The local chapter of the Orange Cat Club gathered for supper and a meeting on our front porch yesterday evening. (Only 4 in this pic, couldn't get them all in the same shot.) #catsky #moggymonday #catsofbluesky #orangecats

Several orange cats of various sizes and ages congregate on the front porch. They've mostly finished their supper and are just hanging out.

Pirate Kitty hopes you're having a good Sunday, and reminds you to drink some water. #tuxedocats #catsofbluesky #catsky

A black-and-white one-eyed tuxedo cat looks up at the camera from a spot beside a small table with a bowl of water and a bowl of kibble. Underneath the table and the cat are white puppy pads because the cat's human, when tired, keeps tripping or getting off balance and spilling the water. Behind the cat are two cardboard scratching pads. A purple mousie sits on one.

"I've had my arm shaved, been poked and prodded all over, had surgery on my ear, and now have to deal with a cone and a plastic thingy, plus medicine randomly hidden in my food, but yeah, a new mouse toy makes up for all that. Sure." - Big Boy, Sept 2020. #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #catsky

A large long-haired gray cat with yellow eyes poses on a dark blue blanket on a bed, looking into the camera. There is a yellow mouse toy between his large front paws. His left ear has stitches in it and a white plastic mesh on the back side from a surgical procedure.

Front: Security Guard Cat's recently homed friend joined him for breakfast today. Center: Carnival Queen. Back: CQ's kittens & boyfriend (only 1 kitten can be partly seen because CQ has to put herself in the middle of everything). #feralcats #catsky #feraltofriendly

A group of community cats gather around some plates of food under porch furniture for breakfast. In front are two orange cats (possibly father & son?). At far right a large black cat is partly seen. In the middle of everything is a white-with-gray-tabby-spots cat staring up at the camera. Behind her are the single remaining kitten from her spring litter and the smallest kitten who looks like her from the summer litter. Further back (not pictured) are two more kittens from her summer litter, who are STILL living in the engine compartment of my car.
This is the smallest kitten's first day back on the front porch, having been dropped off on the back porch by CQ, apparently to be raised by Maman, who had 2 spring kittens and 5 summer kittens of her own. It all looks suspiciously like CQ attempted to cheat-win their most-kittens contest by sending in a sneezy kitten to infect Maman's group. Meanwhile, another tomcat has been successfully TNR'd but CQ & Maman remain elusive and fertile.

"I'M BAAAAACK!" - Studio Cat, who visited her vet earlier this week, and received a new injection for arthritis pain (along with her usual trio of shots). A knot near her tail was found to be a benign cyst. She seems to be feeling much better. #Caturday #tuxedocats #catsfbluesky #catsky

A black-and-white tuxedo cat sits upright on a faux-wood-topped desk, yawning, appearing to shout, "I'M BACK!" The monitor is showing her video of choice for the day, a seashore with waves. A birthday card from Chewy sits on the desk nearby, as Studio Cat recently celebrated her 16th birthday. It wasn't her actual birthday, unless she's a time traveler, because I have photos of her here as a kitten before the birthdate listed with the vet. (She was probably born sometime in July, but prefers to continue celebrating in September instead of sharing with Pirate Kitty and Le Petit Monsieur, who are both July bebes.)

PSA: Check under your hood/bonnet for cats & kittens. Winter isn't the only time they'll get in there with your engine, and knocking on the top may only scare them and make them go deeper into the car. This #ThrowbackThursday was June, 2022. #TBT #catsky #feralcats

There is greenery on the other side of the railing.

"I am NOT a babysitter," said Security Guard Cat for the 435th time, as the Carnival Queen moved her kittens out of the garage and around to the front of the house. Meanwhile, on the back porch, Maman's kittens are all doing well, and learning to climb. #MoggyMonday #feralcats #kittens

An orange tomcat sits on a black mat near the front of a porch, trying to ignore the tiny gray-and-white tabby kitten his friend dropped off. As the only Security Guard Cat on the property, the orange dude has many important things to do and places to go. He is not a babysitter. His friend just keeps bringing more kittens. She dropped off a bunch under the car, which is really going to upset the human. She says she didn't ask him to babysit, and this is true, but she knows unsupervised kittens are Not Allowed. She says the stripey one she had earlier this spring is watching the babies so she can "run errands" but that one is still a kitten itself. It's annoying when your friends put you in a difficult position, and she does it all the time. He's about ready to call Kitten Protective Services on her. He is NOT a babysitter.

A small orange kitten looks up to the window the food comes from, having scrambled up to the bench where its maman is eating some kibble from a plate. To the right, one of the black-and-white kittens from the previous litter looks on.

Le Petit Monsieur is very puzzled about why these last two mice can't seem to pick up the skill of using the litter box. He has successfully trained all 27 of the other mice to do it; you will not find a single catnip mouse dropping anywhere, except from these two. #catboxsunday #catsofbluesky

A gray litter box with two catnip mice on top of the litter, one bright green, the other gray. A large puppy pad is positioned under and around the litter box. In the foreground, looking into the litter box, a black-and-white tuxedo cat shakes his head. It's as though these mice don't understand the most basic concept of using the litter box, despite his best efforts to train them. They're just sitting there, lounging around as though there aren't 27 other mice waiting to use the box.

A small black-and-white tuxedo cat crouches on the back of an armchair in a semi-loaf. He appears to be thinking hard, trying to figure out how to get these mice litter-trained.
