betsy cooley — Riley the first day I met her....

Chloe is puzzled and perhaps a little concerned as I explain that I posted a photo of her sister Riley recently followed with her baby picture and now I was doing the same for Chloe.

Yesterday, Riley was sleeping and heard me talking to her sister Chloe. I turned around and she was almost hanging over the edge of the cat tower intently paying attention. (She had relaxed a bit by the time I got the photo.)

Here's Chloe at five weeks old. She's being held by the woman who fostered Chloe and Riley's litter. Had to wait another month to adopt them which seemed like forever. They were born a month after the pandemic shelter in place started. 🐈  📷  #Tortie + Calico Cats, #Cats of BSKY, #Cats, #Cats!

Riley is thinking. She looks very serious. I think she might be contemplating a long nap and is just easing her way into it.

Riley, a Calico kitty with black, camel and white fur, is just waking up. She looks a little startled (or maybe annoyed that my presence disturbed her and interrupted her nap). 😸

Riley wishes everyone a Happy Caturday as she lounges on her favorite scratcher.

Two elderly, very loved, cats died in 2020. Because of Covid, the shelters were empty. I found photos of Riley and her littermate Chloe at a shelter, when they were 5 weeks old and with a foster family. I begged and pleaded and they let me adopt at 2 months. #Cats of BSKY, #Tortie + Calico cats

Thanks! I agree! Here she is with her sister Chloe. They are 3.5 years old now, but I'm attaching a photo from when they were 8 weeks old and still with their foster family. I first saw them at 5 weeks and had to wait until they were older, so they sent me photos and videos!

I. could. not. find. Chloe. anywhere!!! I looked and looked and she was nowhere to be found. Finally found her sound asleep (despite my repeated pleas for her to show herself) in a blue tunnel, blocked by a pillow. I had to push the pillow down to take photo. #Tortie & Calico Cats, #Cats!, #Cats.

Chloe in on of her favorite spots. If I spend too much time on the computer, she jumps on my lap to remind me there are other things in life (such as her and Riley) that are far more important.

Riley is restraining herself from jumping from the table to either my lap or the computer. You can see from the slight bend in her left ankle that she is poised to make her move.

Chloe at 3 months, posing very seriously for the first and only time I remember. Usually I have to hunt them down as soon as they see the phone or the camera. 😊 🐈 📷 #Tortie + Calico Cats, #Cats!, #Cats #Cats of BSKY

Chloe and Riley, two litter-mate sisters are taking a well-deserved nap! Some days, it is hard to see where one starts and the other ends because they look so much alike, but they do have very individual personalities. #Tortie & Calico Cats, #Cats, #Cats!, #Cats of BSKY.

Welcome, Minka! We've been on Bluesky since November and have been very happy here, we think you will also like it. We hope the other #CatsOfPost will also enjoy it here.

I was doing my taxes and Riley was being very helpful sorting my tax forms and other paperwork, but she became bored and decided to borrow my pen. She looks like she has plans to decorate this well-worn scratcher.

Riley in hiding in 3 Parts. Part 1, she peeks ever so briefly from a tunnel where she's been playing. Part 2, she is hidden under a comforter on the floor. I've been calling her and in Part 3, she briefly looks out. 🐈  📷  #Tortie + Calico Cats, #Cats of BSKY, #CatsofBlueSky, #Cats, #Cats!

Riley is considering whether or not to get up. You can tell from the look in her eyes that she's not all sure she's in the mood.

Trying again (deleted initial post in error). Riley has been hiding in a tunnel and then under a comforter. I barely got the photo of the one in the tunnel since she was moving quickly to avoid being found. She likes to hide. 🐈  📷  #Tortie + Calico Cats, #Cats of BSKY, #CatsofBlueSky, #Cats, #Cats!
