DJ the black cat, curled up on a sunlit bed and snoozing in the sun with his paws stretched out.

This isn't even a monthly dose of DJ anymore, but today's #DailyDoseOfDJ is brought to you by the first 20°C day of the year, which the little man was delighted about.

Photo of DJ the black cat, lounging on a bed in the sunshine with a paw stretched out. Photo is obviously from last year; neither Deej nor I have seen the sun in what feels like months.

This might only be the second #DailyDoseOfDJ this year, but it's an important one: celebrating 4 years since the day we brought him home. 🥰

New year, new #DailyDoseOfDJ - taken on some expired film in one of his favourite sunny spots. 🎞️

DJ the black cat pawing at a dangling string of Christmas lights, which was subsequently repositioned to be NOT dangling.

"We're lucky that he ignores the tree every yea- GOOD LORD WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

(All we had to do was tuck the lights back up into the tree for him to resume ignoring them forever.)

DJ the black cat, sitting on my stomach while I lie in bed and staring straight ahead at the camera.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Went away for the weekend, so yesterday morning I woke up to a cat on my stomach, making sure I wasn't about to go anywhere else.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, stretching up to me with his claws out at the camera, while I sit at a computer desk. Looks a lot more menacing than it actually is - he's gearing up to jump on my lap, cuddle, and purr as loudly as an engine for the next half hour.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Forgot about Bluesky for a while again. Have returned to show you his extremely persuasive demands for cuddles.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat relaxes on a grey duvet, next to a red blanket and kneading the air while receiving cuddles.

Your not-actually-daily #DailyDoseOfDJ

Went away for the weekend; came back to the neediest (and kneadiest) little dude.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, lying on his back on a bed and looking up lovingly.

It's been a while since I've done a #DailyDoseOfDJ because I've been too busy posting film photos from my Slovenian mini-road-trip.

But being home with Deej is just as magical, and it's important that everyone sees this lovely little face.

DJ the black cat, flopping on his side in the sun with his paws in the air.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

When he wants to hang out with me but it's too hot to cuddle, he'll flop at my feet and expect me to sit on the floor next to him (which, obviously, I do).

DJ the black cat, flopped onto his back on a grey cushion with his paws in the air.

It's Deej's 5th birthday today! 🥳

He'll undoubtedly be celebrating in style by performing some of his signature flops, purrs and kneads.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, lying on some soft blankets and cuddling up to me on a bed. He's staring at the camera with huge wide eyes, and his paws are mid air-knead.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

His most convincing "please don't get up for work 🥺" face.

Sleepy Saturday (or rather, #Caturday?)

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, flopping on his back with his paws in the air, and looking at me with what can only be described as "Puss in Boots in Shrek 2" eyes.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

POV: you're trying to leave the house but Deej has other ideas (the ideas are cuddles).

warm weather = FlopCat

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, lying on a red blanket on my lap and facing the camera, stretching his paw out.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Sometimes when he's having a sleepy cuddle on my lap, he'll stretch his paw out as if to hold me in place.

This obviously works because I then feel far too guilty to even think of getting up.

DJ the black cat, sitting on a grey cushion on a leather sofa and looking up with a slight squint.

Our cat-sitter kindly gifted us a catnip plant. This is the moment he started sniffing the air in realisation, seconds before going completely nuts.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, flopping on his back in the sun with his paws stretched out. His fur looks more brown than black in the sunlight.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Only appropriate response to this weather: Flop.

A little breakfast croissant to start the weekend. 🥐

DJ the black cat, standing up from a chair and resting his paws on me.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Literal 🥺 face (he spotted me decorating with needle felted animals and wished to obtain them for destructive purposes)

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, cuddling on a bed and stretching his paw out, claws outstretched, over his owner's leg in an attempt to stop her from getting up.

Bringing back the #DailyDoseOfDJ

The face of a man who refuses to accept "I have to get up for work" as a reason to cut short morning cuddles.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, cuddled up on a black patterned duvet (and on my chest).

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Trying his absolute hardest to stop me from getting up for work this morning.

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, flopped onto his back with his paws curled in the air. He's on a soft Little Mermaid blanket, and looking up at the camera pleadingly (he wants cuddles).

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Never has there ever been a cuter way to start a Monday morning.

A dramatic little pose

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, sitting on a bed frame and looking up at a closed door with a concerned expression (he can hear some loud noises outside).

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

I'm thrilled that we're having some work done in the house.

DJ is less thrilled. Many, many cuddles are needed to combat the spooky sounds.

Sniffing the delicious Easter dinner from one of his favourite sunny spots.

DJ the black cat sitting upright on a dining room chair and looking up at the camera.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

He's been joining me at the dining room table for lunch, like he's a little human with an understanding of meal etiquette (and not a little cat with a misguided assumption that if he stares at me, I'll give him my soup).

#Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals

DJ the black cat, flopped onto his back, on my feet.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ

Flopping continues. Not because of the sun this time, but because... I had the audacity to join a Teams call instead of giving him my undivided attention.
