My giant floofball has crossed the rainbow bridge after a brief illness. It was quite sudden, he just seemed to have an upper respiratory infection but it quickly got worse and his major organs started shutting down ... he would have been 11 next month

RIP my Sammy, we'll miss you lots

This is my boys Sammy (has more white) and Dean. They're Maine Coon x brothers

Apparently, watching birdies is exhausting ...

Many more things blooming now, definitely warmed up a lot

Azalea + Spanish bluebells

Someone's being a grumpy pants ...

(that bookcase is 47" wide to give an idea of how large Sammy is)

My xygocactus usually blossom in November/December but last year nothing. Noticed last week that the small one was putting out buds. There's only 2 for sure but it looks pretty anyway

Back to the Future Delorean is here

Dean playing with a ribbon while enjoying his favourite part of Christmas - diving through wrapping paper and boxes

and now the inevitable smackdown begins ...

the look when you're busted taking pictures ... (that's Dean)

there be birdies outside ...

>25% done on latest x-stitch project, this one's going much slower than the tiger one - it has 26 shades of brown from lightest cream to almost black and some of them are so similar it's taking forever to relocate on. This is the top half of the pattern and cloth is rolled up ~20cm so top cut out

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #841,757!

I didn't think I'd been on here for a year but apparently I have. Enjoying here much more than the former place

Someone is sulking this morning because there's noisy machines outdoors and I'm not letting them on the catio (loud + dusty out)

This comic reminded me of @faineg.bsky.social thread on different pizza toppings around the world. Never fails to surprise me how strongly some people hate on others likes

It's a bit early but seeing as we've got dry weather for now I put the xmas lights up outside. Which meant digging out the xmas tree stuff too so started putting that up too. Dean loves "helping" with xmas tree decorating (I keep it up on a table so there's less "help" redecorating)

Had to get a new pair of shoes for everyday use but the boys are very happy to have a new box to sits in even though they just barely fits (that's Sammy, the 22lb boy who's >3ft long stretched out)
November 20, 2023 at 8:16 PM
Because apparently my new slippers are the best-est ever things to sleep on (according to Sammy)

Dean loves blanket season but now I'm stuck under a purring lump

I had this present on the kitchen floor this morning, don't know where they found it but glad I didn't see it moving first
September 18, 2023 at 6:58 PM
when you want to sit in the chair and your brother won't share - Dean (right) eventually got the seat to himself after the inevitable squabble

Not a very active poster but hi 👋 to Bluesky

My current floofs (in profile pic) are Sammy and Dean, Maine Coon x's and I usually post about them ... or my cross stitching ... or my titchy garden ... or complaining about the PNW where I live

Here's a bigger pic of the boys:
