Chicago's gay train does not stop gaying just because it's July

Latkes for my ex-catholic partner on the mmmth day of Chanukah (I was in the hospital at the beginning [I'm fine] so I have entirely lost track)

Two cats, entirely unalike in dignity,...

Two cats in a black leather couch. The tortoiseshell closest to the camera is loafed in dignified fashion. The black cat at the end of the couch is on his back with his silly little feet in the air, looking at us upside-down

Waiting in my zoom room, watching to make sure Fudge doesn't cause any more mayhem than is reasonable, and then had a JUMP-SCARE when I looked at the screen and saw someone LURKING behind me

Pc monitor with zoom open, a tortoiseshell cat on the desk partly hidden behind the monitor. On the zoom window you can see just a bit of me (arm and phone) in frame and behind my desk chair, under a green table, is a little black cat just staring directly into the camera.

Imagine if he had even one thought

Black cat lying on his back on a blue rug with his back legs splayed and his front paws tucked, looking blankly and wide-eyed at the camera

Finally getting around to reading _A Sicilian Romance_ this spooky season (Fudge is somewhere between unimpressed and reproachful)

Picture taken from above of the cover of Ann Radcliffe's gothic novel A Sicilian Romance. Novel is being held above/next to a tortoiseshell cat who is side-eyeing the camera from my lap.

Not quite floor to ceiling, but I inherited these from my parents; apparently, when I was a baby, they divided my dad's office from my bedroom.

Two tall wooden bookshelves arranged in a corner (ninety degree angle from each other. Green table in front with a glass vase full of pool balls, which is irrelevant to the bookshelves but prominent in the photo

A pumpernickel pancake with eyes

Tortoiseshell cat curled up in my lap looking weirdly flat, like a pancake, with eyes open and tail in front of her face

Am I reading the news or working on my article? Are they commiserating or helping or do they want a snack?

Me (short haired them) sitting cross-legged on a leather couch with a knit blanket over my knees and a laptop on my lap, looking pensive. On the side of me closest to the camera, my tortoiseshell cat fudge is sitting on my lap with her front legs behind her like a weird otter. On the side table on the far side of me, and on the far side of a table lamp, is my black cat Gus, looking blank.

For a little timeline cleanse, enjoy my perpetual kitten Gus sucking on his little stuffed sloth

For a little timeline cleanse, enjoy Gus making one of the most bananas decisions I have ever seen and then going OH SHIT and running away

Appreciate the clarification

A sign saying "please do not put anything in the toilet other than toilet tissue" where someone has added a word in pen so it reads "please do not put anything [inorganic] in the toilet other than toilet tissue"

Fudge, blissfully unaware of the danger her tail is in

Fudge, on hearing about The World:

A tortoiseshell cat, sitting alert on a blue bedspread, eyes wide and, I interpret, alarmed

Mid-bath, stopped for a nap.

Tortoiseshell cat slumped over in a position where you can tell she had been sitting up and grooming her belly and then just put her head on her own tail to nap

Bend the knee. Kiss the paw.

Tortoiseshell cat lying on the back of a couch in a beam of sunlight, looking imperious, with one paw extended

POV: you log on to meet with your adviser, and they are being shadowed by a small, nosy void.

Zoom screen featuring me (bespectacled brown-haired they in a gray hoodie), and my black cat Gus lying across my shoulders, looking seriously at the camera

On the bright side, cats are real.

Tortoiseshell cat (name of Fudge) snoozing against a leg clad in gray sweatpants (my leg.)

Just hanging around mis-doing gender (me) and being a cat (Fudge).

Bespectacled short-haired brunette they in a blue shirt, a tortoiseshell cat snoozing kind of upright along the side of their chest

Perch'd; or, Catmerican Gothic

Black cat perched on top of a scratching post, next to a potted tree of approximately the same height (what type I cannot remember)

In the Chaskin household, we party hard

A tortoiseshell cat asleep in my arms; behind her on the couch, a black cat curled into a tight ball sleeping the sleep of the innocent

I am a Jew who doesn't do any Christmas stuff but I do get in the festive spirit when Revolution Brewing comes out with their yearly "Fistmas" holiday beer. Which I am realizing in real time is a reference to the fist of revolution in their logo. Rather than/in addition to...what I thought of.

A beer can, mostly red and white with some snowy Christmas trees and a shirtless Santa, "FISTMAS" very large on the front, described in smaller font as "red ale with ginger and orange peel"

She looks awfully relaxed for someone who has decided the household must be Up and At Em at 5 a.m.

Gus, trying to protect me from bed goblins, blissfully unaware of the world

Black cat halfway under a sheet on a bed, looking at the camera like "oh. You're here."

Chose a shirt, did the thing

Me (a bespectacled white enby boy) in a blue shirt that reads "a resounding meh", and an "I voted!" sticker above the text.

So intent on the various eccentricities of the bath that she hasn't noticed her tail is in the water

After many ill-fated attempts to cat-proof my balcony all by my little self, I finally dragged a Very Tall friend over to help so that this girl, who has been spam calling the ASPCA to complain about the lack of porch access, can look at me with pure "it's about time."
