Afternoon cuddles for Prince. He’s so happy he drooled on me. Silly boi. #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

Leo hanging out on the back of my chair.

Prince under my desk staring at the wall.

Leo is an UP cat with many brain cells. Prince is an orange boi in a brown body. #LeoCatstoy #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

Who? Me???

#PrinceCharmingTheCat pretending it wasn’t him trying to get to the crackers. #Cats #WhiskerWednesday

Prince climbing over my monitor stand/desk organizer in the gap between the monitor and my huge pink water tumbler.

Prince wondering why I’m taking pics instead of giving him cuddles

Close up of his handsome face. He’s a brown tabby with maybe two brain cells and zero regrets.

The left side of Prince’s face. He’s got one whisker that always curls backwards. It’s currently growing back in. Then he’s also got one random whisker that’s way back on his face (basically his neck).

That moment when you shove the keyboard out of the way before he writes and sends an email you’ll regret…

#Jazzabelle slept through the entire thing. #PrinceCharmingTheCat was curious. Zulu now looks ridiculous (couldn’t get a pic of her…she’s too fast when escaping), & #LeoCatstoy demanded his turn with the slicker brush after she was gone. I’m sure Zulu will forgive me by bedtime cuddle time. #Cats 🐈

Brown tabby on the little bookshelf under my desk. He’s about to put his paw on my leg.

Foot is on my leg and I’ve got 2 seconds to pet him in the head if I don’t want him on my desk at the moment. I do not.

#PrinceCharmingTheCat is jumping impaired. Just doesn’t get that he has that skill. This is his primary way of telling me he wants up on my desk for cuddles. If I make room for him, he climbs from me to the desk. If I put my hand on his head and pet him there, he’ll back up and fuck off. #Cats

The bench at the foot of my bed has been covered with a peach towel. Hand knit socks are laying flat And Prince, our brown tabby, is sleeping on some of them.

Sock rinse day was two days ago. They’re all pretty much dry at this point so they’re out from between layers of towels and all exposed to the air. but Prince takes his drying duties seriously and he can never be too sure. #PrinceCharmingTheCat #HandKnit #Socks #Knitting 🧦🧶

The floor next to Jake’s desk. Prince’s favorite thing on earth, “Tiger Tail” is in the upper left. He carries it to wherever Jake is multiple times a day. This weekend he discovered he could remove toys from the basket we store them in. Bottom right of the image are a croissant and badge shaped toys that were previously in the basket.

From Jake:

Well fuck prince has figured out that he can grab new toys from the basket to bring to me

So he can bring and squeak as many times as he wants

🤣🤣🤣

I guess Prince isn’t as dumb as I thought.

#PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

View of the right side of my bed from the bench at the foot of it. Prince, our brown tabby, is on a super soft folded throw on the bench. He’s picked his head up to ask me why I’m taking his pic. Behind him, in a grey cat bed, is Jazz, our tortie, all curled and attempting sleep. She’ll be happier once I go to bed. And behind Jazz, in a matching grey pet bed, and where I can constantly pet her, is Zulu, our giant orange floofy girl, waiting for me to come to bed. I managed to capture Zulu’s spa (cool mist humidifier) that I need but she thinks is strictly for her. Jake refills it “for her” every night. She’ll start yelling if he waits to long to do this. But when he turns it back on she sits facing it with her head tipped up, eyes closed, and smiles.

Time for bed and only Leo is unaccounted for… everyone else is cozy and warm in their favorite spot. #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Jazzabelle #QueenZulu #Cats

Jazz is on top of the tree, Prince is below her. He tried to put his foot in the box she’s on top of to shorten the distance to my desk and the instant he did so she swung.

Prince just wanted to get to my desk…violence ensued because Tortie.

Meanwhile, his latest bow tie has turkeys on it. #Cats #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Jazzabelle

Here’s #PrinceCharmingTheCat showing how needy he can be when I’m working and #LeoCatstoy showing off his flashy bits. We call him Mr. Fancy Feets. Note his little chinstrap that keeps the tabby suit on.

Kitty cuddle time with #PrinceCharmingTheCat

For spooky season #PrinceCharmingTheCat changed bow ties. #Cats This one is purple with orange Jack-O’Lanterns, yellow stars, and a flying bat charm.

It’s a good thing he’s so damn cute cause he’s been a massive jerk to his siblings lately.

Miscellaneous yarn and finished items in cotton baskets.

Brown tabby sitting on a cream colored towel beside cubbies full of brightly colored yarn.

Amazingly, this miscreant noticed the iPad and not the green knitting that’s in front of him. Two seconds later he pulled down 4 skeins and then fled.

