The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

If I could have a magic box that would let my cats understand me for only one sentence, that sentence would be, "For fuck's sake, throw up on the bare floor and not on the goddamn carpet"
Sugar the cat, who just went out of her way to move off the bare bathroom floor to throw up on the hallway carpet AND ALSO ON THE STAIRS, JEEZ

Tiny criminal, photographed this morning. She jumped in the plant and promptly got digging zoomies.
A very small kitten, tabby and white, shouting while I hold her up in the air with one hand. If you look closely you can see that both she, and my hand, are covered in dirt. The plant in question is blurry in the background.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.
