This October is...Catober! Every day this month, I'll be posting a Catober comic, introducing a different cat character. Catober Day 1: Annabelle (who's is based on one of my cats.)

A banner at the top that reads, "Thursday, October 1." Below, there's brief poem: "This cat's a lovebug/Her name's Annabelle/But please do not hug her/She considers that hell." The illustration shows a man smiling and hugging his black cat, who looks irritated and is struggling to get away. There's a banner at the bottom that reads, "Catober: 31 days. 31 cats."

Happy #ThrowbackThursday! A younger, more athletic (and thinner!) Earl hanging out on the kitchen cabinet over the refrigerator. #Hedgewatch #CatsofBluesky

Earl lying on top of a very tall wood kitchen cabinet above a silver refrigerator with his right front arm completely stretched out and his left paw supporting him at the corner. There are replica horns of a longhorn cow hung six inches from the ceiling over more kitchen cabinets to the right.

Today is International Podcast Day🎙️

A cat is interviewing another cat for his podcast. They're both sitting at a table and the host is saying, "My guest today is the author of 'Pretending to Barf: And Other Foolproof Ways to Wake Up Your Human." The guest is sitting with his book in front of him, smiling.

Happy #ThrowbackThursday! Mooch was too fluffy curled up to be a shrimp 🍤. She was more like a sweet concha. #Hedgewatch #CatsofBluesky

Mooch sleeping tightly curled up with front paws wrapped around her face and back paws up by her head. Her floofy tail is also wrapped tight against her body.

September is National Guide Dog Month 🦮 #dogs #guidedogs

A guide dog is at an "all dogs" restaurant standing at the host stand. The guide dog's human is standing behind him, holding the harness. The dog hostess is saying to the guide dog, "While you wait, can I give your human a treat?" (She's holding a bag of potato chips.) The guide dog is saying "Sure, he *loves* those."

Freshly done laundry is dumped on the grey print bedspread. A men’s white underwear is laid out for folding, and Jules is lying curled up on her left side on top of it. Her head is down, but she looks up at the camera.

Koala is a sweet 11 year old brown tabby and white kitty with yellow eyes, a pink nose and white whiskers. She is laying on a green sheet looking at the camera. She is in Oakland, CA

This darling old lady knows what she likes, and that is to be the only cat in a calm, indoor-only home, complete with her favorite litter box set-up (low sides, please!). Koala has a history of litter box avoidance that worsens with stress or routine changes. She is currently doing well with her current setup and she is looking for an adopter who can partner with their veterinarian to manage her ongoing care.

The constant struggle of trying to stay informed without totally losing it

One cat is saying to another cat, "Stop looking at the news. You're getting all puffy." The other cat is looking at his phone and all the fur on his body is puffy and spiked up - he's experiencing what is known as "piloerection." (You folks reading the alt text get all the fancy words!)

Earl (left) tightly curled in a small green cat bed not quite fitting with his right hind leg sticking out on the wood table. Meanwhile, Jules (right) is stretched out across a large tan dog bed resting her head on the side and left leg dangled over the opposite side with plenty more room behind her.
