An orange cat sniffing a red hat.

Debbie is inspecting my second resistance hat. She would prefer to eat it in its raw form but is supportive of the message. #fuckice

It’s #caturday. A lovely day. I haven’t been posting lately since I’m in Minneapolis. Then, I thought, #fuckice. Here is Harry admiring my first resistance hat 🧶❤️

A tiny orange cat with large round eyes.

Being in Minneapolis is rough these days but I won’t let the bastards get me down. It’s #caturday after all. Here is Debbie looking like one of those mid century sad eyed kid pictures.

Today ICE agents took my picture and ran away! They must find me both handsome and intimidating

Two orange cats lounging in wall mounted hammocks.

For #caturday here is Debbie and Harry using their hammocks as intended. Usually the lower remains empty even though it is exactly the same as the upper. Cats, man.

Look at this winter freakin wonderland

It’s #caturday and Debbie is trying to get a little hammock fight going with Harry. Harry isn’t having it.

I’ve been a bit absent lately with a very busy holiday schedule. With a full day off, Debbie has been lovingly attached all day. So nice to be home. #catsofbluesky

Today my husband @chugarden.bsky.social and I did identical Wordles independently, both in 4. On our 9th wedding anniversary!! Here are our first three words

It’s #caturday. Here is Debbie and my dear husband Ash enjoying a fire on a cold Minnesota night.

An orange cat staring longingly at an unlit fire.

About this time every day in the cold Minnesota winter, Harry stares, waiting for me to turn on the fire. #catsofbluesky

Some stalks of Brussels sprouts with leaves still attached, occupying most of a bathtub

So @chugarden.bsky.social harvested the Brussels sprouts from under the snow and now they are thawing out. Seems like the thawing of the sprouts might be a pleasant holiday tradition

For #caturday here is Debbie enjoying some black bamboo. In Minnesota it doesn’t stand a chance in the winter weather but Debbie is fairly small. It has a fighting chance inside.

Orange cat sleeping near pillows.

Harry enjoying a new mushroom pillow. How do they instantly find the tiniest change in the house? Seems perfect for leaning on a #caturday.

Mandolin and beer and I am completely content

A throwback for #caturday. Harry looking intense on a lamp. In reality, Harry is far from intense and there is no way he is fitting on a lamp these days.

Trees in fall colors glow against a silvery sky

Voted! @chugarden.bsky.social and I were 770 and 772 in W1-P5. Felt joyful to vote for @dewayneforminneapolis.com, @elliottpayne.org, @engy5150.bsky.social and more!

It’s #caturday and Debbie is adorably in my spot. I guess I will need to find another seat.

A man in an orange jacket holds out his hand. A tiny chickadee perches on his fingers, considering which sunflower seed to eat

My buddy took me to Wisconsin and it was preposterously awesome. A chickadee ate from my freaking hand! It was so tiny, it had no weight, I could only feel its tiny talons

We believe these handsome rabbits might be siblings. They have similar ginger fur & aquiline noses

Happy #caturday! Here is Harry intensely staring at his bunny pal while his bunny pal stares intensely at Harry.

This sweet summer child of a rabbit seems to want to be friends with the cats

Tiny orange cat paws, crossed.

It’s #caturday and Debbie is demurely crossing her ridiculously tiny paws.

My new #crochet project is really bringing out Harry’s eyes. Happy #caturday!

Now that we can post our own gifs, here’s our new Minnesota Pride flag 🎉

Happy #caturday from Debbie and Harry

I received a trail camera for my birthday from my husband @chudgar.com. We have a raccoon in the yard. They eat my corn but you can’t deny they are photogenic 😀
