A black and white tuxedo cat in the classic tripod grooming pose with his right paw in the air displaying his white sock, black pad, 3 pink & one black toe bean. He is industriously cleaning the corner of that leg, just behind where his front right paw is propping him up.

For #Caturday I present Ike in full grooming tripod pose, displaying his single black toe bean. All four pads are black; all of his toe beans are pink except for that one outside second right toe.
I find this utterly adorable.

My two, partaking.
Little 'nipheads.

Cats like boxes. Cats like catnip, at least my two do.
A Chewy order arrived today.
Not sure why it never occurred to me before.

A black & white tuxedo cat is crouched wide-eyed on rumpled green bedcovers. His very pink tongue is licking his equally pink nose, centered between his long, spiky white whiskers

Ike's ready for #tongueouttuesday

Large black & white tuxedo cat splorched his tummy on third tier of a cat tree, completely obscuring the shelf. Only the scratching post support is visible below him. His front legs, sporting long white gloves, are dangling to either side of the post. He is staring impassively at the camera. A toy ball hanging from the cat tree hovers over his back as if suspending his hindquarters in the air.

Oops. Too much commenting, not enough reading.
Time for a cat picture.
For #throwbackthursday I give you #ikekitty in 2022 ridiculously splorched out on a cat tree, stretching out his legs while wearing his best "I don't see what is so amusing" expression.

Ike, a black & white tuxedo cat is sprawled on his back, sound asleep on a fuzzy navy blue blanket tossed on a light green ticket bedspread. His left front paw is resting on the side of MiuMiu, a solid black cat curled up next to him at the edge of the blanket, on the viewer's right. Ike's head is turned to face her. Her left front paw is resting on the bed a little way in front of Ike's nose. They both look thoroughly zonked out.

What the world needs now is more cat pictures.
My tuxie guy, Ike, and my void lady, MiuMiu, here doing what cats do best, i.e. sleeping soundly in one of the Best Snoozing Spots.
They're not always OK about sharing so they really were tired.

A Black & White tuxedo cat sprawled on his back on the seat of a turquoise patio chair. His head is curled over the edge of the seat, displaying the large, asymmetrical black splotch on his chin, his back legs are resting against the chair back at a wide angle. He is clearly not a small cat.

Time for something light.
Mr. Ike in his majestic dignity.

Black chinned, black & white tuxedo shorthair cat sitting on the end of the bed, licking his chops with a very pink tongue.

This guy is letting me know he's hungry and that his gooshyfood is late.
Pitiful meows.
Soft head butts.
Nibbles on my arm...
...I don't like where this is going, cat.
#cats, #catsofbluesky, #ikekitty

Full face head shot of black & white tuxedo cat staring plaintively at the camera with wide, dilated eyes. He has a black chin and a black spot under his left nostril. His white whiskers are long and straight.

It's supper time. He is reminding me.
He is now lying next to me.
Gently licking my arm.
I think he's trying to let me know that there are other food sources around here if kibble isn't forthcoming.

Three-quarter profile of black and white tuxedo shorthair cat's face. One eye is barely cracked open as he stares groggily at the camera. His long white whiskers are visible against his shadow on the wall with the tips showing against his black shoulder.

Is it still morning?
#WhiskersWednesday #ikekitty #cats

Black & white tuxedo shorthair cat sleeping sprawled on his back on the corner of a bed with a white pinstriped blue coverlet. He looks very comfortable.

My electric blanket makes my bed a really popular hangout.
#cats #ikekitty

"Kibble? Kibble! Hungry. So hungry."
It's not hard to read Ike's body language.
#cats #CatsofBluesky #ikekitty

MiuMiu ran away from an offered Churu! Not like her. I coaxed her to accept one, at arms length, a few minutes later.
Ike accepted it squeezed onto a plate. I got suspicious looks while he was busy inhaling it.
Neither want to get within grabbing distance of me. Heh.

A black shorthair cat and a black & white tuxedo shorthair cat curled up asleep on a bed, their paws extended and intertwined.

The calm before the storm.
Me. I was the storm.
As in, they finally got their badly overdue Bravecto 2 mo. topical anti-flea/heartworm treatment.
They HATE it.
I'm not really fond of it either (see: overdue) and I get to wear gloves and am not rolled up in a towel. 🧵
#cats #ikekitty #miumiukitty

Black & white tuxedo shorthair cat crouched in a sphinx position, gazing away from the camera towards the right side of the frame. His brain is very likely in Park, knowing this cat. "Disengage, holding..."

Both cats have ample kibble in their bowls & water in the dishes. Ah, but there is as of yet no Gooshyfood! Tragedy!
Sadly there is no video of their arias as they are camera shy when singing. Just a photo of one of my little stalkers. Waiting...

