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.

A large, long-haired tuxedo cat sits at the top of some stairs, looking longingly over the viewer's left shoulder.

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.

A long-haired black cat stands in front of a large grate, staring angrily at the camera.

This little weirdo pawed at the shower door until Mom opened it to show him she was fine and not at any risk of drowning.

A long-haired black cat, its back arched, stands in front of a slightly-open glass shower door dripping with water.

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

A long-haired black cat lounges against a green toy, staring at the camera. Small bits of catnip dust the cat's fur and the surrounding rug.

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.

Happy Cinco de Mayo. I wear this shirt once a year; it's at least 15 years old, and hopefully has nearly that many remaining.

The platonic ideal of sadness: When you're a #cat who's eaten all of his kibble, and the other guy refuses to give you some of his.

A large, long-haired tuxedo cat lounges near two food bowls. One is empty; the other has a long-haired black cat standing over it glaring at the first cat.

Cats are such graceful, majestic creatures.

A slightly overweight tuxedo cat lounges at the top of a flight of stairs, exposing its belly.

Aahz has been an Aahzhole today, causing him to be exiled from Mom's office.

At the end of a hallway are two closed doors. Leaning against one is an unrepentant long-haired black cat.

May your cats get all the boxes they want for the holidays.

A long-haired black cat sits in a cardboard box with some wrapping paper.

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.

You'd be forgiven if you thought Aahz had decided to go punk, but his new mohawk haircut is because lately he gets angry when we try to brush his hips and belly.

A long-haired black cat looks up from a food dish to stare angrily at the camera. He has been shaved from neck to tail along his sides.

"Why are children ringing our doorbell? Who authorized this? This is entirely unacceptable!"

A long-haired black cat and a larger long-haired tuxedo cat sit at the top of carpeted stairs, staring down with notable concern.

Aahz, Halloween cat extraordinaire, getting a little extra napping in before kids start ringing the doorbell.

A cool #caturday morning means the door is open for bird-watching.

A long-haired black cat is seen from behind staring intently out a screen door.

A little bit of forced perspective makes Dresden look even...fluffier. (That's a good adjective. Let's not fluff-shame.)

Two long-haired black cats are eating. The nearer is seen from behind, and appears much larger than the other.

This is the look of a #cat who's just realized Mom has cheese...and hasn't offered to share!

A large long-haired tuxedo cat looks upward at someone's knee with an expression of annoyance.

The guy guarding my bedroom door is sleeping on the job. #caturday

I'm starting to think we're not doing a very good job restricting Hairy Dresden's kibble intake.

A large tuxedo cat lays on its back at the top of a wide, carpeted staircase. The cat is also wide.

Every day lately I've awakened to see my #cat Dresden guarding the bedroom door. From what, I wonder. Intruders? The other cat? Cheeseburgers?

A large long-haired tuxedo cat lays on its side in a doorway at the top of some stairs. It's dark on the viewer's side, and brighter outside.

Some of you might see this and say, "Toe beans!" Others, aware of its capabilities, might call it a "murder mitten." Its true name, however, is Gonad Crusher, Compressor of Crotches.

One hind paw and leg of a long-haired tuxedo cat hangs over the edge of a cat tree.

Dresden has this look of utter incomprehension because I've just told him that he can't possibly be starving, as there are still several pieces of kibble in his bowl.
