Pooka begging earlier for attention on top of animal bone boxes. But he got loads and so much he became over stimulated and Bitey face came out to play. So I gave in again and in 10 seconds, bitey face. Wants all the loving but he can’t handle it but wants it anyways 🤣 #cats #kitten #SiberianCat

Dogs at the Rescue Center get to pick their own toy 🧸

Scientific American is being sold to LabX Media, publisher of Discover: group.springernature.com/gp/group/med... They've fired me and other union staff, ahead of June 26 vote ratification. My rates are suddenly more reasonable, if you need editing or reporting - [email protected]

The fun photo gig I had on Saturday last was with #CavanCountyMuseum celebrating their 30th anniversary with take over by Vikings, Soldiers & Michael Collins’ car out front. A brilliant day. Here’s link to the photos I took & more in their event album on Facebook. www.facebook.com/share/p/18ii...

Pooka living his best life this mild evening (on a leash) #cat #siberianforestcat #kitten

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

I’m going to be working on one of our excavated caves and their animal bones tonight … I’ll be posting some bone photos and generally chat if anyone about & has Qs. Share the journey of the box & keep me company! It’s a night owl session which my brain is craving for. Coffee will be had ☺️ 🦴🦴

Very worthy cause to donate any change you go. The puppies & dogs are paired with people with various special needs &are their lifeline. Dermot has two days left on his big walk across Iceland, munching on kilometres as he goes thru all weathers. He has 2 days left … go on, support him! #dogs

Holiday.

Lashing heavy rain and Prince and Pooka happy our watching from their sheltered spots in the catio. #cats #siberianforestcat

Prince last night at sunset out for a walk. It was so mild and beautiful colours. #cat #siberianforestcat

Wow, 20 years ago I published my first research paper. I’m not prolific in publishing papers as it takes time to build data and do analysis, writing etc, esp when not funded or not in full time academia. But accumulation of data will let me write a few papers from now going forward.

Beauty of a sunset this evening out back … #ThisIsCavan #Ireland

Am I the only person who can’t use one of these can openers to open a can ???? 😭 why is it so hard?! (What happen to the old can openers, simple, hold sideways, stick the pointy bit into the can, turn handle, works smooth and opens can lid?) #help

The pillow cuddles enforcer has disappeared into the house somewhere, sleeping. Until he comes to bother me with his meowing complaining … hopefully not for the next hour, 1am is bedtime…. Never ending zooarch assemblage.

He’s doing that face and unhappy nosies again … we are late for his pillow cuddles appojntment and beauty sleep 🙈🙈 #cat #siberiancat

Unwinding for the night before I go to bed at 10pm. I love this me time, listening to gentle music. It’s an overcast evening, a dwindling darkness starting already. A calm, a peace settles over me. I breathe. Try to keep in the present. In my own home, with 2 cats who fill holes in my heart.

Pooka says hello to everyone …. Look at his paws!!!! He has shovels for paws but the white toes are just too cute! #cat #siberiancat #kitten

It’s been a long day here & Pooka is out having a nap in the catio. I wish I was him 😅 #cat #siberiancat #kitten

1. I know I post mainly my cat and kitten photos and related content the past year or so, but I am working on threads of research involving zooarchaeology in Ireland. I’ve decided not to post as I used to, due to others grabbing ideas as their own or trying to rip the research from under my feet.

No wonder the entrenched bureaucracy hates him to much. He's showing America that things REALLY can get better when you work on behalf of everyone, not for the Epstein class.

I went to Cavan County Museum today to see the beautiful Virginia Brooch, back in its home county, on loan from @nmireland.bsky.social - an Early Medieval silver brooch with Scandinavian/Viking style detailed artwork. Bigger than I thought it would be (larger than Tara brooch). #IrishArchaeology

In first, California city overwhelmingly votes to permanently ban datacenters

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

*someone* is giving out to me as I’m beyond normal bedtime … lots of giving out in fact. He normally gets pillow cuddles and we both fall asleep to his purring. #cats #siberiancats

Delighted to be in an exceptionally cool edition of @archiremag.bsky.social ( lotta familiar names in this one!). The grrls and meself are telling a story of industry, poverty, change and footwear. Thank U Arch Ire and also Yvonne and Kate TVAS Ireland as the bestest writing team!.

It’s 23:10hrs on bank holiday Monday night… tomorrow back to work but after cleaning entire top half of the house today, two loads of laundry, mad bed clothes change with 2 cats playing in the duvet. I know I should just unwind but a thought flew into my brain - we could start work early …

Caught Pooka about to sneeze … the perfect moment … #cats #siberiancats #catsky

So Sad Chump,You're Going To Have To Pay Mamdani Your Taxes, Bitch,On Your Second Home.......👏🏻

Thank you Hillary Mueri! 4K in donations now cracked!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

So for #Caturday, Prince decided it was a brilliant idea to bring in a live shrew she caught in the catio into the house… and then let it loose in the kitchen/dining area. Pooka is trying to help, opposite ends to Prince. If she flushes it out, he will get it! #siberiancats Oh what fun, not.

He’s always looking up to his big sister 😻🐾 (from another mother 🤣) #cat #Siberian #catio

She did attack jump the fly, with all claws out. I yelped, she missed, but looked apologetic. Many fly in thru open windows. Few survive more than 24 hours. Eventually I don’t see any flying around. Prince gets them all, one by one, she silently hunts them down. Then devours them whole!

Irish people look like this 👇 after the past few days of warm sunshine and great weather! #IrishSummer

To get me out more and moving I’ve joined #PokemonGo - this summer I want to explore more places and am enjoying playing but I would like more friends to give gifts to and play challenges with. My trainer code is: 525123111622 Hopefully some of my followers are on Pokémon Go …. Thanks

Pooka brought a toy out to the catio to play with it …. And watching all the tractors go by with full and then empty trailers of grass. The first cut of silage has been done the past 2 days. Huge flurry of dawn to dusk activity. #cat #siberianforestcat #kitten

There may be a wee joint article in this, a strange little story, which reminds us about the lives of ordinary people and the shoes they wore.... Coming soon....

Pooka’s first birthday today but still a kitten … a big Siberian Forest kitten until 2 years of age, adult at 5 years of age. He’s such a gentle, happy adventurous fellow and very affectionate. Loving his catio days, especially now with better weather! 🐾🐱 🎈🎈🎂 #happybirthday #cat #kitten

Hmmmmm ….. Caught her in the act! #cat #siberianforestcat

Always being watched when I’m outside 😸 #kitten #cat

Interesting...well, let's see...oh, that's right because they CHEATED

Early start this morning as I get out for the day to visit a exciting and wonderful archaeology site, Viking Age period, here in Ireland. I’m the project zooarchaeologist & it’s going to be great to meet the amazing team on site & see what’s going on -Can’t wait! #Irisharchaeology #zooarchaeology

Prince &Pooka both got their yearly shots this morning. They don’t travel well (Prince puked), both were very dribbly. Poor things, she really hates the car, him bad. Very quiet on way home apart from odd moan from Prince. Both dopey after their shots. #cats 😿💉 Pooka ⬇️ before & after

The wee paper Different Strokes is here, and Open Access! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Prince looking interested at all her followers on #caturday #cats #catsky #siberianforestcat

Two sleepy cats… so many zoomies in the house and out in the catio during today and this evening. Both are wrecked tonight! #cats #kitten #siberianforestcat #catsofblusky #catsky
