My newest foster kittens try out for a gig as models for a 17th-century religious painting. I think little Orion (top) fancies himself as St. Sebastian being martyred. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday

Gulf fritillary hanging out in the garden this evening. It doesn't look real--but it is. #butterflies

I can't remember the last time my garden got this much rainwater. It's so happy.

Buster's celebrating the third day of Christmas with baubles, not French hens. Though I'm sure he'd take them if he could catch 'em. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

I've read the headlines this morning.

Buster. He and his brother Charlie are our newest foster kittens. It took him a little while to come around, but now he's the sweetest little guy. I credit the magic properties of Churru as a bribe. #CatsOfMastodon #cats #caturday

Our newest foster kitten. He came to us half civilized; now he purrs when we talk to him. We're still working on his brother, who is about 3/4 of the way to lap kitten. #caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Morning? Already?

This gorgeous guy is Dante. I fostered him when he was a kitten (along with his sisters, Beatrice and Vita), and now he is back with me while his owner recovers from surgery. He is as sweet now as he was 12 years ago. #CatsOfMastodon #caturday