Moved all the stuff that was on the towel in front of the yarn cubbies into a basket so #PrinceCharmingTheCat had a place to lie down other than on my keyboard, mouse, or hands. Bratty boi pulled yarn down and then left. Sigh. #Cats

Brown Tabby making a very happy face while resting his front half on my lap and getting head scritches. I’m wearing all red and the light blue/aqua seed stitch blanket is on the right side of my lap. In the background is Leo on the desk to the left and a rocking chair with blue patterned cushions.

Prince (brown tabby with white whiskers) on my desk making the same happy face while getting head pets.

Happy kitties now that we’re home again. This is #PrinceCharmingTheCat last night when I was knitting in the hobbit hole and again this morning on my desk. #Cats

First time I noticed he was in the box was when he stretched and almost fell out. He’s hanging on with two claws here. Brown tabby sleeping in a box attached to their cat tree. He’s a chonky boi. The box is not quite his size.

He turned around to a safer position. His backside is just to the side of the opening so he won’t spill out.

Turned around again but keeping his arse squarely in the box but his tail is partially hanging out.

My entertainment today is Prince’s various sleeping positions in the box on the cat tree. #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

Brown basket full of sheets sitting in front of a bookcase of knitting books and yarn, and next to a spinning wheel. On top of the sheets is a brown tabby caught mid yawn.

Sigh. That basket holds freshly laundered sheets. Or, at least they were… #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

Got a new piece of cat furniture. #PrinceCharmingTheCat approves. #Cats

Brown tabby wearing a red, white, and no blue bow tie with a star design

Prince glaring at the camera

Chunkosaurus has been taking his summer bow tie off lately so now he’s ready for Labor Day. #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

Brown tabby sleeping in a cat tree box. One front paw and one ear are protruding.

He has turned so that all limbs and ears are inside the box but now his side is bulging out. One of his nicknames is Chungus for reasons.

#PrinceCharmingTheCat ‘s latest favorite napping spot is not quite as lorge as he. He’s both adorable and special. #Cats

Our forecast no longer calls for rain so we opened the windows. Leo got to enjoy it by himself for maybe a minute before Prince joined him. 30 seconds later, violence ensued. #LeoCatstoy #PrinceCharmingTheCat #TheTabbyBros #Cats

Brown tabby with his upper body resting on a rope basket. In the basket are two project bags. One is a blue, pink, and purple tropical print and the other is dark blue. He’s doing a blep.

Same pic as before but he pulled his tongue back in and is trying to act innocent.

Caught in the act of pulling out the black drawstring cord that is attached to the blue bag. It’s already been slightly mangled by his previous shenanigans.

Problem solved. The cord side of the bag is now down under the bag.

Caught #PrinceCharmingTheCat attempting to thieve…or so I thought. Turns out he just wanted to further shred the cord to the blue bag. Sigh. #Cats #Shenanigans

Brown tabby sitting on the floor next to my project bags. I’m in my desk chair to his right working at a computer. He’s looking up at me expectantly.

Apparently Prince wanted pets from me but hadn’t yet said anything to get my attention when Jake caught this image. #Cats #PrinceCharmingTheCat

I wouldn’t let him up on the desk cause I’m trying to get in a flow. Looked up between tasks and he’s fallen asleep on the random butt pillow on the floor. It’s no accident that he’s facing away from me. #DramaKing #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

More pics of Jazz. I got up to stretch and she gave my that tortie look. Then Prince wandered into the office. He’s the bully so she preemptively left the box in case she needed to defend herself. Also so she could properly glare at her brother. #Cats #Jazzabelle #PrinceCharmingTheCat

Left corner of my desk. Foreground is my coffee protein shake in a rusty orange colored shaker cup. Next to it is a protein bar and roll for later. My hot pink water cup is on the right. Behind the shaker is a box of Tiki Cat wet cat food (chicken, pumpkin, and duck) because the automatic feeder ran out of dry food this morning and I can’t pick up the bag to refill it. So they got just wet this morning. Prince (our brown tabby Chunkosaurus) is licking the food pouches because of course he is. He won’t eat the wet food, but the packaging, you betcha.

Today’s #DeskSelfie is SO much less serene and more typical of the chaos around here… #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats

Today is Prince’s annual checkup. He is a very whiny boi. Jake says there’s now a tiny orange kitten also in the waiting room and when Prince cries, the kitten answers. #Cats #PrinceCharmingTheCat

I have to clear my desk off at lunch so this chungus can take over my space. #PrinceCharmingTheCat I forgot to post a pic of his latest bow tie. He’s all decked out in his red, white, and blue for 4th of July and Labor Day. #Cats

View from my desk. The rain was torrential last night. I had to softly call Prince’s name to get him to turn to look at me (he’s starting to doze off, soft enough for him to hear but not loud enough to make him get up to come to me. A tricky thing. #Cats #PrinceCharmingTheCat

Brown tabby zipped into my hoodie with me. His butt is resting on my desk.

I thought he would leave. Turns out he’s okay with this. Hopefully he’ll take a nap. #PrinceCharmingTheCat #Cats
