Against a white background of many black ink drawings of clocks, a dilute tortoiseshell cat, with soft gray fur and cream and orange patches, Lying down with her patchy paws tangled in thick, red, yarn, with an orange felt toy buried half under her belly.

Close up on the head of a Gray tabby cat with creamy. Fur under his chin and around his eyes, the triangular alert ears are against the background of a white. Green bordered bedspread against a sky blue day bed arm. And pillow. While his eyes are closed in bliss. And his mouth appears to be smiling, with perky white whiskers on the upright side springing into glorious profusion.

Why I said "yes" because I knew he'd be trouble for someone. Not surprised he asks for extra from his cat/person colony.

But we all agree his heart is pure.

Against a background of blurred spring crocus, a photo of a cat, lying down, has been layered on, to float gently above the blossoms, as though he is half-asleep on them.

The Trump administration is slashing food stamps. Here's what they're buying instead. A handmade Japanese flute. Fruit basket stands. Sushi prep tables. While four million Americans face losing food assistance, the Pentagon recently had its largest single-month spending spree on…

Somewhere, paid for with your tax dollars, are $12,540 worth of three-tiered fruit basket stands. It’s a symptom of a much larger problem.

A photo illustration with a lovely aurora borealis with two green bunches of streaks across a purple blue sky dominates most of the frame with the bottom fourth showing a misty frozen lake with many black boulders visible above the surface. Tucked into the foreground is a giant tortoiseshell cat crouched on the ice, with fluffy gray fur touched with patches of cream and orange.

A photo illustration has a background of a Hubble photo, a sky full of deep space stars, with green ocean waves beneath it. A black cat is seemingly afloat on the ocean in her round, beige, carpeted cat tree top. She has one foreleg clutching the side, the other hanging down casually, while her head, with golden eyes, is tilted playfully on its side.

We have to actually be cool. Cats are very attuned to our moods. They make excellent deductions from our thoughts.

Maybe we shouldn't elect stupid people?

Just a thought...

Oh those looks…

And yet, I regret nothing.

Two look alike kittens, old enough to develop longer legs and more expressive faces, are approaching the camera lens at floor level, gray tabbies with lighter underbellies. The one in the front is on their foot, worried face somewhat blurred by the speed of their eagerness to place their body between the camera holder and the kitten further back and somewhat behind him, whose body is alert and sitting upright, and is somewhat clearer in focus. They are on a beige colored carpet and runner, with cherrywood drawers in the background.

Against the background of a blue daybed with a celadon green blanket piled on the low arm, with a bookcase visible beyond. A round cat face with puffy, soft, gray fur and big round gold eyes looks up from being half covered by a white linen cloth, with one foreleg also free and clutching a cat toy made of red and orange wool. She has streaks of white on the right side of her face, and much less of this color on the left side of her face, making her a splitfaced Tortie.

Lou Costello's first cuddle. Four days in, he hopped right up -- don't touch him -- and slowly got in my lap.

A photo illustration is of a gray tabby cat, whose head, shoulders, and front legs, with relaxed paws, are draped over a mossy wooden bench, with sunlit meadow behind him. His face is intent, with eyes focused on the canera lens.

Bud is tall, dark, and tabby. But I always think my cats are incredibly attractive.

Even when I acquire them at a low point, when they are factually, not.

I fell in love with that big brave heart.
