Blurry photo of a black cat sitting on a ghostly half-finished golem against a gray background.
Sitting out here on the screened porch with Mr. Albrecht, in the dark, and appreciating black coffee and my ability to tolerate chronic sleep deprivation.

View of not-quite-half of my face and left shoulder, with Mr. Albrecht (black, sleek, cat) resting his head on said shoulder and letting one leg hang down and give me a gentle hug.
Mr. Albrecht is the more aloof, standoffish one.
Except when he's not.

Mr. Albrecht (sleek, black, pyriform, cat), enjoying a morning cuddle on my chest. He's looking at me as if to say, "Why haven't you given me extra treatsies, Mister?"
Oh hell yes.

Mr. Otto, who is gray and fluffy and a cat, curled on my lap under the big dinner table.
Mr. Albrecht, who is black and a cat, using my thigh almost as a counter. He has wares if you have cash.
Today's the day!

There are two cats: one gray, in the front, and one black, behind. They are arranged in a single cat bed (which sits at the top of a cat tower), viewed from the side. Gray cat, Otto, is visible as an adorable face and a paw emerging over the rim of the bed. Black cat, Albrecht, is behind Otto. The top of his head and one eye are visible; one paw emerges from behind Otto. Much of the rest of him appears as a mysterious black presence behind and above Otto, because Albrecht is arranged on the rim of the cat bed. They are in love. I know this to be true.
I'm in a generous mood, so you're getting a pair of big 'ole softies for #SCS.

Two cats sharing a cat bed. On the left, a gray fuzzball (long hair). On the right, a sleek black number. The fuzzball has his face buried in the black number. It's ... a little suggestive. Both are viewed from behind, a touch of quasi-anonymity that only bolsters the sense that the viewer is peering into a moment that is not intended for them to see.
... ... ... no comment.

Half of a mookish face in the lower left. Above, the back of a floofy gray cat hangs over the edge of a cat bed; his tail (feather duster?) hangs over the side. Next to it, another tail (black tail!), which belongs to his brother.
Afternoon nap.

Two cats sharing the cat bed at the top of a cat tree. The cat whose head is on the left is gray, unreasonably fluffy, and impossibly cute: it's Otto! The cat whose head is on the right is sleek, black and stylish: it's Albrecht! Albrecht is mostly behind Otto, save for his front right paw, which is giving Otto a hug, of sorts (cats aren't really huggers, lacking as they do certain necessary articulations in their forelegs).
We could be doing this but, (a) you're not a cat, and (b) neither am I.

Mr. Albrecht, coming in for a sniffing. (shiny black cat!)
Mr. Otto doing … something? on the stairs and staring at the camera. (extremely floofy gray cat.)
Un-departing shall be sweet, sweet un-sorrow!
Until then, every moment is like crawling on broken glass.
(not really, i’m a big boy.)

Two cats in a basket-shaped cat bed on top of a cat tree, one gray (foreground), one black (background). The wall behind them is green. The gray cat has his front right leg dangling over the side of the cat tree and a mildly annoyed expression on his face (eyes half-closed but without the other signs of contentment that half-closed eyes usually signal). The black cat has his ears half-back. They are Albrecht (black) and Otto (gray), and they are perfect.
Today's the day, boys! TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!
#ottotimes #albrechttimes #catsofbluesky #catsky #skycats #cats
Mr. Albrecht (black, rrrrrounded, cat - soulful yellow eyes), looking up at the camera. The floor is covered in fiberboard to protect against the jackbooted thugs* from the renovators, marching up and down the stairs all day. *they are actually very nice and doing a lovely job, I just hate construction.
Mr. Otto, curled against my chest. His eyes are half-closed and his paws are folded in front of him. He knows he's beautiful. (Mr. Otto is more fur than cat, but he's gray and beautiful and that's what counts.)
Missing U.
#Ottotimes #Albrechttimes #catsofbluesky #catsky #skycats #cats #blackcats #voidkitties
Mr. Albrecht, who is a black cat of shortish fur and very cute complexion. He's sitting in one of his favorite spots, a crocheted throw that features every ugly color that the 70s gave us.
Mr. Otto, who is very furry, very gray, and very adorable (and a cat!), sitting on my chest. There's a disembodied hand behind his head, scratching it. His left front paw is curled up in the foreground, he's using his right as a pillow.
Les Boys are less than bright-eyed this morning, but Otto's definitely got a bushy tail.

