Nimbus, a small fluffy snowshoe cat glares out from his hiding place from atop a box on a metal shelving unit. His mouth is curved in a devious grin.

This is Nimbus. He's a little sh:t. Not food motivated. Hates humans. Likes drawing blood. Wily. Perfect shop cat. Gorgeous. Look at that smirk - he knows I want to trap him for neutering and feels this game of wills is beneath his skill level. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #snowshoe #feral

Cover of the hardback edition of John Kenney's I See You've Called In Dead - a novel. Dark navy matte finish with brass colored lettering, several of the letters incorporate newsprint clippings in the open areas (like within the D of Dead). Smaller print next to the word Dead says New York Times Bestselling Author of Love Poems for Married People.

Starting this one, I didn't like the protagonist and had zero sympathy for his drunken obituary writing ass. But I was so touched and crying by the end, over the growth of deep friendships and the realization that this, right here, is it. It's all we get. #booksky

Nimbus is a disgruntled snowshoe cat, pointed like a sealpoint but with a white face and white paws. He glowers over a plate of wet food.

Nimbus is always big mad and disgusted with humans. Won't eat if I'm in the area. Hugely fierce pugnacious 6-year-old child energy. Constantly affronted. But so so pretty!

He really does! There were several cats from this property with similar coloration - strong genetics at work!

Close-up of Toaster, a gorgeous ticked tabby with dilute coloration and big golden eyes. His muzzle is white and cream, so his whiskers freckles are very prominent.

This guy 🥰
Toaster is the friendliest and least spicy of the 4 Ellensburg fosters with me. He leans into head skritches and noms the churus from my hand like it's no big deal.

A US Navy aircraft carrier in the Red Sea fight just lost a third Super Hornet. The $60 million jet went overboard on landing. The F/A-18 tried landing on the USS Harry S. Truman but went overboard after the arrestment failed, a defense official said.

When the orcas up their game from sinking boats to stealing jets:

Security Chief Leon, a dark brown tabby, snuggles on a lap, looking imploringly up toward the camera. His person is holding a hardcover copy of Poets Square by Courtney Gustafson. The cover is pale pink with ombre rainbow cat figures scattered around the title.

Security Chief Leon wants to know if I'm done with the crying and the laughing and the sighing and all those other human things so the skritching can resume. A truly wonderful memoir from Courtney Gustafson about cat rescue, community, and humanity. #cats #booksky #tnrworks #feralcats

Toaster is such a great name 🤗

A young gray cat with amber eyes glares from a carrier. A medium haired pointed cat, with snowshoe or ragdoll type markings tries to hide alongside him. The text reads Gris Gris (Nimbus in the back).

A dilute ticked tabby cat drowses, eyes down, on a leopard print blanket in a large cage. The text reads Toaster.

A medium gray tabby with white on his face and chest lays with front paws tucked under. He has a pink nose and lovely ear Tufts. The text reads Russell.

A pointed cat with white on his lower face and paws like a snowshoe looks straight at the camera from within a large cage. The text reads Nimbus.

Fostering 4 young male cats from a 100+ cat hoarding/eviction situation in Ellensburg. They are very timid but not feral. Working to see how they warm up to people. Toaster and Russell are relaxed enough to eat in front of me, and Toaster allows skritches. #cats #catsofbluesky #fostercats

Happy Glorious You-day!!

A wadded up chocolate wrapper rests on a person's knee, their brown pants covered in cat hair. The upper face of an alert orange cat is peering from the near distance, sizing up the pounce opportunity.

The orange cat has pounced! We see a close-up of the wrapper between his paws, claws extended into the knee of his person, and on his face, a look of extreme concentration

A bit of a blurred paw action shot as our orange friend begins to play. His tongue is out and he is still intently focused on his wrapper prey.

Photo shows a bald eagle lying on it's back on some digital scales. The middle of the eagle is tightly wrapped with pink flower patterned cloth to keep it's wings still. The eagle does not look amused.

I've just found a clip of a wild bald eagle being weighed and can't stop laughing XD

All told, that's about 60 lbs of cat on the bed

A dimly lit shot of 5 cats at the foot of a king-size bed, viewed from behind. All 5 are facing away from the camera, possibly watching some other cats rumpussing on the floor. 4 are spaced evenly across the end of the bed, while Cherry, an orange tabby, sits behind them. There's another orange cat visible as a blur on the floor and a tuxedo cat on the floor at the corner of the bed.

Greeting the dawn this morning with Willie Wildman, Cherry the Arkansas Red Cat, Zorro El Tesoro, Pretty Pam Pinknose, and Security Chief Leon arrayed across the foot of the bed with the remaining 4 cats on the floor. Peter from IT and Squit are sort of visible. #cats #catsofbluesky

I think RHPS is it for me, though getting close with Rare Exports

A pile of clean warm laundry surrounds Squit, a tuxedo cat. His back half is buried in the pile and his front legs are extended like Superman flying.

A close up showing how deeply relaxed and asleep this tuxedo cat is.

Absolutely nothing more relaxing than burrowing deep in warm clean laundry for #caturday

Cherry, an orange tabby, sleeps with the sun illuminating her from the left. She looks like a classical painting in this light, her face in a warm glow.

I think it's important that you're informed that the executive branch ignored a supreme court ruling.

The only other president to do so was Andrew Jackson. The man responsible for The Trail of Tears.

That's where we are y'all.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Flyer called for protest at Renton drag story time, then the plot took a rainbow-colored twist Drag Queen Story Hour turned into a festival Saturday at the Brewmaster's Taproom, where the owner keeps a poignant reminder of "what intolerance looks like."

It was very cool to be part of the crowd of allies at Brewmasters Taproom on Saturday afternoon! The angry hateful protesters didn't show up, but a lovely bunch of folks wearing rainbows did:

When I drove Cherry from Little Rock to Seattle a few years ago, I took so many hotel beds apart to pry her out. Leashing up is a great idea.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

A cat tree next to a window with sunshine streaming in has two tuxedo cats (Willie Wildman and Pretty Pam Pinknose) squeezed into the top circular bed and an orange tabby (Gordon DataDude) in the next bed down. Adjacent in a square floor lamp with open shelves, and another orange tabby (Peter from IT) on the shelf just below the bed containing Gordon. All 4 cats are basking in the warmth of the sunbeams.

Multilevel sun-day #cats #catsofbluesky

For #caturday, Gordon got frustrated with the balls not coming out and decided to gnaw the plastic determinedly. For over 5 minutes.

Cherry, an orange tabby cat, sits on the plush orange brain cell toy, looking moderately determined.

Adorable orange plush toy brain cell. With an oval center and six fuzz tipped axions visible, it has a sweet smiling face.

This month's CatLadyBox was the perfect orange cat theme, including The Brain Cell! Cherry The Arkansas Red Cat initially tried to load the brain cell incorrectly but eventually got it. #cats #catsofbluesky #orangecatsrule
