Here's one from my files. Niamh had a few weeks as a flower a couple of years ago. She didn't think it was as cute as I did. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #blueeyedcats

Siobhan is next in line. She's very particular about everything. Touching her without permission is absolutely forbidden. She refuses everything but her favorite foods. She always gets the best perches and beds. She is a total princess. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

Happy Caturday! Ciaran booted his sister off the table and took a very active part in folding the laundry today. Later he claimed the entire basket, but we had a photo bomb. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #lifewithcats

. Here's another from my files. Fergus: absolutely charming little monster. His hobbies: knocking things to the floor, harassing the girls, escaping into the garden. He's like to be top cat, but that's Ciaran's job. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky. #tuxieeyes

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Ciaran is the top cat here. He had a difficult start in life. He's come a long way. He's a little skittish, but a total sweetheart. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #voidcat

It peaked at 92 today, about 10 degrees higher than predicted today. I spent a bunch if time sorting photos. Here's one of my favorites. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Niamh is a total love loaf. She's my shadow. She adopted Siobhan when she was a baby. She has a little voice except in the car when she goes full Siamese and tries to summon Satan. We harvested a bumper crop of persimmons today. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #gardens #harvest

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The Agents were busy supervising the workers in the garden again today. They even escaped briefly but miraculously went back into the house when I looked at them. One day at a time. #catsobluesky #gardens.

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Happy Caturday! We had a big day. In addition to the usual Saturday chores we had workers in the garden and a dinner guest. That's a lot of supervising work for some Agents of Chaos. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Here's Minnie in shrimp form. Ciaran is here too, I about his form. Minnie is a bit of a nervous wreck, maybe not the smartest one of the crew. She runs behind the piano when the doorbell rings but if she knows you she's a total lap hog. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I got to the Piano late today. I fed the Agents of Chaos first on the theory that they wouldn't bother me, but apparently Fergus wanted some attention. The persimmon is heavy with fruit. We're going to harvest it Monday. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #tuxieeyes #persimmons #harvest

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Here's another from my files. We had a good lesson today. None of the Agents of Chaos showed up to help me play. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #voidcats #Agentsofchaos

The very old jacket was slated for donation, but it has been claimed. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #tuxieeyes

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

We had to catch up on the Caturday chores since I was out yesterday. As usual, I had help with the laundry. The Junior Agents of Chaos, Fergus and Siobhan, had a little dispute. I wasn't quick enough to get a good shot. The Nerines are opening up. One day at a time. #catsofblluesky #gardens

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The Agents of Chaos had to stay alone while I went to visit an exhibit of Etruscan art in SF today. I found no problems when I came home. The exhibit was amazing. Here are a few of my favorites. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #Etruscanart

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Here's one from my files. You can see Minnie's face. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #blackandwhite.

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I caught these two napping together. Mostly they squabble. It's a complex relationship. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #blackandwhite.

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Whiskers Wednesday. Here's one from my files. I missed yesterday, but had a wonderful walk on the beach with my daughter. It was cool and foggy but I was hungry for sand and waves. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky @voidcatshee.bsky.social #beach

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Fergus, aka "You Little Turd" tried to steal my knitting, but I caught him. These are not my best images, but i didn't have a lot of time before he ran away. I don't think he was even a little ashamed. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #tuxieeyes

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

We had a good day. After I did the usual Sunday stuff I got out and did a little gardening, getting ready for the change in seasons. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #blueeyedcats

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Happy Caturday! Actually it's five minutes into Sunday. We had fun with the laundry today, except for the part where the basket full of folded laundry ended up on the dining room floor. My fault for leaving it on the chair. One day at a time. #Caturday #catsofbluesky.

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The 20 degree temperature drop materialized and we were a lot more comfortable. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky.

