Meet the fur babies. Our Bombay cat “House Panther” 🐈‍⬛—the kitchen stool has always been his throne. Today, “Elsa” our Munchkin cat claimed it instead 🐈. Full-on seat swap! No clue why… but we’re watching 👀. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #BombayCat #MunchkinCat #CatLife #PetAntics

Our Black Bombay “House Panther” has claimed a fresh napping spot on the laundry table this Saturday afternoon 🐾😴 He’s drifting off, but that left eye is still on watch… barely. #HousePanther #BlackCat #CatNap #Caturday #BombayCat

This is Elsa. Woke up at 4:05 AM last night with shoulder pain. After applying heat, and ice. I watched some TV. Elsa sensed I hurt and jumped up on the recliner’s arm to keep me company. Snapped this—she hates photos, but stayed anyway. 🐾❤️ #Pets #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday #Comfort #FurryFriends

Elsa has an afternoon and nightly routine… and I’m just part of it 😄 She hops on the couch, then onto my chest. Headbutt = “you’re mine,” then she settles in to watch TV with me. Doesn’t matter what’s on… it’s better with Elsa 🐾📺 #CatsOfBluesky #CatLife #Cats

House rule in effect: our Bombay Cat House Panther claims every new delivery box as his domain. 📦🐈‍⬛ ONE box at a time though! We buy fancy new toys, but the box wins every time. He’ll humor us with the toy… until he’s tired and returns to his box throne. #Caturday #BlackCats #CatLogic #CatsOfBluesky

The rule in our house: the moment I stand up, the stool belongs to the House Panther. 🐈‍⬛ One jump, one stare, and the message is clear — “Thank you for warming my seat.” #Caturday #HousePanther #BombayCat #BlackCats

Solar Cycle 25 is making HF propagation rough today. A CME from Jan 8 hit the ACE spacecraft at 19:42 UTC (Jan 10). A G1 geomagnetic storm is underway, with a chance of G2 in the next 24 hours. Expect noisy bands. www.solarham.com #HamRadio #SolarCycle25 #CME #SpaceWeather #Propagation

Elsa, our munchkin cat, has claimed her spot under the Christmas tree 🎄🐾—patiently waiting for the gifts to arrive. Clearly, she’s decided they’re all hers anyway. #MunchkinCat #ChristmasCat #CatsofBluesky #HolidayVibes #UnderTheTree #CatLife #FestiveFeline #Caturday #CatSaturday

Do you know anyone named Carol who watches Plur1bus on Apple TV? I was watching the scrolling Roku screensaver on my TV—that’s famous for Easter eggs referencing classic and current TV shows and movies. Look at these screenshots. “Hello, Carol” is on the theater marquee! #Plur1bus #AppleTV #Roku

This is Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, chilling under the Christmas tree tonight 🎄. It’s her favorite spot in the house, and she absolutely loves Christmas—watching everything while waiting for the presents to appear under the tree! #CatLife #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #ChristmasCat

House Panther reporting for duty! Our Bombay beauty 🐈‍⬛ he insists every new delivery must be inspected… especially Christmas gift boxes. Taking a break on top of the newest arrivals. Nothing gets past the Chief Feline Inspector! 🐾📦🎄 #BombayCat #CatInspector #FelineLife #ChristmasBoxes #CatsofBluesky

We’ve been caring for four feral cats shared with a neighbor. All are fixed, Kitten Boots has really taken to people. Today, with no treats, she let me pick her up twice and even tried to come inside. She clearly wants to be domesticated, so we’re taking it slow. #FriendlyFeral #CatsofBluesky

🚨 Something big is happening online — major internet services are currently down or are going down across the web. Outages spreading fast with no clear cause yet. Stay alert, stay connected (if you can). 🌐⚠️ Are you experiencing this too? #InternetOutage #CyberAlert #TechNews #Breaking #WebDown

