Is this what it looks like when your cat is being consumed by a tribble and only his front legs and head are left?

There's so much fluff. And under the fluff, more fluff. Expeditions have been sent to find the cat under the fluff, but they've gotten lost in the fluff.

The fluff is sentient now.

A very very very fluffy golden brown siberian cat is lying on a sofa partially on a green throw blanket, white cat bed, and purple pillows. You can see his head and two front paws, but the rest of his body looks like a ball of fluff.

Anyone else wide awake and panicked only to discover the thing scaring you from across the room in the middle of the night was the #glowinthedarkyarn that does, in fact, glow in the dark?

#crochet is not for the faint of heart.

Who needs horror movies?

A pack of 5 skeins of glow in the dark yarn that are, true to their name, glowing in the dark.

Help! She's too cute! How can I survive #caturday with this much cuteness?

A lot happened in #NYC yesterday, but just noting that the leaves were falling UP off the trees, not down.

Also, some of our #trees are really striking in silhouette.

All in all, good job at doing November yesterday, Manhattan.

Avery blue sky is seen behind fall trees. Notably, the leaves falling off the trees were taken by the wond above the trees rather than falling to the ground. Some leaves in the air appear as various colors while others appear black as silhouettes.

Hi, Darth! Maisie and Sunshine say hello. Do not be fooled. Maisie only appears to be asleep. She is awake and ready to spring into action. Sunshine is trying to peer into your soul. He does that a lot. You get used to it.

A brown siberian cat is sleeping in a cat bed on the sofa unbothered by politics. She is on her back, giving a great view of he cute white chin and pink nose.

Make sure you consider your next move very carefully.... Cross him at your own peril.

Her brother is sick and getting meds in churu, but you can't give him churu and not her, so she gets extra churu whenever he gets meds. She's profiting off the illness of others like a health insurance exec. Totally enjoying her #caturday unbothered about it.

Look, the rules clearly state that when you've taken him to the animal hospital ER, you have to change the sheets (one of his favorite things) as soon as he is feeling better to make him as happy as possible. So relieved he is able to enjoy #caturday this week.

I haven't tried that kind, but this sacroiliac belt was magic when my lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint pain (which were agony with standing) started suddenly. Beware: you can become dependent on it - it can weaken those stabilizer muscles and make issues worse if you wear it too much.

I love early voting because I can vote on my mom's birthday to honor her. I remember her bringing me with her to vote from the time I was little. (It was a coincidence that my purple shirt matched the purple on the sticker).

Love you and miss you, Mom!

A round sticker with a blue background and purple empire state building with white text reading "Manhattan votes early where the "o" in votes is itself the old "vote NYC" sticker. The sticker is on a purple shirt that b6 coincidence matches the purple empire state building.

I don't know why I found this so striking when I looked up, but I had to capture it. It didn't seem real. I think something about the contrast of light and dark, of silhouette and color, caused a visceral response. Thought I'd share. Also, #birbs.

#fall #trees #blueskies #pigeons

A trees branches appear almost black against a bright blue sky. Pigeons sit on some of the branches and also appear black in this lighting. Some leaves also appear black while others appear green or yellow. The contrast of the dark and light is striking.

A close up (well, closer) portion of the previous photo highlighting some of the branches and pigeons.

Is he behind me? He's right behind me, isn't he?

I tried to get a photo of his toe beans. I really tried. So much toe fluffiness!

#cats #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

The bottom of a front paw of a golden brown siberian cat. The hair on the leg and surround the foot is lighter and golden, and the tufted hair and beans are darker brown or black. You can sort of make out one toe bean, but there are so many tufts of hair that it's hard to see the toe beans.

This boy is only still here due to that treatment! He has been disease-free for over 3.5 years after being given a prognosis of 35 days to live without treatment.
