cat photos – Pain In The Bud

Wordless Wednesday: Buddy The Cosmic Tiger

Cheesy Photoshops glorifying my egotistical feline overlord are fun!

Since hopping off the AI image bandwagon I’ve rediscovered the joys of crappy Photoshops and playing with typesetting. I took the photo yesterday and thought Bud looked pretty regal and majestic.

Here is Buddy transformed to Cosmic Tiger Buddy in all his glory with his name rendered in classic wildstyle, like something you might see on the L in the 90s Bronx…if someone were corny enough to choose Buddy as their tag.

(*) The second typeset is a modified font called Knotted Center, which may not score many points for legibility, but looks pretty cool in the proper context. The third typeset is a font called TrashBrutal.

Wordless Wednesday: The Adorable Tyrant And Emotional Support Buddy

After a gut punch of a week, I’m once again reminded of how fortunate I am to have the Budster.

Taken early Friday evening. No filters or meowscles added. Just Buddy laying back in my his chair:

A close-up of a gray cat with striking green eyes, resting against a soft surface and looking playfully at the camera.

The little dude has been here for me during a seriously weird and messed up time, once again reminding me how lucky I am to have him.

Wordless Wednesday: Just Bud

It’s little Buddy! What more could you possibly want?

I took this photo on Monday, capturing Bud in the moments between him screeching at me, I believe for snacks. Although it could have been a demand for me to sit on the couch so he can then sit on me. I forget.

There is a practical side to taking random photos like this, which is that it’s easier to really look at nonverbal indicators of health and mood. In this photo his ears are up and relaxed, his whiskers are relaxed, and he’s chill. Aside from making loud and insistent demands of me, that is. Anyway, here he is in all his 12-year-old glory:

Wordless Wednesday: Derpy Cat!

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the most silly looking of them all?

Look at all that fur! Bud could almost pass as a long haired cat if you only saw him laying down like this.

With our first 90-plus-degree days yesterday and today here in New York, a lot of that fur is going to end up on the floor, the couch and my bed if I don’t sneak in some brief brushing sessions when I can:

In other news, I’m very excited to share that PITB t-shirts will be available very soon!

I received t-shirts of two of the print designs and they look great. The plan is to begin with four designs and expand from there. Here’s a photo of one of the launch designs, the Budsden flag:
