It looks extra Octobery when Gadget decides to nap next to some Halloween decoration.

I couldn’t find Gidget for a bit because she doesn’t often use the cave in their cat cube, but her sister found her right away.
Gidget, a black cat, is within the dark cave of a cat cube and is a little hard to see. Her sister Gadget, a black cat, is peering into the cube and has clearly found Gidget and is set on annoying her.

What an impactful story! I’m amazed at how many inner lives you were able to examine in such a short piece. And that ending was perfection!

The first two kittens went to their forever home today! We had a little costume party to celebrate. Bon voyage Rizzo and Inspector Gadget! (Their foster names; new names TBD.)

They are just too adorable! Thank you so much for helping these kittens! I’m so glad they now have forever homes! And my kitty Gadget thinks Inspector Gadget is the best name!

The Pacific Northwest is so gorgeous. And I loved seeing all the plants and wildlife - we even saw jellyfish as well as several sea lions swimming through the marina!

I recently got back from visiting the Seattle area and had a wonderful time! And we were lucky enough that the weather was deceptively sunny most of the time!

It's pub day! Isle of Teeth is officially out in the world. I'm still getting ready for book launch, and trying not to get too nervous. Hope you do well, book.

Need a mixture of kaiju and cuteness? Enjoy a model train’s POV while cats run amok. I should be revising my WIP, but these videos are giving me some quite fun monster ideas! m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wEO...

I think the plan is to trap me in the bedroom so it can be a day of cuddling and napping. I’m tempted to just give in…

Kitties, I love you, but must you block the hallway so effectively?

The blanket fort lasted the night. Though Gidget has decided it’s better to sleep on the fort than within the fort.

Gadget is always on - even when sleeping she’ll wake up ready if there is even a hint of action. Gidget has shorter bursts and will probably get the zommies around 11. So far it’s stayed up with Gadget using it as a napping/ambushing spot.

I made a blanket fort for my cats! Any guesses on how long it will stay up?

I love it when the muse gifts me with a scene or solving a writing problem seemingly out of nowhere! It’s amazing how our brains are making connections and getting inspiration without us even realizing!

I’m pretty sure they were tadpoles, but I may have been mistaken! They looked like tadpoles to me, but I couldn’t get a close look. Whatever they were, they were cute!

Laura Davy @lauradavy.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
It was such a pleasant surprise! And there was a nearby lake where I saw tadpoles! (I tried to take a photo of them, but it didn’t work since they were too tiny and the water/underwater vegetation was too dark)

I am really proud of this bizarre, bleak cosmic horror (in spaaaaaace!) I tried something different with this one, and I'm so pleased that @adventitiouswords.bsky.social picked it up!

I give them their treats in another room and return to my meeting. This time with my door firmly shut. As for Gadget, she’s sleeping soundly and completely unrepentant.

We pause the meeting (as my boss laughs at me) and I run to get the only solution to the problem: cat treats. Gidget is all over me in a second and Gadget has a super tight squeeze but manages to get out of that narrow space - now covered in dust of course.

Laura Davy @lauradavy.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Meanwhile, I’m telling my boss what’s going on in a very professional manner (barely incoherent statments peppered with a lot of “no no no” but managing not to use profanity).

Next, Gidget comes to investigate and starts smacking her sister through the narrow opening while biting my headphone cord. She then starts yelling at me when I try to stop her.

I work from home and during a meeting with my boss, Gadget decided to jump into the small space between my desk and wall then yell at me for letting her do that.

Too cute! And thank you for taking care of them! Having to do so often and (especially at night) must be really rough.

I miss watching animal videos without realizing halfway through that it’s fake AI drivel. Animal videos are fun because they connect us to another species and let us see how other beings react to the world. It’s often adorable and delightful! And AI slop ruins all that.

Laura Davy @lauradavy.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
AI discourse is on the rise again, and I want to make it clear that I HATE AI. The plagiaristic slop is bad for the environment, bad for people’s minds, and is ruining the Internet. I will never willingly use it and I wish it would disappear forever.
