A black cat and a tabby lying head to head in the top back of a grey couch

A white air-filled cat outside a window. It’s raining rather than snowing, and there is a big green leaf inside the window.

Holiday Cat!

Happy festivuses for all of us!

…well sung… love that passive aggressive Canadian elbow energy!

A black cat laying its head on a human leg, facing away from a tv centre — the speaker and cords visible behind him — and with eyes wide open looking at my cheering.

Jays up, game 5, HeyBoo the cat, trying to chill, looking away from the tv, at me and my anxiety in the game!

It’s called a challenge!

Omg! Literacy is weakening amongst the masses. And creative thinking is losing traction in the world!

A black kitten sits up in its haunches on a grey striped rug and a blue IKEA shopping bag, looking out a French door. It has one paw resting on the door.

Gorgeous colours

From a black as night inside of a house, looking out through three windows — the left and right are open — looking out on a dawn or dusk view of a river, the opposite treed shore, with little pine trees appearing in the two side windows.

When inside
feels like night,
the outside
can show the light.

Now THIS looks like napping bliss.

A tabby cat lying in my lap of brown patterned pants and a grey shirt. He is snuggled into the triangle of my crossed legs with his head burrowed into my hand.

The best way to sleep apparently.

A graphic featuring the Canadian flag with red watercolor brushstrokes on the sides and a red maple leaf in the center, with the text "Happy Labour Day!" in red cursive writing below the leaf.

Happy Labour Day!
This is the day when we honour and celebrate the history of the Canadian Labour Movement.
Did you know Americans took the idea for Labor Day from Canada?
Or that the holiday dates back 130+ years?
This is the story!

Max, a black cat sits looking down on me as I lay in bed at night. Only it’s left side of its head (eye and ear) and a bit of his shoulder are in the shot because Max was so close to me I could hardly get my phone between him and my face. #cats #family #poetry

midnight reader

I slow blink
he’s
sitting in the doorway
looking
sitting at my feet
looking
sitting at my shoulder
looking

deeply through my eyelids
into the sleep fog
of my brain

best of dreams

goodbye Max

Black and white of a purple petunia. Looking from the ground up at the flower. Trees soar into the background on the left of the photo. #blackandwhite #photography

Goodnight Max

I wasn’t prepared
for how quiet
the world would be

or the house

I want
one more night
small creaking stairs
plaintive calling in the dark
meandering
in and out of the room
his feline adhd

No worries at all lol! It gave me a quick jolt into the day around me as I just coast around thinking of Max, I suddenly felt like I had some good thinking to do :-)

For a quick moment, me too 😬

Wow! Gorgeous!

That’s beautiful.
