It's not that he has an issue making eye contact — it's that there's a bag of treats on the shelf behind me.

Aahz saw me open up the air return to change out the AC filter earlier, and he is now LIVID that I will not allow him into this new tunnel in the wall.

She loved her surgery cone for the first couple days (it made her feel powerful and intimidating) so we got her a courted ruff to look sinister in.

I would kill or die for Larry

A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

Aahz looks mean, but he's actually stoned out of his mind on #Caturday catnip.

The platonic ideal of an ambush predator faces east, patiently waiting for his sunbeam prey to descend onto his backside.

A long-haired black cat sits on an office chair. Just above the cat, a small sunbeam is hitting the chair's back. The cat has its head raised just enough to keep an eye on the sunbeam.

My best photographs of 2025, a short thread. A tobacco hornworm on one of its favorite foods, a garden tomato plant (Texas, May 2025). This one makes the cut because it is more aesthetically pleasing than I was aiming for, somehow.

In middle of a graceful, fibonacci-curved spring tomato leaf sits a large green caterpillar in side view, its front curled as if in prayer, in an ethereal soft light, slightly backlit.

Yes, you two can see the bottom of your bowls. But if you'd both just LOOK DOWN you'd see that there's still quite a bit of food there.

Two cats sit next to half-full food bowls. One, a black long-hair with a lion cut, glares through half-lidded eyes at the camera. The second, a large long-haired tuxedo, looks sad.
