Escher lying down while being snuggled by Goliath the large black cat. Escher is holding back goliaths ears to make him look like an alien
A snapdragon seed pod having expended its seeds. It looks kind of like a skull.

Goliath the large black cat from above, a big round puddle of fur almost completely obscuring my folded leg

Starlight Brigade stickers and New & Improved stickers
An adult deer tick placed next to the under-nall scab. The grayish color of the "abdomen" of the scab looks just like if the tick were already engorged, which is very fun out of the corner of your eye.
Some kind of scab from banging my finger on something underneath the base of my fingernail. However, it is the approximate size, shape, color and legginess of a large tick, which has been fun when seeing it out of the corner of my eye

Lt the black cat wearing her cone. See her fabulous
Lt the black cat, who does not want to wear a cone anymore, reclining on a shikibuton mattress. Someone has shaved strips of fur from her arms and tummy for anesthesia. She needs constant supervision if she's not wearing a cone.

Lt the black cat with a medical cone and a partially shaved forearm. You can barely see her face in profile in the cone.

I dunno???? It looks like an anemone but jelly?

A plush tuxedo cat. Pretty normal looking.
