Ash playing with the banana. Who do you suppose she’s calling? #CatsofBluesky

Ember is keeping an eye on the neighborhood. Kind of a chilly gloomy day. #CatsofBluesku

I’ve told them no fighting on the bed. I don’t want my legs caught in the cross fire! Ash didn’t complete this bap, all was well. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, and Ash, a grey and white cat, lay facing each other on a bed. Ash has one paw raised, ready to bap Ember. There is a vague impression of a human leg going behind Ash from up by the camera. I don’t know if that makes any sense, but I’m leaving it. The fact that my innocent leg is near is important to the image.

I feel it’s unlikely my reach is more than those who have already shared, but on the off chance..

Ember is mid pre-bed bath time. Very important to be clean before sleeping. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on a crème colored blanket on a bed. A purple and blue dresser behind her. She has a long-suffering look on her face. Who knows what sorts of human silliness she has to put up with?!

This is the picture of Ash that I showed to my dance friends. I noticed I haven’t shared it here yet! She’s doing her usual cute, please pet me, routine. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, curled on her side on the top of a cat tree. She’s looking up with a super cute expression on her face.

Monday night dance teacher likes to start class with a little icebreaker type question along with a needs checkin. Today she asked what our favorite thing is about the weather we were having (very fall like here today). I said how cuddly my cats are when it's chilly...

I like the light in this picture. And Ember looks so curious. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, sits up with her neck stretched long. She is midway up a flight of beige carpeted stairs. There is a small window above and the light is coming down on her.

Look at my ladies, just look at them (but don’t talk to them 😂)!

Another evening in the basement, and here’s Ash telling me all about the large daddy long legs spider she just ate. Maybe this is why they love the basement, it’s full of snacks. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, sitting back on her haunches with her mouth partially open in a meow.

A late #WhiskerWednesday post as we are hanging out in the basement. Ember really likes when I follow her down here. Not sure what the draw is, lol. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on a beat up wooden chair under a table. She is looking slightly up and her whiskers look lighter than usual.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Got out some fresh crinkle papers for the first time in a few weeks. Ember got her fill while Ash was napping. Now Ash has come to get her nip fix. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, crouches on some blue crinkle papers. A green and red feather toy is in front of her.

Went to the Minnesota State Fair today, mostly to see the band Durry. Also saw the fine art and the craft building. A selection of photos below.

Went to a park to hang out with some dance friends today and these sandhill cranes were just taking over some of the picnic tables. Totally unbothered by people, we were walking by pretty close.

Two Sandhills cranes in a grassy area. You can see strange green poles in the distance (they are part of a playground).

Another angle of the two sandhill cranes so you can see they are right next to a picnic table. Even better view of the strange playground in the distance.

Ember isn’t sure exactly what her human is doing with that black rectangle. Maybe she can find an answer on the ceiling? Or at least a bug. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on her side on a wood floor. She looks relaxed and curious.

Ember, still laying on her side, but now she’s looking up towards the ceiling as though she’s seen something interesting.

Ash getting in some play time with the catnip sardine. She likes to lick them, lol. #CatsofBluesky

It was a bit rainy this morning, but it’s stopped now and we are doing a porch lounge before lunch. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, relaxed on a grey and wicker chair.

Why am I suddenly being followed by a bunch of random looking accounts? I usually get one or two follows at most per day, and today I’ve gotten 8. Strange.

Ash is ready for bed. We had our treats and it’s time for snoozing. She thinks the human should get moving and get to bed, but she’ll stay near either way. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, lounges on a wood floor next to a vent. She has one white paw out and the other tucked under her chest. She looks super cute and alert.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

I try to alternate which cat I post, but I could not resist this dangle. Ember loves to sleep on the very edge. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on the edge of a bed covered with a crème comforter. Three of her paws dangle over the edge of the bed, the fourth is tucked against her chest.

On the floor you can see her favorite snake.

Discarded furniture on my way to work this morning looking like a strange art installation.

A discarded chair sits at a jaunty angle. Two legs in the air, balanced on its side. There is no seat cushion. It lays on grass strewn with leaves and acorns. A sad modern building can be seen in the background.

I finally took a picture of one of the black squirrels that live in the neighborhood. There are a few black ones around, and we’ve had white squirrels in the past too. Figured a few of the cats around might find this interesting. #squirrel

A completely black squirrel clings to the side of a yellow stucco garage. It is visible through a window next to a multi layer cat tree. However, no cats are in the picture.

