Oct 5 was the start of Banned Books Week #resist

💙📚 4/5 ⭐️ I’m new to Binchy and enjoyed this. Very character-driven, light on plot. Charming and gentle. www.blueskryb.cloud/book/link/97...

@quindimarlena.bsky.social Marlena, did you do this??? 😆

💙📚 5/5 ⭐️ I hadn’t read anything by Strathern before and I’m glad I found him! This was a great book and I plan to read more of his work. www.blueskryb.cloud/book/link/97...

Widget doesn’t object to anyone admiring his ear tuft, if you are so inclined

A #WhiskersWednesday question for y’all: Piper and Widget have whisker-like hairs on the backsides of their front legs. I’ve never noticed this in any of my prior cats. It’s hard to photograph, but here is an attempt. Do your kitties have this?

If only at least one of his enemies had responded with a poem of their own. We could have had a Renaissance version of the Drake/Lemar feud.

This makes me laugh. Do you think he sent them? Or kept them for his own amusement?

@dkjones32.bsky.social Hi! Are you ok? You haven’t posted in a while… What have you been reading?

@auggiethebeck.bsky.social Auggie, I think you may have missed this, so just bringing it to your attention 😘

Did the triple date happen and I missed it? Or is it tomorrow? @flashtastic.bsky.social @all-the-cats.bsky.social @shohanabee76.bsky.social @attyepi.bsky.social

💙📚 4.5/5 ⭐️ Fast, easy (especially after _Martyr!_), and so very enjoyable. Recommend for people who enjoy books about books and reading. The subtle interconnectedness between chapters is like an Easter egg hunt. www.blueskryb.cloud/book/link/97...

@toesknows.bsky.social Toes! We have an urgent styling request for your fashion howz! Please style Auggie @auggiethebeck.bsky.social in full Scottish regalia, kilt included.

@itsflanoy.bsky.social @carmeldb.bsky.social Flanoy! Carmel! Thunder and lightning here! How ‘bout where you are? (For Midwest folks who don’t understand my excitement, Donner and Blitzen in our part of CA is about as common as earthquakes in Pennsylvania)

💙📚 I had a literature professor make the illogical but accurate statement, “You can’t read _Wuthering Heights_ for the first time. It is a book that must be read-read.” I often am reminded of it when I come across books I struggle to understand…🧵

So, @kaylajbryant.bsky.social has brought to my attention that “The Rapture” is not actually orthodoxy in most major Christian denominations. Fascinating! Despite that, if it were to happen, and if only the truly GOOD were taken…

@governor.ca.gov This constituent, along with Piper and Widget, urge you to sign AB 867 legiscan.com/CA/text/AB86... Thank you for your attention to this matter 😼

@film-authority.bsky.social Eddie, will you be reviewing this movie on Tuesday? If you’re still around with the rest of us heathens, that is 😈 www.imdb.com/title/tt0190...

Added noodles. SLURP!

I was thinking to myself this morning how funny it would be if someone claiming to be the real Eddie Harrison popped up and was like “my identity was stolen! By some guy online! Who…pretended to antagonize cat accounts on Bluesky! And, um, posted film reviews. And photos of his cats…”

Woot woot! My favorite show is on!!!!

Exhibit C:proof of insufficient playtimes Thanks to Carole Czoernie @czoernie.bsky.social for help getting this posted! 😻

The totally legit Exhibit D will be submitted later tonight: the stealing of claws. It’s time; Widget just got stuck on the Ripple Rug 😆

For some reason, the Court of Bluesky is not allowing the submission of Exhibit C: evidence of insufficient play in video format Is there a trick to posting videos that I don’t know?

Evidence submitted by the prosecution: Exhibit B We were fed at noon and will not be fed again until 3pm

Piper and Widget charge me with criminal neglect Evidence submitted by the prosecution: Exhibit A A complete dearth of toys

This week: *Tuesday Tacos 🌮 * Wednesday issue of The Hairball 📰 * Friday episode of atcmewtwork interview 📺 <contented sigh> All is well with the #CatsOfBluesky

Kea and Cherry are back with the latest edition of The Hairball! How do they manage? They keep up with everything while on vacation better than those of us reading all day every day! A custom weekly Pulitzer for you, I say! Tomcat Brokaw agrees. 😘

#plundercats Widget: you guys! I flew to Scotland and stole all the lasagna I could find! Piper: I think you misunderstood the assignment, Widge…

I was trying to explain this to my husband and I saw the same look in his eyes as I know I had when my nephew tried to explain Skibity Toilet to me a few years ago 🤣

This is awesome! All of you who are newly able to edit photos, please post a fun picture and tag me. It will totally make my day 🥰 I heard a rumor #plundercats might “shop” for pastries this weekend. Now you’re ready to join the fun!

Welcome to Dagmar's photo editing tutorial for Luddites (iOS)! In this 🧵, I will share my extremely remedial techniques for putting hats on cats and putting cats in backgrounds. Folks with more tech savvy are welcome to chime in with corrections, tips, and pointers. Let's get to it!

I can’t find Piper where oh where can she be??? 🤔
