Sometimes when i take photos of my cats theyre just like
Then other times its like
Okay some backstory on this (and I just figured this out)
Mango, the calico, was hella close to my mom. Like, to the point where she mimiced my mom’s illness (e.g. my mom throws up, she’ll throw up not long after) and even started acting “motherly” to me (as much as she can anyway, mainly trying to comfort me when im upset) when she figured out my mom wasn’t coming home.
My mom passed back in November and, obviously, Mango missed her. I even saw that she had cried on some occasions.
Anyway that blanket in the last photo was the one that my mom used most of the time. Ever since i had washed it and started using another blanket, I noticed that Mango stopped laying on me as often. I found out why when i saw that an entire matt of her fur (shes old, fluffy, and sick so she sheds A LOT) was on the folded green blanket on the back of the couch. It’s the one she associated as my mom’s and shes been using it as her little perch so I decided to just let her have it as her own (also since my other cat claimed the little house i made for them)
I just found these photographs I took of a fallen tree on Alderley Edge, and I swear to god it looks like it’s about to move. Every time I visit this place my world becomes a little more pleasingly haunted - although I could live without someone summoning forth this creepy tarantula-tree hybrid.
