I spent several days wondering if we have two gray tabbies or just one. This is Diva. If she is the only one, then she is a shape shifter. Snow looks for her all day. Snow lets me know when porch food needs replenishing. Diva is family, whether she likes it or not. But I suspect that she does. <3

George was out back by the old shed. I stepped out to say hi. He got ready to bolt but didn't. Then at the front door, George was waiting! How could he run that fast? Back to the kitchen for cat food. OMG, there are two Georges! I have another black kitten!

It's good to have a catitude of gratitude. Be sure to thank your humans whenever you can. #SnowDays #SnowshoeCat #CatsOfBluesky #FureverHome

Snow came to me crying. Something was amiss. What? Kitty chores were done. But she insisted. I said, "Show me." She led me to the door. George had spilled his food. For the first time ever, he didn't scurry when I stepped outside. Here's proof. <3 #SnowshoeCat #CatsOfBluesky #FeralLove

Snow's tail does not want to be washed and puts up a spirited fight for freedom. Snow is puzzled at my laughter. Surely this is serious business. #SnowDays #SnowshoeCat #CatsOfBluesky #BlueskyCats #Cats

Here I am watching Diva have breakfast. Diva is a feral acquaintance that has stayed with us since last summer. I'm not sure we are friends yet but I enjoy her company. Stormy puts my bowl next to the door when she feeds Diva so we can dine together and chat. #SnowDays #SnowshoeCat #CatsOfBluesky

It's my day off and I'm in boycott. But it's gorgeous outside. Snow's feral friends ignored breakfast, maybe to hunt their own food. So she cries all morning with a need I cannot satisfy: peer companionship. My solution: Nap-inducing bird videos with sound. #SnowDays #SnowshoeCat #CatsOfBluesky

Day 8. Last night Snow filched a huge piece of turkey skin from my dinner plate, carrying it away like freshly hunted prey. Snow is single-minded when she wants a treat. She does not want to be petted. She wants the damn treat. #SnowshoeCat #SnowDays #CatsOfBluesky

A few cats have died from bird flu after eating raw food. And some raw pet food products have been recalled. Here's what to know about the risks to your fur babies, and how to keep them safe.

Stormy's post 12/8/2023 Day 7 Last night when I spoke to Snow, she replied. I could hear her purring. She did not purr when she came here. Sunshine is streaming through the door, warming the rug. Snow is toasting herself at the threshold and I am happy to see it. Sunlight is a magic healer.

This past summer Stormy saw some scrawny kittens in the back yard, hiding from tree trimmers over their chosen space. She left food and water for them and has done so ever since. The young black one we call George. He introduced himself one evening. I was very excited.

Stormy's post after our first night. Alt-text has notes. #1: Snow is about 15 years old. She was left next to a Dumpster, in a carrier, without food and water, on August 1, 2023. High temp was 93. God bless whoever got her to Memphis Humane. I promise not to hex whoever abandoned her. For now.

About my family: in the '60s, a Siamese mom had three kittens with white paws, who got married to American Shorthair cats. Snowshoes have traits of their grands plus special white marks. A Snowshoe won Grand Champion at ACFA in 1990 and here we are today. #SnowDays #SnowshoeCat #CatsofBluesky

Stormy had a moment of terror today. She downloaded her FB acct but couldn't find the text for my Snow Days album. But it's there, hidden in a strange archive hierarchy. One day we'll print a book. But for now, I must make sure she doesn't drown in the bathtub. #SnowDays #snowshoecat #CatsofBluesky

Hello, all, I'm Snow. I am a snowshoe cat living in Memphis with my human, Stormy. I'm moving my biography to Bluesky today. Stormy writes stories about me and doesn't want them censored or blocked. I hope you'll follow me and invite others to join. #SnowDays #snowshoecat #petjournal #buhbyeFacebook
