EEEEEEEE! This is amazing! Just look at it!

And some more pictures of Kleya, the Kleyanator, Kleyasaurus Rex, Kleya Cleverclocks, and my Kleine Kleyatje ❤️

Happy First Birthday to Kleya! You are a beautiful , stubborn sweetheart. You are so intelligent, and hopefully someday you will be wise as well. You can be sharp, but you are always loving and the biggest snugglebug I have ever met. You are so loving and I love you back so much!

When @caledoniancrow.bsky.social and I simultaneously accidentally buy the same thing for the house, we always exclaim that it's the [gift] of the Magi, because we're weird and I love it. Last night it was "It's the Toothbrushes of the Magi!"

We *are* weird, and I love you!

Two cats. The younger, a tabby with a white ruff, is peeing warily around a curtain. She’s watching the older cat, a torti-tabby with a white ruff and muzzle. The older cat is looking at the camera with an expression that can be anthropomorphized to “can you believe this nonsense?”

Kleya and Ripley, part the fourth:

Inching towards maybe almost tolerating each other at least some of the time.

Now live for a couple hours to play Outer Worlds 2!

Tabby cat with a white belly and paws. She is on her back twisted in a way only available to a feline spine. Her head is tilted and her tongue is out.

It seems appropriate to point out here that the name the shelter gave her was Grace.

Tabby cat with a white ruff and paws (this is Kleya) on a chair. She is leaning down over one side with one paw extended. Her gaze is fixed on the torti-tabby (Ripley) siting underneath the chair. Ripley is stoically ignoring Kleya to the best of her ability.

Ripley and Kleya: The Saga Continues

They tell you your job is SO EASY when they have no idea how to do it.

Tabby kitten with white paws. Curled up on her side on a cat tree hammock. Her head is twisted so that you can see one eye while the rest of her face is hidden behind paws. Her expression screams mischief.

This goofball.

This adorable, chaotic, lovable, bitey, silly, alarmingly intelligent, blissfully common sense-free, sweet, exasperating, and very cherished goofball.

Come look! @76trombones.bsky.social is doing a fundraiser marathon for the Greater Boston Food Bank on his stream. Come stop by and cheer him on, and if you can make a donation, you’ll make his day www.twitch.tv/76trombones

Stream is moved to tomorrow starting at 6pm Eastern! We are raising money for the Greater Boston Area Food Bank

Two cats. On top of the kitchen table is the younger cat, a tabby kitten. Under the table is the older cat, a torti-tabby with a white ruff. They both look at the camera with a wary air.

Ripley and Kleya, part the second

Tabby kitten with a white ruff, lying on a grey fleece blanket. Her tongue is slightly out in the tiniest of bleps, and her facial expression indicates that not a single thought inhabits her skull

Kleya, wondering if she really should have made wisdom her dump stat.

Don’t worry, her intelligence is plenty high. She just uses it for chaos.

Tabby kitten peeking through the bannister posts. Just her head and one paw are visible.

‘Sup?

She looks so blissfully comfortable

Small tabby kitty lying down in a paper grocery bag. Her face is framed by the handle as she looks up. Far behind her, the older cat sits under a table, watching the kitty warily.

@melissacaruso.bsky.social took this picture of Kleya with Ripley in the background, and I think it’s just such a perfect encapsulation of my silly girls

I cannot decide which of these pictures of Kleya I like better.

One is adorable and slightly absurd. The other is straight-up gorgeous.

Ripley and Kleya had another meet ‘n greet this evening. Kleya was desperate to play and Ripley was Deeply Uninterested.

Now our girl is enjoying some relaxation time away from her chaos goblin sister.

Kleya, enjoying the view from my desk this afternoon.

Tortie kitten sitting on a table. She has her mouth open and looks delighted

Who has four paws and is finally out of quarantine?

Torti-tabby kitten enthusiastically wrestling with a feathered cat wand

Pretty sure she’s playing air guitar here

I’ve got my copy! You should get yours! Deva is an amazing author (and human) and I’m excited to read her first adult fantasy book ❤️

I have titled this portrait:

Subtitled:

I Am A Sucker For Sad, Lazy Kittens

@76trombones.bsky.social !!!!!!
This may not be the *most* me gift ever, but it’s in the top 5!

I already have my copy!
You should get yours!

She’s getting better! She’s starting to figure out that being bitey or scratchy means that the fun humans leave the room for a little while.

I can see her trying to be gentle lately. But then she gets super hyped up and *snickersnack*

Let’s just say that Liquid Bandaid and I have become very good friends 😸

Don’t be fooled by this fluffy belly. Kleya is fully in her Baby Velociraptor Era.