Sleepy lady. The beans! ❤️😭🫘❤️ #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, sleeps on her side. Her front paw is curled under and one of her back paws is up next to it. Many pink beans are visible.

Ember often brings her snake into the bedroom when it’s time for bed. Never on the bed though, just left on the floor. #CatsofBluesky

Images aren’t loading for me. I can’t see your beautiful cats! 😭😩😤

Went to a community dance event at another studio and got this wrist band. The ladies were very interested. Ember played with it a bit after this, but I don’t think this will be a new favorite. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, and Ember, a tortie cat, are investigating a blue glowing wristband that is on a wood floor. They are head to head and there is a new box in the foreground and some crinkle paper in the background.

Ember really has been enjoying how I leave hoodies everywhere. They are her beds now. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on a crème colored hoodie on top of a wood table.

If you are going to film me I’m going to stop playing with the banana! #CatsofBluesky

The afternoon light gives an interesting effect to Ash’s whiskers. She often comes here when she wants pets. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, lays on her side on a piece of brown paper. The light hits her at a low angle, illuminating her whiskers.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Ember doesn’t sleep under the blankets, but she does occasionally play under the blankets. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, can barely be seen under a crème blanket. Her eyes are big and she is ready to pounce.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

We now have a nana phone in the house! I was pretty sure I’d ordered one in the past and was trying to remember what happened to it. It was my first and only example of porch pirates in this house… and the thief was a neighbor cat! Took me a while to remember that. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, lays on a wood floor playing with a bright yellow catnip banana.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I always thought she was a cat, but it turns out Ember is some kind of fuzzy slug. Still cute. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on a wood floor with her arms tucked under her in such a way that she looks like her head comes straight from her torso like a slug.

Ember is a queen on her high throne. She’s keeping an eye on me instead of the outside! #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, sits on a cat tree platform. Behind her you can see the top of a window frame, letting the viewer know she is very high up.

There are some pale human fingers on the edge of the tree at the bottom of the image.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

The lip of this cat tree is a perfect pillow for Ash. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, lays her cheek against the carpeted edge of a cat tree platform. Her eyes are barely open.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

There are plenty of comfy places to lay, but Ember wants to be on this piece of packing paper next to her floppy fish. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on a piece of brown crinkled paper on a wood floor. In front of her is a stuffed fish.

I was reminded by @ellafitzg.bsky.social ‘s recent post of a lockdown phenomena. During zoom ballet class, most of us had our pets join us in frame, mostly cats, so we would always catch up with the cats after class. My ladies learned quickly to be careful of flying feet.

I had a very long day. Took my mom to have eye surgery (glaucoma). First spot of the day and needed to be there at 5:45 am. Only got home from rehearsal at around 9 pm. At least I got to work from home. Still can’t miss the before bed treats though! Ash loves hunting for them in the papers.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Took this picture earlier today. The pigeons always are hanging out here (I think the owner of a nearby store feeds them), but on really hot days like today, they cluster in this one bit of shade. I just think it’s silly and finally took a picture.

A sunny parking lot surface is covered in pigeon feathers. All of the pigeons are clustered in a small bit of shade provided by an awning.

Late morning lounging. I cleaned up my yoga stuff so we have a nice clear space that Ember is taking advantage of. Toys and paper still nearby! #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, lays on her side on a wood floor. Behind her you can see a number of cat toys and some packing paper. Also a bookcase.

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Ember convinced me to go out on the hot porch for a bit. We didn’t spend too long in the heat, but she did enjoy it. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, in silhouette. She is in front of a window, her neck stretched long as she looks up.

Ash loves her caves, and the donut is a really good cave. #CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, her face barely seen through the cat shaped hole in the back of a light grey cat donut.

Two layers of cats. Ash loves sitting on the chairs pushed up to the table. Ember has decided my hoodie is a bed. #CatsofBluesky

We see a dining room table and chair. On the table is a discarded hoodie, upon which lays a tortie cat (Ember). The chair is pushed up to the table so it’s partially obscured, on that chair lays another cat, also partially obscured, her white paws visible (Ash).

Pipermaru @pipermaru.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

I took off today and tomorrow, so here we are relaxing. Ember wanted me to get out of bed earlier, but she has now accepted the snoozle. #CatsofBluesky

Ember, a tortie cat, close on her face as she rests with her eyes closed and chin on the bed.
