☮️ I woke up in the night when a fighter jet flew over. They were searching for a stray military drone. This is a reminder that our neighboring country is still continuing its war. Couldn’t it just stop already? #☮️ #pax #мир #peace #fred #frieden #paix #paz #pace #mir #miru #barış #pokój

🐾 There are two kinds of daffodils in the park: all-yellow ones and ones that are white but yellow in the middle. I can’t decide which are prettier. What do you think? #nero #daffodil #narcissus #narciso #flower #yellow #may

💖💕 Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries in May, often on the second Sunday of May, including Finland. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, regardless of the date or location. 🩷💝 #Mother #Mothers #MothersDay #HappyMothersDay #Mom #Madre #Mamá #FelizDíaDeLaMadre #Mãe #Mamãe #FelizDiaDasMães

I was at the park today, and at times the wind was blowing quite briskly. I closed my eyes then. It was nice that my fur got aired out really thoroughly. #nala #felinefinns #finland #suomi #porvoo #kissa #cat #gato #mainecoon

🐾 We visited the beautiful Japanese-inspired park. When we got home, our PR human couldn’t find the camera anywhere. Fortunately, it was eventually found under the car seat. #nala #nero #porvoo #hanami #sakura #cherrytree #park #writer #library #mainecoon #cats #cat #catsoftheday #bhfyp

🌸 The world is unsettled right now, but fortunately blooming cherry trees bring a bit of comfort. My favorite is the Sargent's cherry, because in spring it turns reddish with both its beautiful flowers and emerging leaves. Its autumn colors are also striking. #nala #cherrytree #cherry #bloom #🌸 #🌺

🌸🐝 Some cherry blossoms have already opened, and bumblebees are sipping nectar from them. The nutrients must be much needed after the long winter. #nero #cherrytree #cherry #bloom #hanami #sakura #bumblebee #bee #nectar #cerezo #cerejeira #🌸 #🐝

🐾 They say I’m quite the daredevil. When Nero was in my way, I decided to take the aerial route. Nero just looked like, “What on earth just flew over me?” #nala #nero #felinefinns #mainecoons #torbie #tabby #daredevil #flying #meow #catsofbluesky #cats #cat #flyingcat

🐾 Today it was so cold and windy that I decided to stay on top of the fireplace instead of going outside. #nero #mainecoon #fireplace #mantelpiece #warmth #warm #cozy #meow #miau

🌼🌷🌸 Happy blooming weekend! 🌺🌹

⛲️ I’m impatiently waiting for this fountain being turned back on again by the friendly and skilled workers of Porvoo. #nala #mainecoon #porvoo #fountain #park #meow #miau #catsofbluesky #cats #bhfyp

🐾 I spent some time today on the unglazed balcony. Because it’s open, I have to use harness there. #nero #felinefinns #porvoo #finland #suomi #cat #cats #mainecoon #meow #miau

🌼 We went to look at daffodils - or narcissii - today. Did you know that the words narcissus and narcissism both originate from Narcissus in Greek mythology, who fell in love with his own reflection and was transformed into a flower—the narcissus? #nero #nala #narcissus #daffodil #yellow

🐈 Today is tortie cat day. I’m a tortie, and on top of that I’m also a tabby—together that makes me a torbie. We’re said to be bold and spirited divas who go our own way. According to our humans, that definitely applies to me too. #nala #tortie #tortietabby #tabby #torbie #calico #diva

☀️Today it was +15 °C (+60 °F), so I spent nearly two hours on my favorite park bench enjoying the spring sunshine. Life is good. 🧡 #nala #lifeisgood #enjoy #enjoying #sunshine #sun

🐾 Today I met a cat who is truly beautiful with his blue eyes. This six-month-old Alpo is very sweet and brave, even though there’s a size difference between us. Hopefully we’ll meet again soon. #nero #alpo #friend #friendship #pals #beautiful

🐧🚤 I was outside for over an hour, but not in vain. I saw the first boat and the first oystercatcher of spring (however, there are no oysters here, as far as I know). #Nala #spring #boat #bird #porvoo #finland #birdsofbluesky #catsofbluesky #boatsofbluesky #meow #miau #bhfyp

🐾 I appreciate visual art, especially charcoal drawings for their beautiful tonal range. Representational art is better than abstract—particularly when the subject is something elegant, like cats. Have a lovely weekend, friends! #nero #art #drawing #painting #visual #visualart

⚖️ Focusing helps in finding balance in life (and on the backrest of a park bench). #nala #balance #acrobatics #park #bench #meow #miau #catsofbluesky #petsofbluesky #animalsofbluesky

💜 It was a windy day today, but to my delight I found the first crocuses of spring. #nero #crocus #krokus #lilac #violet #purple

🐾 Does posing on top of a trash can make me seem kind of trashy?

🐇 Easter decorations are just the best. 🐣 #nero #nala #felinefinns #easter #pasqua #pascuas #Ostern #pâques

🥚🐣🐥🥚🐣🐥🥚🐣🐥🥚🐣🐥🥚🐣🐥 🐇 Friends, Happy Easter! 🐇Ystävät, hauskaa pääsiäistä! 🐇 ¡Amigos, felices Pascuas! 🐇 Amigos, feliz Páscoa! 🐇 Amis, Joyeuses Pâques! 🐇 Amici, buona Pasqua! 🐇 Freunde, frohe Ostern! #nala #easter #pascuas #pascoa #paques #🐇 #🥚 #🐣 #🐥 #🥚🐣🐥

🐇 I wonder when the Easter bunnies will come? #nero #easter #bunny #easterbunny #spring #🐇

🐯 In the park, I’m often called big, even though I’m smaller than Nero, and Numa was almost twice my size. Also, some people say that I look like a little lynx. Is that really so? #nala #lynx #bobcat #feline #park #porvoo #🐯 #🐈

🐾 This orchid is a Venus slipper. Its scientific name, Paphiopedilum, means “the slipper of Paphos.” Paphos is a city in Cyprus where Aphrodite is said to have been born. In Roman mythology, this goddess is known as Venus. She certainly has quite a beautiful slipper, wouldn’t you say?

