It's raining outside, so obviously Flynn has to come and let me know.

The alarm clock is furry, and doesn't have a snooze button.

Hi Nori. How have I disappointed you today?

Taking a day off to help get over this stinking cold and upper respiratory tract infection. Flynn feels that chest compressions might help...

@envirosynch2.bsky.social The two younger cats get on. Sort of... 😂

Old phone screen died weirdly. Phone was on, but the screen totally blank. Not broken, because rebooting it gave the Google splash screen. Just completely blank in user mode. Anyway, new pixel phone, new camera. Enjoy Flynn and Honey in 50MP HD

It's been a couple of months since Tilly died, and we haven't had a single bird, or mouse in the house since. I think we know who was doing all the hunting, and that Honey is a bit crap when it comes to murdering small creatures.

After only a week of new scary catflap*, both cats that have microchips seem to have mastered it. Much to the chagrin of Flynn, who isn't chipped yet. Adult cats 1 - 0 Kitten *Catflap makes noise when it recognises chip and unlocks. My cats have never dealt with this before.

Don't mind Honey. She's just sat in her box. Having an existential crisis.

Been a bit lax at cat posting here on BlueSky. Here's a selection of Flynn recently.

Ginger kitten who has just been washed down with a wet towel, because she wasn't washing her face and neck properly. The fur in the back of her head is all stuck up.

The Orange has settled in for her main evening cuddle.

Two cats didn't feel like enough cat to fill the house. So I'd like to introduce our newest feline, Flynn.

Some heartbreaking news. Received a phone call from a vet that no-one wants. My beautiful, funny, silly, and feisty cat Tilly had been brought in after being attacked by a dog. Efforts to save her were unsuccessful. Hug your pets folks.

Tilly lay on the floor with her tongue stuck out

Tilly sat on a sofa, almost sphinx-like but her rear legs are sticking out forwards. She looks very silly.

The downside of evicting a mouse from your room, after you've shut the cat out to deal with the mouse, is that the cat then spends the next hour scouring your room for a nonexistent mouse. Don't you Tilly?

Six month vet checkup for Tilly and Honey. The verdict: Tilly is a perfect angel. Honey is also a very sweet cat, but is turning into a bit of a Heckin' Chonker.

Attention everyone. Throwback to 2022. Baby Honey and Tilly.

New storage has the Tilly seal of approval.

All finished for tonight. Doors will have to wait for tomorrow.

Almost complete wardrobes. Now fully populated with drawers and shelves

Andy Smith @evilokapi.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Only shelves and doors left to go. Time for a cider!

The previously empty wardrobe carcasses now have drawers installed. There is still a lot of empty space for shelves.

It's a bank holiday weekend, so obviously I am building flat-pack wardrobes. Mrs okapi for scale.

Seriously. 5 minutes...* *They're USB-C on the other end, but it wasn't such a good photo.

Can never find USB-C cables in this house. Went into teenage daughter's room for literally 5 minutes, and came out with 17 of the bloody things. Seventeen!

How small is ultra-small, you ask. This whole scan covers 1 milliradian, or 0.0573 degrees, which is about the same as 2-3 steps of a reasonable powder x-ray diffraction scan. This scan contains 10000 data points...

In case you were wondering what ultra-small angle X-ray scattering from a butterfly wing looks like. The central peak is the unscattered beam. Satellite peaks are Bragg-like diffraction from the wing structure, giving rise to its green colour.