Face and chest of black & white tuxedo shorthair cat. He is gazing out of the camera with a faintly reproachful expression.

Ike is now awake. Ike is now hungry.
Ike is now walking across me.
Ike is frickin' heavy.

(It's not just the pounds, it's the pounds per square inch. He puts a sizeable bunch of his 17.2 lbs on 1 sq. in. of paw, oh boy do you feel it!)
#cats #CatsofBlueSky #ikekitty

My Ike kitty gradually waking up and becoming aware belly pets are happening. Here is the roll over and offended look maneuver that ensues when extended belly petting occurs. #cats #CatsofBlueSky #ikekitty

Kitty zen. Tummy pets.

Note: the reason he is enjoying this is he is sound asleep. Completely zonked. Tummy is off-limits when awake. He's not dangerous, he simply doesn't allow access to it. When a 17 lb cat sits, he SITS. 😄
#cats #CatsofBlueSky #ikekitty 🧵

A shorthair cat's rear paw. The fur is white, the pad is black, three of the four toe beans are pink. The next-to-leftmost one is black, like the pad.

Face of a black & white tuxedo shorthair cat. A narrow, slightly off-center-to-viewer's-left stripe of white between his eyes widens out to encompass the entire whisker areas beside his pink nose. His chin is black and there is a small irregular black spot emerging from his right nostril (on viewer's left). His whiskers and eyebrows are white, as is his chest. He has a faintly anxious look on his face. (This is normal for Ike.)

It's been a depressing week so a bonus #Caturday feature of toe beans! My tuxie boy, Ike, has black pads and pink toe beans everywhere except for his right rear paw, which has a single black toe bean among the pink ones. I find it adorable, along with his little black nose booger.

Black shorthair cat with gold eyes & huge pupils crouched on platform of cat tree looking slightly down & to right out of camera frame. Her lids are drooping slightly, giving her a contemplative look.

Black & white shorthair tuxedo cat crouched facing the camera, looking slightly down & to the right out of it. The pupils of his gold eyes are huge and his gaze is intent although his pose is relaxed.

MiuMiu and Ike are on the alert tonight, mostly because they are 'nipped out of their kitty minds on the finest Meowijuana "Purple Passion" catnip & silvervine blend. Somebody ought to be enjoying themselves!

Two shorthair cats sitting on a bed with a white striped blue coverlet. The cat on the right, a solid black, is facing away from the camera, staring towards the auto litterbox on the off-white rear wall. The cat on the left, a black & white tuxedo is facing the right side wall with his head turned towards the camera with a mournful expression on his face.

Ike is sadly disappointed by my failure to produce gooshyfood on time. Very, very disappointed in me.
MiuMiu is thoroughly put out about my poor showing and refuses to have anything to do with me until I've rectified this disgraceful situation.

A black & white tuxedo shorthair cat sleeping on his back, coiled up in a circle with his right paw over his eyes. His pink nose is just visible below his paws; his fluffy white lower belly is prominently displayed.

Ike is too exhausted to participate in #tuxietuesday

Shorthair B&W tuxedo cat crouched on a bed corner gazing intently leftward at a thick white cord by his right paw.

Shorthair B&W tuxedo cat crouched on a bed corner looking intently down at a thick white cord pinned under his front paws.

The cats are wild this evening. Seriously under-pounced. For #Caturday a couple of pics of Ike hunting an old bungee cord.
There's no point in buying fancy toys for my felines. Their favorite playthings are string/ribbons (Ike) and string/ribbons and hair ties (MiuMiu). They are so basic.
#ikekitty

Extremely close up view of B&W tuxedo shorthair cat's face, pink nose prominently centered in the picture. The round black "beauty mark" below the left nostril and his black chin splotch are very evident. He looks very anxious.

Ike is hungry. very, very hungry. He wants kibble. Which is why I'm getting his nose firmly bonking my shoulder.
#cats #ikekitty

Face of B&W tuxedo shorthair cat staring intently out of the camera frame. His golden eyes are wide and dilated, his pointed ears up & forward, light rose inside beneath black hairs. He has a narrow, off-center white blaze between his eyes widening over his pink nose to blend into his white bib, a small black spot on the right side of his nose and a large black splotch covering his chin. He has long, straight white whiskers and eyebrows.

A hungry cat is a photogenic cat. Apparently.
Ike re-e-e-eally wants his kibbles.

More attempts at Cat Telepathy. "It's past Kibble Time. Seriously past. My dish is empty. Fix this."

Drat, I can't wait till they add editing. I meant to also tag my previous post #Ikekitty. Eh, close enough.
