Ear tipped black cat looking up at me from my brown office carpet with huge innocent eyes. The pic is shot from above, and it looks a little like he has no legs from this angle.
Hamlet, feeling zero regrets for dodging around me to sneak onto the porch to steal porch cat food, and then hiding from me under furniture.

Lydia says hi (she likes to sit in boxes)
I do want to make the correction that bats cannot spread rabies unless they bite you, not just by holding them, which I feel like I wasnt clear enough about, but otherwise I am happy how it turned out!
My first podcast appearance was published today! Thank you to City Cast DC for inviting me to talk about bats! dc.citycast.fm/podcasts/rab...
Aww, they are all adorable
Your cat is adorable! What is their name?

Huntingdon, PA for Juniata Homecoming
Two cats on the back of my computer chair which is covered in a black fleece blanket with white pawprints. A smol but getting rounder calico is bent over and looking to one side with big eyes. A bigger ear tipped black cat is sitting up straighter, but also with giant eyes, looking in an entirely different direction. They both looks very confused, and the shot is a little blurry since they weren't perfectly still.
Action shot, lmao. Hamlet jumped on the back of my chair to bite Lumi in her butt, but she turned around and saw him. Suddenly they were both very confused about what was happening. 😂