Mr. Albrecht, ensnoozed on a multicolored crocheted blanket.
Mr. Albrecht, despite being a sleek black cat, is less than excited about today being "his special day."
#Albrechttimes #Catsofbluesky #catsky #skycats #cats #voidkitties #blackcats
Albrecht (left, black, cat) and Otto (right, gray, fur, also possibly cat), curled up together.
The high point the day was waiting to spend money on concert tickets, but I’m on my way back to Les Boys so things are truly looking up.
#albrechttimes #ottotimes #catsofbluesky #catsky #skycats #cats
Mr. Otto, nestled on my chest and using one paw as a pillow / face cover. (gray cat! long fur! breed: ???)
Mr. Albrecht sitting next to my leg, resting his front paws on my thigh and looking directly at the camera. (black cat! short hair! mutt/rescue!)
Cannot.
CANNOT.
Get home to these little buggers soon enough.

Mr. Otto, gracing my lap during dinner. He's curled up with his face buried in my knee. One paw rests on the gingham napkin that is now useful mostly as a source of gray fur, not so much so for wiping one's face.
Mr. Albrecht, looking straight into the camera and saying ... well, nothing, he's a cat. He's got his two front paws on an anonymous, jeans-clad thigh. The rest of him his hidden behind the thigh.
It was a two-cat evening.
#Ottotimes #Albrechttimes #catsofbluesky #catsky #skycats #cats #voidkitties #blackcats
Mr. Otto in his cat bed, eyes hooded with sleepiness as he slowly rouses himself. For dinner. Because he's a lazy cat.
Mr. Albrecht, acting mildly put out as he rouses himself from a nap in his cat bed. He is a generously-proportioned black cat; you'd think he'd *want* to get up for dinner...
These two bounders are so lazy they need to be woken up for dinner.

Les Boys, sharing a snuggletime. Mr. Albrecht (left), black and sitting on a crocheted.... thing? Mr. Otto (right), gray and sitting not on the crochete.... thing.
In the winter, we snuggle.
When we're Les Boys, we snuggle on the shelf over a radiator.

I'm just a total slut.
(for laptime with Les Boys.)
#Albrechttimes #Ottotimes #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #Skycats #Cats #Blackcats #Voidkitties
Mr. Otto (gray fur, gray nose, silver edging on his paw, yes that's right, he's a cat), snuggled up on my chest with his head cocked to the side and front right paw folded under his right cheek. His eye is in the, "I'm not asleep yet, but I will be soon, just keep making with the pets" position. A mysterious and misshapen set of knuckles (they belong to me) is just visible: I'm petting him.
Mr. Albrecht, who is quite black and furry and is also a cat, viewed straight on while staring at the camera. Slightly blurry because this phone, for all the AI stuffed into it, has not learned that I am trying to take cat photos over here.
Les Boys, I'm a-comin' home: just a matter of hours now, my dears!
#Ottotimes #Albrechttimes #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #Skycats #Cats #Blackcats #Voidkitties
Mr. Otto having a shoulder ride and giving the camera one of his better, "No photos" looks.
Mr. Albrecht, snoozing on a multicolored (70s-tastic) crocheted blanket.
Les Boys are about as excited as I to be ringing in the morning today.

Mr. Albrecht, luxuriating on the floor (it's papered over b/c home construction).
Mr. Otto, mugging for the camera. I recognize the look: he is fixing to tear off into the other room at a speed only playful cats and influencers seeking a buck can achieve unaided.
I am happy to report that, if the "proof of life" photos our minder for Les Boys sent for today are accurate, Les Boys are in a fine fettle.
#Albrechttimes #Ottotimes #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #Skycats #Cats #blackcats #voidkitties
Mr. Otto, being cute.
Mr. Albrecht, also being cute.
Such a balm and a comfort to know that Les Boys are in good hands, and doing well.
#Ottotimes #Albrechttimes #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #Skycats #Cats #voidkitties #blackcats
I’m going to close out #FCF with this furry belly.
Bonus furry behind: not for #humpday, but because it’s the back end of the week.

Les Boys in their, “hide from the construction crüe” spot in the basement. (photo courtesy of my li’l sister who’s helping take care of ‘em.)
I’m far, far away from Les Boys and it’s KILLING ME.

Mr. Otto, taking advantage of my lap as I eat dinner.
Mr. Albrecht is just so beautiful.
Les boys, evening.
