#Caturday report: a slight lull in hostilities last night when calico Mutsey and black cat Ninja briefly napped within 2-3 feet of each other.
Photo of two cats. In the foreground a black cat sleeps on a pink blanket draped over human lap. In the background, a calico cat is starting to doze off inside an open cat carrier that is partially covered with a blanket. The calico cat's eyes are still slightly open as she side eyes the black cat.

Belated #Caturday #FindTheCat challenge. Two cats in the photo. Answer in alt-text description.
A photo that shows a close-up of woven pink clothing in focus in the foreground. In the midground is the black plastic arm of an office chair. The background view of my home office is blurred. At the bottom of the photo some white whiskers and white and orange cat fur are just visible tucked into the pink cloth. In the background is the blur of a black cat's hindquarters and tail as she jumps out of frame in the upper right corner of the photo.

#Caturday report: Mutsey did not know about last weekend's time change. She was so concerned about not getting her breakfast at the usual time that she bravely ventured downstairs to the kitchen looking for her food.
Photo taken from POV of a human standing next to a kitchen counter looking down at her feet where a calico cat is staring up anxiously at her. The cat is standing on her hind legs, reaching her front paws up towards the countertop where two dishes have wet cat food.

#Caturday box seat at the dinner theater?
Photo looking looking down at a black cat sitting in a cardboard box in a hallway. She is watching a calico cat who is crouched in a doorway eating food from a white bowl laid on plastic placemat, because this is a classy place.

In this crazy world, here is the #Caturday sunrise over a kitty loaf.
Photo of a black cat kitty-loafing in front of a window. Her back is to the viewer as she looks outside, and she is silhouetted by the morning sun.

#Caturday report: the moment when both cats realize the other cat is there.
Collage of two photos showing nearly identical images with a close up of a calico cat's face peeking out from under a blanket in the left foreground and a black cat in the background right side sitting in the blanketed lap of a human. In the top photo the calico cat is looking forward, and the black cat has her eyes closed and her head slightly down. In the bottom photo, the calico's eyes have widened and she looks as though she's heard a noise behind her, but the blanket on her head blocks her view. The black cat's eyes have opened, and she's looking towards the calico who is invisible under the blanket.

Belated #Caturday report. Ninja and Mutsey briefly tolerating the sight of each other because breakfast is more important.

#Caturday report: we had visitors, so Ninja hid most of the day, and only re-emerged after the strange humans had left.

#Caturday report: in which I serve as a cat bed and head-scritch dispenser. (I missed posting last weekend because I went down to Chicago to see the Caillebotte exhibit at the Art Institute and the Japanese print exhibit at the Cleve Carney Museum - see bonus image)
Collage of 4 photos of cat faces. In the top 2 photos the black cat Ninja looks adorable as she uses my knee as a pillow. In the bottom 2 photos, the calico cat Mutsey looks derpy as I geve her head scritches. Collage of two photos of artwork. Top image is painting "Paris Street: Rainy Day" by Gustave Caillebotte. Bottom image is print of "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" by Hokusai.

Belated #Caturday report: We took Ninja for her annual vet visit on Friday. She has a new carrier with an easy-to-remove top, much to her chagrin.
Collage of two photos of a small black cat named Ninja in a cat carrier on a vet's exam table. The first photo looks through the open door of the carrier at Ninja huddled in the back looking concerned. In the second photo, the top of the carrier has been removed, and Ninja crouches in the base.

@czelticgirl.bsky.social You came to mind this morning because I'm 99% sure it was you whom I discussed this movie with back in the days of Twitter. I'm saddened to see that 88% of Flickle players could not identify it.
#Flickle #1195
flickle.app
Screen shot of my Flickle game results with title "You got today's Flickle!" A line of six squares with the first square green indicating I guessed correctly on the first film clip. Text reads "How did everyone else do?" with statistics indicating only 1% knew the film on the 1st clue and 88% did not know it at all.

#Caturday report: This past week was Ninja's adoption anniversary. My husband brought her home from MADACC on July 7, 2018.
Photo looking at the side of a staircase on the left and a wall on the right. A small black cat faces the camera as she sits very primly on the edge of a step in the opening between a banister and the wall. A poster for the Dropout TV show "Game Changer" hangs on the wall beside her depicting host Sam Reich as a magician with the tag line "He's been here the whole time."

#Caturday question: Cat or Tribble?
Photo of a black cat curled into a circle with her nose tucked her paws. She almost looks like a furry spherical tribble from Star Trek, except for the tip of her ear sticking out.

#Caturday report: Ninja watching the bird bath on the deck
A collage of two photos. On the left, a black cat stares intently out a window. On the right is a blurry photo taken through a window screen of a large grey plastic saucer full of water on a wooden deck with a solar-powered fountain floating in the middle of it. A sparrow perches on the rim of the saucer to take a drink.

#Caturday report: who says black cats are harder to photograph? 🤪
Collage of 4 photographs. The top two are blurry photographs of a black cat. On the top left she covers her face with her paw as she cleans herself. On the top right she sniffs the camera so her eyes and the top of her head fill the image. In the bottom left photo her face is more in focus as she hangs her head over the edge of a blue pillow and glares at the camera with hal open eyes. In the bottom right photo a calico cat poses adorably in a well lit spot holding a toy fish between her front legs.
