Awareness of the outside world. I’ve got nothing. I have nothing to add to the major news of the day and it feels like a lack of attention to wander off and comment on other things.

Home team is doing fine, just not being narratively gripping. After Milton’s adventures this year, I have to admit that boring has its upsides. However, blog content is not one of those upsides. So we take a brief cat break.
Cute photo of cats stretched out in the sun, interrupted by one of the subjects coming over to inquire what I was up to.
Left, Moose, short for Pamplemousse due to a rotund, grapefruit-like shape that she possessed for a while. The figure trimmed down; the name stayed. She is Long Tail of the tabby litter. [What’s Been Happening, Kittens]
Right, Blue has appeared in multiple posts, usually as a photobomb. As you can imagine, his name – which he came with – makes it hard to search the blog. [Blue At The Barn]
The title is an homage to “Cat Pictures Please” by Kritzler (Clarkesworld 2015). I have mentioned the story before and always reread it when I repost it.
Onwards!

The tabbies are orange, not gray? All these years I’ve pictured them as gray! Thanks for the update.
How old is Blue? Old? Looks good.

Brown tabbys. Light brown belly looks orange in the bright sun.
