Priscilla reclining on a red pillow with the air of a tenured professor. She is staring at the camera with a look that says, "I am comfortable, so why have the typing noises stopped?"

her signature "I saw that typo" glare. Her copper eyes are wide with judgment, silently asking if I really intend to submit the draft looking like that.

The thesis team is down a crucial member today. My strictest supervisor retired to kitty heaven yesterday. 🌈 Years of true British Blue judgment and side-eye - the office is feeling very empty without her presence on the home stretch of editing #CatsOfAcademia #RainbowBridge

Not my cat but very much my cat’s vibe. #CatsOfAcademia

Trying to catch up on some missed work on the weekend. Phoebe is not helping. #CatsOfAcademia #AustralianMist

Calico cat sits on top of a textbook in my lap. She's looking straight at the camera, eyes wide, and ears slightly angled.

Lakshmi has some thoughts about synapse structure and function...

Calico cat sits curled up on a couch next to me, a tan woman with brown hair and glasses. I'm grinning and she is looking calmly at the camera with all four white paws reaching towards the bottom left corner together.

I have some help with interview prep today!

Kurze Pause im Homeoffice mit meinem wichtigsten Mitarbeiter. #CatsofAcademia

Working from home, reviewing papers (before I travel later this month) & getting ready to chair a Viva this arvo 👉my coworkers are trying to distract me #CatsOfAcademia #AustralianMist

Trying to squeeze in some work at home. This one is blocking my keyboard. Time to stop #catsofacademia

Yesterday we had a VIP guest in the office. Respect for her presence must be paid with head scratches. #CatsofAcademia

Just found #CatsofAcademia and now must, naturally, introduce Poe- my office manager. She is particularly concerned with staff wellbeing. She will stop my screen use by walking in front of my screen every hour and onto my keyboard if I haven't stood up and walked around in a while. 10/10 recommend.

Mostly black calico cat and orange and white tabby cat curled up together with their eyes closed, butts squished together, arms intertwined, and noses close but not quite touching. A fuzzy blue blanket is underneath them.

It's a cold & rainy day here in Atlanta, which is a nice change from the recent heat wave. But I'm struggling not to melt into this cuddle puddle next to me & nap, rather than plugging along on my appointed writing tasks for the day (grant, paper, job app). #CatsOfBsky #CatsOfAcademia #Writing

Fantastic talk from @kelvintuong.bsky.social at IMB #UQ this morning. Importantly …another scientist who uses #cats in their talk. #CatsOfAcademia #IMB-alumni

It’s winter in #Australia so lots of #cat cuddling in my home office - kept me company writing my #ARC DP26 grant rejoinders #CatsOfAcademia #bonded #STEM

Coffee & cats.
Great way to spend time in the home office on a cold Australian winter #CatsOfAcademia #heatedBlanket

#Teddy helping me prep for @srsrensoc.bsky.social paper. #catsofacademia He's relaxed because the talk is now finished.

Orange and white cat, curled up with her back legs extended out, and her front paw covering her eyes.

Uh oh... I'm not sure she approves of my answers... #CatsOfBsky #CatsOfAcademia

White and orange tabby cat lies in a loaf shape, with her cheek resting on the edge of a laptop, screen open with notes in the background.

Someone's "helping" me prepare for tomorrow's interview. #CatsOfBsky #CatsOfAcademia

A woman smiles in front of a grey cat on the pillow behind her

Finally warm enough to work on the porch with my favorite assistant 🐈‍⬛ #catsofacademia #academicats

My cat is channelling today’s vibe #CatsOfAcademia

Today’s research agenda: Trying to set aside the day for reading while my cats are hell-bent on eating my books. #AcademicSky #CatsofAcademia

Oh to be as relaxed as this cat 😂 #CatsOfAcademia

This is how your email finds me #catsOfAcademia #AustralianMist

SISTERS AND THE ENGLISH HOUSEHOLD Domesticity and Women's Autonomy in Nineteenth-Century English Literature Anne D. Wallace

Reading for my PhD thesis??? Couldn’t be me.
This was a great little read on the role of sisters (especially older, unmarried ones) in the English family.

Orange and white cat peers down intently from the top of a tall wooden bookshelf.

Circe was overseeing my work today. Abstract submitted and paper edits completed. Happy Friday!

@jennymartin-ccc.bsky.social cats as a profile banner ?!?? Amazing #CatsOfAcademia

Front cover of the book Orientalist Depictions of Arab Sexuality by author and academic Feras Alkabani . The cover is dark blue and white with an image of a young man in a cloth headdress with a flower tucked into the forehead band.

A photo of the acknowledgement page from the book, featuring a black and white photo of the author with his cat called Mishmish.

Regardless of all my years of academic training, what actually alerts me to the fact that I'm about to enter a great text? When the author acknowledges their cat with 2 paras & a full-page photo. That's love. And authenticity!

Can't wait to read this by

Today's study buddy is Birdie. Very regal, but don't be fooled. this cat is 100% purr chaos.
