Finally, here's Salty enjoying our evening routine. Climb in bed, yell at mom, make lap circles until mom plays Clowns in a Nem 1 hour on phone, hold hands, go sleep. I cry every time.
A woman in Halloween pajamas holds a tortoiseshell cat. The cat is watching a video of clownfish swimming on a cell phone in front of her. The woman is smiling and weeping.

There was stuff up here, but she knocked it all down to film her own My Immortal music video.
The orange and white cat lays listless, staring vacantly into space from the top of a wardrobe.

Tuna Fish is her usual wild self. Still scaling walls and knocking shit over. She is Baby, Destroyer of Things.
An orange and white cat sits on a bed, staring intently into the camera, pupils huge. You cannot see it in the photo, but her chest is wet from dipping her entire upper body into the water bowl.

Here's Pudding Cup, by the way. He has well-adjusted to life on the inside, gets almost as many cookies as he asks for, and is a big snug.
A grey tabby cat, one arm outstretched, sleeps draped over the chest of his person. A hand scritches his head while he snoozes.

We name all the neighborhood kitties who visit the porch PC names - no, not like that. Short for Porch Cat. And then we give them another, food-related name, that's long for PC.
A screenshot of a phone memo bullet list titled "Porch Cat Names." "Pork Chop," "Pudding Cup," and "Potato Chip" are crossed out. "Pickled Cucumber" is crossed out with a note reading, "an opossum." The names "Pie Crust," "Popcorn," "Peach Cobbler," "Pancake," "Pate Choux," "Punkin Chunkin," and "Philly Cheesesteak" remain unassigned. The final entry on the list is crossed out and reads, "Greta Garbo, only for a raccoon. Actually, every raccoon."

I'm sad and tired all the time. I think we all are. Anyway, here's one of my neighbor's cats who shows up for treats every day now. I love him.

Every night, Salty sits next to me in bed and SCREAMS until I play "clownfish in a nem 1 hour" on my phone, and hold her hand and scratch her chin until she falls asleep.

Tuna Fish knows nothing of jobs or contracts or "laws," whatever the hell those are.
An orange and white cat is partially curled up, with her back legs stretched out to meet her front legs. Her front paws are crossed. She is laying on a fluffy white blanket. Her head is slightly raised, eyes partially open, and she is glaring at the photographer from the side of her eye.

Everything is wildly bad, but every morning when I wake up, I find Tuna Fish has brought me this little heart toy while I was sleeping.

Thank you, kitten.

Still on my vintage Whitney kick.

I'm gonna need Law to put Zendaya in some looks from this era.

Also, this moment always gets me.

The back of a man's head, from behind his shoulder. You can see the arm of his glasses and the strap of his mask. He is looking at a crowd of people and a stage. A blue light above the stage illuminates a woman (Mary Bue) performing.

We watched the Exploits of Moominpappa episodes of Moomin tonight and played Unlock: Adventures in Oz in front of the fire tonight. It was a lot of fun.

I want to enjoy these moments and be present in them. I want to hold them so close to my heart.

This bench is very cold. I'll just say that.

How can anyone expect me to carry on under these conditions? It's unprofessional!

We are all doing what we can, but yeah, my Halloween tablecloth is still out.

At least Tuna Fish is cozy.

He's having a mid-life crisis and is thinking about financing a sports car.

Or he's trying to sleep, but the wind is blowing leaves around loudly outside.

I've heard it both ways, Gus.
Pudding Cup the grey tabby cat stares off into the distance from the lap of the person taking the photo. He has an expression of deep exhaustion.
