An orange tabby cat sleeps with his face pressed against the leg of his human who is wearing red and black buffalo checked pants. His paw, with extra toes, is hugging the human’s leg. Warm and well-fed, he is at peace.

Closeup of the face of an orange tabby cat with a white muzzle. His yellow eyes are partially closed, giving an expression that clearly communicates he has no time for your shenanigans, human.

Happy Caturday! #caturday #catsofbluesky

An orange tabby cat rests his face against a pale skinned human’s leg, his eyes blissfully closed. His paws are seen in the foreground, gently crossed. This is the picture of temporary cat contentment. He is furry. You feel compelled to pet his furry belly. He allows this, briefly.

When you run out of energy, nap. Bonus points for napping with someone you love. Happy Caturday! #caturday #catsofbluesky

Setting sun over the ocean. A pelican is preparing to land on a concrete dock. There is a sailboat visible in the distance. The sky is blue, changing to gold as it meets the water. A few wispy clouds hang in the sky.

Close up of the face of an orange tabby cat, head pillowed against a gray couch, eyes half closed. He is tired of hearing about how dinner time is not for an hour; surely the humans can do something about the situation. In the meantime, he will lay here, wasting away in hunger.

Saturday, Caturday. Our old man has no time for your shenanigans. #caturday #catsofbluesky

Closeup of the face of an orange tabby cat. His face is resting on the leg of a pale skinned human. The cat’s eyes are 90% closed in a look of contentment. Cat does not listen to the news. Cat cares only that he is warm and fed and has humans to love him and do his bidding.

Contentment, as long as I don’t get up. #caturday #catsofblueksy

Sunrise as viewed from a sandy white beach. The sun shyly begins to emerge from behind stratus clouds, illuminating the sky above in gold and below in warm orange. Between the sand and the sky a narrow strip of blue ocean is visible. Silhouetted against the ocean is a small herd of Assateague Island ponies, facing away from the ocean.

It was soul-meltingly hot and humid but I am restored. This park is a jewel. I am grateful it is available for all of us to experience #assateaguestatepark #saveournationalparks

Closeup photo of the face of an orange tabby cat asleep on the leg of a human with beige toned skin. The cat dreams of a world where everyone is fed, warm, and loved, like him.

Sleepy boy.

Crochet IS the most punk of all fibre handcrafts. 🧶

As a fellow “camper,” I love these tiny glimpses into tramping life!

Because SCIENCE.

Ooh, there’s a jewellery week? Yet another reason to visit!

Something Steampunk-ish. Brass would be an asset.

Also, Proletariat Beagle would be an awesome band name.

Hooray for Junior Scientists!

Even us more senior scientists will use the SIS on occasion. Usually involving liquids of indeterminate origin.

The reappearance of the Scientific Investigation Stick is always a cause for celebration. And Science!

We should all aspire to be a Quince Lady in our twilight years. Delightful reading as always, George!

I love reading these tiny stories from NZ. Such a joy on this rainy Saturday morning.

I support your fringe marathon!

Three-quarters view of an orange tabby cat looking with disdain and disappointment at the camera. He is sitting on a white blanket. A grey sofa and white curtains are visible in the background. He has been fed but believes he deserves more food and that the human can be mind-controlled into providing more. Not pictured: existential dread.

He is not amused by your limited human conceptions of dinner “time.” Happy Caturday. #caturday #catsofbluesky

The weathered trunk of a fallen tree on a sandy strip of beach.

As always, your small stories from NZ are a delight!

Your small stories brighten my day amongst the chaos of current events. Thank you!

Picture of an orange cat laying his right cheek on a dark clad human leg and foot. His eyes are half closed. Grey sofa and grey fuzzy pillow are visible. He senses the human’s anxiety about the current state of science and is doing his best to provide comfort.

Big man is trying to snuggle his human, if only she would stop moving around. Happy Caturday! #caturday #catsofbluesky

Closeup of the face of a contentedly sleeping orange cat. His head is laying on black pants because that way he can transfer the maximum amount of cat hair to the human’s clothes.

Happy Caturday! #caturday #catsofbluesky

Orange cat with his eyes closed and face resting on the leg of his human. He radiates contentment. The background is a grey sofa.

Make sure to snuggle your loved ones at least once a day. Happy Caturday. #caturday #catsofbluesky

Closeup photo of the underside of the left paw of an orange polydactyl cat. The photo shows the fuzzy toe beans. The face of the sleeping cat is visible in the far back of the photo. The cat sleeps on a grey sofa. A happy cat who does not have to get up at 5:30am but nonetheless takes it upon himself to ensure the sleeping humans are up and ready to feed him at that hour.

Toe beans! Remember to nap, Bluesky friends. #caturday #catsofbluesky

Or two?
