We returned from the #SEA-MEOW cat convention with toys. Auberon took off with the feather toy after growling at the others to stay away. He's never been this possessive about anything, not even food! He was even growling at us! Then he tore it apart and moved onto another toy. 😆
#CatsOfBsky #catsky
Auberon, a gray tabby with white paws, chest, and muzzle, is crouched down intently focused on a green feathered toy in his mouth. He's in a room with beige carpet with a cardboard cat scratcher in the background.

I meant to post sleepy Auberon and his toe beans for #Caturday.
Auberon, a brown and black mackerel tabby cat with white paws, chest, and muzzle, sleeps curled on a purple and multicolored fleece blanket. His pink and black paw pads are visible, as he sleeps peacefully.

The #UncensoredLibrary was started back in 2020 by #ReportersWithoutBorders and #BlockWorks. It's a cool digital library safe from government #censorship.

www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl....
Below the view of the Minecraft Uncensored Library, it says, 'A GIANT virtual LIBRARY now exists inside Minecraft! It contains articles, journals, and press freedom reports from countries where media is censored or restricted. The design is elaborate - a grand neoclassical-style structure with halls dedicated to different nations. @ weirdworldinsta WeirdWorld"

Found this old pic from 2022. Piper and Auberon have pretty much hated or barely tolerated each other since they were kittens, but sometimes they almost seem like friends. #Caturday #CatsOfBsky #Catsky
Piper, a white cat with black markings, is cuddled into Auberon, a tabby cat. They're sleeping on a green white, and black plaid soft blanket.

My mother wore this pin on her lapel every day at work in the Pentagon. When she retired, it moved to her hat. Now, I wear it every year for her and everyone else affected by 9/11, especially the Pentagon. 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙
#NeverForget911 #September11th #UnitedInMemory
9/11 silver Pentagon Memorial pin with the US flag, bald eagle, and Pentagon in the design. It states in all caps "UNITED IN MEMORY" above the design and "SEPTEMBER 11, 2001" below.

Hoping the new cat tower will mean Piper spends less time on top of the cabinets.
So far, so good. #CatsOfBsky #Catsky #Caturday
Piper, a white cat with black markings, reclines in the hammock portion of a beige cat tower. Walls are maroon on one side and light gray on the other side of the tower.

Piper is just chillin' on the cabinets above the refrigerator. It takes some acrobatics to get up there, and her brothers don't even try.
So, she's happy.
Unfortunately, the acrobatics include jump on stove --> stove vent --> cabinets. This will go poorly someday. 🤔 #CatsOfBsky #Catsky
Piper, a white cat with black markings, lounges on top of white kitchen cabinets, peering down with a sleepy expression. Below the cabinet is a refrigerator adorned with colorful magnets, including Staq Wars cartoon characters, a poem, and a knitted Virginia Tech snowman head. A digital wall clock on the left shows the time as 3:38 PM on Thursday, with the indoor temperature at 74.6°F. The scene captures a cozy, quiet kitchen moment with the cat surveying its domain from above.

Seattle area peeps, I-5 will be painful this weekend, but WSDOT is trying to be cute about it 😆 🤣

Original post is here: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cgk...
(I keep FB to keep up with family and check for these types of updates)
An image of a map showing I-5 through Seattle with red arrows pointing north along the highway. There are cute animals with hardhats on the image, including a kitten in a teacup saying, "We're here to soften the blow" and a fox with hats on each ear asking, "Is it working?". Other text on written on the map says, "THE INTERSTATE IS CLOSED NB I-5 JULY 18-21". Text above the image says, "Read more about this project on our website: https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/revive-i-5-ship-canal-bridge-preservation".

I lean toward @altnps.bsky.social numbers. Not for sake of larger numbers, but for the sake of not just using registration numbers and such, which would seriously underestimate the totals.
Screenshot of a Facebook post by “Alt National Park Service.” The post reads: “We’re honored to announce a final count of 13.14 million in attendance across 2,300+ No Kings protests nationwide. It took a little longer to finalize due to the sheer scale, but the turnout was historic! So far, 71 MAGA agitators have been arrested, with 62 additional investigations still underway. We’re actively reviewing online threats and working on escalating where needed. If you see something, say something.” Below the main post, a comment from the same page continues: “How was the count conducted? Over 140,000 coalition members attended events across the country, at least one at nearly every protest. Many traveled far and got to see some amazing small towns along the way. Local authorities provided crowd estimates, which were then reported back and compiled for the final count.”

