A large 3d model of the space shuttle, docked and ready to launch. It’s made from cardboard and foam core. It is surprisingly realistic for cardboard! The hatch doors are open and you can see the shiny satellite cargo inside.
A tan cat with dark brown tail, paws, and ears is seen from above and behind. His tail is curved over his back. This is a playful tail. Super happy tail will touch his back!
Words on a rainbow background day I ran out of spoons by 8am. It’s knife o’clock. MyBodyIsTryingToKillMe.com
A profile photo of cat with a dark brown face and cream body. His blue eyes are staring at nothing and the tip of his pink tongue is hanging out in a perfect blep. No thoughts. Only blep.
A close-up of white woman’s face, with barely open eyes. A fuzzy blue blanket reaches up to her chin. Pharnsworth, a large black tuxedo cat with white toes snuggles on top of the blanket and gently touches her chin and bottom lip with his paw.
A Siamese cat with cream body and dark brown face is sitting up with a blue fuzzy blanket wrapped around his shoulders. He is on a large cat bed and looking at you.
A small, mostly black tuxedo cat with white toes, white chest patch, white whiskers, and yellow eyes sits on a counter top, looking straight at you. He has a lot to say.
A large fluffy tabby, cream and brown with white paws and black toe beans, lays on my lap as I lay in bed with my laptop. His hind legs are pulled up between his front legs and you can see a few toe beans. His face is serene and content. He is purring.
An image of a sun rising above mountaintops with lots of cloud cover and light streaking the sky. Text overlay reads: You’ve survived 100% of your worst days. Congrats on the streak, I guess.
A mostly black tuxedo cat with white paws and a white chest and belly is laying on a cardboard window perch. He’s twisted onto his back with hind legs stretched to the side and front legs reaching towards you. Part of his belly is showing. His head is basically upside down and his mouth is open, showing off lots of teeth. The sun is bright and warm, powering his feline solar batteries. Orange flowers peek through the window behind him.
A fluffy tan and brown tabby is being sneaky inside a large cardboard box filled with brown packing paper. Only his face is visible, though one eye is hidden behind the paper. He looks wide-eyed and slightly guilty, caught in the act of trespassing inside his brother’s box nest.
A small black cat with white whiskers and yellow eyes is stretched out inside a large cardboard box full of brown packing papers. The papers half cover him. A few window slots for playing are cut into the box sides. If you look closely, you can his little white toes sticking out of one.
Photo of three cats sharing a large cat bed that’s covered in a fuzzy blue blanket. They are squished together and cuddled up. The elderly, shorthair Siamese-colored cat is at the back of the bed, where the heater is. The fluffy young tabby is beside him, resting his head on his butt. The young, mostly black, shorthair tuxedo is in front of them, resting his head on the Siamese’s shoulder. This cuddle puddle only last for a few minutes before the Siamese wriggled out, but it’s one of the only ones I have of all 3 cats together!
Two cats cuddle on a Serra orthopedic cat bed with a blue, fuzzy blanket. Sploot, a large, fluffy brown and cream tabby, is curled up almost on top of his brother, Fidget. Fidget, a small, mostly black tuxedo cat with white toes and belly, is sprawled out and doesn’t seem to mind. Sploot rests his head on his brother’s shoulder. Sploot ain’t heavy; he’s Fidget’s brother! (Who sometimes does very stinky poos!)
A mostly black with white whiskers and white toes sniffs a can of tangerine La Croix. A glass straw sticks out of the can and obscures one of his eyes. My white-lady hand holds the can so he doesn’t accidentally—or purposefully—knock it over.
A close-up of a brown, tan, and black fluffy tabby. You can see his long eyelashes over his light green eyes.
My (a white lady) hand with a pile of clear-ish cat nail trimmings. Some are thick and many are tiny needle points you can barely see. It was past time for a trim, as the 4 plasters hidden on my body out of frame can attest to. 3 are from yesterday! Just cats being cats, not even trying to get me.
