The many angles of our beautiful Ikea, being her fluffy silly self. She was windblown due to the fans in my room.

Ikea is the only one of my cats that has eyeliner. She has uneven liner but it still a stunner!

She is fuzzy and floofy all over, but also has such adorable ear floofs!

Ikea is such a fluffy baby! I love how soft and fluffy her tail and coat are!!

41, F, I have worn bone nose rings since having my nose pierced ~23 years ago. I have worn non-connected rings in the past but saw some really cute ones online and decided to order one.

I love it!

Plain, no filter, it’s hot and I wore a hat all day.

Ikea is enjoying a summer thunderstorm as she naps in a la croix flat.

I live in Iowa and I have a tiny back porch that seats two Adirondack rockers and a little table. Right now it’s not fully dark but the lighting bugs (fireflies) are out in abundance and my view is the best. I am so proud of myself for buying my own home at 36!

Ikea likes to sit and look out the window at birdies. She was sitting on some boxes that I needed to open with her little paws on the window sill so gentle and adorable! I love her so much!

IKEA’s floofy mane couldn’t be contained by the flat box she was sleeping in.

Ikea was too cute curled up next to me.

I went out to pick up the mail today at work and the clouds and blue sky, paired with a 76 degree F weather. This was a perfect day!

Close your eyes and imagine the world’s largest, most dense organism ever to exist. No, it’s not some extinct dinosaur or mysterious creature on the ocean floor. It’s actually the Pando Aspen Clone on the Fishlake National Forest.
Weighing in at 13 million pounds, the collective root system of these 40,000 aspen trees is believed to have been born from a single seed at the end of the last ice age (about 2.6 million years ago!)

I have three different types of tabby girls and I wondered if they would all be considered tabicos? Bianka is the large standard tabby, Opal is the small tortie tabby, and Ikea is the fluffy piebald tabby! I’d love to know!

Ikea yawning. I didn’t catch her bottom jaw but several of her tiny teefies have fallen out due to inbreeding 😿

Monday was eight years ago we brought home our Opal baby. The mom and kittens (4) were living outside an acreage of a coworker’s mom. We had already picked her out and planned to take her home but needed to get her immediately because some animal picked off two of them. We rescued her and I found out the next day the last kitten went missing. 😿😿😿 She came to us at ~7 weeks (her 8th birthday was April fools day). Now she’s still got that adorable face and looks like a baby to us. She is by far the smallest of my girls and she is a tortie tabby. We rescued all three so it’s fun to look back at kitten times. (Sorry for duplicate pics).

My piebald tabby Ikea is the only one of my three girls (my other girls are standard tabby and tortie tabby) who has a pink nose. She also has a pink belly and pink/black toe beans. Picture of her fur being blown by the double fans in my room- it makes her feisty and attack her tail. 😸😹

I feed our youngest cat in my room separately from the other two who are on w+u food. She always rolls around on my bed for about 15 mins before she eats. I have two fans on high because my A/C barely cools my upstairs room and it got up to 87 degrees F (felt like 92). When Ikea’s fur blows around she attacks her tail constantly. Now there’s fluffy kitty hair everywhere 😸

For some reason a smaller sized Amazon box has become the favorite box to all three of my girls. My biggest girl, Bianka went so far as to climb in and stand on top of tiny Opal. I grabbed a video but here are a few shots of Opal and Bianka in said box. Bonus of Ikea making sure she is in the photos too. 😹Our house feels like a musical chairs game except with boxes! They all love them- and we love our girls!
