A hot #caturday, but it's not too bad in the shade on the porch.

I put sunflower seeds on the ground for the squirrels and ground feeders. Some of them sprouted and I let them grow. Happy to see a bumblebee enjoying this one! 🐝🌻

Catnip: I planted it for the cats, but this bee likes it too! Happy #pollinatorweek

#caturday morning coffee on the porch with the kitties. Lucy likes sitting on the porch swing. And we discovered the next door neighbor has a cat who looks like a littler Rusty. 😻

It's so hard being patient while your #christmas present is being assembled, but it's worth the wait!

#Caturday drink. Rusty likes it when I hold his water dish for him.

Bonus cold and snowy ❄️#Caturday! Parked on the old tower next to the heat vent. No one has sat there for months.

#Caturday "helping" take down Halloween decorations.

I almost didn't buy these yesterday because it's not even Halloween yet. But my love of chessmen won out.

It's October 1st! Punkin-Headed Ghost rides again!

Rusty here. My person told me it's #gingercatappreciationday, but I know that's really every day. Here's me getting a third helping at breakfast, and having a rainy day nap. Pretty good day so far.

#Caturday playtime with his grasshopper toy. Funny thing is, the grasshopper has legs attached with velcro, which have never once gotten detached. But the not reattatchable feather antennae? Gone in the first week. 😹

I have a theory that whenever Trump relates a conversation where the other person says, "Sir...", that story is completely fabricated.

#caturday fun: get all nipped up with a new plant, then play with the shopping bag.

So, I was starting to cut down these giant weeds that have taken over part of the yard, when this lovely swallowtail butterfly showed me how much she was enjoying the blooms. Then I noticed bees, too. So, I guess the weeds stay for a while.

BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.” It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.
