Me: I’m going to ease back into reality, matbe lounge, maybe take a long bath, maybe read a lil Refuge Revov... Lily: NOPE. YOU LEFT US FOR FIVE DAYS. Me: please move. Off. Get off the book. Lily: LOOK AT ME. I WASTED AWAY WHILE YOU WERE GONE. Me: Lily, get off my book. Lily: NAH DOG. Nope, no, not gonna happen. Clancy: *squints* You left? Me: Seriously? You didn’t notice? Clancy: Huh. Turn that heating blanket back on and we’re good. Me: Done. Lily, please move. Lily to Clancy: I can’t wait for her to find the puke we’ve hidden as a special treat for sometime later. #finallyhome #catsofinstagram #clancyfancypants #lilycat #kittenkastlesesttle #rebelsaintsretreat #integration #silentretreat #refugerecoveryseattle (at Kittenkastleseattle)

Clancy passed away peacefully in my arms today, surrounded by so much love and after only a few days of fighting and pain. I’m devastated but hanging in there. She was a teeny thing—the runt of the litter—topping out at 6.5 pounds and slimming down in these past golden years. I got her in Muncie in August 2001 when her mother (Shalon, 2000-2018) was living in an abandoned garage next to my apartment. After seeing my landlord abuse them, I took them in. Fast forward 13 moves across 3 states (including an interstate road trip) and nearly 20 years, Clancy’s age suddenly caught up with her. She will forever be my sweet baby girl, my little baby cat, my one and only Miss Clancyfancypants. I shall miss her split tan and grey nose, her freckles pink ears, her beautiful little muzzle, her stripey tail, and her outstretched paws as she slept on her heaty pad and in her hidey hole. She’ll forever remain in my heart. Please give your fur babies a squeeze and a skritch from me. No matter their age, it’s always too soon. I’m so grateful for the understanding and kindness of the staff at Madison Street Animal Hospital for their gentleness in her final days and over the years. #clancyfancypants #babycat #catsofinstagram #oldladycats (at Madison Street Animal Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vq2N2FkYW4NsRO984dahPZ5W0Ac6N4_f4N_E0/?igshid=1m5x2a2cdan4v

#cats and #hibrowlowbrow First, Lily and Clancy are both happy the sun is here, tho Clancy is still unsure about this vest. (Tho shes adorbs in it!) And I “went” on a #quarantinedate with @jforstie. I had us get dressed all fancy for Thai takeout—so we didn’t have to cook OR clean for a whole meal! And a change of scenery from sweats and leggings and hoodies. PS Remind me I can’t buy sequined dresses. So scratchy! What are you doing to break up the monotony? #clancyfancypants #lilycat #meltedmarshmallow (at Capitol Hill (Seattle)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_MR3ClF0v7AYZT1oQ7ELEgc91tZWtrRWVB0ek0/?igshid=6x5nek79x3yj

She flopped over the first a time I put her in it so I’m working her up to wearing it all night. #clancyfancypants #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_HPCVfFOPfkuUFKb5q6bUOIQm-PrhkOK3ERuw0/?igshid=13ekhkx6gprq1

Kitten snuggles for anti-social old lady kitties who totally know something’s up. Also this grey blanket is magic and it gets Clancy to sit on my lap. She stayed for maybe half an hour. MIRACLES HAPPEN. It obvs just takes 19 years of patience. #catsofinstagram #clancyfancypants #lilycat #meltedmarshmallow #snugglebuddies (at Capitol Hill, Seattle 98102) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jJYwuj574rJIFakOAdQWKmIKPwP6HWgjKWzQ0/?igshid=1822528xj1hrb

I’ve been holed up in Seattle for a bit now...8 days? Which means working from home, stress baking, and LOTS of kitty pics. Miss Clancy and Miss Lily are confused why I’m here so much but happy I have a warm lap to snuggle on and pets to give. They’re still getting used to the new place (as am I). Expect more baking pics and kitten pics until COVID-19’s social distancing winds down. #WFH2020 #clancyfancypants #lilycat #meltedmarshmallow (at Capitol Hill, Seattle 98102) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qexzPFZPOXOZwVjc12A3nXbokRCaLwbV68yM0/?igshid=1ou7ic6yu96sb

Today was my second trip to the vet in two weeks. 🤑😵 Miss Clancy Fancy Pants has an ear infection, but it should clear up soon. And I stress baked zucchini chocolate chip bread and zucchini fritters. Not my best work but a decent first try...except I forgot one ingredient...and forgot to squeeze out the water from the zucchinis.... oof. Next time? #clancyfancypants #catsofinstagram #oldladycat #littlebit https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NxafTghGg8agbTK6Zr2kJmG7galxPdgkslGg0/?igshid=gdqd5w3q7932
