A very yellow honey bee on a stalk of thyme; she’s hanging upside down while giving the camera some anime side-eye and a lovely golden color that any stylist would envy. No filter, just contrast cleanup.
Same fluffy gray tabby in the same catio - now tucked into a corner and looking up/inside at the camera. Yes he knows it’s 90 degrees. He laughs in scorn and derision.
Fluffy gray tabby lying in a round cardboard scratcher at ground-level inside a small catio. His bigger one is on the front porch, but this one gives him a closeup view of the birds at the feeders (above/beside the sunflowers behind him).
Fluffy gray tabby with big gold eyes, resigning himself to a day indoors - he is lying on a pink wool crocodile rug in my office, ear tufts and whiskers deployed imploringly.
Neighbor dog friend hanging out of a silver car to do an awoo at Lucy - who he spied as they were leaving their house. He’s a curly black labradoodle in the back right window.
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes and a real big smile beside some yellow yarrow.
Fluffy gray tabby lying insouciantly on the arm of a couch. He is upside down with all three appendages splayed and a look on his face that says “sit somewhere else, peasant.”
Facebook memory notification re: Monty’s adoption in May of 2023. On the left, a skinny little man without much fur to speak of. On the right, a somewhat fluffier little man - now wearing a collar and looking healthier.
Blurry with enthusiasm, she wolfs down two long yellow fries without mercy.
Now she’s offered TWO fries at once, and can scarcely contain herself!
Now she reaches forward for a fresh French fry, eyes all googly with glee.
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes locked on a French fry. We are in the kitchen rather than outdoors, as we have AC and it’s getting warm out there.
A small dark beetle-looking bug, the kind that could lounge comfortably on a pencil’s eraser. It’s crawling around on a yarrow blossom bunch, and if you know how small these flowers are, you have an idea of how sm0l this thing is.
Profile of a fluffy gray tabby sitting inside a catio on a porch, where he stares into the middle distance.
Same dog on the same sidewalk, now catching a bite of poptart crust out of the air with her giant, gaping maw.

Fluffy gray tabby as seen from behind, through a window - where he’s napping inside his catio as the sun sets.
Maniac dog with tongue lolling on the floor and chaos in her eyes.
Fluffy yellow and black bumblebee (a yellow-faced variety, common and native) dangling underneath a lavender blossom.
Fluffy gray tabby sitting on a shelf inside a large catio. He peers through the screen, watching birds he cannot reach, alas. (He really enjoys it tho - and spends a lot of time out there.)
A cover for TALKING IN CIRCLES, A Modern Horror Story by Cherie Priest. It's green with a row of chairs.
A brown/gold/red cover with a spooky tree lady; book is CINDERWICH by Cherie Priest.
Fluffy gray tabby sprawled on top of a pink wool throw rug shaped like a crocodile; he loves to wrestle with it, and it’s pretty tough, so I let him.
A small beige dog barking happily behind a fence, as seen through the cracks and from behind the big black head of Lucy, who adores him - even as he yells at her.
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes and a smile, her ears partly back to add a hint of mischief to the scene. In this shot, she’s just heard Ernie barking across the street and has now engaged the Shenanigans center of her brain.
A sun-dappled honeybee face-down in some purple creeping thyme blossoms, huffing pollen for all she’s worth.
Big fluffy tripod tabby lounging in a square of sun coming in through a window behind him.

Fluffy gray tripod tabby asleep on his back, tucked into the seat of a couch against a plush pink pillow. His lone fang hangs loose, and his front paws are lifted in the bashful bunny pose, so it’s almost too damn cute for words tbh.
Fluffy gray tabby looking over his shoulder inside a tall catio. He does not plan to move anytime soon.
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes - sitting pretty in front of some yellow flowers on a city sidewalk.
Fluffy gray tripod tabby sitting on an oval carpeted cat perch beside a sunny window. He is facing the camera, but turned slightly to catch the light on his snoot. Gotta toast that snoot.

Now she’s got it! This time, the cereal snack flies directly into her mouth.
Same big fluffy dog, watching a piece of cereal bounce off her nose and into the plants. She usually catches them, but once in awhile…
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes on a damp sidewalk beside a neighbor’s flourishing plants.

A western honeybee with an exceptionally long and dark abdomen, extending past her wings. She’s having a good old time rooting around in some thyme blossoms.
