If you love books, you are my people. If you’ve been adopted by cats, I’m here for you.

Cats will hear a noise you cannot hear, stare at something you cannot see, and then leave you alone in a room with it.

I’ve been to the Dollar store, where I found some fun things to create with. 👻
A translucent purple vase, half filled with foggy crystals, is situated on a small mahogany table. The vase has the word POISON stamped on it in gold lettering and contains black roses mixed with dark purple roses. And, because I thought it needed a little extra fun, there are small black skulls and large purple spiders resting on some of the roses. And…SOME OF THEM SPARKLE! ✨

I’m rereading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub in anticipation of the release of Other Worlds Than These, the final book in the trilogy, on October 6th. #booksky📚💙
The book’s cover depicts a foggy night on a desolate highway, a car approaching, its headlights bright in the gloom. The title is just below center in bright white, medium sized letters, and the authors’ names are in blood 🩸 red, and large hard to miss, letters at the top (Stephen King) and bottom Peter Straub).  Deliciously ominous.

Aerys is recovering from his ordeal in the bathroom linen closet, and becomes very hissy when disturbed. I’m recovering with coffee spiked with Baileys Irish Cream, and Stephen King. Alcohol because ORDEAL, and King because I have always been friends with the monsters that live under my bed.
There is a bamboo tray handcrafted with love by my husband. It’s resting on a beige corduroy ottoman. On it, is a large black coffee cup with the words Detroit Lions stamped in white and the Lions logo, a lion, also stamped in white; next to the cup is a small paperback book titled, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

Aerys has been betrayed. His expression promises swift and severe retribution for the many indignities forced upon him in this tenth circle of Hell level fuckery.
A small dark brown and black tabby is crouched inside of a cat carrier. He has been taken against his will to the vet where he has been fed many Churros and forced to submit to an annual checkup.

And then having them turn up in the most unexpected way.
A small calico cat is peeking out of an artificial Christmas tree, where she had been sound asleep while we searched boxes of decorations and then spent an hour outside in the snow because we were certain that she must have gotten out.

Day One of Sabbatical Was awakened at the butt crack of dawn by the rudest of cats vomiting on the bed WHERE I WAS SLEEPING. And now Aerys has some feelings about the disruption to his fifth nap of the day.
A dark brown and black tabby perched like a little loaf on a bed covered with a burgundy and ivory comforter. He is annoyed that I dared to retrieve something from the closet in his territory.

If someone tells you that it’s “too early” to be talking about autumn, they’re failing to understand a simple truth: Autumn is not a time of year, but rather a state of mind 🎃🍁🍂

I love whimsical packaging. Honey in a little bear bottle? Yes please. Cheese in red wax? Absolutely. Do I want a fat little raindrop of mediocre chocolate? No, not really. Do I want one if you wrap it in shiny foil and put a little feather in its cap? You're goddamn right I do, give me twenty

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.
My best and favourite girl, Heidi, a German Shepherd, snuggled up with four small kittens
 There's a lovely tabby smooshed into her face, a ginger, and a ginger and white kitten on either side of the tabby, and a calico curled up at the bottom. They are super cosy and peaceful.

I’ve lost track of the days, so here’s a throwback on what is probably the wrong day. My daughter Kayte with Rhaegar who’s nickname was Krampus that Christmas because he had a violent dislike of certain ornaments on the tree, which he pulled down and broke or hid in places he knew we wouldn’t look.
A teenage girl with dark blonde hair wearing a Santa hat standing in front of a rather large Christmas tree, holding a chonky tabby, who is also wearing a Santa hat and looking very pissed off about the indignity of it all.

I love this, but what I love most is the thought that complete strangers may have nicknames for your cats that you’ll never know about. Like Blattcat’s and Greatcat’s owners have no idea that they’re called that. And my neighbours probably have nicknames for mine… 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
