You can call me Piper or Pipermaru. She/Her. I like cats. I have two: Ember is an older tortie and Ash is grey and white. Ember is Ash’s mother. They are bonded and I adopted them when they were 10 and 3.

Video alt text: At the start of the video we just see the end of a grey tail from around a doorway. Our view moves around the corner to see Ash, a grey and white cat, sitting on the wood floor. A voice say “hey Ash” and she meows back. The voice then says “you’re pretty cute” and Ash looks down.

A late night #WhiskerWednesday Ash is really purring 😀 She’s in her favorite nighttime spot between my feet at the end of the bed. #CatsofBluesky

Ember is taking a bath of the dining room table. I couldn’t get a good picture because her head was moving too fast. So here’s a close up of some beans. #CatsofBluesky

It couldn’t hurt!

If anyone's got a pet in need of a blessing, it's the Blessing of the Animals today. Check for a (Catholic, Lutheran, or Episcopal, not sure about the rest) church near you.

I feel it’s unlikely my reach is more than those who have already shared, but on the off chance..

Reupping this again: MSP please alert the young white women with golden doodles, one of them urgently needs the post-exposure rabies series.

This is the picture of Ash that I showed to my dance friends. I noticed I haven’t shared it here yet! She’s doing her usual cute, please pet me, routine. #CatsofBluesky

Monday night dance teacher likes to start class with a little icebreaker type question along with a needs checkin. Today she asked what our favorite thing is about the weather we were having (very fall like here today). I said how cuddly my cats are when it's chilly...

And we proceeded to chat about our cats for the next 15 minutes. 😆 We did get a lot of dancing done, and then near the end when we were having a water break she noted we needed to share pictures after class. Which we did. It was great.

Another evening in the basement, and here’s Ash telling me all about the large daddy long legs spider she just ate. Maybe this is why they love the basement, it’s full of snacks. #CatsofBluesky

A late #WhiskerWednesday post as we are hanging out in the basement. Ember really likes when I follow her down here. Not sure what the draw is, lol. #CatsofBluesky

Got out some fresh crinkle papers for the first time in a few weeks. Ember got her fill while Ash was napping. Now Ash has come to get her nip fix. #CatsofBluesky

Went to a park to hang out with some dance friends today and these sandhill cranes were just taking over some of the picnic tables. Totally unbothered by people, we were walking by pretty close.

Ember isn’t sure exactly what her human is doing with that black rectangle. Maybe she can find an answer on the ceiling? Or at least a bug. #CatsofBluesky

Why am I suddenly being followed by a bunch of random looking accounts? I usually get one or two follows at most per day, and today I’ve gotten 8. Strange.

Ash is ready for bed. We had our treats and it’s time for snoozing. She thinks the human should get moving and get to bed, but she’ll stay near either way. #CatsofBluesky

I finally took a picture of one of the black squirrels that live in the neighborhood. There are a few black ones around, and we’ve had white squirrels in the past too. Figured a few of the cats around might find this interesting. #squirrel

Went to a community dance event at another studio and got this wrist band. The ladies were very interested. Ember played with it a bit after this, but I don’t think this will be a new favorite. #CatsofBluesky
