Since my void decided to be extra and get hella mad 'cause dinner was late as I'd gone to the store, he took it out on me and Sammy who is now recovering from the best spot on Earth (my lap) watching his Queen as a good fancat.

Harry, a tabby cat, wearing a red collar with printed bees, is lying on a black, red and white checkered blanket watching Beyoncé's Homecoming on TV. There are two stuffed squirrels, a white one on the right and a brown on with a bow over the left ear on the left, squiring the TV set. The clock shows 7:01PM.

Andi is a quiet, short-haired calico. She is shy and slow to warm up to people. Once she does, she shows her playful side. Just like a lot of kids, she likes watching PBSKids. She loves all the animated shows, but Daniel Tiger is her favorite.

Sky loves belly rubs and finding the warmest place to sleep. In the winter, she makes sure to come snuggle in bed under the blankets. But her favorite place to be, even on the hottest days, is snuggling on a lap.

Meet Sky! She is a cuddly cat who lives in Australia. When she was a kitten, she was brought to the local market to be given away. A 10 year old girl cried until her mother let her bring home the kitten. Now Sky is almost 14 and she and her caregiver have grown up together.

Meet Ruby Tuesday! She is 4 months old and was just adopted. She was the last of her litter left because no one wanted a black cat. Tuesday is cuddly, playful, and gives kisses. She follows her caregiver around. The most overlooked cats can often be the best cats. @maxxioverdrive.bsky.social

Meet Jolene! She was left in a cat carrier in an alley. She was then put in a shelter. She chose her own caregiver by lying in their arms and purring. She was named Jolene because she has green eyes like in the song. She once ate a lasagna, so she is a little like Garfield too.

Happy International Cat Day to you and your cats from me and Princess! My favorite thing about Princess is that she takes her paws and tries to pull my hand toward her for petting. She is a playful and cuddly cat. I’m glad she is part of my family.

Meet Houdini! She is a cat magician. She refuses to be contained in any room, area, or crate. She likes to be free to go where she wants, when she wants. She screams loudly when she wants something. Luckily she only uses her magic powers to demand food and love.
