I haven't figured out what I want to use this for yet. I like cats, books and fandom as a concept. Interested in but not enjoying law and politics. Follows are not endorsements.

Another wee pal I met in Wigtown last week, for #caturday. AFAIK this one doesn't live in a book shop but is extremely friend-shaped and allowed me to touch belly!

I want to come back as a cat who lives in a book shop.
Tabby cat seen from behind, tail outstretched, on a rug at the foot of a ladder, looking up with pricked ears, anticipating the climb. There are bookshelves in the background.At the top of the ladder is a platform with a big bed with room for a human but the only occupant is the cosy cat, now in shadow.

Stormy is Displeased, having tried and failed to burrow under my laptop. Girl does not grasp the concept of working in order to earn in order to keep her in the style to which she has become accustomed.
Black cat with paws crossed. She looks sad that her person is so inadequate.

Yes, I hate the girl maths, girl dinner, etc. bollocks, BUT it is apt that I saw this immediately after spending an hour window-shopping the jewellery arcade & trying to persuade my mum the £6k bracelet was a bargain coz the other one was £7k.

Stormy catching up on some 💤 after I thoughtlessly disturbed her sleep last night while thrashing around trying to resist clawing my skin off during a sudden breakout of hives or something. Let's hope it's not a sudden onset cat allergy!

Dunno whether the appeal is that it is a bag or that it is a bag that formerly contained chicken. Either way, the cat doesn't want to be let out.
Black cat Spooky is merely fur and eyes, inside a brown paper bag.

No book for you, hoomin. #cats #books
Black cat Spooky lies firmly on the open pages of a book his person was trying to read. He is quite possibly damaging the spine. He cares not.
