Mr. Otto, charming, beautiful, sleeping, gray, cat, longhair, shortemper (not really).

Ottotimes! Ottotimes!

Mr. Otto, beautiful gray cat, most long of fur and regal of bearing. He is standing upon, and lording over, your humble servant. The sun has found his noble face, gracing it with silvery fire.

I hope you’re all striding (or riding) into the weekend with the spirit if #MrOtto, resplendent upon his vaguely-human-shaped throne.

Updates and developments: #MrOtto continues to be adorable in his adulthood, but super-weird. Which tells me he takes after his #BigGayDad.

Jump into your week like #MrOtto jumping for this little length of twine.

Mr. Albrecht, beautiful black cat, scrunching up his face in disgust. He was disgusted with me, as he's very much a "NO PHOTOS!" kind of cat.

Mr. Otto is a ridiculous floof of a gray cat (but he's pretty). Here, he's flopped on my lap, belly up receiving belly rubs. His front paws are almost comically raised and folded over, in complete submission to the pets. In the middle of the photo is a misshapen hand: kindly ignore, it belongs to me and is my secret shame (not-so-secret, it being my right hand).

#MrAlbrecht captures my feelings about having some nonsense call to handle; #MrOtto tries to cheer me up.

This is how #MrOtto feels about today's marching in the streets.

Mr. Otto: he is so adorable and sweet and (if I’m honest) kind of thick, but in the most lovable way. His oversized paws feature prominently in this photo. If you’re a frequent flyer on my profile, this should come as no surprise. If you’re new around here: Mr. Otto is a gray, VERRRRRY furry cat. He likes long walks on the beach, freeze-dried minnows and morning (and midday, and afternoon, and evening, and late night, and …) cuddle sessions.

I don’t hate working from the office, but I won’t lie about really wanting to be at home right now.

Gray cat, right front paw, fur. Lots of fur. So much fur. And kitten nose. And so much fur.

#Ottotimes: REMIX.

Mr. Otto's front left paw, claws digging gently into my neck. Because Mr. Otto wants morning pets and this is one of his favorite ways of requesting them. Mr. Otto is a floofy gray cat, he is a very cute cat.

Mr. Otto is receiving pets: he has laid down against my chest and is exhibiting his oversize front paws. Very floofy, very gray, very cat. The background is a shelf of books that are organized by publisher because they're French and French publishers have a weird fetish for making the spines of their books all look the same.

Close-in view of Mr. Otto's face (especially his NOSE! So cute!) settling in after getting his pets. It's almost monochromatic: Mr. Otto is gray, and he's snuggled against my chest, which is vested in a lighter gray sweatshirt.

Full view of Ottocat napping after his morning pets. This is a reminder, as much to myself as to anybody, that despite being A-DO-RABLE, Ottocat is not a small cat. He is a floof, a pouffe, a schnouffe of a cat, but he's not small. He is gray, though, and has bountiful long fur.

It's #Ottotimes, it's #MardiGras and it's the beginning of the rest of your life.

So enjoy it.

By "it," I mean the cat pics. Obviously.

Mr. Otto rearranged himself, and due to the resulting extreme excess of cute, it's time for an OTTOTIMES BONUS ROUND!

Beautiful gray cat luxuriating, as only a cat can.

Welcome to the weekend; things are pretty OK over here, actually.
