#CATWATCHING

Colour photo of tabby cat playing with a live bird it brought in through its cat flap at home. Cat, bird and rug are brown. Two thick white cables for two extension sockets are on the rug.

Dead brown mouse laying on brown and while speckled rug. Mouse was caught alive and brought home through cat flap by a tabby cat w Bengal traits. Cat played with mouse for at least 2 hours in night and left it on the rug for its hoomum to find and deal with upon waking several hours later.

Clive here. Night before last, I carried home a live #mouse thru my #cat flap, played chase & left it on rug for my hoomum to find. Today, I hauled a chirpy live #bird thru my cat flap, played chase 1 hr, got bored & went out to sun bathe while my hoomum freed it using a tea towel. 😺

Great shot of the magnificent darling PeggyPoo by Heleen @heleenvanriet.bsky.social. Fabulous cattitude. Real not AI.
Glad didn't have to wait for #Caturday to see the cheerful pic.
Those eyes and mesmerising look... Hid it from Clive. He's too young.

Colour photo of a cat's paw pads or beans. Next it is the cat's face with pink nose fast asleep upside down on a cobalt blue electric throw. The Toe Beans Those toe beans we love so much are technically called paw pads. Cats have three "sets" of paw pads or beans. One set is small and separate for each toe, and are called the digital pads. No, not because they're electronic or computerized; because they're part of the "digit" of the paw. The second pad is the large one in the center of their paws. These are called the metacarpal pads, because they're positioned under the metacarpal bones in the paw. (They're also called the metatarsal pads for the back paws, since rear/lower digits are technically the tarsals rather than the carpals.) Finally, they have a third pad, further back and up across from where the dew toe and dew claw are. This is the carpal pad, and they only exist on the front paws.

Pic of Clive's carpal pad, looks like heel bean.

Colour photo filled with bright orange striped tulips and yellow daffodils growing together with lots of lovely green stems and leaves.

My bio here shows links to my 2 #Bluesky a/c's #CATWATCHING & #INGRIDNETWORK aren't live 20/4 8pm BST. After much ado, login to this a/c worked. Don't know why can't access other 2. So I'm posting this to self because it's my #birthday & I feel like #BillyNoMates w no greetings from my #cat friends.

“You’re going to end up all alone with just a bunch of cats” isn’t quite the insult you think it is!" All animal lovers should be a #cat lady or cat man. Our world would be colder without them. Happy National Cat Lady Day! Love, Clive & 6 predecessors 🐱

Colour photo of my rescue moggie Clive, a brown tabby w Bengal traits. Curled up snoozing on my bed with his tail resting under his chin and one striped leg w white paw sticking out. Not sure which leg. Black device next to him on his cream fleece blankie is the remote control for our electric adjustable bed w memory foam mattress he loves.

Clive's mum here on sunny day in England. Me & Clive wish our friends here a stress free #Caturday. We've had enough of this wk: 3-day power cut, torches, solar lamp, sporadic web, Bluesky chaos, no hot food/drinks, 2 electric engineer visits. Now need naps & snacks every 2 hrs.

Colour photo of 11 yo short hair moggie. 50% SnowShoe. Cream and grey coat. Tabby head fur and ears. White legs, chest, lower face, pink nose. Cat is seated lounging on chair w mouth wide open yawning with pink tongue hanging out of lower mouth. White whiskers. Blue eyes. RIP Nigella March 2024 aged 12.

Here's my predecessor Nigella taking in air after a nap in my chair. Am told I would've adored her. She always yawned upon waking, no matter what time of day or night. Thrice daily I patrol territory she ruled as Queen for 10 years. Clive 🐱

Frankie found the perfect high spot in the room 🐾
Perched up on the shelf and watching everything from above like a true little supervisor.

Do your cats love finding the highest spot in the house too? 😸

What are you doing hooman? #cats #funnycats #gatti #catwatching

There’s just too much CHAOS everyday for my brain to process. I’m so sad for our country. Has it really only been 8 months?! In the meantime, I’ll watch Casper drink water…
#trumpchaos #catlover #catwatching

Frenchie is one of the sweetest #cats I ever met. Almost done #catwatching her. I’m going to miss having her over. She’s just a treat! ❤️😻

Looking at my cat looking at me. #CatWatching

It was already too warm yesterday, but we found our little quiet corner on the stairs.
I just wanted to capture her the way she watches the world like she remembers something I’ve forgotten. My heart, always, my Lira 🐶🐾❤️

A man sleeps on a bed with red blankets, while a cat peeks out beside him. The room is rendered in bold, flat color blocks, with vivid oranges and reds on one wall, and a cool-toned moonlit window on the other. The style mimics David Hockney’s modern pop aesthetic with strong shapes and saturated color.

In Bed with the Masters (David Hockney)

IBWTM is a series where one man and his cat pay homage to a different iconic artist each time. One bed. Infinite brushstrokes.

Exactly!! It's a wonder I ever manage to get anything done at all 😍 #catwatching
