I used to think her eyes pointed the same direction. I don’t know how.

She hid under the bed when I shook out a garbage bag. This is her cautiously returning.

She’s still pretty angry about Daylight Savings Time.

Somedays she looks extra orange. Like someone adjusted her vibrance slider.

Mine does some version of this all night. (Usually with her eyes closed.)
I stayed at someone's house last week and they have a cat. And I never knew this but, when you go to sleep... cats just wander about the house catting all night? You can't "put a cat to bed"?! The cat just... gets the house for a while?! Fucking nuts.

People talk about overnight zoomies, but Bella would happily lay on me like this all night if only I’d Stop. Moving. 5 am zoomies though, are a different thing.

I had a dream that I was trying to make friends with a pack of kittens, but a little orange one liked me best. My big orange one was sleeping on me the whole time. 🥰🧡

She just bit my hand, and now she’s this close to my face… (To be fair, she’s being really good, breakfast and morning meds are late today.)

She’s nursing me back to health. (I only have a headache, but I will not say no to nursing.)

Hello. I would like to rub my face on your face.

She was mad because a good song came on my reels and I started dancing while still laying down.

I think she’s scheming.

I asked my girl if she ever astral projects, and she just purred at me. That could mean anything.
Ok this is so weird. When I first took ifosfamide chemo, I hallucinated overnight, which is a known side effect. I saw cats. Real “Three Lives of Thomasina” stuff. I told my nurse the next day and she said, “A lot of people say they see cats.”

Sometimes she looks like she’s scheming, but I know she’s actually trying to rub her nose on my face. It does tickle, but it isn’t exact diabolical.

I offered Bella a corn husk from a tamale to bite, but she turned up her nose. If it’s not plastic or my hand, she’s not interested.