050

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It peaked in the upper 90's today but we're looking forward to a 10 degree temperature drop tomorrow. Here's Maggie's brother Aengus. I miss him too. They were the best. One day at a time. #catsogbluesky #Mainecoons

131

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It peaked at 99 today. The Agents of Chaos and I mostly laid low. Here's Magpie, who left us in 2022. We miss her. Tomorrow I'll post a shot of her brother Angus, who departed in 2019. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #mainecoons

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This popped up on FB. I'm not sure where the original is, probably in one of my sketchbooks. It's my old Maine Coon, Magpie. I miss her. Maybe I'll dig up a photo of her one of these days. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #myfamiliar #mainecoon

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

We went to the nursery today to pick up a few plants, but wilted pretty rapidly. It was 87, with a heat advisory starting Wednesday. The Agents of Chaos and I spent the rest of the day indoors. One day at a time. #catsofblluesky.

030

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Happy Caturday! I had help with the laundry, but as far as I know nobody took a nap on the clean clothes. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Maybe a quarter inch fell last night, then the sun came out. We puttered. Big day tomorrow. One day at a time. #catsofbluesly

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The network and the printer magically fixed themselves. I have no idea how. Now we are happy. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Some water fell out of the sky today. I'm in the middle of computer anguish. Without further details, here's a cat from my laptop, which still works. He's expressing approximately how I feel. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

060

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It has remained coolish. I took it easy today and am feeling a little better. I caught Minnie at her toilette this morning. One day at a time.

030

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Here's one from my files. It was cool and overcast. I think I have a cold. I made it to the grocery store and got the trash out to the curb. I'll take it easy tomorrow. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #voidcats

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

We had a quiet day. The garden isn't exactly thriving, but here are a few bids of loveliness. There's always something. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #gardens #flowers

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Happy Caturday! I had help, as usual. Fergus helped me soak my foot. The younger Agents helped me with the laundry. I harvested the last tomatoes and took out the plants, a month early. One day at a time, a productive one today. #catsofbluesky #garden #harvest.

070

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Here's a cat and the first installment of my potato harvest. I left a couple plants for later, with hope that they will get bigger. The tomatoes are winding down. I think I'll take them down this weekend. It seems soon for the season to be changing. One day at time. #catsofbluesky #crops

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

We had a standoff between Siobhan and a lizard. They stared at each other until I broke down and took a photo. It's spider time and I found this lovely creature this afternoon. One day at a time. #catsofbluuesky #spiders

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Now I truly hate AI. I set up my new laptop for my remote piano lesson. When I started playing but no piano sound was transmitted. It took me two hours to find and disable the microphone AI filter that blocks "background" noise. Minnie stole my socks this am. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

160

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

It was on the warm side today, but not overwhelming. I didn't get a lot done and am trying not to beat myself up over it. Tomorrow is another day. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #voidcats

160

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

It was a pretty good day. I'm getting used to the new laptop. It has cooled down enough that I managed a walk this evening. . The dahlias are starting to open up adding a little light to the garden. Niamh is next in line. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #blueeyedcats

040

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

My ex was here, sequestered in my study, setting up a new laptop for me. Fergus wanted to help and spent hours sitting outside the door. A closed door is an anathema and absolutely MUST be opened. One day at a time. #caatsofbluesky

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Happy Caturday! It's laundry day again. Ciaran tried to claim the basket while I was sorting the clothes. Siobhan got the jeans and Minnie helped me fold. A big day for the Agents. one day at a time. #catsofbluesky #caturday #laundryday

0122

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Friday has come around again. It feels like the season is starting to change. I spent the afternoon cooking and now I'm tired. Minnie is up next. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky

040

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Siobhan found a lovely little spot of sun. I have scratches on both arms where the Agents carelessly ran over me, so they got claws clipped. The Zinnias are doing well in the garden. They bloom when most everything is done. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #Gardens #flowers

270

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I think Fergus is up next. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #tuxieeyes

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I'm informed by the Agents of Chaos that I missed Black Cat Appreciation Day, which was yesterday. Ciaran was particularly offended. Siobhan insists that she should be honored too. Grey cats are black with a dilution gene. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky #voidcats

Julie @sol-y-sombra.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

We're just about ready for bed. One day at a time. #catsofbluesky.

Morning Cats: A quick post while I'm avoiding my German homework--a bunch of verbs to conjugate. I learned a new word while scrolling. "Die Fledermaus" Now back to the verbs, one day at a time.
