Whatever the hair tie did, it’s purrsonal now.
Athena, a tortie cat with a half-and-half face and golden eyes, gives a beat-up lavender hair tie her fiercest, airplane-eared glare.

This cat is convinced that if she just cries pathetically enough, I will let her into the oven where the yummy smells are.

@thedarling.bsky.social Happy birthday, Eve! I have no art to share, but here’s a photo of two adorable cats.
Two tortie cat sisters sleeping with their foreheads pressed together so you can’t really tell where one ends and the other begins.

TEH LEGEND OF TEH YULE KITTEH

Today we said goodbye to our sweet Surya, who at the ripe old age of 18 went to be with her brother across the rainbow bridge. She was a cat’s cat, full of equal parts love and dismemberment, and we will miss her greatly.
An elderly torbie cat with green eyes and a sweet cinnamon nose winks at you as she dozes on a pale green towel.

A meme in which a white cat with a brown tabby mask, saddle, and tail is high-fiving a human. The text says “Damn straight! You go girl high five!

How ridiculous is this cat?
A tortoiseshell cat named Hekate, sleeping on her back with her chin in the air, her front legs curled up like a TRex, and her back legs spread wide.

If there’s one thing I can be counted on to provide, it’s cats.
A tortie cat named Athena, cuddled up sleeping on her side with her back half under a gray muslin blanket, her back against a brown cushion, and her front legs sticking out—one straight, one curled. Closeup on the face of a tortie cat named Hekate, mostly black with ridiculous orange “eyebrows.” She’s sleepy-happy with her golden eyes narrowed to slits and her mouth slightly open as she makes chatty little noises that sound vaguely like a duck quacking.

Meet Hekate, my spicy knife poppet. I’m not sure if her sister Athena is truly Everfamished or just likes to scream a lot for no particular reason.

Not sure this is only an ADHD thing, but whatever it is, I’m extremely attracted to it.

Athena and Hekate get snugglier and snugglier as the weather gets cooler.
Top view of a bed, on which are a white woman’s lower legs crossed at the ankles. On either side of her legs and snuggled against them are two tortoiseshell cats. The one on the left is more orange and looking off towards the distance. The one on the right is darker and curled into a tight ball between the legs and a tangle of white blankets.

I believe this is my Great-Uncle Fred “Doc” Vernon and his wife Clara in the late 1930s.
A woman in her late 30s wearing a white dress and holding a tabby cat stands next to a man in his early 40s wearing a collared shirt and overalls. Behind them there’s a sidewalk, a street, and a pair of houses with laundry drying on a line in between.

My mother’s childhood cat, Timothy Ticklepitcher, sometime in the late 1940s.
A colorized photo of a fluffy orange tabby cat with a white face, chest, and front paws sits on a linoleum floor with a beige, turquoise, and fuchsia geometric design. There are white cabinets in the background.

A screenshot from the Duolingo app, with one of the female characters from the Norwegian course saying “Jeg er nattens gudinne,” which translates to “I’m the goddess of the night.”

Hekate, a tortoiseshell yearling, is lying on a pillow with a lilac-colored pillowcase. She has one eye cracked slightly open, and is reaching forward with one paw that has claws extended.

Thank you! In gratitude, here’s a picture of my grandpa, Bernard “Red” Bossé, playing with a cat sometime in the ’40s.
Black-and-white photo of a white man in his late 30s/early 40s wearing a light-colored collared shirt and darker cuffed slacks and playing with a black-and-white cat on the steps of a house. The man’s hair is puffed up tall on top and shaved short on the sides. There are empty milk bottles on the porch.

My cats would like you to know that they are fierce.
Hekate, a tortoiseshell yearling with a mostly dark face and cute orange “eyebrows,” is looking intently at you with deep golden eyes while reaching a murder mitten full of claws toward you. Athena, a tortoiseshell yearling with a half-orange, half-black face is lying on a purple blanket and yawning ferociously so you can see all her pointy teefs and her frighteningly long pink tongue.

A screenshot from Duolingo Norwegian in which a character is saying “Jeg har ligget i sengen hele dagen,” which means “I’ve been lying in bed all day.”

Okay, back to cats!
Surya, a 17yo brown tabby/torbie cat, sleeps on the lap of a human covered with a fuzzy purple blanket. She is touching all her toes together and is extremely adorable.

I think Duo Norwegian is calling me out again…
A screenshot from Duolingo, in which a long-haired blonde man in an orange tracksuit is saying “Jeg har ligget i sengen hele dagen.” Underneath is the English translation: I’ve been lying in bed all day.

First post must always be cats. It is the way.
A tortoiseshell yearling named Athena, with golden eyes and a chimera (half black, half orange) face. A tortoiseshell yearling named Hekate, mostly dark with light eyebrows, curled up in her human papa’s arms like the baby she is.
