I got my first needle minders! Can't believe I've been cross stitching for a year without them.

hi i made these :) and luckily there have been some very cute models
bandana / matching patch set
Sometimes I'm just amazed by how utterly adorable my kitties are. Like here I sat down on the couch real quick in the morning before I had to leave. I don't sit down on the couch very often without putting up my feet unless I'm eating. So the cats are always a bit confused when I just sit down for a moment. Add in some sun and they are more or less debating whether they want pets more then they want to lie in the sun. (I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE BEANS WITH THOSE CLAWS JUST POKING BARELY OUT)
To make them even more adorable, Indy brought over one of their toys first. Which he proceeded to play with right next to where Storm had been sitting, trying to make a decision. (Storm did at one point try to take said toy, but I missed that excellent picture.)
But it wasnt enough to just get to watch these two babies.
Indy had to then go and FALL ASLEEP. Like he was a kitten again instead of a chubby 3 year old. Just straight up dozes off in the sun with the toy still at his paws.
Suffice to say, if my plethora of cat pictures and name wasnt enough, I love my cats. They are sweet babies who are sometimes terrors on my soul but I adore them so damn much. Sometimes I just sit and stare at them because it amazes me floofers that cute exist and I can just walk up and hug them whenever I want.
Then again, I'm pretty sure Indy is possessed and is still plotting my demise for not letting him eat 24/7.
"You've cuddle for the last time, Storm!"
"No, please, it doesn't have to be like this!"
Wherein Indy looks murderous with his paws on Storm's throat.
I will never stop being confused by the faces I get when I walk into rooms. Indy(top) always looks like he's trying to look nonchalant and as though he wasn't just trying to murder Storm. Storm (below) always looks like he's slowly begging me for help. I never help other then by giving them both pets for being adorable and cuddling. If that is what they were doing.
Me deciding what magic system I want: Hmmm something with power that infuses them either based on evilness or leading to evilness.
Reason I want that specific magic system: Want story where people think this important person is evil, but it was their cat murdering people all along
While I was looking for horse photos, I came across this menacing cat and its victim. Cat photos are the number one internet cliche, but it made me laugh so much that I decided to share it.

My cat has just been staring off into the distance for the past five minutes. Its actually starting to freak me out a bit. I think he is plotting to murder me.
