Hannah the Cat

Hannah's mama here. I can't type the whole thread up again or I'll burst into tears, so I'll share what I wrote on my personal account - I had to say goodbye to Hannah yesterday. It hurts so much, not having her here.

She'll be sorely missed, by myself and by everyone who knew her.

Hannah the tortico cat, laying down on the arm of the couch with her paws tucked up against her chest.

new favorite spot to hang out: on the arm of the couch

i can see everything going on, and if i turn around i can see the outdoors and the birbs

and i can also easily hop down onto the couch and harass mama for lap snuggles

10/10 best perch ever

i swear, people will find anything to complain about

as long as you're comfy (and I'm sure your hooman makes sure you are), who gives a crap

cats can bunch themselves up into weird shapes pretty easily (i myself am part liquid) and that's prolly why your collar looks tight

haters gonna hate.

Hannah the tortico cat, curled up into a ball on her mama's lap with her head almost upside down.

i'm still here, y'all

mama hasn't had a lot of energy lately and has mostly just been playing games on her phone

but hey, that means bonus lap time for me so I'll take it

[Mama here - also, in Hannah's defense, her entire world had just been turned upside down after Rana's unexpected death, and Hannah spending a brief stint in the animal shelter because Rana's mom didn't want to take her and I was out of town when everything happened. Poor bitbit girl.]

Hannah the tortico cat, laying on the edge of a bed in a very cluttered room, looking down at Mo, who's sitting on the floor and looking up at Hannah. Hannah is... not pleased with Mo, to put it mildly.

he is one of mama's "remote" cats

probably because during the few interactions we had after Rana-mama passed away, I may have tried to bite him in the face

in my defense he deserved it for being in my space

like you can see here in this picture from three years ago

bad mo.

A black cat with mostly-closed green eyes and a barely-visible nubbin of a tail is curled up against Hannah's mama's leg. This is Mo.

so mama is visiting friends this weekend

and that means she's visiting with my bratty little brother from another mother, his name is mo

Hannah the tortico cat, sitting on the floor while her mama holds up an unfinished cross-stitch project of a picture of Hannah up next to her.

oh hey, mama is working on that cross-stitch of me again

i think it's a pretty good resemblance

though cross-stitch time interferes with lap snuggle time, boo

i found where mama's been hiding when she works from home!!

Hannah the tortico cat, laying in a desk chair with one front leg sticking out over the side of the chair.

it's throwback thursday! have a silly photo of me from a little over 8 years ago from when i stole tall mama's desk chair.

i look vaguely concerned. i don't remember why. then again, i always looked vaguely concerned back then

Hannah the tortico cat, caught mid-meow - she's saying "hey, jorts, take it from this former feral - indoors is where it's at"

jorts

my dude

take it from this formerly feral old lady who was an outdoor girl for maybe a year and a half before she said "eff this nonsense, now i'm an inside feral"

indoors is where it's at.

daaaaaang, gonzo my dude, you're FAMOUS 😻

Hannah the tortico cat, looking out at the backyard through the screen door.

today it was warm enough for mama to open the back door so i could smell all the smells and watch the birbs

is it springtime yet

Hannah the tortico cat, peeking out from a pile of blankets on the couch.

yesss. time for snuggles.

Hannah the tortico cat, looking at the camera and reaching one giant paw towards the viewer while Mama scritches Hannah's neck.

sorry i haven't posted much lately

mama has been doomscrolling a little too much lately

but i'm here and i hope y'all have a good caturday ❤️

exactly!

Hannah the tortico cat, burrowed under a blanket, with her back legs and tail peeking out and uncovered.

always gotta kick a leg (or two) out when I burrow.

Peggy goes to the vet regularly for check-ups due to her heart issues, and they're keeping an eye on her for any other issues that may pop up. Peg's humans keep me posted on how she's doing - she's still my old girl, even if she's not my kitty roommate anymore. ❤️

Hannah's mama here - Peggy does have some health issues, and Peggy's humans and I are doing our best to make sure she stays hydrated, fed, and healthy in her old age. (She's almost 18 and a half years old, one of the oldest cats I've known.)

Peggy, an orange tabby cat with white markings, zoning out in cat-loaf mode near a space heater. Her eyes are closed and she looks pretty sleepy, if she's not actually fast asleep.

peggy is definitely staying warm. mama gave her the bedroom space heater so she stays extra cozy in the laundry room.

so i dunno how many of my followers are dog people

but if you are a dog person, maia is a pretty cool dog

(she also has good taste in pillows, i like the dice pattern 😻)

oh no

oh no she didn't

peggy you did NOT just steal my mama and my bluesky account to post stuff on MY social media

An old, skinny orange tabby cat with white paws and white markings on her face stands with her front paws on the edge of the washing machine door. This is Peggy, and Hannah and her mama used to live with Peggy and her humans.

HI EVERYONE

I'M PEGGY

Hannah and I used to be roommates! I'm staying in her laundry room right now! Because the heat is broken in my house and I'm super old and get cold easy and I was shivering!

I LIKE TO YELL SOMETIMES because I'm deaf!

(I hope Hannah won't get mad about me posting here)

Hannah, burrowed under a fleece blanket in her mama's bed. All that's visible of Hannah is a tiny bit of tail peeking out from under the blanket.

yes i've been asleep in mama's bed all day long

hey, she's not using it, so finders keepers

Hannah the tortico cat, far from her usual space in the TV room downstairs. She's standing at the top of the stairs, looking into the kitchen while mama is working on making breakfast. (Hannah doesn't go upstairs often!)

waaaait a second

are you telling me this house has TWO kitchens

and the second one isn't also devoted to making me tasty food?

i feel cheated

Hannah the tortico cat, using her mama's hand as a pillow while laying on her lap.

mama's hand makes a good pillow.

Hannah the tortico cat, sitting on top of her favorite blue blanket (the same one she was napping under earlier).

yes i've been in the same spot on the couch all day

don't judge me

A cat's back legs and tail peek out from underneath a fluffy blue blanket with cats printed on it. Yes, that's Hannah, sticking her feet out from under the blanket - probably to keep herself from overheating.

gotta poke the toebeans out for temperature control

i love my mama ❤️

oh my god i wouldn't go outside even with a coat on today

this weather is nonsense