🐾 Happy Shrove Tuesday, but where are the crocuses? They usually appear as soon as the weather warms up. Maybe they have an internal calendar based on the amount of daylight that tells them not to bloom yet in March. Unlike snowdrops almost two weeks ago. .

🐾 Near our summer cottage, right by the Russian border, there is Ryönanlahti, Wrack Bay in English. It has gotten its name from the debris, wrack, that washes ashore after the ice melts. Right now, mats of wrack are also drifting along the Porvoo River. #nala #porvoo #river #wrack #spring #bhfyp

🌺 I’m a little jealous of orchids. These Vandas get cared for and admired, when our humans could just focus on us cats instead. #nero #orchid #vanda #flower #houseplant #🐈‍⬛ #🐈 #🌺

🐾 I found the first flowers of spring. They appear to be snowdrops. Like many other garden spring flowers, they’re toxic. But of course I don’t touch them, let alone eat them. #nero #spring #flower #springflowers #snowdrop #toxic #march

🐾 What did I predict yesterday? Now a wide ice-free area has opened up in the river. Spring, a warm welcome.

🐾 I went to check the ice situation in the river. I guess the ice will be gone by tomorrow. #nala #river #frozen #frozenriver #ice #melting #icebreaking #porvoo #finland

🌎 Happy vernal equinox to the Northern Hemisphere and autumnal equinox to the Southern Hemisphere. #nero #equinox #spring #porvoo #finland #meow #miau #catsofbluesky

😸 So are we Finnish cats happy too? At least I am—especially now, when the spring evening sun is warming me so nicely. #nala #suomi #finland #happy #happiest #country #happiestcountryintheworld #BeHappy

🌲 I’ve been wondering for some time whether this conifer is a spruce or a fir. Now the matter is settled: it’s neither. It’s a Douglas fir. And despite its name, it’s more closely related to larches. #nala #spruce #fir #larch #tree #conifer

☀️ Today was the warmest day of the year so far. I enjoyed the spring in the park next door for a good hour. #nero #spring #sun #thesun #warm #park #porvoo

🐾 My beloved late big brother Noah 🐈‍⬛ always believed that Friday the 13th — just like black cats — brings nothing but good luck 🍀. Wishing you a lucky Friday and weekend, friends. #nala #noah #fridaythe13th #friday #lucky #luckyday #black #BlackCat

🐾 Saharan dust clouds have been carried northward by air currents all the way up here. Because of this, the sky was beautifully pastel orange this morning.

🐾 Out here, Nala walks ahead and I follow. Nala is a real boss lady by nature. Besides, since she’s older, she knows a lot of things. #nala #bosslady #nero #felinefinns #mainecoons

🐾 Happy International Women’s Day to all the other girls and women. In honor of the occasion, I empowered myself by climbing a tree. #nala #womensday #woman #women #girls #womanpower #female #tree #climbing

☀️ I’ve been waiting for this: after a long spell of freezing weather, the sunshine is once again warming my fur so wonderfully. Spring is about to begin. #Nala #Spring #Primavera #Printemps #Frühling #Lente #Wiosna #Vesna #İlkbahar #Rabīʿ #Bahār #Vasant #ChunTian #Haru #Bom #Sun #Sol #Soleil #Sonne

🐾 We cats are said to be meticulous about cleanliness. I even carry my very own duster with me. #nero #clean #cleaning #fluffy #furry #fluffytail #tail

📸 Our humans say that I’m good at posing in photos. Do you agree? Have a lovely weekend, friends. #nala #posing #pose #photo #photography #photooftheday #catphoto #catphotography #cute #cutecat #cutecat #cuteanimals #CutePets #bhfyp

🐾 It’s been almost two months since the temperature was last above freezing. When it snowed yesterday, today we ended up with slush. A slight frost would have been better, in my opinion. #nero #snow #slush #freezing #cold #freeze #frost #❄️ #🐈 #🐈‍⬛ #🐾

It’s nice to lounge on top of the upstairs bookshelf and watch the snowstorm outside. #nero #snow #storm #snowstorm #blizzard #wind #winter #porvoo #suomi #finland

☁️ There was an interesting-looking blanket of cotton-like tufts in the sky today. I wonder if they were floccus clouds. Should I ask this from the cloud service? As the name suggests, there's probably information about this. #nala #clouds #cotton #sky #altocumulus #bluesky #cloudservices #☁️

🐾 A refreshing winter moment in a snowy park #nala #torbie #mainecoon #cat #winter #park #meow #miau #catsoftheday #catoftheday #catsofbluesky #petsofbluesky #cutecats #catphoto

⛴ The movement of the ice has caused that ship to tilt. In addition, some fool has painted graffiti on its bow, taking advantage of the frozen river.

❄️ We got more snow last night. ❄️ #nero #snow #lumi #snowday #snowfall #snowfun #meow #catsofbluesky #cats #cat #mainecoon #mainecoonsofbluesky #cute #cutepets #cutecats #catphoto
