He is Up to Stuff
Turkey, a three legged orange cat, lies flat on his back on several blankets on top of an ottoman. His tail and back leg are stretched straight out, and his front paws are vaguely tucked like a bunny. He looks drunk A close up from above of Turkey the cat as he gets his fluffy chest gently rubbed. He's making air biscuits with his front paws and his head is lolled happily to the side. He can barely keep his pretty green eyes open

Then last week I saw a piece of @jortsthecat.bsky.social merch at the local Animal Care & Control and went "welp, that guy's gotta come home." Anyway here he is: six years old, two months into life as a tripod, longest resident of animal control no more. Meet Turkey, whom I could not possibly rename
Meet Turkey, an orange tabby cat with white cravat, white paws, one and a half ears, and pretty green-gold eyes. His tail has pronounced white stripes at the tip, and he's growing his fur back after his back left leg was amputated (he's doing great!) Turkey the cat lies on his left side on an ottoman draped in blankets, his back leg stretched out behind him with his tail wrapped around it, and he makes happy air biscuits with his front paws. His head is tucked upside down and his eyes squeezed shut. He has settled himself right in

I knew the house needed someone else besides me in it so I wouldn't drown in despair, but I couldn't and still can't conceive of any creature, human or cat, that could measure up to the standard set by a slightly tyrannical three legged stripey gremlin
Gus the cat sits on a green sofa next to a blue tartan blanket, licking his lips and gazing yearningly and expectantly at an off-camera Churu treat

I knew I would adopt another cat at some point, but the loss of Gus cut me off at the knees, in the midst of a family situation that can only be described as a slow-moving trainwreck that has no end in sight for years to come. He was my best friend, my comfort without fail
Gus the cat lies on his back on a colorful rug, showing off his fluffy white tummy, gray paws, and noticeable absence of back right leg. A dozen of his approximately 300 cat toys are scattered on the floor behind him

My best, most perfect, most beautiful, most wonderful boy in the whole world, Gus, passed away July 1 after his cancer returned sooner than I hoped. I was and am filled with grief beyond words. How dare such a small creature leave such a chasm in the world.
Gus, a lynx point Siamese cat, has draped himself practically across my face while I try to nap on the sofa. He gazes upward with beautiful blue eyes, blissfully unaware that he might be in the way

This is hardly the most urgent problem in the world at large but my perfect beautiful large cat has injured his remaining back leg and is in a lot of pain and it will be at least a few weeks before (if?) he starts feeling better and I need someone to fix it immediately or I will implode
A large white and gray three legged cat lies on his side on a cat bed with a blue blanket on it. Even when he doesn't feel well and has needed a bath three mornings in a row which has traumatized us both, he remains unbelievably handsome and soft A white and gray three legged cat with a striped tail and forehead lies on a handmade quilt, using a brand new catnip banana as a pillow and, devastatingly, not as a toy

Absolute most perfect round baby in whole entire world
Gus, a three legged Siamese mix cat with gray and tan stripes on his legs and tail, lies curled up like a shrimp on a blue blanket in his round heated cat bed. One patch of fur on his back is darker than the rest, from where he was shaved for surgery last year. The cat bed also contains a mere fraction of his 314 cat toys. He has literally no problems in the world (apart from the three legged thing) Gus the cat lies flopped on his side on the rug next to my yoga mat. He is showing off an increasingly plush and fluffy round tummy, as well as a marked absence of back right leg. He has just been lolling on the patio in the sunshine and is now back inside, sun-drunk and happy. He has never had to resume leg day after skipping it for several weeks due to The News and also Too Tired, and he will not be sympathetic when I hobble around complaining tomorrow

Never coming home
A photo of me seated at a beach bar, grinning at the camera and gesturing towards the largest and most beautiful and most delicious frozen pina colada the world has ever known A photo of me sitting on a beach lounger with the turquoise Caribbean sea behind me. I'm wearing a blue and white gingham swimsuit and aviator sunglasses, I'm giving the camera a dorky thumbs up with one hand, and in the other hand I'm holding the skewer of frozen grapes that an incredibly handsome Frenchman named Lucas just brought to us on a platter Back at the beach bar, my pina colada of dreams has been joined by a plate of fish tacos for me and red snapper for my sister and we are both deliriously happy

I live here, also I went paddle boarding in the Caribbean sea just now
A braggy photo of me seated on a fancy turquoise pool lounger under a turquoise and white striped sun umbrella. I'm wearing a red swimsuit and straw hat, holding a delicious tropical cocktail, while a poolside lunch waits on the small table next to me

As previously mentioned, these last two months have been Rough™️, but my sister and I are currently on our 40th birthday trip and you can't tell me NUTHIN, it's silk pajamas and pool and beach o'clock babyyyyy (pssst thank you @everywhereerica.bsky.social )
A photo of me wearing navy silk pajamas from Lunya, with the sun rising over the Atlantic ocean behind me It's golden hour baby: a full length photo of me standing wrapped in a resort towel on a beach at sunset, with clear Caribbean waters behind me. I'm slightly drunk and very happy A photo of me swimming past the camera in an infinity pool, again with the Atlantic Ocean behind me, again incredibly happy and slightly drunk

Would like you to know that lately he has been rising up on his single back leg while playing, he is an athlete and an American hero
An action shot of a three legged lynx point Siamese cat chasing an orange toy on a string. He's on a boldly colored rug, tail straight out behind him. He is in the act of rising into the air on his single back leg to bat ineffectually at the toy with his front paws, jaws open to chomp the toy with his four remaining teeth (he will fail).

Just tipsily telling him how perfect he is
Gus the three legged lynx point Siamese cat stares at the camera both lovingly and worriedly. He wants both dinner and cuddles and is not sure which is of paramount importance

I have been Going Through It the last month and a half and he's just his unflappable snuggly self and I love him a lot
Gus the lynx point Siamese cat lies next to me in bed resting his head on my arm. His blue eyes are half closed, and he's gazing at the camera sleepily and contentedly

I just think he's neat
Gus, a three legged lynx point Siamese, reclines on a cardboard scratcher and chases a ribbon toy on a stick. His post-amputation diet has done nothing to diminish him. He is somehow both alert and lazy, demonstrating his favorite position for hunting: fully supine.

I'm obsessed with this entire Trashy Diva collection, but the Garbo coat has me contemplating fiscal irresponsibility trashydiva.com/collections/...

He wants you to know he's working really hard at regrowing his fur after his surgery
A three legged lynx point Siamese cat sprawls on a boldly colored rug near one of his toys. He is doing an excellent job of regrowing his fur after his surgery haircut Gus the three legged lynx point Siamese cat sprawls decadently on his back on a rug in the sunshine. His front paws are tucked up like a bunny and his white tummy is extra fluffy
