And now, the obligatory cat tax
An orange and white cat is deeply slumped in a cardboard box. She's barely half awake.

Looks like the Post Office is back to its Trump-era bullshittery. I live in NJ, so the package should never have left the state!
Screenshot of a package's tracking updates. It started in Lodi, NJ, went to Teterboro, then Kearny, then Iowa(???), where it arrived at Des Moines, departed, arrived again, and departed again. Screenshot of a package's tracking updates, part 2. It starts with three indeterminate "In transit" updates, then arrived at Jersey City, departed, then arrived at and departed from Kearny (again). It's still in transit.

This is Molly, enjoying cardboard and paper bags, moments before she attacked her own tail
An orange tabby and white cat is sprawled on a purple cardboard box and several small paper bags from the pharmacy. She's looking intently at the bag beyond her foot, but will shortly turn slightly and attack her own tail.

Here's Cecil in the middle of a grooming session
A tuxedo cat is caught mid-groom in an awkward, one-hind-leg-up pose. He's on a human bed with quilt and pillows.

Cecil has a bigger than usual blep right now, due to being drugged up for a vet visit earlier this afternoon.
A male tuxedo cat sits on light gray carpet and looks up directly into the camera above him. Part of his pink tongue is sticking out in a good blep.

Just told Vox why I'm canceling my subscription.

Here are Cecil and Molly (left and right), who hope you get better soon so they can get back to watching the squirrel outside that's scolding them loudly.
A tuxedo cat and an orange and white tabby are intently looking out a window; unseen, a squirrel is scolding them outside.

Well, okay, since you insist! The tuxedo gent is Cecil and the ginger tabby is Molly.
A tuxedo cat is lounging on a colorful quilt amd leaning against a small pillow. His legs are sprawled apart and he was definitely not grooming himself 5 seconds ago. An orange and white tabby cat is lying on a hardwood floor rabbit-kicking a stuffed pickle. Her tail is slightly blurry due to motion, and that pickle would be so dead if it were an animal.

This big boy had to get ear drops twice a day and ear cleaning fluid every other day for 2 1/2 weeks. He HATED it, to the point where he'd try to hide when it was time to get it. But at least he doesn't have ear infections in both ears anymore!
A large male tuxedo cat is comfortably curled up on the scale at the vet's office. He's alertly looking up and just to the left of the camera.
