Ed 🐈‍⬛, Stede 🐈, and Izzy 🐈‍⬛

An orange and white tabby curled up in an outdoor chair

We still can’t get very close to Stede but he’s obviously getting a little more comfortable #FeralPirateCats

A calico curled up on a pillow, napping in the sun

Spouse and I had a long convo last night about where our non-feral cats would fit in on the crew

We landed on the obvious and fitting Black Pete for Hemi and Spanish Jackie for Rilke bc tbh she is the one in charge here

The way Ed treats Stede is very post-s1 reunion AU where Stede is groveling nonstop and Ed is like “fuck you, you can stay on my ship, but we aren’t friends”

They have tender moments but then Ed is like “get fucked, that’s my cat food” and Stede is like “ok I deserve this 😔”

I am unwell

This should be captioned Izzy Paws

Izzy “these twats are exhausting” Hands

Stede “Permanent Bitchface Glamour Shots” Bonnet

A black cat who was interrupted while grooming so his legs are out in all different directions

Edward Teach, born in [redacted] Beach

A ginger tabby and black cat curled up in an outdoor chair. The tabby is the big spoon.

What you can’t see in this photo is that Izzy was curled up on the ground between the bucket with the bird food and the bucket with the cat food behind the chair

Also, the consistency of Stede being big spoon makes my heart explode

An orange tabby laying with his head on a black cat’s butt, with a Siamese tabby laying in the background

Quietly screaming in my driveway (also the rug that Stede often claims to lay on says “gayest place in town”)

A black cat, Siamese tabby, and ginger tabby napping on a stoop

I’m weak and I know shelters won’t take tipped cats, and I can’t split them up bc Izzy’s vision is bad and Izzy and Stede both are clearly most bonded with Ed (I swear I’m not projecting)

So I’m making peace that these are my boys and we’re going to make them a little shelter this week

Me: these are not going to become my cats

Also me: I need to enrich their environment and also I would die for them

🚨🚨 PHYSICAL CONTACT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH IZZY 🚨🚨

Ed has a sandspur stuck in his paw so we are about to go through a major test of his trust and patience directly after a very sweet and loving reunion 😬

Absolutely the vibe of this photo

Three cats by a blue car. The orange and white cat is sprawled on his side with the black cat curled along his belly. The Siamese tabby is to the right, yawning.

(Someday I will stop being obsessed with these cats but today is NOT THAT DAY)

A black car posing for the camera with little fangs poking out of his mouth

I do sometimes wonder if we should have named Ed Viago bc of his little fangs 🧛🏻‍♂️

“Where the fuck have you been”

A black cat splayed out with his limbs in all directions, grooming his tummy

An orange tabby giving the bitchiest look to the camera

A Siamese tabby sitting sideways on a chair mid-yawn

I feel like we could all use some bonus feral pirate kitty content this morning

Stede and Izzy continue to be skittish, while Ed has absolutely no shame

Stede was spotted in the yard last night with another orange boy - spouse suggested it was Ricky and I nearly died laughing

Ed is living up to his name as a master tactician bc this little fuck is irresistible and if the calico wouldn’t kill him he would be inside right now

OFMD S3 BTS Ed and Stede cuddling on a lazy Sunday NOT CLICKBAIT

(Someday the novelty of the feral pirate cats will wear off, but until then…)

An orange cat, black cat, and grey cat snuggling in leaves next to some outdoor furniture

PLEASE IGNORE THE STATE OF MY PATIO IN FAVOR OF LOOKING AT ED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STEDE AND IZZY SANDWICH (taken through a window, thus the glare and poor quality, but I am CRYING)

I disrupted morning cuddles

So apparently naming these two Ed and Izzy was appropriate (no Stede today - Ed must be in his kraken era)

“I have… love for you, Edward”

“Oh, come on”