The truth is finally surfacing! First, a Trump birthday card—now a Prince Andrew photo and email in the U.K. Someone’s clearly dropping evidence to trusted journalists. Time to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, End the Shutdown, and release the Epstein files. #TruthMatters #EpsteinFiles

Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, is chilling on my lap this morning — enjoying some quiet time and showing off her adorable lion cut 🦁 Her long fur was getting a bit too much for her to manage, but she’s looking regal as ever! #MaineCoon #SeniorCat #LionCut #CatLife #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #LapCat

Solar Cycle 25 has been crazy this year—solar storms, flares, and brutal HF propagation. Again today I turned on my gear (old shack photo) to find a noise floor from S2-S6. Hope things calm down! 73!🌞 📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm

I have a question—or maybe I should ask: has anyone else had this experience? My question wouldn’t fit in 300 characters, so I attached my thoughts as an image 🙂. #Streaming #ClassicMovies #TVShows #Netflix #AmazonPrimeVideo #AppleTV #Subscriptions #PayMore #NotIncluded #RotatingContent #WhatGives

Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, joined me on the patio to enjoy some sunshine! She’s an indoor cat but loves tagging along when I sit outside. Rocking her new lion cut—it keeps her comfy and stylish to help her keep up with her long coat,🦁☀️ #MaineCoon #SeniorCat #LionCut #Caturday #CatsofBluesky

Listening on ham radio: Learned ex-pats living in Albania had a minute end of war celebration! Trump told journalists he stopped a war between Azerbaijan and “Albania”. Later he inserted a different country into Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, saying he prevented a war between Armenia and Cambodia.

Walmart 18 months NY Strip Steak: $30.23 (3/24/23) → $42.15 (9/18/25) Families are hurting 😢. Walter Cronkite said “Democracy isn’t a spectator sport”. Plato offered a cautionary note, “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors”.

This is House Panther, our Bombay cat 🐾 He loves napping on the couch behind my head in the afternoon, though he wasn’t thrilled when I snapped this picture. That look says, “Okay, picture time is over!” #CatsOfBluesky #BombayCat #CatNap

With all the Sun’s activity in Solar Cycle 25, I sure hope we don’t see anything like another Carrington Event in September 1859 🌞 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carring... #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #SpaceWeather #SolarCycle25 #CME #RadioPropagation #HF

Just found out about the Museum of Radio & Technology in Huntington, WV—never knew it was there! 📻 They’ve got restored vintage ham gear & more. Definitely on my list to visit. #HamRadio #RadioHistory #WV #AmateurRadio www.mrtwv.org

House Panther met his plush doppelgänger—and he’s not amused. Our sleek Bombay black cat, guardian of his domain, can’t figure out why the “intruder” won’t respond. Watching him circle and inspect his silent rival was pure comedy. Happy Caturday! 🐾😂 #cats #catpics #catsky #catsofbluesky #caturday

Solar Cycle 25’s been a wild ride—flares, storms, and punishing HF conditions. Fired up the rig tonight (old shack pic) and the noise floor was sky-high. Here’s hoping the bands calm down soon! 🌞📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm

This is Rusty, our beloved dachshund who passed at 18½ years. Taken July 18, 2005—with his first ham bone. He loved it so much he turned into a little gremlin guarding it! No-one could take it away! Stubborn, possessive, and yes, an occasional a**hole—but we adored him. Forever part of the family 🐾❤️

Unreal. Park Service staff are in survival mode—doing everything from cleaning toilets to firefighting—after massive Trump-era cuts. This isn’t how you “Make America Great.” Hats off to the dedicated workers keeping our parks alive despite the neglect. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Meet House Panther — our sleek Black Bombay cat. Here he is in a box from a freshly delivered package. Because of course, it’s a new box… which means he must sit in it and guard it like royal treasure — until he decides he’s had enough. 🐾🐈‍⬛ #BlackCat #CatsofBluesky #CatInAbox #FelineRoyalty #CatLife
