Don't let anyone tell you that a basket isn't yours. Give them a baleful look and stay put. The WORLD is your basket. #CaturdayAdvice #TheLemurHasRules #CaturdaySaturday

The Prince of Towels plans to stare into space this #Caturday and recommends you do the same. Go find your own laundry basket, though--he's not moving. Ever.

So I had a moment with this cassowary at the Jacksonville Zoo, who wants my next book to be about him. Typical guy.😉

For National Poetry Month, I've been posting some verse on my substack, some fictional, some personal. This one's personal. 🔥 ndstonewrites.substack.com/p/remains (And my substack's free.)

Here, my very first cat, Ariel, is not sure if she's more outraged by the bow around her neck or my silly '80s bangs. Both. Probably both. #caturday #darkages #babyface

Things I hate about Florida? Who cares on a day like this? Happy Monday, friends. #floridalife #mondayvibes

This #Caturday, The Lemur recommends you love--okay, tolerate--thy neighbor, even when they're big, fluffy jerks who steal your food.

This is the sort of Monday morning that can only be salvaged by staring at a young Oscar Wilde with his cat.

This #Caturday, please give a shout-out to your local Feline Support Center. They've been working overtime for weeks.

It's a rare gloomy day here in Florida. The Lemur knows exactly what to do.

The tiny violet buds on my lemon tree have blossomed. I only wish I could share how heavenly they smell.

We shouldn't need a day like this. We shouldn't need to remind anyone that every human deserves to be seen and respected as their true selves. But since we do, let me just say this: my trans daughter is the bravest, kindest person I know.

Spring bird song and crashing waves in the distance: may your Monday be filled with this kind of peace. #floridalife #nomorewar

The Lemur's #Caturday advice: if the sink fits, sit in it. 😼

Late bloomer. I relate. (Here in northeast #Florida, camellias are winter flowers!)

The outdoor TNR kitty who has deigned to let me feed him is glad he's not human, and he's sorry you are. Happy #Caturday, though.

A scream? A yawn? A plea for treats? "All three," says Pax. #Caturday #ExpressYourself

As a grown-ass woman who reads kid lit on the regular, I endorse this message. A good book is a good book, regardless of genre. #readmore #kidlitforall

Ruby says that #Caturday is the perfect time to remind your human that you've always been adorable. And always will be.

This #Caturday, Pax wonders once again why humans keep thinking his name means "war."

This #Caturday, The Lemur continues her quest to reach the good stuff on the kitchen counter. It's up there. Don't quit.

As a #CaturdayValentine, Pax recommends loving your true self, especially your snaggle teeth, soft tummy, and snarly hair. 💕💕💕

Look what survived last week's frost: more proof you never really know when you might bloom. #keepgoing 🌸

Since it's #Caturday, I've scheduled another appointment with my personal masseuse. I'd give you his contact info, but he's booked solid. Also, he has claws.

Somehow, in a whole yard covered in ice, the camellias are still showing off. #floridafreeze

#HappyCaturday from The Spare, who has lurked around my house as a TNR feral for years and has finally trained me to feed her on the regular. Every day, she greets me with a plaintive meow . . . and a hiss. 🖤

Some mornings, I have to look a little harder to find something--anything--lovely. I'm always glad I did. 🪷
