Cats of Yore

Those eyes!! 💚

She is 8 lbs, so on the smallish end of the spectrum.

Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie she is curled up asleep next to me smooshed against my torso and left arm, and I’m wearing a black turtleneck sweater.

Francie: can I snuggle you and get white fur all over your black turtleneck?
Me: um obviously yes, always.

I love everything about this.

When I say "no date" I just mean that I have no documentation specifying a date. I can always make an educated guess based not only on clues in the photo but also the paper it is printed on, but I stopped posting those guesses because some people love to be contrarians and argue and it's tiresome.

Photo of a shorthaired tuxedo tabby sitting on a rug that is on top of a hardwood floor in a living room type setting. It is gazing upward at a television which is sat on an old sewing machine table. It is essentially the same as the previous photo it’s just taken from a different angle behind the cat instead of beside it.

I recently found this set of four photos in which someone was documenting their cat’s obsession with the television. No date/info.

I might be a tiny bit biased because I work there but I think Merrymac does some of the finest timeline cleansing on bluesky. A+ follow IMO.

Oh Jesus. The AI nightmare just keeps unfolding. ☹️

Oh sweetheart. ❤️ That incision looks amazing!

She’s so beautiful! And yeah, you can just run the cheaper antibody test again in a couple months.

That’s true for most of our goats and sheep (and pigs etc) but Fluffy and Ash really only overcome their anxiety for molasses and peanut butter, sometimes fig newtons.

🥰

And I tell them all the time how very very very brave they are.

Photo of a black and grey sheep with a white smudge on her nose. she is lying in a pen lined with wood shavings.

She LOVES these treats. I try to always have some on me for her and our one skittish ewe, Ash. www.giftsfromgoats.com/home/2018/6/...

🥰 Hugs to you!

Black and white photo of an older white lady standing on a house porch wearing pants, a plaid blouse, and her white hair puffing out from under a plaid cap. She is smiling at the camera and cradling a shorthaired tabby cat in her arms.

Look at these cuties. 💕 Photo from my collection, no date but the back says “Tiger and I on porch at home.”

No, I don't think so!

Black-and-white photo of a beautiful medium haired white cat, who seems to be standing with its front paws inside of a toilet bowl with the high legs up on the seat. It is looking towards the photographer as if caught in the act.
