This is my cat Mr.orange, he’s the sweetest boy ever. Here are some facts about him
This is my husband and Is cat, her name is Cleo! We have had her since October 2025, she was a stray kitten. I brought her to the vet and told so many people that we have a calico cat! Until last night, I posted her on a calico community and someone commented that she is technically a calico but she is really a Tuxetorico!!! I never knew/realized what that was, my mind was blown lol. I was so excited and extremely intrigued. Last night I scrolled through this community with my husband and we were looking at everyone’s kitties, it’s cool to see how they share the same traits. Anybody else’s tuxetorico have big feet?🤣
This is my husbands and Is cat! She started showing up on our front porch late at night in October 2025. I told him that if I could catch her she was coming inside (regardless if we keep her or not) for her own safety and to avoid her getting pregnant. She approached me one night while I sat on the ground with a full plate of dry and wet cat food. I was able to pick her up, bring her inside and we have never looked back! We originally didn't plan on keeping her as we already had 4 cats. I wanted to keep her so she could be my cat but, once she met my husband she adored him and vise versa and she became his cat lol. We got her spayed (she wasn't pregnant, it was a HUGE relief), vaccinated, dewormed and continued to quarantine her from our other cats for quite some time and then she met everyone. She is the sweetest ‘little’ lady and a HUGE cuddle bug. We think she was born in July 2025, I'm so glad we kept her. 🖤🧡🤍
Marshmallow is officially down 3 pounds! He has been since March! I’m so proud of him🩷. Back in January 2026he had some health issues, his vet said he needed to lose weight so we put him on a completely different diet and it was a life saver, literally. From 17# to 14#, what a guy. Now that he has lost weight he runs around the house and parkours on our couch, cat trees, the bed, the kitchen counters, the other cats lol, he’s a crazy guy. I’m very happy he’s healthy again💛
This is my cat Stinky, she is the most amazing cat ever🩷. When I first met her, I hated cats. I had a very special cat to me as a child, Mouse. When Mouse passed away I thought I could never love another cat. Stinky came along and her and I became inseparable!! Stinky loves being outside and going for adventures. She can ring a bell for treats, sit on command, loves car rides, really loves vanilla ice cream, love 5guys milkshakes and burgers. She’s a HUGE cuddle bug!! Pink and purples matched her so well, they’re her colors lol. Her real name is actually Taylor but, one day she took the most God awful poop that smelled up the whole house and that day stinky was born and never looked back🤣. She has this mocha spot on her forehead and when I’m bored with her laying on me I’ll sometimes spread her fur and make it ‘bigger’🤣. She accumulated many nicknames over the past few years, Tay-Tay, Misses Bean, Stinky, Stinky Girl, Stink-Stonk, Wink-Wonk, Winky, Big Truck. My husband and I used to sing the song “Electric Avenue” by Teddy Grant but everytime he sings “We going to rock you to the Electric Avenue” we would replace “electric” with “Stinky”. Everytime I hear the song I think of my sweet girl. She passed away July 2025, I wish with her to the very end. I think about her every single day. I wanted to talk to people about her as if she never died, that’s why I mentioned it at the very end but the reality of it is she is gone. A piece of me went with her that day and it’s never coming back.
Momo (real name Mr.Orange) and his favorite toy, bug!
I finally made some cinnamon roll cheesecake today! It's got a brown butter graham cracker crust, Cheesecake with Cinnamon Roll filling sprinkled in and topped with a creamy brown sugar cold brew sauce! It was a huge success!! I originally wanted the sauce to be a frosting but, I was making the recipe up as I went and it and it's more of a sauce so I can't pipe it. I could add butter & powdered sugar to it but it would make it to sweet.
So I want feedback and I want help brainstorming. I am writing my own recipe for a cinnamon roll swirl cheesecake! Without giving away my recipe and to give you an idea, my plan is to literally take the flavor profile of a cinnamon roll and incorporate that into a cheesecake. There will be no bread/dough in the cheesecake. I really want the cheesecake to have a topping on it. To give you an idea I attached a picture of what I want it to look like (this is NOT my cheesecake or picture, I found it in on Instagram) this way it has the “appearance” of a cinnamon roll not just the taste. I’m trying to keep in mind that I don’t want the topping to be crazy sweet so, I would have to play around with measurements with each ingredient. I want the flavors to flow really nice. I have a few flavor combos that I want to try and I want people’s options on them:
Is there one I should try first? Which one do you think would pair best with the cheesecake? Anything you would change (in general)? Should I even do a topping? Do you think if I add a topping it might become “too much”.
So I need to pick people’s brain about this. I really want to create a Concord grape cake recipe. Last October (2025) I made Concord grape pie filling (recipe attached) and froze it to use throughout the year. Now I’m wondering if I can thaw it and turn it into a powder. I’m not too sure if dehydrating it will turn it into something I can turn into a powder or if it will become leather like because of the sugar content. I think freeze drying it would work, but, I do not own a freeze dry machine. Any thoughts on how I could get the Concorde grape pie filling into a powder to use for a cake recipe?
