some cats

A large fluffy grey tabby, kind of a longhaired version of Major Tom, who has stuffed his entire self into a USPS medium top-opening flat rate box. He looks pretty pleased about it all.

This is Baldur! I am told that he is Very Happy whenever his humans get a box from me.

 

Below is Zoey, my roommates' truck cat, on a rare visit home. This basket is usually only occupied by Hades, & you had best believe there were Opinions.

A smol cat in a big basket -- all that's visible is the top half of Zoey's head. Her nose is pink, her muzzle is white, her ears & most of her face are stripey orange, & she's got an upside-down black heart on her forehead.

I dared to go into a room & close the door. He had Opinions about that, too.

Hades is sitting in the hallway, just outside a door that I have DARED to close on him. He's staring up at the doorknob with great focus.

Loiosh had Opinions about whether I should be talking. His opinion was No.

Me, a white person, sitting cross-legged on the floor. I'm holding Loiosh upside down in my arms like a baby, & he's got both paws firmly pressed against my face over it.

But then he found this excellent cat bed & was Very Happy.

A classic woven baby basket sits just inside a window. It's got a couple of blue plaid blankets in it, & is, also, infested with an orange cat.

I found the baby basket at, guess what, the abandoned house, & set it up for them a couple weeks ago, but you know cats, it took a while for them to admit it was there. It's gonna be popular now though.

*virtu-pets some cats! All the cats, in fact!*

Zoe sounds adorable. Calico, tortie, or torbie? Orange stripes+white+black splotchy. <3

When I saw the first one I thought: I didn't know you could get cats through priority mail!

Icon is my Baldur of blessed memory.

She's mostly white, with black spots & orange tabby spots, so I think calico is the right term?

That is all of them. Some will accept belly pets!

Loiosh tries to mail himself to people on the regular, but he hasn't managed it yet!

Ummmmm calico splotchy tabby somethingorother... She sounds like a beautiful kitty, whatever her coloring. :) So does Baldur the fluffy gray. And your boys are love, as ever.
