Picnic for garbage babies. 💕 Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a tabby cat and what are presumably her three tabby kittens. They are all on top of a galvanized metal trash can outdoors which has been covered with a white cloth. There is a bowl of something in the middle and they are all eating from it.

Because I know how much you guys love carpeted toilet accessories. Photo from my collection, 1972.

Color photo of a medium haired dilute tortie cat that seems to have Persian blood because it’s face is quite flat. It is looking up at the camera with its permanently, surprised expression. It’s sitting on top of the pink carpeted lid of a cream colored toilet. The tank of the toilet has a matching pink carpeted cover.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 10h

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting around, facing away from each other. Stealthily, Green turns around to look at Blue, who is oblivious to being watched.

Sneakily Green stretches himself out, landing a kiss on the back of Blue's head. Blue is mildly startled. As he turns around to look at Green, Green has already turned back the way he had been, acting oblivious.

A little good luck for you. 😽😽🤍

A fluffy black cat with enormous round eyes and two tiny fangs holds a pink flower against a turquoise background. White handwritten text on black strips reads: “Rumour has it, this black cat brings good luck. It may also knock something off your table or give you a gentle bite. But mostly, it’s here to bring you good luck.”

This would be a beautiful oil painting. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a medium haired tabby cat standing on a windowsill outside. It is in the process of turning around and jumping down. It's beautiful and dynamic study in cat physiology, highlighted by the cat's striped fur.

Puttin’ on the Ritz “A Singular Sense of Style” Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop! You can find it here: theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/8274...

“A Singular Sense of Style”
giclée art print

What we have here is an extremely posh, well-attired Grackle-About-Town sauntering nonchalantly along top a stone wall, past a much surprised, amazed and bewildered black alley cat. The cat doesn’t have the foggiest notion what to make of this situation. The hand-lettered text below sums up the cat's predicament. This humorous drawing is rendered in dip pen & ink using a crosshatching technique.

Text of hand-lettered caption appearing at bottom of image: “The question arose: whether to eat him, or simply to admire his singular sense of style.”

The CatBats are having a ball this spooky season. Here's a sneak peak of the next mystery hybrid creature just for BlueSky. Insta: www.instagram.com/catbats_design

A Void CatBat strikes a dramatic pose in a swooshy black and red cloak and blood dripping from a solitary fang. The caption reads 'Let me Count the ways' and the background is a rich purple striped wallpaper.

The void catbat has shed its disguise - it is Máni - the very first, original spooky hybrid of a cat and a bat.

Squirrel crimes. Photo from my collection, no date/info

Color photo that has taken on a pink discoloration with age. It shows a chubby, short haired brown tabby cat, standing with its back legs on the arm of a chair, and its front legs on a windowsill so that it can look outside and see whatever is happening outside the window.

Le Chomp. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Photo of a handsome young man wearing a striped t-shirt and light trousers, standing in front of an old car - maybe 1940s but I really don't know cars. The man is looking down at a shorthaired tabby kitten that he holds gently in his hands, that seems to be licking his finger.

A fluffy black cat with large white eyes lies on its side on green grass beneath a textured sky fading from blue to pale pink. White handwritten text reads: “Maybe sometimes you want to do everything so badly that you end up doing nothing at all. That’s okay. Maybe you’re more tired than you realise. I just hope you know that taking care of yourself counts as doing something, too.”

A comic of three colourful foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green, and the third one is little blue, big blue's little brother. In this one, the shading is slightly sharper and brighter than in normal reality, as Blue, Green, and Blue's brother are playing a videogame.
Green: Just to warn you too, I have never played a videogame in my life.
Baby Blue: Yeah, I know.

Both Blue and his brother freeze in horror as Green turns around to look at a cute little purple potato on the ground. The potato has eyes, and is looking right back at Green. A health bar has appeared above Green, and another one beneath the little potato. The potato's health bar is significantly larger than Green's.
Green: A "healthbar" means it's aggressive, right?

Blue and his brother watch in horror as Green runs off.
Blue: Stop running into more of them!
Green: I'm trying to run away!

Blue and his brother watch in mild disappointment as something unseen but clearly unsavoury happens to Green outside of the panel's view. A text appears above them, saying "<Green_Fox has died of making bad choices>"

A little black cat with large, round eyes wears silver armour and holds a shield and a raised sword. It sits on green grass beneath a softly blended pink, purple and blue sky. White handwritten text above reads: “I will fall, but I will get up. I will fail, but I will try again. I might be scared sometimes, but there’s a brave little heart in me.”

From a simply outstanding glass plate negative in my collection. No date/info.

Photo of a shorthaired grey cat sitting up on an overturned white parasol on top of a light colored rock. A white sheet is draped behind it. It seems clear that this was all arranged deliberately to gather light for this very successful photo shoot of the cat.
