In which Stardust is annoyed that I'm interrupting her annoying Charleston. Charlie, for his part, is getting it from both sides. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Two cats on a cat tree. Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell is on the high level, reaching down to bap Charlie the black cat on top of the head. They both look very annoyed.

When you're a tortie, even the inside of your gaping eldritch maw is graceful. It's all about attitude. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the tortie cat lounging on blankets yawning directly at the camera.

The same cat on the same bed, post yawn, with her face turned toward the window so she can get a good view of outside.

The void is vociferous. (He's fine, it's allergy meds time.) For all his complaining, neither the vet nor the techs could listen to his lungs because he wouldn't stop purring. He is large. He contains meowltitudes. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charleston the black cat crouching in his carrier at the vet office, meowing very loudly to express his displeasure at the indignity of it all.

The same cat, except now he's stuck his face outside the carrier opening. He's still meowing though.

(Blurred for feline eye contact) In which I have gazed into the abyss, and the abyss has given me a whole lecture. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charleston the black cat sitting in a perfectly Charlie-sized cardboard box and looking directly up at me. He is meowing. The little patch of white on his chest is visible.

The cats declared that it was Worm Time and I was in no place to dispute this. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charleston the black cat standing on a crocheted cat couch (one of many cat toys in the area). A long wire extends from the top of the frame, leading to a pair of neon fluffy worms (which he is chomping).

Stardust the tortie cat stands on her back legs, holding the neon worms in her front paws to maximize her chomp.

🎶 Long cat, she's a long cat! Long cat, I can't take that! 🎶 #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat lying belly up on a purple carpet. She's stretching in a curve, with paws outstretched in such a way that she's shaped like a parenthesis.

Stardust has a severe case of Noodle Bones. The only treatment is extensive admiration. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat lying in an impossibly curled up position on a cardboard scratcher. One front paw is stretched out into the sun, with toes spread.

The same cat in roughly the same position, except now she's yawning. One eye is closed where her paw is next to her face.

(Insert the Jaws theme here) #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar (Blurred for feline eye contact)

A tortoiseshell cat peeks up over a bundled up purple blanket, such that her nose is just peeking over. Her eyes are wide and focused, and her ears are locked on to the point of focus (the photographer).

Oh to be a yawning tortie on a cozy chair. Also it's unofficially fall (despite still being summer-hot). Stardust's toe floof is growing in. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the tortie cat lounges on a gray chair, with her head upside down and toes hanging off the edge of the seat. She has a cheeky expression on her face.

The same cat in the same pose, but now she's yawning.

Pretty sure this is Star's senior photo. (Blurred for feline eye contact) #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat posing on a comfy gray chair. She's looking just behind the camera, with her tail curled around her and one front paw dangling off the edge.

Gesundheit, Charlie. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charleston the black cat lounging on a cat tree, his mouth open and eyes closed as he sneezes.

$The same cat a fraction of a second later, with the tip of his tongue poking out in the shape of a letter U.$ Charlie now looks up, resetting his face post-sneeze. His teeth are visible as he does so.

In which the void remembers that he left the stove on. Or something. I don't know what goes on in his little head. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charlie the black cat lying on the couch in a weird position, with a shocked expression on his face. His tongue is sticking out, his front teeth are showing, and his eyes are wide. He genuinely stayed like this for almost a minute.

[Insect photo] My T. rex made a new friend! The grounds people were here earlier this morning so I think Hopper here was trying to get out of the way.

Top down photo of a yard statue on my stoop. The statue is a Tyrannosaurus rex with tiny garden gnomes climbing on it. There is one gnome in Rex's mouth, and a gigantic grasshopper is perched on this one's hat.

The Tortie Menace is full of Opinions today. She also claimed Charlie's favorite morning nap spot this morning, which led to Charlie pointedly sulking at her when she wouldn't move. Sassy cat. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat flopping upside down on a purple rug. She's curved in an impossible position and she's in the middle of loudly meowing at me.

Lizzy Miller @elmiller0330.disabled.social.ap.brid.gy · 17/06/2026

My grandmother used to say that position is everything in life. As far as I know, she wasn't referring to cats, but still. Come on. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat in a cardboard scratcher box. She's belly up, with her spine twisted so all four paws are pointing toward me in a way that looks impossible. Her mouth is open mid-meow and she looks aggressively chipper. Like a presenter on a TV show for small children.

Stardust: "I am the stoic, majestic queen of all creation." Also Stardust: this. She contains meowltitudes. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat flops upside down on the carpet. She's doing "jazz hands" with her front feet, her back feet are at an angle that should be impossible, and she's opening her mouth for a yawn. Her tongue is pressing against her bottom jaw such that it makes a W shape.

I have found the weirdest fortune a cookie has ever produced. It's not wrong by any means, in fact I strongly approve, but still.

The small slip of paper containing the fortune from a fortune cookie. It reads "Respect people's dietary restrictions."

How many pats does it take to get to the center of a tortie roll? More research is needed. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

A dilute tortoiseshell cat curls up into an orb on top of a cardboard scratcher. Her belly and beans and chin are all exposed and it's unclear how all the pieces fit together.

