My nap with mom's stinky work bag was interrupted. 😾 #rude
On a positive note, the packing paper is one of my favorite "toys". #Shoutout to Chewy for using it in their boxes. I also use the boxes for my art projects, but this paper is 🔥!

I am still a kitten and having been exposed to this poster, I now feel the need to take up cartoon smoking with fake, 2D cigarettes. Please send paper and paints or colored pencils. I am now addicted to art. 🙀

The artist at work. I am mom's first artist cat and she thinks it's odd I am shrinking my squirrel watching pad. But she just doesn't understand my work.

Fergus the orange and white cat is belly up with both front paws raised above his head. Eyes closed, he looks like he's smiling as though pleased with himself.

First pit airing of 2025. Stay fresh, friends! 😼

Fergus, an orange and white cat, lies on his side on a dark, faux wood floor; eyes looking at the camera. He is very brightly illuminated to the point where he almost glows.

Does anyone else's human have fake sun? I mean I like the sun, don't get me wrong, but I'm not so sure about this fake stuff. It doesn't even give off heat! Mom says it's not for me anyway. But isn't everything for me?!?

A small book entitled, "Four Little Kittens" written in orange over a sepia tone photo of four kittens dressed in pajama gowns. They are on a set of kitten sized stairs standing upright, each with a single paw over the kitten sized railing. There is a small, unlit candle in a dish at the top of the stairs.

Black text says, "Our Version of the Antique Original".

@catsofyore.bsky.social Thought you might like this book my human has. It was published in 1982 and given as a joint gift to my human's grandma and great-grandma. They lived next door to one another at the time. The 2nd photo is the inside "tribute" page.

Fergus an orange and white cat is seen in an upright, almost human sitting position leaning against the back and arm of a dark blue chair. He is asleep with his head upright, mouth just slightly open, and chin pushed back, looking like a derp.

Side view of Fergus in his derpy sleeping position showing how far back his head is leaning while still not hitting the back of the chair. His arms are clearly extended downward and into his "lap", like a human might do.

I'm starting to think mom has ulterior motives for playtime. She has been taking way too many pictures of me sleeping. She says it's because I am just #socute while sleeping. Um, #Invasionofprivacy! I mean look at these shots of me after falling asleep sitting up! Does the world need to see these?!

He looks friendly! A cuddle monster, perhaps. One that draws you in and steals a piece of your heart. 🧡

I am following all of you now! I take my paw work hints from the OG @bitchesthecat.bsky.social. My predecessors studied her work and passed down the knowledge. I learn from her students now!

Once the zoomies start, there is no stopping them! I am sure Kevin understood. Or at least learned he may need to dodge next time. 😹 He is a good looking guy!

Thank you! I try to maintain a flawless look even while I create chaos and mayhem. 😼

Thank you! 🧡

I don't run from the machine if it's off, but mom gives me a warning verbally and by turning it on and off quickly. Then I know she means business and I skedaddle! I guess my predecessors didn't even leave the room when it was on. So brave!

Thank you! Yes, I am very relaxed now and able to be myself! Everything was scary once. Now I only hide from the vacuum, but come right back out when mom says it's safe again.

I don't enjoy mom going to work or her 15 hour recovery sleep sessions on days off. I also don't like when mom is sad or stressed. And I don't like when she doesn't share her food and says, "Not for Fergus". 😾 No, no! All for Fergus! #getinmybelly

My favorite toys are balls, the rainbow string toy, and my robot car. I enjoy watching the squirrels and crows, digging in the plants, attacking mom's hands, stealing mom's food, begging for food, food, after poop zoomies, cuddles, grooming mom, belly rubs, and did I mention food? 2/3

Fergus, an orange and white tabby cat is seen lying down with eyes closed, face looking over his left shoulder. Front paws out stretched towards camera and crossed, left over right, at the wrist. He looks smug.

I turned 8 months old yesterday! (Nov. 29) Mom had to work again, so I was unable to make the announcement earlier. I am 4.5 kg/ 9.9 lbs now and can get into so much more trouble now that I'm bigger.😼🧵1/3

I don't know what it is either! Mom can't drink it anymore. (She got Midnight when she was 8.) But I suspect it's magical, because yogurt is magical and I guess it's used to make that?!

*High paw* to Amanda! I enjoy the water leftover from mom's shower after it has cooled down. Mom says I am a "swamp water cat", but I was found in the dry part of Texas!

Mom's black cat Midnight would only paw drink milk, but she did enjoy sticking her whole arm in the fish tank. 🙈

Such a cute face! I can see why you gave in.😻

Maybe I will grow out of it, or just gain more patience, but expectations are low. I also drink water out of every container I find water in. Cups, plant pots, watering can, the bathtub... I have 5 water bowls, but I still go for other sources.😹

I was eating a late-night ham sandwich in Ella's first month home. Spouse worked a lot of overnight shifts, so, we were on a late schedule. But, the girl was determined, then ended up not giving a meow about it.

So far the only thing I haven't wanted to eat is plain white rice and brussel sprouts. I tried mom's butternut squash dal that had a serrano pepper in it. She assumed the spiciness would put me off. It did not. But apparently I am not allowed to eat Indian food!😾 Except roti or naan.😋

After having two cats who had no interest in human food, mom is trying to adjust to my food stealing... I mean sharing ways. 😼😹

Oh no! It's already started. 🙀 I just hope it stops eventually, or we won't fit anymore!

She's going to be so weirded out when your lap shrinks. I know, because my mom's lap has gotten smaller and smaller. It's truly a mystery!

That's a great smile! 😺

Fergus, an orange and white cat, is seen in the background. He is alert with front paws hanging over the side of the black surface he is laying on as he stares ahead intently. In the foreground in his direct line of sight is the rim of a yellow bowl with a spoon in it.

Just a brief PSA that "Sharing is Caring". You may assume that the food you prepared is yours, but in fact it is ours. Thank you for your understanding on this sensitive topic. Now pass the bowl!

That box could have said so many amazing things and still been accurate. Such is the greatness of Sport.

A black pot filled with several dark purple, Mom of Millions succulent plants sits on a wire shelf. There is a large section of flattened and bare stems in the pot as though a bomb went off just above the mini succulent forest and flattened it.

A black pot filled with several dark purple, Mom of Millions succulent plants sits on a wire shelf. On the left in the foreground a large white furry paw and arm are seen atop flattened succulent stems. Just the tips of the toes on the left white furry paw are seen behind the front paw. The paws are massive in size compared to the tiny succulent "trees".