A black cat (Fidget), fluffy black/brown tabby cat (Sploot), and cream/brown Siamese-type cat (Tinker) are cuddled up on a fuzzy teal blanket on my oversized armchair in that order. Fidget is curled into a sleepy ball. Sploot is sprawled out and has his eyes closed after he did a wash. Tinker has his head bent, touching Sploot. They take up the whole chair seat. Tinker just left the warm cat bed on the arm of the chair to join the cuddle puddle, which is unheard of. He generally avoids Fidget because he plays too aggressively and targets old man Tinker. Tinker came to ask Sploot for face washes and stayed to return the favor before heading on his way. Fidget stayed curled up and didn’t harass anyone. What a win!!!
A Siamese-colored cat with a dark brown face and ears is being held in an arm wearing an orange hoodie. A Christmas tree is in the background. The cat is staring at you with big, blue eyes and a content expression.
A Siamese-colored cat sleeps curled up, one arm draped over his face, and all his paws and legs piled together in a heap.
A small, mostly black tuxedo cat with white toes, cravat, and whiskers sits on a square of fabric on a carpeted floor. He’s looking at you with intelligent yellow eyes and wondering if you’ll play with him.
A photo with my hand holding onto a book in the foreground. Behind it, a small black cat with white paws is laying on my lap, staring at an iPad with a video made for cats. Wild birds eat from a pile of seeds on a stump.
Photo. A small, mostly cream Siamese-style cat called Tinker and a big, fluffy, brown tabby called Sploot are curled up together. 12yo Tinker is fully on a large, couch-shaped cat bed. 1.5yo Sploot is laying half on the bed, his head resting on Tinker’s flank, with the rest of him on the human bed underneath it. Both cats are peaceful and cozy.
Sploot, a large, fluffy brown tabby lays on his backside in a small, round bed. His back legs are splayed upward, black toe beans visible. His fluffy tail is curled up between them and over his fluffy belly. He is looking directly at the camera with a very concerned face.
A tuxedo cat, all his white hidden in this photo except his white whiskers, is wrapped around my arm as I lie in bed, probably with a fibromyalgia flare. Only my arm is visible. The rest of me is under blankets or not in the photo. The cat is curled up, sleeping, so that his forehead is resting on my forearm, his hips are under my hand, and his tail is wrapped around my forearm.
A small black cat sits on top of a speech button board, which sits beneath a TV. He is looking up at the TV and watching a video of blue jays and cardinals eating at a bird feeder.
A very sad Siamese cat has a reddish, bald spot above his right eye and the eye is rimmed with red. The eye is also a little swollen and weepy.
A closeup of a Siamese-ish cat being held by an arm in an orange hoodie. A green-lit Christmas tree is behind him. He is looking at you with big blue eyes. He knows he’s cute and can get away with anything.
A small tux cat and big fluffy tabby sit on a table looking at a pile of small paintbrushes, bottles of craft paint, and small paint palettes. A man’s hand is painting a ceramic star about the size of his palm while the tux cat stares at it. A smaller ceramic star is in the foreground to show the craft I’m working on.
A black and white cat sits mostly inside a large box on its side. The box is filled with brown packing paper. A pink shoelace is on top of the box. A wand toy with feathers is also on top of the box. The cat only has eyes for knotted, dirty white shoelace bunched and tangled at the end of a wand toy with some of the shoe land dangling down in front of him.
A drawing of four foxes sitting and staring straight at you. Above the foxes is the word “Oh.” Below the foxes is the word “Sake.” Taken altogether, it is “Oh four fox sake,” or “oh for fucks sake.”
A still frame of Tofu the cat holds a fish toy in one paw, next to his ear, like he’s on the phone and looks at the camera as if you’re interrupting.
A woman in a cream beanie and glasses holds a cream cat with dark brown ears. The cat is tucked up under her chin like a scarf and is facing away from the camera. He’s looking at the red glow of an outdoor heater, as seen through the wire panels of the closed in patio, AKA the catio.
