the face of a cat (Snook) who is displeased with me for inviting a dog over and has delegated all communications to her seneschal (Skittles)
Two stripy cats rest on a heating pad. The front cat (Skittles) is nearly loafed. The other cat (Snook) lurks behind him, two green eyes visible over his back.

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

i have too many favorites so here's "the first one i found"
Casey Grim, @aCoupleofN3rds on Twitter, says "'You only got one family' Yeah you only got one appendix too but when it fucks with yoru health you cut that bitch out of your life."
solitarelee on Tumblr responds: also you CAN just get a new one.
solitarelee later adds: "a FAMILY. you can get a new FAMILY.  i must clarify, you can not get a new appendix you can get a new FAMILY."
carnival-phantasm points out "you can if your surgeon is unethical enough"

Snook, a stripy cat with a white undercarriage, is taking up the human's spot on an unkempt, mismatched bed, and looking up at the human like "yes? what are you going to do about it?" even though she weighs eight pounds and can be lifted with one hand.

Snook, a stripy brown cat with white undercarriage, sits prettily in a round bed. There is a bright sunbeam across her face. She is squinting so she looks very grumpy but is actually very happy.

I was going to say it's a (not-very-sharp) dagger with a face on it that neither my husband nor I remember acquiring, but we can't find it anymore, so instead I'll say it's this motherfucker

hmm if i only get one...how would I decide between Wednesday (RIP), Unicorn Skittles or Adorably Manipulative Snook
Wednesday, a black cat with orange tortoiseshell markings, stares up at the camera with big yellow eyes from the box she is curled up in. The box correctly labels her as Fabulous! Adorable! Fantastic! and Gorgeous!Skittles, a green-eyed stripy tabby with a white chin and socks, is sitting on an orange couch in front of a lime green wall. He is wearing an inflatable unicorn horn, and his face makes it clear that he would rather not. Snook, a cat with a delicate pink nose, tabby stripes on top and white fur underneath, snuggles up to a human hand and curls up her paws, as if to remind the human that she could be petting a cat instead of using a mouse right now.
