Our cats are doppelgängers fr (this is Grizz)

A big fluffy brown cat with white feet and belly lays on his back on some carpet, with three paws in the air. He has not a single thought in his head.

Grizz as a babylab participant 🥰😻

a fluffy brown cat in an infant t-shirt that says "Graduate, University of California, Davis Infant Cognition Lab". He's getting scritches for being such a good boy/participant.

a fluffy brown cat wearing the same infant t-shirt. He's sitting on the lap of his human, like a baby participating an experiment. He's a good boy.

My NYTimes crossword steak just hit 1000 days. Please clap?

In our household, we call this “ironing”

Happy International Cat Day to all the cats out there, but especially to this guy who makes my life better every day

A big fluffy brown cat with white feet and a white tummy lies on his back

The same fluffy brown cat is still belly-up on a bed, now making a face that looks like a grimace but is really the start of a yawn

Did a double-take because Fergus looks so much like my Grizzly in this pic! FWIW, sleeping on a bag of rocks is totes something Grizz would do too smh (although here’s a pic of him making a smarter choice)

Golden hour photo shoot with my handsome roommate

A fluffy brown tabby looks slightly off camera. He is very handsome.

The same fluffy brown tabby now looks directly into the camera, with slightly sleepy eyes, as if to say “hey, girl”

The fluffy brown tabby gazes into the distance, his face awash in golden sunlight.

When you have one lap but two laptops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A MacBook and a big brown cat competing for space on a person’s lap. The cat is winning and the result is NOT ergonomic.

Here's my map, although I'm not confident it's 100% correct. I feel like this would map on nicely to some kind of urban density map, with a few exceptions (Sorry, Ohio. Sorry, not sorry, Florida.)

A US map showing the states I've been to. It's got a very "coastal elite" vibe

Grizz was VERY BRAVE at the vet today (annual checkup, clean bill of health!) and is now completely ZONKED OUT on his window seat with the anti-anxiety meds still coursing through his system. Congrats buddy, you earned it. #catsky

Hey @darthbluesky.bsky.social It’s Grizzly’s 13th Gotcha Day! Here’s are a couple pics from the day I met him, when he “claimed” me by climbing into my lap before another cat could. Other pics are from his first day at home, 13 years ago today. So lucky to be roomies with this guy 😻

this is the second time a @darthbluesky.bsky.social repost of a Tessa pic has stopped me in my tracks because she looks so much like my guy Grizzly. Doppelgängers! Here's an old pic of Grizz burrowing 😻

OMG she looks so much like my guy, Grizzly! He also glitches frequently, pls pass on any helpful advice you receive. 🙏 (btw, @darthbluesky.bsky.social, meet Grizz!)

I couldn't find a good "control room" photo, but did come across this old gem from when we were testing out the mobile eye-tracker in [redacted]'s lab (bonus points if you can ID [redacted] in the photo, but don't tell her I posted this! 😂) #devpsyc