Luckily, Friday the 13th has usually been a good day for me.

Not today - funding issue news.

But this meme still makes me smile.
Illustration by Psycho Bitch Leu of three wide-eyed cartoon black cats peeking over a ledge, each with a curled tail and suspicious or startled expressions. Above them, spooky text reads: "FRIDAY THE 13TH is still better than Monday the whatever" There’s a spider hanging down on the right and cobwebs in the corners, adding to the eerie theme. The image has a playful, Halloween-like aesthetic.

Morpheus and Piper are dreaming of a happy #Caturday while holding hands. 💜
#CatsOfBsky #Catsky
A black cat named Morpheus and a white cat with black markings named Piper are cuddled together on a soft, multicolored blanket. Morpheus is lying on his side, with Piper curled up against him with her paws stretched out, gently holding Morpheus' paw. An inset zooms in on their overlapping paws, more clearly showing their intertwined and contrasting black and white paws

Now Auberon is glaring at Piper under the bed where she's growling at him. He wasn't even looking at her before she started growling. This will turn into a fight shortly. She starts half of them. ugh
The camera is looking down on a gray tabby cat on a mahogany-colored hardwood floor, crouched down, looking under a bed.

Happy #Caturday from Piper (white w/black), Morpheus (black), Auberon (gray tabby w/white).
#Catsky #CatsOfBsky #CatsOfBluesky
A white cat with black markings on her face, ears, and tail sits on a white shelf in front of a white chest of drawers. Two cats are on a bed in a gray comforter in a bedroom with green walls and black curtains. The black cat is lying down with a paw stretched out front. Next to him a gray tabby cat with white on his neck, chest, paws, and cheeks sits. They're both looking downward towards something next to the bed.

I know exactly how you feel, Auberon. It's only 8pm, but I'm exhausted. Curling up into a warm, fluffy ball sounds lovely. Purrr

I've shared this one before, but Auberon is so cute and almost innocent here. 🐈 😻
Auberon, a tabby cat with white paws and chest, sits perched on a worn Chewy delivery cardboard box, staring directly into the camera with wide green eyes. The background shows a kitchen with snack boxes on a counter and a dining area beyond.

Spread the word - PURPLE!
#PurpleUnified

The #Bothell #Mobilize rally organizer sent a message for people to wear PURPLE as a color of unification. We are all #Americans even when we don't agree. I'm pissed at almost half the country, but it's also true that we're #StrongerTogether.
#Indivisible 🇺🇸
Part of a message from the Bothell Mobilize organizer stating: "Because we don’t want to be a nation divided into RED or BLUE factions created by Trump. We want to be a PURPLE nation where free speech, due process and rule of law prevail . . and all shades of purple - from shades leaning towards red to those leaning towards blue - blend together to create PURPLE. Here’s my ask! Please send a text or email to someone(s) you know in another state and share “PURPLE unifies US!” as the color that reminds us we are all Americans. Then, by the next nationwide event, we’ll see folks wearing all shades of PURPLE, signifying the desire for a nation not deeply divided, but united by our love of democracy. Thank you! When working for change, we are always . . . Stronger Together, Carol S."

A GIF of a smiling woman with long blonde hair wearing a black T-shirt that says “Vox Machina” and a black hat with a D&D red ampersand. She is laughing joyfully and shifting side to side in her seat. White caption text at the bottom reads, “Me when its time to play DnD.”

Glad I checked email!
For those joining us for #MayDayStrong on May 3rd Bothell event at the 527/522 intersection from 11-12:30 - WEAR PURPLE. It will be another food drive, too.

There's a cycling event starting at 7am, so it'll be a bit crowded, especially for parking.
#Mobilize #Indivisible
Event details on a black background. It announces that Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson will speak at 11 AM from the raised platform on the southwest corner of the Alexan Building, where a percussion band will also perform. Attendees are asked to wear purple to represent unity beyond political divisions. The event combines a protest against Trump with a food bank benefit. Canned or packaged food donations can be dropped off at donation sites located at the four corners of the crosswalks across Hwy. 522, and at Boulevard Place front entrance on Main Street until 11:30 AM.