Lizzy Miller @elmiller0330.disabled.social.ap.brid.gy · 16/04/2026

This genuinely started as a meow. But Charlie got distracted by something (the brain cell pinging around?) and just... stopped, until he yawned to reset himself. Oh, cats. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charleston the black cat lying in a plastic bed attached to the sliding glass door. He is in the middle of meowing, so his mouth is open and he looks kind of smiley.

The same cat in the same sunbeam, except now he's turned his head to face me. His mouth is the exact same level of open. He is extremely shiny in the sun.

Finally, the cat realizes his mouth is open and yawns. One ear is squished against the glass door. He clearly doesn't have a worry in the world.

This void needs a good caption and I have too much of a case of the Fridays to think of one. Suggestions? #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charlie the large black cat lounging in a plastic bed attached to the sliding glass door with suction cups. He's looking up and yawning, with his mouth as far open as he can manage. It's like he's a baby bird waiting for food from their parents, except with fur and teeth.

(CN: Feline eye contact, teeth) When I grow up, I want to be a cat in a sunbeam. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charlie the large black cat lounging in the windowside cat bed. He is staring directly up at the camera while yawning, making him look exaggeratedly excited, like an actor in a commercial. The kind that makes you go "nobody anywhere has ever been this excited about deodorant."

The same cat in the same yawn, except now his eyes are closed and every single one of his teeth is visible. Even the carnassials in the back.

🎶 One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong... 🎶 #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

A multi-tier corner shelving tower absolutely full of stuffed giraffes. There are giant ones, crochet and knitted ones, keychain sized ones, and more, in a huge variety of colors. On the middle tier, where there should be even more giraffes, a small dilute tortoiseshell cat crouches, facing the photographer. Her tail and front paws overhang the shelf slightly, and she's tilting her head in a cheeky way.

The "Pale Blue Dot" photo taken by Voyager 1 in 1990. It shows some sunbeams in space, spanning the frame vertically. In the rightmost band of light, there's a tiny silverish speck about a pixel wide, which is Earth from six billion kilometers away.

I want to be a cat when I grow up. Seriously, what witch do I need to anger to make this happen? #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat lying curled up on a pillow. She's peeking at me over an outstretched paw, showing off her lovely multicolored paws. Particularly the little gray stripe across her pink paw pad.

I'm trying to post more, it seems to come in waves. As part of this, have a couple of criminals testing out their new furniture after murdering the old one. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat sits on top of the large gray cat tree that's in my office because I haven't moved it to its proper spot yet. She's stretching her front legs and curling her back to get the most out of her yawn.

After months of trying, I have finally documented a cownapping. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the tortie cat sits in the hidey hole of a cat tree. She's sticking her head out, looking down at the little plush Highland cow that's lying on the floor below her.

A second later, Stardust is hanging the entire front section of her body out of the cat tree as she reaches down to grab the plush cow with her (fully extended) claws.

$Another fraction of a second later. Star is victorious, now holding one of the cow's legs in her mouth. Not pictured are the small holes she's already placed in the poor stuffed cow's fabric.$

I figured out today why Star's chin was wet earlier this week. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Two cats on my bed, on top of the blankets. Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell is curled up, exposing her belly, and Charleston the black cat is sticking her face into her neck.

A few seconds later. Star is still in the same position, asking for more licks. Her chin fur is quite wet, as that's what Charlie was grooming. Charlie, meanwhile, is staring at me as if asking "do you mind?".

Another few seconds later. Charlie has gone back in for the licking, except Stardust has decided to grab onto his head and start grooming.

I don't mean to alarm you, Stardust, but the leg thieves that targeted Orion have discovered you.

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat loafing on a beige pillow. Her tan chest marks are particularly prominent, and she is looking up and to the left with her eyes wide.

Tucked in and warm and cozy? Absolutely. Stealthy? There will be no further questions at this time. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

A plush gray blanket is piled up on the couch. A pair of tiny tortoiseshell front paws are sticking out from under it, while the rest of the cat is under the blanket.

Is artistic yawning a sport? Because my cats think it should be. This match is clearly a draw. I can't choose. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Two cats cuddling on a blanket on the couch. On the left, Charleston the black cat is yawning while he faces Stardust the tortie. Star, for her part, gives him some side eye.

The same cats in the same positions, except this time Stardust is yawning at Charlie, who watches intently.

Oh, so much smugness. How can I persist in the face of such attitude? #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat curled up on on my bed. Her body is facing to the left of the frame, while she is looking up and to the right in a way that shows that she knows she's the best.

Over lunch I emptied the big bag of stuffed animals onto the bed. In related news, Stardust has decided that her Halloween costume this year is ET. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

A large pile of stuffed animals on my bed. There are plenty of giraffes and Pusheen plushies in particular. Behind them all, a small tortoiseshell cat sticks her face up and peeks through, much like that one scene in ET.

Charleston the black cat rolling around in a pile of blankets on my bed. He is curved so his belly is up and his face and butt are facing the same direction. He's exposing both his front paws and peeking one eye out between them, and the tip of one little tooth is also visible.

The void is spilling from his container. He cannot be contained. And I love this. #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #CharAndStar

Charleston the black cat lying in his bucket seat, which is attached to the sliding glass door by suction cups. Previously he'd been all curled up inside it, but now that I'm here he's reached his head outside to receive scratches. His expression is almost confused, as if he's having trouble processing simultaneously getting scratches and sunbeams.
