A photo taken by a gopro camera, focused on a small bowl of cat kibbles. Also in shot is another bowl with water, and some wood in the background. On the kibble bowl's edge, a small bird is standing, seen from the side. It is grey, with orange breast, leading us to assume that it's a European robin.
A strange cat came to munch on our kibbles π€

Photo #1 of a set of 4, with a gray shorthair cat being playful on an outdoor stairway. Pics taken from underneath.
If I touch Narvik when I'm on the ground below him, he gets silly. He slides back and forth on the stairs, contorting himself all sorts of ways. I have to be careful because he will swat at me, not realizing that his claws can do some damage!

Every March for the past 5yrs reopens wounds that will never heal. These days, russians committed Mariupol genocide, massacred families in the northern regions who tried to flee and evacuate.
We must never forget. Every child shot by the invaders. Every innocent soul. We owe justice to them.

A screenshot from a retro-style role-playing game, whose name - The Stuff Fiary Tales Are Made Of - can be seen at the top. It is in a dark forest, with light coming from a fire, and two characters sitting around it facing each other (these are mostly covered by text windows). At the bottom is a text window showing Adele's portrait on the left and the text: "Listen... with your smarts, and my strength, we might actually make a good team. What say you we join forces and continue on this mission together?" Above this window is a smaller window giving two choices: "I would appreciate the company." and "I prefer being on my own."
A screenshot from a retro-style role-playing game, whose name - The Stuff Fiary Tales Are Made Of - can be seen at the top. The location is a merchant camp, with tents housing the merchants. In the middle are two logs serving as benches, and a small firepit. Barbara is standing next to the firepit, facing the main character, Paul, to her right. At the bottom is a text window with Barbara's portrait on the left, and the text: "You know, it might be nice to have company again. I've been alone for weeks and enjoy talking to you. I will join you, for a while."
They might be optional characters, but you wouldn't want to pass on adding the two tough ladies to your party β especially not today! Things are much more difficult without women around π Celebrate #InternationalWomensDay by taking Adele and Barbara on a vital quest in our game β link π

A gray shorthair tabby cat stares into an empty bowl that has a silver spoon at the bottom. Residue from Jello can be seen on the sides of the bowl.
My kitty Narvik was ever hopeful that the huge bowl was full of his favorite food. Alas, it had only contained orange Jello.

A gray shorthair tabby cat lies across a wooden step, head hanging off the edge and tilted, looking directly at the camera. One front paw is visible, curled over the edge of the step. Viewpoint is from the ground looking up at the cat, with trees and blue sky behind.
Narvik posed nicely for his #Caturday portrait. I like the way this one came out.

A photo taken inside, with the window and the windowsill, and part of the cat tree, visible. The radiator, on which towels are drying, can also be seen under the window. A big orange British shorthair cat is sitting on one of the tree's circular platforms, with his back to the camera, looking back over his shoulder. On the windowsill, lying on a yellow blanket and basking in the sunshine, is another British shorthair, a grey one. Next to him, in the corner of the windowsill, a small black-and-orange cat is sitting. All three cats have their ears pricked in interest, the grey one is looking at the photo-taker with an annoyed look on his face, while the other two, with neutral faces, are looking slightly to the right, at the other human in the room (not visible in the picture).
Happy #Caturday from our trio π»
The windowsill and the cat tree are where they can be seen together most often (besides the kitchen, of course, where they get their food πΈ).

Finished Final Fantasy III 3D remake (with Sage Luneth, Geomancer Arc, Black Belt Refia and Ninja Ingus). It was great fun, and since I was warned about the difficulty spike, I was ready and had no frustrations. I'm really glad I played this version βΊοΈ (thanks, #gog ).

I see. That would require finding the insects, though, and when I've found them, I can just scrape them off. I'd need something to spray on the whole plant so it "finds" them for me. I spent almost an hour yesterday going over all the leaves and branches, just to find more that I didn't spot today π

Yes, the plants I put outside in warm months are dealing with them easier. I do scrape off any that I see, but the problem is the bastards are blending in so well, especially on the poinsettia (they're easier to spot on my citrus trees). I'm not sure insecticidal soap can be bought in my country π€

A gray shorthair tabby cat lies on a wooden stairway. He faces left with his head extending beyond the stairs. His left front leg rests on the stair below him. Firewood can be seen on the ground, underneath the porch.
I have a lot of pictures of Narvik on the stairway behind the house. That's one of his favorite observation posts.

The photo is from https://

A close-up photo of scale insects of various sizes on a leaf. An ant is also pictured.
I need pest help π Does anyone have an effective way to get rid of all stages of scale insects? I saw a recommendation for tobacco "tea", anyone has experience with that? The bastards are almost invisible on the plants, and are killing my poinsettia π

A gray shorthair tabby cat stands on a rock that is used as part of a natural stairway. He faces right, tail held high. Around the rock is grass that's partially covered with fallen leaves.
When Narvik goes outdoors, he often walks around the perimeter of the house to see if there have been any intruders. Here he poses on a stone step beside the house.

A gray shorthair tabby cat sits on a decorative mat that's on an old wooden table. The camera angle accentuates his head and whiskers. His pupils are larger than usual because the room was rather dark.
It's #Caturday, and Narvik wants me to post his picture before I do anything else. He is not supposed to be on any of the tables in the house, but I had to take a quick picture before escorting him to the floor.

A Douglas-fir stump in Idaho. The tree had been injured in such a way that it leaned downhill. In order to grow upright, most of the outward growth was on the downhill side, leaving the pith far from the center of the tree.
Since #round is a theme, here is a lesson that things that appear round from the outside might not be round on the inside. This tree, growing on a steep hill, was damaged at an early age and spent its life compensating for the injury.

A photo of a grey British short hair cat curled up in a ball on a blanket. His tail and one of the front legs can be discerned, but otherwise it's just a homogenous fluffy ball. Nothing of his face or ears is visible.
Just a big, soft, fluffy ball βΊοΈ Took me a moment to realize where his head is πΈ

A gray shorthair tabby cat is lying on the floor of a porch that's covered with all-weather carpet. His head is up, facing right. His tail is curved above him. His scratching post is in the upper left corner of the picture. Diagonal shadows streak across the image.
Here is another view of Narvik enjoying a sunny afternoon on the porch.

A small white SUV with a bicycle on back is parked on a narrow road that leads through a grove of coast redwoods (Sequoia simpervirens). Only the lower portions of the trees are shown in the image, as the larger trees are 200 to 300 feet tall. Ferns frame the bottom of the picture.
On #ForestFriday, it's hard to go wrong with California redwoods. I included my car in this image for scale. The size of these trees is hard to comprehend, even for a guy who has spent most of his life wandering the woods.
