Some days can be challenging. However, nothing is as restorative as greeting your cat who hasn’t seen you for 4 days. A happy male tabby grins at the camera, tail up, awaiting chicken.

A male tabby cat channels ‘sleepy delight’ into his evening routine. The owner wishes to be a cat too, based on the wry smile and comfortable look of the armchair, which has mysteriously turned into a cat bed.

#catsofbluesky #ifitfitsisits #catbox
A male tabby cat has rightly decided to occupy a cardboard box, by sitting in it. He looks at the camera, disapprovingly, at the servant taking the picture.

Happy Caturday #catsofbluesky #chillcat #bellyrub
A male tabby cat lays outstretched on a recently mown lawn. He lays on his back, exposing his underside, as an instruction to the service provider to perform ‘belly rubs’. The service provider complies.

“I require belly rubs. Begin.” #catsofbluesky
A male tabby cat rolls over on a cut lawn, tipping his head and belly towards the sun. He holds his paws in a similar stance to a standing Tyrannosaurus rex. He beckons his own for a belly rub.

#catsofbluesky #stoptherain #2025outlook
A large male tabby cat sits by an open back door. He patiently waits for his human to ‘stop sky water’ although every now and then provides some meow encouragement. The human fails at this basic task.

Purrfect sniff for Christmas #catsofbluesky
A large tabby cat balances on a fence. He can’t find any mice as they’re away for the festive season. Instead, he sniffs a bush. Many others do this on Christmas Day.

“Cleanin ma teef”
A large male tabby cat licks his lips, from atop the garden shed. An even larger cordyline tree in the background provides shade from a slightly warm sun. The owner wonders if there is one less mouse in the world.

This seat is mine #catownsthehuman #catsofbluesky #purfect #cat
A light and dark grey stripped tabby male cat spreads across an arm chair. The cat is the size of a small dog, and the owner is slightly annoyed but accepts there is nowhere to sit.

Nap time #cat #nap
A male tabby cat stretches across a bed, his eyes closed, deep in a nap. Sunlight touches his ear as he dreams of mice. Probably.

“Paint me like one of your French cats”
A male tabby cat rolls over and places his head into a flower bed of Lilly of the valley. His paws are alongside his body, exposing himself for a tummy rub.
