Blurry photo of a black cat sitting on a ghostly half-finished golem against a gray background.
Sitting out here on the screened porch with Mr. Albrecht, in the dark, and appreciating black coffee and my ability to tolerate chronic sleep deprivation.

Beautiful, sleek, callipygous black cat (Albrecht!) curled up on the ugliest crocheted throw you ever did see. He's covering his face with a paw, as if to ward off the impending dawn.
Mr. Albrecht feels just about exactly the same way about today as I.

View of not-quite-half of my face and left shoulder, with Mr. Albrecht (black, sleek, cat) resting his head on said shoulder and letting one leg hang down and give me a gentle hug.
Mr. Albrecht is the more aloof, standoffish one.
Except when he's not.

Picture focused on one rear foot of a gray cat that's protruding from a basket-style cat bed at the top of a cat tree. The cat's face is blurrily visible in the background. The cat is Otto.
Adorable black cat's face, most of the rest of him being obscured by the basket-style cat bed he's sitting in. He's Albrecht.

Get. Into. It.

Mr. Albrecht (sleek, black, pyriform, cat), enjoying a morning cuddle on my chest. He's looking at me as if to say, "Why haven't you given me extra treatsies, Mister?"
Oh hell yes.

Mr. Otto, who is gray and fluffy and a cat, curled on my lap under the big dinner table.
Mr. Albrecht, who is black and a cat, using my thigh almost as a counter. He has wares if you have cash.
Today's the day!

There are two cats: one gray, in the front, and one black, behind. They are arranged in a single cat bed (which sits at the top of a cat tower), viewed from the side. Gray cat, Otto, is visible as an adorable face and a paw emerging over the rim of the bed. Black cat, Albrecht, is behind Otto. The top of his head and one eye are visible; one paw emerges from behind Otto. Much of the rest of him appears as a mysterious black presence behind and above Otto, because Albrecht is arranged on the rim of the cat bed. They are in love. I know this to be true.
I'm in a generous mood, so you're getting a pair of big 'ole softies for #SCS.

Mr. Albrecht (black, rrrrrounded, cat - soulful yellow eyes), looking up at the camera. The floor is covered in fiberboard to protect against the jackbooted thugs* from the renovators, marching up and down the stairs all day. *they are actually very nice and doing a lovely job, I just hate construction.
Mr. Otto, curled against my chest. His eyes are half-closed and his paws are folded in front of him. He knows he's beautiful. (Mr. Otto is more fur than cat, but he's gray and beautiful and that's what counts.)
Missing U.

Mr. Albrecht, ensnoozed on a multicolored crocheted blanket.
Mr. Albrecht, despite being a sleek black cat, is less than excited about today being "his special day."

Mr. Otto, nestled on my chest and using one paw as a pillow / face cover. (gray cat! long fur! breed: ???)
Mr. Albrecht sitting next to my leg, resting his front paws on my thigh and looking directly at the camera. (black cat! short hair! mutt/rescue!)
Cannot.
CANNOT.
Get home to these little buggers soon enough.

Mr. Otto, gracing my lap during dinner. He's curled up with his face buried in my knee. One paw rests on the gingham napkin that is now useful mostly as a source of gray fur, not so much so for wiping one's face.
Mr. Albrecht, looking straight into the camera and saying ... well, nothing, he's a cat. He's got his two front paws on an anonymous, jeans-clad thigh. The rest of him his hidden behind the thigh.
It was a two-cat evening.

Les Boys, sharing a snuggletime. Mr. Albrecht (left), black and sitting on a crocheted.... thing? Mr. Otto (right), gray and sitting not on the crochete.... thing.
In the winter, we snuggle.
When we're Les Boys, we snuggle on the shelf over a radiator.

I'm just a total slut.
(for laptime with Les Boys.)

Mr. Otto (gray fur, gray nose, silver edging on his paw, yes that's right, he's a cat), snuggled up on my chest with his head cocked to the side and front right paw folded under his right cheek. His eye is in the, "I'm not asleep yet, but I will be soon, just keep making with the pets" position. A mysterious and misshapen set of knuckles (they belong to me) is just visible: I'm petting him.
Mr. Albrecht, who is quite black and furry and is also a cat, viewed straight on while staring at the camera. Slightly blurry because this phone, for all the AI stuffed into it, has not learned that I am trying to take cat photos over here.
Les Boys, I'm a-comin' home: just a matter of hours now, my dears!

Mr. Otto having a shoulder ride and giving the camera one of his better, "No photos" looks.
Mr. Albrecht, snoozing on a multicolored (70s-tastic) crocheted blanket.
Les Boys are about as excited as I to be ringing in the morning today.

Just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just one more flight, just …

Mr. Albrecht, luxuriating on the floor (it's papered over b/c home construction).
Mr. Otto, mugging for the camera. I recognize the look: he is fixing to tear off into the other room at a speed only playful cats and influencers seeking a buck can achieve unaided.
I am happy to report that, if the "proof of life" photos our minder for Les Boys sent for today are accurate, Les Boys are in a fine fettle.
#Albrechttimes #Ottotimes #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #Skycats #Cats #blackcats #voidkitties
Mr. Otto, being cute.
Mr. Albrecht, also being cute.
Such a balm and a comfort to know that Les Boys are in good hands, and doing well.

Mr. Otto, taking advantage of my lap as I eat dinner.
Mr. Albrecht is just so beautiful.
Les boys, evening.

The camera can't focus on Mr. Albrecht because it's distracted by his cuteness.

Les Boys: Otto looks down in judgment, paw held at the ready for which to smiteth thee. Albrecht, behind him and bathed in shadow, looks on in horror.
You know what you did to deserve Otto's judgment.
(but i don't.)

Mr. Albrecht, sitting in his cat bed and generally being adorable.
Mr. Otto in his favorite cat bed, curled up into a snoozeball.
Les Boys' silence about their special Thanksgiving treat (extra lickable) is speaking volumes.
Or are they maybe just cats who can't magically speak?
#Albrechttimes #Ottotimes #Catsofbluesky #Catsky #Skycats #Cats #Voidkitties #Blackcats
Otto on my shoulders .
Albrecht on my shoulders. And on my head.
I'm thankful for many big things in my life, and also many small things.
I'm particularly thankful for these two little things, who have big personalities.

Mr. Albrecht, taking a moment out of his snoozytimes to say 'hi' and remind you that now is as good a time as any to give your cat some treatsies.
"Henlo."

Albrecht (left, black) and Otto (right, gray) sharing a tender 40 minutes, napping together in one of the cat trees.
I feel so accomplished as a cat dad: I have imparted upon my two sons the importance of snuggletimes and joint napping.

There are two cats in this house, and both cats' purrboxes have a "very loud" setting.

Mr. Albrecht, preparing for laptime but also distracted by the scents and sounds carried on morning breeze.
Mr. Albrecht is settling in; the morning birds (not pictured) are not.
Mr. Albrecht, on a pair of knobbly knees.
Sitting out here with Mr. Albrecht and I'm not sure which of us is enjoying it more: I, for the breeze, or he, for the scents and sounds it's bringing to him.

Mr. Albrecht, sitting upon the throne of his power, AKA the club chair that's secretly a recliner. (he's black, and a cat.)
Mr. Albrecht is, indeed, the boss of you.

Mr. Albrecht enjoying the gentle morning breeze and morning laptime.
Sitting out here in the dark with Mr. Albrecht, because it's just barely warm enough to be outside while caffeinating. And I know that's not going to last much longer.
