Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 11/10/2026This has become comfort food. Tofu scramble with onions, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, red bell pepper, turmeric, garlic powder, tamari, some chipotle seasoning, nooch, black salt, pepper. I usually add potatoes or tomatoes, but forgot. So delicious! 010
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I forgot to hang my laundry last night so am going to a Petunia and the Vipers show this evening wearing the same mismatched Sesame Street socks I wore to work today. 110
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I biked to work only to have to turn around to go get my forgotten bike locker access card. (I should have stayed put.) Back to the office, boring day of repetitive tasks — then the sky darkened. Left a half hour earlier than usual and only felt a slight sprinkle and got a glimpse of this. 160
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I worked from home today and they’ve been like this for the last couple of hours, adjusting themselves, but not separating. Hollis keeps casually stretching and reaching out to touch Muriel with his paw, like a kid in a movie theatre. 030
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 16/09/2026If you’re ever in Fredericton and you love Indian (or Indo-Chinese) food, you have to go to Mantra. It’s an unpretentious-looking place with inexpensive, delicious food and big portions. These Szechuan Hakka noodles were sooooooo good! 030
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Missing these two sweet cats today, both lost to cancer in 2025 after being with me since 2013. Eli in the back, Minou in the foreground. I hate 2025. 070
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I pedaled from work to home rather quickly upon spying large dark grey clouds overhead. Nothing happened. 030
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Maple gochugaru stir-fry (tofu, onions, carrots, bok choy, red chili peppers and water chestnuts) and seasoned soba noodles. 020
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I guess they needed to do something with it where it might be fixed up a bit. I’d never been inside of it, but have passed by it daily for a few decades. 100
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 16/08/2026My kitten Hollis (who is now actually ~15 months old) and his adopted sister Muriel (who is ~4-5 years old). They were staring at gulls across the street post farmers market. I usually crack the window open wider, but Muriel was sticking her claws into the screen earlier and got stuck. 181
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Another heat warning for today. It’s not horrible at 9 am. It’s only 20°C and feels like 26°C because of the humidity. But I’m sitting up in bed and Hollis is flopped against me and feels like a little heating pad. 010
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I’m working from home today because of the heat. My cats are just staring at me wondering what the heck I’m doing here. 060
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 17/07/2026He can sleep on a bed, two love seats, three different cat beds, a rocking chair, but no… 1100
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 04/07/2026These two goofballs make life worth living. They had just been wrestling. Muriel usually flips on her back and lets Hollis-kitten pounce. Check out that hind foot with its so many toes. 160
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It’s a bed AND a chew toy. Hollis was trying to find cool spots in the apartment today. I miss his kitten size. He’s around a year old and becoming more independent and judgemental while still providing regular head-boops for smerps. 140
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 20/06/2026The aforementioned spicy dill pickle ramen: Spicy ramen with added kimchi (and sesame oil and gochugaru), sliced veggie dog and (trust me on this!) some dill pickle. I then added a broken up slice of Violife cheese to it and mixed it in so it melted. 020
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I was supposed to have my year-end performance review today, so grabbed some Sesame Street socks out of the drawer for luck. It got rescheduled to next week. Behold, the power of Elmo! 010
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I took a vacation day because I felt beat. I figured I’d sleep in a few more hours, but the cats had other ideas, so we played a long while. Then I ordered some seed starter kits via Instacart and am excited to start up my deck garden this weekend. (Hollis is so hyper!) 030
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Local friends: If you like Indian food and have not yet gone to Mantra, go. Great customer service, unpretentious little spot, delicious food. It was everything I hoped it would be. 220
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Hollis is “officially” a year old today according to his adoption papers. He was a colony kitten rescued when he was around four months old, so it was just a guess. He’s still so little! 021
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Muriel and Hollis say “goodnight” as kitten Hollis falls asleep beside his big sister. 091
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Called a cab to run an errand and stepped into it to find this inches from my face. He had one hanging from his mirror as well and I’m guessing from the godawful stench of them that they were new. The windows were all closed. 000
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Breakfast for dinner. Tater tots, beans w/molasses and tofu scramble (with potatoes, onions, orange bell pepper, collards, corn, garlic, tomato, nooch, turmeric, black salt, tamari, pepper, cayenne, etc.). 130
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Muriel on catnip! There’s no way I was going to scritch her belly in her state. She’s never put a tooth or claw on me before (and I doubt she would unless something significant happened) and she’s begun to appreciate belly rubs, but that wild-eyed look… 081
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 20/05/2026This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat photo from your phone. 010
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I love this creature more than I do most humans. Maybe all humans. #Muriel 050
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of Muriel’s adoption. Her name was inspired by the Tom Waits song, as well as Salinger’s character in his short story “A Perfect Day for Bananafish”. She’s moody and loving and I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I hope she lives forever. 4161
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 02/05/2026He looks calm, but seconds later he was trying to wedge himself between me and the back of the computer chair and all claws came out when I tried to coordinate. #HollisElijah 010
Moe @mfiof.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Working from home has left me witnessing a lot of stuff like this. I’ve never seen Muriel groom Hollis for this long and have never seen him stay so still for it. 050
