Was OCR-searching for photo proof of a mug I'd found on a stoop in Brooklyn many years ago, and came across this forgotten pic of Roger and Terry recumbent-fighting

On a desk under a monitor are two orange and white cats slap-fighting while lying on their sides facing each other. Nearby is a mug that says "Have a nice day asshole!"

Pierre Bonnard: "Cats Playing," c. 1904 // Cait: "currently in tears over these two dogs," 2024

fine art sketch or painting of two cats on a rug, one standing over the other, who is laid out lounging and looks super flat

Screenshot of an old post by cait @cait.bsky.social. Picture of two dogs, one standing over the other one, who is laid out and looks comically flat. Caption says "currently in tears over these two dogs"

Why does the keyboard on my iPhone now take up 2/3 of the screen I can't live like this

Screenshot of me typing this post. The keyboard and related UI elements take up two thirds of the screen. In fact, as I type this alt text I literally can't see what I'm typing. Guess I'll die

Screenshot of me about to post alt text for the last image. I had to type it blindly because I couldn't see the text box and then look at it without being able to type in it before posting.

She was so special! Her white coat made her look like a dentist and she liked to hang out in the bathroom so she was also known as Smudgie Jenkins DDS

White cat with snowshoe markings is now older and her coat markings look darker and more calico. She is perched weirdly on a sink with her eyes closed looking like she's trying to meet someone on the astral plane

I miss this little weirdo even though she's been gone since 2014. She had a Converse box we called her Starship. Cut a hole in the lid for her head and closed her up in there and gave her rides and she loved it.

A converse all star shoe box with the lid closed, except a third of the lid has been cut off and in its place a cat head is sticking out with beaming incandescent eyes. The cat is small and white and snowshoe marked and she looks goofy as hell. It is a scan of an old glossy photo

Got lost in the camera roll in 2020-2021 (when we lived in a house in Tacoma with a big backyard). This little feller was a regular who enjoyed the Bringing Out of the Cob

A blurry dried corncob is in the foreground. In the middle distance, on the other side of a glass door, a squirrel stands on his haunches, hands clasped expectantly

(fumbling professor voice) "MY PUMPKINS!"

Product image showing a black and white BEFORE image and a color AFTER image. The BEFORE image shows a kitchen with various pumpkins spilled everywhere on the floor near a Le Creuset dutch oven and jars and things of that nature. The after image shows everything nearly arranged in a 3-tiered rolling cart.

Photographs from the Hugo Simberg archive, Finnish National Gallery

Late 1800s or early 1900s photograph of two women standing on swings (or perhaps sharing a swing), facing different directions but both at a 45 degree angle, against a backdrop of forest and cabin.

Photograph labeled 1904 of a man with him arm outstretched. A blurry dog is in the foreground, mid jump.

In Paul Schrader's CAT PEOPLE (1982) the zoo gift shop sells at least two models of stuffed animal I owned around this time. Only have photo proof of one

Going to start a thread of old Roger + Terry pics because I need to remember them

scribbly little sketches of abstract landscapes with ochres and neon oranges

loose sketchbook time with gansai paints (actually happier with how the little ones came out; ironic because they started out as "i'm using these pages to wipe my brush on" while working on the bigger one)
