Bathed in blue light, a short-haired black cat (Theda) is lying on her back in a bed. She’s gazing at the camera with smiley eyes.

Theda keeps doing this, just chilled out on her back until she dozes off.

She allows -or demands- tum fussing. No laceration trap, all soft.

It’s the best.

A long-haired tuxedo cat (Buster) is looking off camera to the left, underlit. There’s a pinkish hue to his normally white fur patch around his nose and mouth.

A long-haired tuxedo cat (Buster) is looking off camera, up at the ceiling, underlit. The pinkish hue is a little more evident under the nose.

(Buster) is looking to the left and down, brightly underlit. The pinkish hue is now more visible on the bridge of his nose.

SOMEone has been exploring the jar just emptied of hibiscus/rose decoction and has dyed his whites a blushy pink.

Please take one minute and twenty two seconds with the sound up for this.

A photo of a little black gothic cat tree with a church on top, inside of which is a short-haired black cat (Theda). Beside her on a lower platform but standing with his front paws on the church platform is a long-haired tuxedo cat (Buster). They’re both looking at the camera.

The next shot is a second layer, the black cat leaning back a bit and the tuxedo cat raising one paw. Neither looking at the camera now.

Another second later and now the tuxedo cat is caught mid-biff - he has smacked his sister in the face. There is an action blur on his flattened ears and striking paw. The black cat hasn’t even had time to react yet.

A second after the last shot. Their person, who is taking the photos, has done a little shout: “Heyyyy!”. The tuxedo cat is sitting prettily as though he can’t conceive of what you think you saw. The black cat is looking a little stunned, with a visibly sad expression o her face. Both looking at the camera now.

A tragic tale in four images.

Theda, a short-haired glossy black cat, relaxing on a shelf and looking up with big moony yellow eyes

Theda, a short-haired black cat, lying on a person’s lap, looking up adoringly.

Theda, a short-haired black cat, yawning mightily, on a psychedelic-sheet clad bed surrounded by pillows and a weighted blanket. Squared cubical shelves behind her hold clothes.

Theda, a short-haired black cat, in a dark room, eyes peering flatly, a pink-tongued blep clearly visible.

Happy National Black Cat Day

Buster, a long-haired tuxedo cat, in happier times, sitting in a huge carved wooden bowl on a coffee table

Me to my kitten: Don’t claw at those papers. Don’t do it. I’m moving your paws away from the- no, don’t do it.

Buster: *jerks paw back from papers, frantically licks between his toes*

Me: Paper cut, huh?

(Yes. Now we get to monitor that for a while.)

A front-facing selfie taken as proof that my naps don’t take because I can’t reach REM. I’m giving dude eye to the camera with my jaw squeezed shut by the weight of a long-haired tuxedo kitten that is already bigger than most grown cats.

A crooked shot of a black short-haired Bombay kitten looking blearily at the camera from a bed covered with a psychedelic sheet in bright colors, in a clearing made by pushing aside a bunch of bedding, still visible: a grey weighted blanket, a small cushion, a pillow, and a charge cord. And her human guardian (not pictured).

1. He’s squishing my mouth shut but he’s so deep in twitchy dreamland he can’t even pretend to care.

2. Now that there’s a clear spot for her next to the unfortunate human, she’s prepared to care, and also snuggle.

A photo of a fluffy tuxedo kitten sleeping upside down. You see one paw (beans) and the underside of his chin and a bit of his tiny nose. Slight blep.

They kept checking the window to make sure they couldn’t get a better shot. (Only crows out there.)

A sleek black kitten sitting firmly on the throat of a fluffy tuxedo kitten.

Sleek black kitten sitting and licking her tail beside a now-liberated fluffy tuxedo kitten who’s splayed twisty-upside down in a mess of limbs and rucked fur and his whole tongue out.

I’m not saying she TRIED to kill him but I did have to intervene. He acted appropriately dramatic afterwards.
