tofu & tesla! (& krisko) 🐈 📚 🎲 ♿

my folks initially refused to play, but when i made it clear the alternative was actually talking to me about my feelings in the wake of my friend's death they suddenly got enthusiastic about trying a dnd session

based on the whining noises, i think wiggles missed me

ugh it reminds me too much of my cringe materialist phase (at the tail end of an even cringier nu atheist phase)

just an excuse to be ignorantly condescending

i'm not enough of a tolkien fan to appreciate that analogy properly.

i always say that the gop are the school shooter and the dems are the uvalde police.

the same people who go "why do lefties attack dems when the gop is the real enemy?" will attack dem-voting non-white groups for not voting dem enough

cat with lip curled in what looks like disdain but is actually his lip getting caught on his one remaining fang on that side of his mouth

pov: tesla is being quietly judgmental of your life choices. he just thinks you have so much potential you're not living up to.

tesla is trying to convince tofu that it doesn't matter what game they pick, there will be plenty of things for them to shove off the table

he doesn't know what the electoral college is.

he knows a peace i can never know.

white and ginger cat inside fridge with his mouth open in a tiny meow

tofu jumped into the fridge while my back was turned then when i saw him in there i swear to god he tried to act nonchalant and make small talk with me like he was supposed to be in there.

cat staring intently out the window

i don't know what tesla sees outside the window but he's drooling a lil bit so it must be good

spotted cat on hind legs looking out window

love when animals get on their hind legs to look. what do you see? must be important.

grumpy tesla cat

eepy tofu cat

sure we're awake before noon, but at what cost?

everybody stop what you're doing and come see how handsome tofu is

Orange and white tofu cat pulling open a cabinet

TOFU IF YOU KEEP THAT UP I WILL POUR ICE WATER ON YOUR HEAD I SWEAR TO GOD
for this slander

lol tesla refused to play until i turned on both toys at once (that stuffed fish has a mechanical flapping tail). the man knows what he wants. he's having the time of his life now.

series of four photos of tofu and tesla cats cuddling

in these trying, divisive times, let's all join together in what is truly important: seeing how cute my cats are when they cuddle

all four pictures are of tesla cat getting progressively deeper under the bed

tesla is doing what i call "bed spelunking"

cat in bed

tesla decided not to get out of bed today. what a wise cat.

i think i've solved the mystery of what the cats were screaming about last night

last image in your camera roll is what killed kissinger

cat licking my arm

having a bad muscle spasm day but tofu doing what he can to make me feel better

throwback to the time years ago when i let tesla explore my mom's backyard in arizona (shortly after these photos he jumped the wall to chase a mouse and i had to run bare-legged through a cactus patch to catch him)

the best money i ever spent was on a pet lawyer who kept my ex from splitting tofu and tesla up (legally, at least. she still attempted breaking & entering, cat theft, and calling the cops on my family members to resolve custody).

if anyone in arizona needs a pet lawyer i have a referral for you.

cat attacking cactus shaped scratcher with gusto

tesla is attacking the cactus cat scratcher with a fury that makes me think he is getting revenge for the time he ran through a cactus patch when we lived in arizona

little white kitty leaning up against a window ledge and looking wide eyed at the camera while behind him a black and white adult cat is staring intensely at a spot on the ground outside the window

ok before caturday is over have one more picture of kitty tofu, this time with his new big brother tesla showing him how to spot lizards from the window in our old place in arizona
