He's wondering if they fit
They’re mine but he won't quit.
He doesn't give a shit,
because he's wondering if they fit.

He planned his attack last night.
Where battle in dreams I might.
Face such magnificent creatures as he.
But those are my blue jeans!

They were clean and now they’re
claimed.
Tomorrow will be different. I know his game.

This boy has been my best bud for 11 years. I can't imagine a day without him. We got him from a rescue and were told that he used to live in a barn. Although with how afraid of new people and outside noises he is it's hard to believe.

I've worked from home for years now and he posts up on my desk like this most of the day. I love him with all my heart 😭

PS: Blanket is a tortilla pattern, not super dirty or anything

Furry waves of wondrous white
Will you be grooming yourself tonight?
You’ve left yourself in quite a mess. I’m Grabbing the Brush!
It’s giving me stress!

He closes his eyes as the room grows still, One paw reaches out of its own free will. Touch it once if you’re daring to know— He’ll show you the places your future will go.

The good and the grim are whispered to him, Some futures are bright, while others are dim. So reach for his paw if you’re daring to know… He already knows if you’re going to, though.

Not much actually. But she knows a good box when she finds it.

Ivanova and I just had a breakthrough.

She is a spicy girl.

I have sat with her for hours on my chest and the most I ever got from her was the faintest hint of a purr.

A few days ago we removed all her roommates. I am now her only link to other lifeforms. I pulled her out of her kennel and did my usual attempts to pet her.

And then Charlie walked up purring very loudly. I decided to let them touch noses. The moment I did that Ivanova started purring loudly. And it wasn't in that self soothing passive aggressive way that some cats do. She was experiencing joy.

I don't know if she will ever be adoptable but this was a big step in the right direction. She needs a house where she can be a ghost and someone is going to be okay with that until she eventually decides that a person is better than nothing and both can experience the joy I just had.

Every day, she yells for her catgrass until I give her a bit. Sometimes (when it's grown long) she gets to eat straight from the planter.

Two pretty faces, hiding away,
Certain they’ve fooled me again today.
One guards the entrance, serious and white,
One’s in the back going, “Dude… move right.”

It’s secret. It’s clever. Their plan is complete.
Except for the whiskers.
And faces.
And feet.

I adopted him last month, he's adorable! It's hard to get pictures of him because every time he notices the camera he moves

The world is full of naming sins.
It's chaos, I declare.
If cats were put in charge of words,
we'd straighten things out there.

Blue things would all be blue things.
Cat things would all be cats.
And hot dogs would be called
"Not Dogs"—

which ultimately settles that. 🐾

"If I fits," he hummed with grace,
And pressed his paws into our space.
We creaked, we bowed, our corners split

He did not care. He fits. He sits.

Now we are throne and bed and fort,
A corrugated royal court.

Our shipping days are long since quits-
We serve the one who fits and sits.

The best things don’t arrive at the door because you clicked “buy now.”

They arrive because, while you were searching somewhere else,

they had already, on quiet paws,

found you.
