Yeah, those two love hanging out together and snuggling close. 😻

Bryan (a long-haired orange tabby) on the blanket on the 4-season-room couch getting ready to move somewhere else as I was attempting to take a photo of him, a regular thing he does (April 2025). 😻

Bryan looking at me lovingly, though not quite looking at the camera, as we were being lazy one cold day (Dec. 2024). 😻

Bryan snuggling with Joey (a short-haired white-and-black cat) on the floor behind the 2 large cardboard scratcher/houses and enjoying the sunshine (Sept. 2025). 😻

Bryan enjoying some quality time with Fiona (a tortie-point ragdoll mix) on the bed on a cool winter day (Jan. 2026). 😻

Bryan is wishing you a beautiful #Caturday with all the relaxation you want, great buddies to spend your time with, amd lots of fun! 😸 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Tonight is not just a regular #CaturdayEve at our house; it’s a momentous & very special day because our wonderful, sweet, beautiful Bryan is 20 years old!! We are so happy & proud he’s made it this far & is still just doing his thing. We love you very much, Bryan!! 😸🎂💜💛 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 3/3

A pic of Bryan on the bed near an old towel they all love to lay on just after his dinner earlier - he was ready for his nap and was annoyed with me bothering him for a pic (March 6, 2026). 😻

A classic pic of Bryan when he was just 8 months old and only a little over a month into his tenure with us (Nov. 2006). 😻

Thanks - we agree! She’s beautiful and the sweetest, softest little lady. 😻

Millie (a long-haired dilute calico) enjoying the sunshine on the little ottomans under one of the 4-season-room windows on a nice spring day (March 2025). 😻

This is a nice close-up our cat sitters took of Millie in one of the cardboard cat house/scratchers - she’s just so photogenic (June 2025)! 😻

In this pic, Millie was relaxing and enjoying some time in one of the upstairs extra bedrooms that we normally have closed off - it was open since we had just adopted Lucy and she was being let out to explore the house during the first week (Aug. 2025). 😻

Today is a super special #Caturday, because it’s the 7th birthday of our gorgeous, feisty, snuggly, and sweet Mildred (aka Millie)!! We love you so much and are so glad you’re part of our family!! Happy birthday, Millie!! 🎂😺💜💛 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats 2/2

Like several of our cats, Millie (a long-haired dilute calico) loves laying on fresh towels when I have them on the back of the toilet prior to using them for my next shower, and here, she looked absolutely perfect on my bright purple towels (May 2025). 😻

I absolutely love this pic of Millie in the middle of playing and scratching on the new short scratcher we got for the dining room - she gets really excited and goes nuts for scratching posts like this one (Jan. 2026). 😻

Millie loves to lay on hard surfaces like tables. In this pic, she took over my tray table, like she often loves to do, but with such an adorable face, who could refuse to let her do what she wants (May 2025)? 😻

Seems to be the pattern…

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

While the concert started with Trent alone on the B stage right near us, he was later joined by all his bandmates there, except for Josh Freese, who absolutely killed it on drumset.

NIN (except for Josh Freese) playing “Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)” from the B stage before they made their way to the main stage as Josh Freese played one of several killer drum solos.

The whole band on the main stage performing in the early part of the show. I was rather impressed that my iPhone camera got this clear pic, given how rapidly the lighting changed throughout.

The whole band on the main stage performing “Mr. Self Destruct”.

Seeing Nine Inch Nails in concert last night was a bucket-list show for us, & we were absolutely blown away by NIN’s sound & visuals. It was so impressive - we will definitely see them again if we get the opportunity! 👏🏼👍🏼🎸🥁🎹 #STL #NIN #PeelItBack2026 #LoudestConcertWeHaveSeenSoFar #WorthIt

I felt the need to post this on FB in response to a friend’s post about why he couldn’t understand why applauding the US Men’s hockey team was so bad during the SOTU. He has made numerous similar posts acting like he’s oblivious to everything happening, and I just had to say something this time.

Yeah, and they all have such unique personalities and quirks, too. 😸

Yay! Congratulations! 🎉 Lily is adorable (Otis is, too)! 😻

She is quite cute and a little stinker, but she is a cat, after all. 😻

Thank you - we agree! 😻

Lucy (a short-haired torbie) just looked so adorable on one of the dining room chairs that we pulled out to clean the floors that I had to stop my mopping to take a pic (Sept. 2025). 😻 She seems to be a rare cat who is not afraid of the vacuum.

Lucy enjoys playing rough, whether that’s with toys/cat furniture or with some of her kitty siblings. Here, we caught her in the middle of wrestling the old 2-tier scratcher in the dining room (Nov. 2025). 😹

Lucy loves her big brother Joey (a short-haired white-and-black cat) and regularly curls up with him now, like she was doing here on the basement loveseat while we worked out on a cold winter day (Jan. 2026). 😻

Lucy frequently jumps on top of our toilet topper cabinet in our main bathroom, whether we’re in there for a brief amount of time or longer, like when we’re showering. Sometimes she gets so comfy she falls asleep up there, whether she’s standing up or laying down. This pic is from last night when she was falling asleep while still on her feet (Feb. 2026). 😻

Lucy is wishing you an awesome #Caturday with all sorts of interesting and fun activities to enjoy, and plenty of rest and relaxation, too. 😸 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

After the Supreme Court ruling, @JBPritzker writes a letter to Trump asking him to pay back the costs of the tariffs to people in his state:

"On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois."

Includes a mock invoice:

The genx urge to watch the stoic squirm…

The ones we’ve gotten haven’t specified a number. At first when we got these, we joked with them and said, “Sure - we’d love to sell!” Then we’d proceed to give them some outlandish number way beyond what our house is worth, just to mess with them. 😹

Yep - we get those texts from people interested in buying our house all the time. No amount of spam reporting, blocking or telling them to F off stops these texts. 😡

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

how we got here

She really is! 😻

Phoebe (a long-haired calico) was so beautiful in the sunshine on the small cat tree that I couldn’t resist taking a photo (March 2025). 😻

Phoebe has enjoyed snuggling with her brother Joey (a short-haired black-and-white cat) since they were kittens and it never gets old looking at this adorable duo together, like in this instance when they were snuggled on our bed together on a cold winter day (Dec. 2024). 😻

I walked into the bedroom one day and caught Phoebe not only hanging out next to sleeping Millie (a long-haired dilute calico), but also holding paws with her, as they shared space on a freshly washed and folded towel (Oct. 2025). 😻 Too cute!

Phoebe, like her brother Joey, has welcomed our newest cat Lucy (a short-haired torbie) into our home, and they not only play together, they’ve started relaxing and napping next to each other, like they’re doing here on our bed on a cold winter day (Jan. 2026). 😻

Phoebe is wishing you a phenomenal #Caturday and #ValentinesDay 💘 filled with all your favorite friends to enjoy time with, whether that includes simply relaxing or doing all your favorite activities. She is our resident sweetheart. 😸 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Yeah, we’ve only seen a couple of ours do this over the years. Our original cat, Bailey, used to do this, too. 😸

Chase looks very comfy. I often wish to sleep as soundly as our cats do! 😸

Hi Tommi! So cute! 😸

It’s Phoebe’s turn in the #Caturday rotation for us (I’ll be doing her post later), but I couldn’t resist sharing a pic of our Pheebs in the same position - we call it “sitting like a person”. 😹 We have quite a few pics of her sitting this way.

This is wildly appropriate ☠️
