We lost our 10 year old cat, Skugga, Monday to cancer 6 months after diagnosis. He had a fantastic summer murdering things on his walks (leashed. He was a murderboss). He got a last day in the sun. And there is a hole in this household exactly his shape.

I challenged my students to dress up for extra credit, and I lead by example. (Also I love collecting the expressions from students as I march across campus. Some smile. Some whisper. Some--the few also in costume--make eye contact and nod knowingly.)
a blond woman wearing a tall witch hat festooned with feathers and a sheer veil hung with plastic spiders side-eyes the camera. Will she teach her writing class like this? SHE WILL.

National Black Cat Day! Tinycat & Murdercat share the cat-tree, a momentous occasion, b/c no one is hissing, biting, or fear-peeing because she's been pounced on by someone 2x her weight. (The very next moment, she started clawing the tree, and lo, those things came to pass, as foretold.)
The scene: a cat tree with several levels. A big fluffy black cat with green eyes sits on the penultimate level. His ears are back. Something is amiss! Below him, on the next level down and almost directly beneath him, sits a small, very petite shorthair black cat with wide yellow eyes. She looks like trouble.

Whether you protest or not on this #caturday, remember to take time to rest, and remember to bring your bestie.
two cats, one fluffy and black, and one fluffy and black and white, nap side by side on a bed, sharing what had been a pile of clean, folded laundry.

Happy monochromatic #caturday from the Patchwork Terror.

This floofy gremlin had a flawless dental yesterday. I just need y’all to observe how thick and deep his fur is. #caturday

On International Cat Day please have this slightly blurry photo of the kaiju in repose. #internationalcatday
a slightly blurry photo of two large fuzzy cats. The black one on the left is sprawled on a sheepskin rug beside a cat toy demogorgon. The black and white one is os jammed into a box with his paw hanging out to touch the black cat.

Both of my voids had stripes as kittens. Now Tinycat is turning reddish w/ black points (she’s 17). Murdercat’s just black with a smokey undercoat.
two black cats sit on a brown wood floor in front of a refrigerator. One of them is short haired and half the size of the other big fluffy one. They both seem unimpressed by the paparazzi.

A box and a new sushi: a good #caturday and a good birthday for the Patchwork Terror.

Tonight is a friend’s birthday party themed as a bacchanal. Greek myth costumes encouraged. I will be wearing this. Tinycat approves.
in the foreground: a Medusa fascinator headband with many handknit knit snakes in greens, orange and purples stuck to it. A small nosy black cat is sniffing it.

There IS a cat under all that fur. We have proof!

Murdercat doesn't seem to mind. It's hot. He has new ventilation. *I* mind b/c of what the ultrasound found. He takes his pills well, though, so one day at a time, until there are no more.
A handsome fluffy black cat with green eyes lounges on the floor, belly exposed. Said belly has a large hairless patch from having been shaved. The cat is not bothered.

It's #Caturday and also 20-odd degrees hotter than normal and the Patchwork Terror hasn't put away his spring coat yet.
In the sunny corner of the office sits a short grey cat-tree with a partial tube as its top level. A black and white cat lies stretched in that tube, with one hind leg outthrust from one end, and forepaws dangling from the other. He peers through a hole in the tube as if annoyed at the photographer.

A grey and rainy #Caturday. Tinycat and the Patchwork Terror share the view.
a four level cat tree stands in front of a window. A small black cat lies curled in a brown basket jutting off the second level. big black and white cat perches on the highest platform. An empty platform sits between.

Look what came in the mail today! The Martian Contingency (thanks, @maryrobinettekowal.com!) I look forward to a weekend of reading with Murdercat’s supervision.
A large fluffy black cat sits behind a copy of Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Martian Contingency, which is standing on its edge on a dark brown wood floor. Behind cat and book is the rest of a kitchen with white cabinets and an oven door visible in the background.

On the left: the Patchwork Terror and Murdercat, mostly BFFs. On the right, Tinycat, just turned 17 and half the size of the boys.
two big flufy cats, one solid black, one black and white, sit like fuzzy loaves beside each other on a white sheepskin rug. A very petite short haired black cat plays with a bright pink catnip fish.

Tinycat had all but 13 teeth (only has her two lower fangs and incisors) pulled because of stomatitis when she was...gosh, 10? 11? She's 17 now, doing fine.

This little gremlin is 17. She was just shy of 2lbs when we brought her home. At her heaviest, before the stomatitis, she was a scant 8. Now she's little-old-lady-cat, just over 6lbs. Louhi Philomena Hepzibah Rue.
a very small black cat glares at the paparazzi from her perch in a basket on a cat-tree. The basket is clearly meant for kittens, and it is also filled with toys. The very small black cat does not care: everything is her bed. a very tiny black kitten sleeps between two stuffed bears on a blue bedspread.
