Living on the Atlantic coast makes a bitch salty.
That orange weather warning in Dublin last night was no joke; the wind was super-strong and it was pelting rain. Worth getting drenched and nearly literally blown away to see The Last Dinner Party live tho. Divorce was an excellent support act too.

Despite his chonkyboi concerns, and after several days of concerned investigation, Smudge has learned that he does indeed fit (on all the beds and platforms and in the little houses) on the new, bigger cat tree.
So here he proudly sits, a smug Smudgey.

Smudge is very interested in what you have to say and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Happy Monday! I'm on a comfort reading kick so finally started book 7 of Dungeon Crawler Carl: This Inevitable Ruin. Pathos, silliness, action and heart. Sure what more could you want?

Now that she's grown past her shred all the things phase, Kaliyo has developed an interest in guarding the bookshelves. Amos would be proud. #cats

Oh yeah, I made the ramen. It's fucking delicious! (Also lol at that one shiny egg yolk, it was not brilliant white IRL)

Kaliyo would like to know if you have games on your phone.

HOW DARE I SNEEZE IN HER PRESENCE? HOW VERY DARE?!
(I don't enjoy having Covid again either, Kaliyo!)

Smudge would like you to pet his belly, pls. This is not a trap, he promises.

Kaliyo's full name is Pretty Pretty Princess Kaliyo the Most Supreme Yodeller. Her foster mom had originally named her Snowbell. I reckon there's some Moogle in her too somewhere, especially when she's asleep.

Ever had your cats glare at you like you're some two-bit paparazzzo when you take a pic of them because they were being cute? Welcome to my world, and happy Caturday.

Katherine Ryan is very fucking funny, and even took an extended interval to do her local research. That's dedication!

Happy #Caturday from Smudge who is still chuffed about being a mascot for the #TournamentOfBooks yesterday.

Kailyo crashed out this afternoon after a hard morning of shredding paper and grooming her brother. She's too tired to be elegant. Bonus: toe beans!

The pretty pretty princess built herself a cozy little throne and then huffed at me because I didn't help. How's your weekend going?
February 15, 2025 at 11:53 AM
Aw hell yeah

Crying my way through The Elephant Man as usual when Kaliyo came flying in and threw herself at the night watchman and drunken gawkers. She bat-batted them furiously and also yelled at me to help. This is her being disgusted at me for simply bawling in my armchair.

Over here dying laughing at whoever edited wikipedia to include "geebag" as a synonym for fanny pack/bumbag.
Narrator voice: That is not what "geebag" means. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_p...

Built the Lego tuxedo cat in honor of Amos and put it at his favourite hangout spot 💞

Still laughing at the photos I took of Smudge and Kaliyo after I had the nerve to switch on the light in my bedroom and interrupt their nap. Real "Awkward Family Photos" vibes, with added murder-y glares.

Coffee nerd alert! This tasting was a lot of fun playing spot the difference in decaf processes. Big ups to PS Coffee Roasters for getting beans to me in loads of time.

Did the variety gamer score thing and got 62 out of 100 mostly because I am old and have been playing video games for a little over four decades 😅

Kaliyo has taken to yelling at me to switch the projector on as soon as it gets dark here. She settles herself on the couch as soon as it's on. I've had cats who liked to watch some things before (c/f Smudge with anything that has Andrew Scott in it) but this is a little ridiculous.
