What, like a butterfly clip or something? Or are you thinking aomething more Marie Antoinette?

The human bed, a couch, three living chairs, two wooden chairs, two cat beds, two sunny windowsills, five rugs, and a MASSIVE cat tree, and she wants to hunker down in the recycling overflow.

Her name is Tigerlily, and she's a trashy cat.

We have a new dog in the house, Leo. Leo got the jump on Sarge this morning. And by "got the jump," I mean one moment Sarge was on the ground, and the next he was on the neighbor's roof.

A dog was just rehomed with me. His name is Leo, which I love. A dog with a cat-themed name? Perfect. It's also a hillarious name because it sounds kinda tough and fierce, but dude is SMALLER than Sarge.

Welcome to the family, Leo!

He of poise and grace.

Overheard

Sorting through and deleting old pics, I found these of Sarge's first day in his new home with me!

These two used to scare the bejeezus out of me 🤣🤣🤣

What a cutie! I'm sorry you lost her. She looks sweet! Mine was named for Sargent Terry Jeffords of the Brooklynn 99. Sarge and Sargent Jeffords share a love for yogurt 😋

The kind of coal I'd ALWAYS want in my stocking at Christmas. I would do some evil stuff to get on the Naughty List for some coal of that quality.

At some point, the nickname becomes the official title, and the former formal name becomes the "you're in trouble" alert.

We have a dog visiting today. Sarge is doing some sort of "stubbornly comfortable" thing where he doesn't move or hide, but he's just GLOWERING at that dog. #catsky #cats #catsofbluesky

Thank you for your service!

Battle ready!

Great minds think alike!

Sarge: A gray tuxedo cat with a yellow collar asleep on pink and purple sheets. Tigerlily: a tortoiseshell cat laying next to him and looking up at the camera.

Tigerlily: He's asleep. Don't do it.

Me: Just one poke to that big belly!

Tigerlily: You heard me. Back off.

If only she were so respectful of the recently folded laundry.

The summer snowflake!

I'm so jealous. When I serenade my cats, they either run away or get violent.

Sarge is hurkle-durkling HARD this morning. Have a merry #caturday, everyone!

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake.

Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong.

For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Thanks for the inspiration, @ekpyrotic-dream.bsky.social! The north wall of my bedroom is officially Sarge-Beans Pink! #catsofbluesky #catbeans

That's the look of a cat that'll make off with your soul if you give her half a chance. What a cutie!

That is a really beautiful weird-looking bird.

Art.

That's enough of a reason for me. From now on, Tuesdays start with Gregory Peck!
