Flat on the wood floor. I promise, she is not dead!
Happy #Caturday from #Minette.
It was a long, exhausting, day of supervising her human.

Stunning shot!
How cute is that! Must be forgiven for stealing based on cuteness level.
Thank you! They are so much fun to watch

A roseate spoonbill in flight. Such an unlikely bird. As a kid I thought they were fake, like unicorns.

I will be sad to see them leave but I know they'll be in good hands!

Those eyes 😍, that floof 😍
Gorgeous cat!
When I was a kid, we had a grey angora cat who would make the scariest sounds if a dog came close to the property. She was otherwise the sweetest.
She should but she doesn't know it. And the medication does have a strong smell for such a small dose.
It is 🤣
Yes and yes 🤣. We're back to long conversations already.

Yes, it is. She hasn't figured it out yet and we've been doing it for almost 15 years so I might be safe from her learning to recognize it 🤣
She thinks that is monthly torture and would like to file a complaint but then she sits on my lap and forgets about it.
She is
Always. They build amazing nests in the most unlikely of locations.
She's very limited on treats because of her IBD but she's such a cuddle bug that she can't stay mad too long if there's a chance for some cuddles.

Minette got her flea/tick/heartworm preventive tonight and she's not talking to me anymore.