A fluffy tabby cat poses over a very large maple leaf. The brown leaf is bigger than his face! He managed to bring this in through the cat door without breaking it.
A Siamese-colored cat—cream body with brown face and ears and blue eyes—in profile from the neck up. The tip of his bright pink tongue is sticking out because he forgot to put it away after giving himself a wash OR because it’s locked and loaded for giving his human some licks.
A woman makes an amused face as a small black cat tries to climb underneath her sweater’s hood—which she’s also wearing! His head and shoulders are under the hood, next to her cheek, while his back end is hanging out and angled onto her chin.
A man in an orange hoodie holds a black cat such that his front legs (and white paws) are dangling. A large section of brown paper bag is attached to the bag handle, which is around the cat’s neck. It’s very loose and not harming the cat. He somehow got stuck and ripped it off the bag.

A very large box covered in the Home Depot logo is laying on the floor with the flaps almost completely closed. A fluffy grey and tan tabby sits next to it and stares at it. Why? Upon very close inspection, two small cat toes—white with a smidge of a black foot visible—are sticking out between the box flaps. Someone is inside the box and ready to play!
A small, black cat with white toes is wearing a green and orange harness with a green leash. He’s perched on a moss-covered tree stump and looking out over an overgrown spot of Pacific Northwest yard. Lots of green things and trees surrounding it.
A small black cat with white paws and whiskers sit on a windowsill and peeks around curtains so he can rest a front paw on a floor lamp and stare into the lamp’s can-shaped, upturned head.
A fluffy, cream, white, black, and grey tabby with long white whiskers sits on my lap and looks up at me/the camera. His green eyes are rimmed with cream lines that make him appear more wide-eyed than he actually is.
A black cat with white whiskers big yellow eyes around a blue, tied-back curtain from the windowsill behind it. His white paw rests on a copper floor lamp that’s pointed up. He’s about to shove his head in the lamp. For right now, the light illuminates his cute face from below and the shadow effect gives him a spooky look.
A fluffy cream, white, and brown tabby cat sits on the bed surrounded by neatly rolled and folded clothes. He looks very annoyed that I told you the truth about his contributions to laundry day.
A Siamese-looking cat with cream body, brown face/ears, and blue eyes looks down from the top shelf in a clothes closet. He’s surrounded by blue fabric bins and is sitting on an orange and white comforter.
A fluffy tabby cat lays on his side on a teal blanket. He had a yellow catnip banana toy between his front paws and his pink tongue is licking his nose. His fluffy tail is curled up between his back paws because he was just bunny-kicking the banana. He’s looking at the camera, very proud of his hunting skills.
A closeup of my right eye. My eye is closed. Above it, just under my eyebrow, is a frown-shaped cut with rounded ends. It’s about a half-inch/ 1 cm long. The cut is deep and the scabbing is thick and red. Luckily, there isn’t any bruising.
A fluffy cream, brown, and grey tabby cat lays on a grey kitchen counter, to the side of the kitchen sink, so he can look out the window. His ears are alert and his back feet and hips are splayed out to the side in a “semi-sploot.” He is watching for those wily, outdoor flying bugs!
Black, tan, white, and grey foam hexagons that hold pet speech buttons are arranged on the floor. Printed on them is the name FluentPet and their logo: a paw print in a speech bubble. A large, yellow button sits alone on the black hexagon and has “SCRITCHES” written on a white label. The SCRITCHES button is not an official FluentPet button. 11 smaller, white FluentPet buttons are inserted into slots meant for them in other foam hexagons in the background.
A small tuxedo cat with white toes, whiskers, and chest sits inside a cardboard box and on the blue box it contains. The word “Fluent” can be seen on the blue box. The cat is looking directly at the camera with a “can we do something NOW?!” look on his face. A colorful carpet runner and part of a shoe rack are visible behind him. (The blue box contains more FluentPet speech buttons for his growing collection.)
