Again with the cat pictures instead of linkity (plus bonus socks)

I was recuperating from a migraine (the first one in 14 months!) during linkity making time, so have some cute cat pictures instead. Plus some completed knitted objects!

Mayhem, so over my taking her picture.

Harry hanging out mostly upside-down on the kitty hammock.

Polly looking as if her body’s missing.

This pair of Meilenweit Cotton socks is for me. It’s a bit of a miracle that they match as closely as they do, because there were a couple of knots in the skeins – and in one, the colorway reversed. :Jean-Luc Picard facepalm:

These were gifted to my SIL for her birthday. Let’s just say that Fame Trend has some loooooooooong color shifts. Fortunately, my SIL claims to love this pair of only vaguely related socks.

Lack of linkity, but of course – cat pictures

I think Mayhem broke her personal record for sitting on my lap, thus preventing me from doing linkity. Next week!

Harry on my legs, Mayhem on my lap, and Polly taking a bath beside me. You’d never guess that this was after it turned cool, but before the heat was turned on for my building, would you? 😉

The rest of the series of photos after the one where Harry sat on Polly from last week:

Polly looks So Done.

Whatever’s up there is obviously FASCINATING.

Don’t mind me, guys!

In which Harry and Polly turn 2


Mayhem helping my newly washed sheets regain some of the lost fur…

Happy 2nd birthday to Harry and Polly!

How about some cat pictures instead of any actual linkity?

I was super productive today, but linkity was not one of the things I produced. :shrugging: Please enjoy some cat pictures. 😀

And I know I don’t say it enough, but thank you to everyone who’s still around reading and/or commenting! You guys are the best.

*thlurrrrp* -Mayhem

Sibling smackdown!

Polly upsidedown cake!

Polly caught pre-thlurrrrp, managing to look as if there’s not a brain cell in her fuzzy little head.

Kittens!

Introducing Harbinger (“Harry”) and Apocalypse (“Polly”). They’re still living in the kitty room as I slowly get Mayhem used to their scents and curious about them.

They were found abandoned in a field near the beginning of August 2020 and were bottle fed by their foster mom. They’re a bonded pair and they also LOVE PEOPLE.

“Whatcha doing, lady?” -Harry and Polly

Maybe it’s just me, but I think Harry looks an awful lot like Chaos. Harry’s eyes are an unphotographable amber (not green) and he has a perfectly normal tail (versus Chaos’ slightly short tail with its kinked tip). I would NOT recommend getting between Harry and a sparkle ball.

“Why did you stop petting me, lady?!” -Harry

“Does this scratcher make my ears look big?” -Harry

Polly’s a sweet goofball! Very snuggly and a bit more timid than Harry. Harry’s a bit more reserved than Polly.

“That was some good ‘nip, lady!” -Polly

“I guess I like you ok, lady!” -Polly
