feets they are, either.

Nanna has discovered the box.
The black cat is looking up from the box with huge “gonna pounce” eyes. The gray cat is in the foreground, sitting on the floor, watching him.

Home from a week away and opening all the boxes that arrived while we were gone.
A black cat sitting innocently(?) in a cardboard shipping box with the Target logo on it. Unfortunately the box is fairly large so there’s no adorable cat-smooshing-to-fit-in-box going on. You can tell the cat lives in a nerd house from the commander decks showing in the cabinet behind the box.

Now it’s bath time.
Now the black cat is giving the gray cat a bath with a long pink tongue.

More #caturday
The cats are both curled up on the sofa. This time the black cat is resting his head on the smaller gray cat, though the gray cat is very round, making them look almost the same size.

Cozy #caturday
Two cats cuddled up on a fuzzy red blanket. The larger black cat got there first. The smaller gray cat is draped across the back of his neck. Her expression seems annoyed that her pillow has moved somewhat.

He does not mind if you pet the beans.
The same black cat curled up in the same way. A pasty, Seattle sun-deprived hand (last night’s dinner-casualty burns not visible) pets the cute little black beans. The cat does not care at all.

Today’s instance of “behind you” foot.
A black cat curled up on a dining room chair. One ear sticks up from behind, and one foot sticks out from underneath the opposite side at a seemingly impossible angle. How is he doing that?? How is it comfortable??
