This position is known as the "Starving Kitten". I took this picture from my place at the dinner table, looking back toward the kitchen. #Purrcy has collapsed flat on his back with his paws in bunny position, prostrate with hunger, so weak, fading ... 😿 #cats #CatsOfBluesky

Purrcy the tuxedo tabby lies flat on his back, splayed out on a wooden floor, paws in bunny position, head turned to look straight at the camera. It is DEFINITELY time to feed the cat.

This is #Purrcy's smug & happy face as he stands on the bath mat while the shower is heating up, walking back & forth DEMANDING pets, love & attention from the naked defenseless human. You can tell from the jaunty angle of the whisks that this is a high point of his day #cats #CatsOfBluesky

Purrcy the tuxedo tabby stands on a brown mat, looking slightly upward. His whiskers point forward joyfully, his green eyes are slitted with happiness. The naked leg of a human is visible next to him, as is the marble edge of the shower in front of them.

I remembered The Black Mountain over the gap of years for its very exceptional plot, as Nero Wolfe leaves his carefully restricted life in New York to return to his native land, but on re-reading it in 2026 I was struck by this passage: 1/3

“If personal vengeance were the only factor I could, as you suggested, go and stick a knife in him and finish it, but that would be accepting the intolerable doctrine that man’s sole responsibility is to his ego. That was the doctrine of Hitler, as it is now of Malenkov and Tito and Franco and Senator McCarthy; masquerading as a basis of freedom, it is the oldest and toughest of the enemies of freedom.”
― Rex Stout, The Black Mountain

When the sun hits your face and you stretch into place you're a #Purrcy #cats #CatsOfBluesky

Purrcy the tuxedo tabby has stretched into a patch of sunlight, and is opening his light green eyes just a crack. He looks almost drunk on the light, as he rests on a brown sofa, some blue fabric, some puzzle boxes, and a takeout Chinese menu.
