This is Nimbus. He's a little sh:t. Not food motivated. Hates humans. Likes drawing blood. Wily. Perfect shop cat. Gorgeous. Look at that smirk - he knows I want to trap him for neutering and feels this game of wills is beneath his skill level. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #snowshoe #feral

Starting this one, I didn't like the protagonist and had zero sympathy for his drunken obituary writing ass. But I was so touched and crying by the end, over the growth of deep friendships and the realization that this, right here, is it. It's all we get. #booksky

Nimbus is always big mad and disgusted with humans. Won't eat if I'm in the area. Hugely fierce pugnacious 6-year-old child energy. Constantly affronted. But so so pretty!

This guy 🥰
Toaster is the friendliest and least spicy of the 4 Ellensburg fosters with me. He leans into head skritches and noms the churus from my hand like it's no big deal.

Security Chief Leon wants to know if I'm done with the crying and the laughing and the sighing and all those other human things so the skritching can resume. A truly wonderful memoir from Courtney Gustafson about cat rescue, community, and humanity. #cats #booksky #tnrworks #feralcats

Fostering 4 young male cats from a 100+ cat hoarding/eviction situation in Ellensburg. They are very timid but not feral. Working to see how they warm up to people. Toaster and Russell are relaxed enough to eat in front of me, and Toaster allows skritches. #cats #catsofbluesky #fostercats

Greeting the dawn this morning with Willie Wildman, Cherry the Arkansas Red Cat, Zorro El Tesoro, Pretty Pam Pinknose, and Security Chief Leon arrayed across the foot of the bed with the remaining 4 cats on the floor. Peter from IT and Squit are sort of visible. #cats #catsofbluesky

Absolutely nothing more relaxing than burrowing deep in warm clean laundry for #caturday

For #caturday, Gordon got frustrated with the balls not coming out and decided to gnaw the plastic determinedly. For over 5 minutes.

This month's CatLadyBox was the perfect orange cat theme, including The Brain Cell! Cherry The Arkansas Red Cat initially tried to load the brain cell incorrectly but eventually got it. #cats #catsofbluesky #orangecatsrule

When Cherry (the Arkansas Red Cat) has a confrontation with another of the #cats, she squinches her eyes closed and bats madly with her front paws at the space in front of her. Very like Arthur, sidekick of The Tick, whose battlecry is "Not in the face!"
Pam is nonplussed. #catsofbluesky #battlecat

Zorro El Tesoro and Peter from IT practice for their #napolympics mirror double event 🥹

#napolympics freestyle mandala event practice by Willie Wildman, Pretty Pam Pinknose, and Peter from IT. Peter loses points for his hind leg extension, and Pam for posterior orientation. Otherwise, an excellent effort by this team. #cats #catsofbluesky

I have levelled up my cat lady game. Last year, my Havahart traps didn't do great catching Sweetface, so I got a drop trap and transfer cage. Combined with the cameras on the deck, I stand a much better chance of success. #cats #catsofbluesky #tnrworks

Rhodie and forsythia. We are supposed to get a big nasty storm today with heavy rains and hail. Nice to capture these beauties before they get beaten up. #flowersky #spring

Sweetface saga: he's still an erratic visitor but has been coming around more often. Today he hung out on the deck eating snacks and getting high on catnip. Next week, I'll start trap-training and hopefully 2025 will be the year of his eartip! #tnr #tnrworks #cats #feral #catsofbluesky

Unclear what post-modernist figure Willie and Pam are going for here in the freestyle nap event, but 10/10 for the vibe. #cats #catsofbluesky #napolympics #advancednaptitude
