Today’s cat is king of the charging station #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A soft gray cat lays possessively on top of a charging iPad on a wooden side table. A cactus shaped cat scratcher sits on the floor nearby. The wall behind the cat is deep red.

Today’s cat is a magic trick: black in front and gray behind (there are two cats in this picture) #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
Two cats play on the edge of a bathtub, partly behind a shower curtain. Because of the curtain, an optical illusion occurs so that the back of the gray cat looks like it is part of the front of the black cat, and there is a strangely elongated cat behind the curtain.

Today’s cat is contemplating pumpkins in the snow #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A soft gray cat with a thick striped tail gazes out a glass door. Beyond the door, a skeleton sits on the stoop with a pumpkin between its legs and a small iron lantern behind it. A bush with autumn colored leaves hangs above the skeleton. Everything is covered in snow.

When it snows before you get a chance to take the Halloween decorations down 🎃 (to be clear, most of them stay up all year, but I wanted to bring this guy in out of the weather so his animatronics last longer) #Halloween #FirstSnow #Ohio
A large animatronic plague doctor Halloween decoration with classic mask, black hat, black robe, staff and a raised lantern looms in front of a suburban garage. On the ground beside him, leaning up against the garage, is a pair of plastic skeletons. All of the Halloween decorations are covered in snow.

Today’s cat is another champion snuggler, rescued earlier this year by the good folks at @alley-aristo.org #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A sleek black cat lays on her back with her paws hugging the outstretched hand of her favorite human. The cat has a black nose and black whiskers, and is completely zonked out in her cozy space between her person, a red blanket, a glowing laptop, and a mouse pad with arcane designs.

For those who know I lost my sweet, incomparable feline companion of 12 years - the delicate fae cat, Bliss - I need you to know the folks at Chewy really understand their customer base

I changed her profile to a memorial & this arrived today.

Oh, my heart ❤️‍🩹 #Caturday #CatSky
Sympathy cards sit underneath a small midnight blue velvet pouch. On top of the pouch is a hand painted river stone with red and pink hearts. Central to the design is a name: Bliss

Today’s cat is a bright-eyed mama hanging out with her son #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky #Caturday
Two black cats perch on a tall wooden kitchen chair near a gray curtained window. Between the legs of the chair on a light gray mat on the floor is a stainless steel cat fountain. The cats are jet black with bright green eyes. The cat looking up at the camera has a splash of white at her throat and one white toe in the back.

Today’s cat is a sleepy baby #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A soft gray cat is fast asleep on a cozy red blanket. He has one paw tucked around his nose. The pale, thin fingers of the human upon whose lap he slumbers, lay tenderly across his shoulder.

Today’s cat is a loving mama and her grown-up son #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
Two cats curl up together on top of a dark red, plush blanket. The cat on the left is jet black with gold-green eyes. The cat on the right is soft gray with copper-green eyes. Both cats look incredibly comfortable.

Today’s cat is begging from his bowl #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A soft black cat leaning out of a plastic Tupperware container on a black granite kitchen counter. The cat looks plaintively at the person taking the photo. Off camera: the food bowl the Tupperware container used to cover to protect from other marauding cats.

Today’s cat is a happy snuggle buddy. #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A soft gray cat closes his eyes and smiles as he stretches next to his favorite human on a cozy bed. The human is wearing a black hoodie over a T-shirt with a Tolkien one ring design.

On the list of things that probably shouldn’t exist, but nevertheless do (most likely because of climate change) is this strawberry plant that has decided it will fruit … in November (I have kept this plant outside all season as part of my container garden) 🍓
A potted strawberry plant sitting among a swath of autumn leaves. In defiance of the season, it has a perfect ripe strawberry.

Today’s cat is very confused about what hour it’s supposed to be. More naps? #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A soft gray cat naps on a red and gold towel rolled up as a draft catcher in front of a glass door.

Today’s cat is a retrospective of companions who have crossed 🌈🐾 as this #Caturday falls on All Souls Day. They are ever in our hearts. #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A very fluffy black Maine Coon cat looks fierce as he is scooped up in the arms of a smiling human. This was Remy. He has resting ferocious face. A small and elegant black cat with an elaborate ruff of fur at her throat. She sits on a gray felted pad on top of a shelf. Behind her is an apothecary cabinet with a small sign that reads: Piss off, I’m busy. This was Bliss, the gentlest cat I have ever known. A black-clad human with pale skin lounges on a beige sofa. They wear sunglasses and appear to be napping. Stretched across their legs is a very dapper black and white cat with a black collar. This was Cornelius and he was my fancy, fussy gentleman.

Today’s cat is wishing you a haunted Halloween #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky #Halloween
A soft black cat peeks over a mounded brown comforter. His eyes are wide and he looks ready to pounce from behind his hiding spot. Out of focus in the background are several tall bookcases crammed with books and a large green scratching post in the shape of a cactus.

Today’s cat is practicing her gargoyle pose #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A white and black cat with golden eyes and long white whiskers peers down from the edge of a wooden cedar chest. The photo was taken from below so we can see a lot of white ceiling above her. One wall nearby is blue gray. A small set of wind chimes hangs above around mirror with antiqued gold trim.

She’s gone 🌈🐾
A little black cat curled up on a purple sleeping bag next to a staircase in a suburban home. Sun streams in from a window off screen. The cat’s gold green eyes are lambent in the light. Her name was Bliss & she brought much of it into my life. 😿

Today’s cat is having one last snuggle 🌈🐾 #CatBreak #BlueSkyCats #CatSky
A delicate black cat with medium length fur and an elegant ruff at her throat reclines on her favorite human. The human is covered in a midnight blue blanket to make things extra cozy.

This is a black cat appreciation post - oops, all Bliss #BlackCatDay #CatSky #NationalBlackCatDay
A fancy little black cat poses in front of an iron candelabra on top of a low bookshelf crammed with volumes of poetry. The wall behind her is a soft sage green. A little black cat balances on the top of an open door in a room with dark red walls. A little black cat with medium length fur and an elegant ruff at her neck poses on top of a box in a room with gray walls. A scroll behind her reads Happy Halloween. A little black cat with a sweet triangular face lays in a cozy blanket of fuzzy, deep red material. The cat is positioned in such a way that her body is reminiscent of a heart.

I have scheduled a very difficult appointment for my sweet, ailing familiar, Bliss

If I’m out of sorts or out of contact for the rest of the week, this is why 💔

Ye Olde Hitchhiker’s Thumb
Photograph of the hand of a pale skinned human. The four fingers are closed into a fist with the thumb extended. The joint of the thumb bends backwards to a nearly 90° angle. The wall behind the photo is painted a soft sage green.
