Otto and Starling have to share an account now, just like they have to share an apartment. It's Starling's turn to be in the profile pic.

Yes, it is in fact very dead.

Actually it doesn't even need to be hot, Otto just likes being a Window Cat when it's open

Someone should wake Otto up and tell him it’s #whiskerswednesday

Otto the orange cat is asleep with his head upright. You can see his white whiskers and even some eyebrow whiskers.

During heat waves, Otto likes to sit right in front of the windows we open.

Starling has discovered our new dining room furniture makes for a good hiding spot.

Otto looks like he wants something. Did you forget to feed him?

Otto the orange cat is seen from above, sitting on a blue and gray rug. He's looking up intently at the camera.

Otto told me it’s Ginger Cat Appreciation Day, so here, have a picture to appreciate of Otto and Starling cuddling.

Otto and Starling, two orange cats, are cuddled up on top of a black blanket on a gray couch. Starling is looking at the camera, while Otto is napping the other way.

Otto is keeping watch through the window. Starling is napping (maybe it's his break time?)

Two orange cats are lying on the same level of a white cat tower in front of a darkened window. Otto, on the left, is looking out the window. Starling is curled up behind him asleep.

Otto backlit by some sunlight.

Otto the orange cat is sitting on a white cat tower in a window. He's looking toward the camera, and the sun is shining on his head from behind, lighting up the top of his head and his ears.

Otto and Starling, Oranges @cat-orangerie.bsky.social · last mo.

Otto is not thrilled that I woke him up.

Otto the orange cat is looking at the camera with what can best be described as an expression of disdain.

Otto and Starling, Oranges @cat-orangerie.bsky.social · last mo.

Cinnamon rolls coexisting.

Otto and Starling are sitting on a blue rug in sort of half-loaf poses, next to each other but not quite touching, facing the same way.

Long Starling isn't as long as Long Otto. I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually.

Starling the orange cat is sitting on a blue rug facing away from the camera but with his head turned back to look behind him, with his front paws out in front of him, and his tail stretched out straight behind him.

Otto and Starling, Oranges @cat-orangerie.bsky.social · last mo.

Long Otto is long.

Otto the orange cat is lying on his back on a slate blue comforter. His eyes are mostly closed, and his back paws are stretched out so he looks very long.

Who could say no to this face in the morning when he chirps and demands petting

For a cat who (as far as we know) grew up outdoors without being formally socialized, Starling sure does like to lay on soft things.

Starling, an orange cat, semi-loafing on a black and white throw pillow on a gray couch. This is the pillow that says "RESERVED for the CAT" on the other side.

Another angle of Starling in the same position on the throw pillow. He still manages to look sad.

Otto wants to learn how to play Rhythm Heaven. Not sure how he's going to hold the controller.

Otto, an orange cat, is sitting on the floor in front of a TV on which someone offscreen is playing Rhythm Heaven (the minigame with the flan robot). He's looking up at the screen attentively.

Otto likes the office tower too. In fact, he's more likely to spend time here lately than Starling.

Otto, an orange cat, loafing on a beige cat tower facing away from the camera. He looks mostly asleep, with his tail curled up at the end.

If you missed the solar eclipse, this is what it looked like:

In fact, they sometimes even (sort of) cuddle!

Otto and Starling, orange cats, lying on a white cat tower. This level has a "hutch" area covering the right half. Otto is sound asleep taking up almost the entire level, squishing Starling into the back corner of the hutch. Starling has one eye partially open to look at the camera.

They don't always annoy each other.

Two orange cats on a white cat tower. Otto is on a higher level, facing a window, while Starling is on the level below him. They are both looking back at the camera.

Spoiled kitty.

Starling, an orange cat with sad eyes, is lying in a covered cat scratcher that is made to look like a milk carton. It says "Fresh Whole Milk", "1 half callon of PURR", "Spoiled Kitty", "Have you seen this spoiled cat?" and other cute slogans. However, Starling still manages to look sad.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title is “Cats living together”.
The first panel shows a black cat and orange cat cuddling with their eyes closed. The orange cat says “I love you”. The black cat says “I love you too”.
The second panel zooms in on them.
The third panel shows the orange cat opening its eyes.
The fourth panel shows the orange cat raising its paw to punch the black cat. It says, “Actually you know what”.

Paw.

A close up of the bottom of an orange cat's paw. This one belongs to Otto, and you can see his pink toe beans.

Poor Starling had tapeworms and had to go to the vet. Here he is looking betrayed and sad.

Starling, an orange cat with sad eyes, is lying on a white plastic scale in a veterinary exam room, with a gray blanket draped over him.

Otto wrote a poem he wants me to share with you: "This is just to say zzz"

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Otto is learning to share, more or less.

Otto and Starling are both lying on a gray couch. Starling is closer to the camera, looking forward and somewhat loaf-shaped. Otto is behind him on a red blanket, and is giving Starling some serious side-eye. Starling is oblivious.
