Tessera

Female red tabby cat with white face and paws, and a red mustache and chin markings, yellow eyes, pink nose, laying on a table while dressed as the goddess Sekhmet with a little sundisc and cobra headdress, and Egyptian-style necklace. Text reads: "I Crossed The Rainbow Bridge Today; Sonnenlicht 28 June 2006 - 4 January 2026" Border features vertical rainbow stripes with purple on the outer edges, transitioning to red in the center. Decorative Celtic-inspired black line knotwork drawings featuring two cats flanking a triskele (triple spiral).

My baby's gone. RIP Sonnenlicht. You were the bestest #cat ever. 19.5 years wasn't long enough.

Sonnenlicht has been my beloved #furbaby #cat for 19.5 years. We get this one last weekend together, barring a miracle. Not looking forward to Monday.

Hand-painted some shirts as gifts for my parents. Features my #cat wearing her #christmas best. I rarely do cartoony #painting like this. Turned out well, I think.

Two cartoony paintings on red shirts of orange and white tabby cats with large eyes. One wearing green Santa hate, the other wearing green reindeer antlers.

Wanted my Alliance #warcraft house held up by an Ancient. This is the best I could manage with my current decor. I need more leafy stuff.

Been playing with the #warcraft housing. Toilets don't exist, so I made a litterbox for my #Druid main's personal bathroom. Used Crude Banded Crate, Autumn Leaf Pile, and Orgrimmar Beam Platform on three sides. I have joked for years about "AFK Litterbox" and now I have one in-game. XD

Been making a lot of #raccoon butt magnets lately. About to make another batch in case some last-minute holiday orders come in. (I usually say 2 weeks to make, but starting in October I keep unpainted butts on-hand.) www.etsy.com/listing/1043...

Sonnenlicht is a bit high today. Old #cat needed the good meds.

Jules at his vet re-check after dental procedure, lump removal, and shave to remove horrendous matting resulting from being neglected before I took over his care. Shorthair #cats look a bit silly with a lion cut, but he's so much happier now.

Spencer enjoying a nice crunchy leaf roll. #cat #autumn

Orange and white cat rolls belly-up in crunchy brown leaves.

Today I learned how to use a froe and maul to make pecan wood chips. I'd never heard of a froe before, but dad pops outta his shed with one and shows me how to use it.

I forgot to share Sonne in her #Halloween costume! Everyone loves a #cat in a #costume

You ever get a dancing frog stuck in your head and end up humming old timey music?

I was a senior in high school when 9/11 happened. This doodle was done in the following days as teen-me processed the tragedy. Artistically it sucks, it was never finished, but the Feeling, the History is what matters. www.deviantart.com/leiko/art/In...

I didn't know her that well, but she was a good kitty. RIP Mama.

Happy Red, White, & Mew Day! Make sure your fluffy friends are safe if your area gets fireworks. #cat #July4th

Sometimes I take a nice photo. This was just after rain stopped.

This is horrible and so very, very wrong. Call your senators and representatives and demand all this insanity be stopped!

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

We have officially adopted my fluffy cousins. My uncle died several years ago, and the person who was taking care of them decided to give over custody to us.
