Somebody ate an elastic band the other night, and spent yesterday at the vet's office. But apparently there is no surefire way to induce vomiting in a cat (unless your home has carpeting 🙄), so now she's getting a high fibre diet to hopefully help it pass from the other end 🤦‍♀️

It was chilly today, so Willow had to bundle up, then had a nap under the Sir Percival Fuzzyboots Memorial Blanket on the Lord Hobbes Prettytoes Memorial Throne. #CatsOfBluesky

Trump singlehandedly torpedoed what would have been a landslide Conservative victory and handed it to the revitalized Liberals, losing a 21 year MP and party leader his seat in the process. Strategic genius.

I love this picture and artwork of Percival so much. It perfectly captures his mischievous glee when he's being a little scoundrel 😹♥️

Percy diligently inspected each box before making an informed decision. #CatsOfBluesky #SuperSeniorCatsClub #CatBoxSunday

Palpatine dissolves the galactic Senate. Critics call the move "controversial".

Percival is convinced that the food he gets on the bed is both different from and superior to any other food he gets. He will reject everything on offer, run crying into the bedroom, then hop up and beg until I comply. #CatsOfBluesky #SuperSeniorCatsClub

Goodness me, it seems I haven't posted a photo of Percival here in awhile. Here he is, in all his twenty year old glory. #SuperSeniorCatsClub

Willow has decided that today is Silly Cat Day. Can't say I disagree with her logic. But I do need to set up a separate account for her and Percy. Do hashtags work now? #CatsOfBluesky

Willow did her best to help with my work tonight.
A slightly chonky Tabby cat is stretched out on a wool blanket covering some human legs. She looks very comfortable indeed. A single cat foot with black toe beans stretches out from behind a computer monitor. Though the rest of the cat cannot be seen, she is obviously relaxed.

Hello Bluesky, and anyone who knows me from another place. I hear this place charges a strict cat tax?
