No art for now, since I had an "incident" while catching a panicky cat (to have her spayed. Not one of our cats this time!) The vet took one look at my bleeding and said "oh, that's me almost every day. Let's fix this." I'd say she did a pretty artsy job with the bandages, don't you think? 😆😅❤️

Mommy Ronda had an operation today. What we hoped was a simple spaying turned out to be removal of several tumors. And she was pregnant again! 😱 I have no idea how, since she gave birth to little Frika about 2.5 months ago, and was isolated since. 🤷‍♀️ #catRescue #catsOfBluesky #PetNeuter #ItNeverEnds

I bought them a brand new cat tree. Apparently the most interesting thing about it is a zip tie from the packaging 🙈 #cats #catRescue #kittycat #catsOfBluesky

"Please don't fart." 🤦‍♀️ #catsAreWeird #loveCats #catsOfBluesky

Here's some footage of me feeding some of the local street dogs earlier. When you buy #art from me, it helps my wife and I to provide regular food and assistance to many homeless animals that live in our town ~ #love #animals #dog #cat #cats #arts #artists #artforsale

I had the snuggliest of snuggly kittens all day today, which kind of made me forget I was *meant* to be promoting soap and pushing soap sales. Worth it. (Soap: veronicafoaleessentials.com.au/shop/)

Frika the freaky little kitty 🥰 Yes, yes, I know, this is becoming a "cat mom" account 🙈 I'll be back to creating/posting art soon 🙃 #catsOfBluesky #littleKitty #catMom #loveCats #rescuedCats #kitten

Good morning 😸 Little monster is up and running around now. I do admire her poor old mom's patience 🫣 #catsOfBlueSky #lifeWithCats #kittens #RescuedCats

Still busy with the new kitties 🙈 They are doing fine, BTW 🥰 But here's another one of my older #digitalart paintings from 2012. Morana, Slavic goddess of winter and death. (Inspired by a Slovenian folk metal song I had on repeat.. 😅) #art #morana #slavicMythology #darkArt

Happy kitties finally sleeping on a soft bed 🥰 Just look at momma's face! 😊 They still squeezed themselves in the darkest, tightest spot in my room at night, just to make sure they will be safe. That's a very experienced, very smart old mommy cat ❤️ #rescueCats #catsOfBluesky #kittens #catRescue

I DID IT!! 😁🥳🥳🥳 Finally, after 1 month, I managed to catch both the baby kitten and her momma 🥰 Momma has almost no teeth left and some heart problems 😢 So our cats no. 11 and 12, I guess 🤦‍♀️ Any donations for cat food and vets most welcome 🫣😅❤️ ko-fi.com/skratek #catsOfBluesky #catRescue

Arent they just the cutest 🥰 Making slow progress with abandoned momma cat and her little baby.. I hope I can get them to safety soon. And find them a good home. #caturday #rescueCats #kittyLove #catsOfBluesky

Flat cat 🤪😸 #kittycat #catsOfBluesky #catPoses

Someone abandoned a (very) pregnant kitty near the highway. 😥 She found refuge in an isolated warehouse and gave birth to this super cute little baby. I've been feeding them and trying to catch them for a month. This is the FIRST time the little baby came out and allowed me to take a photo ❤️ #cats

Went for a run/kickbike ride with Putka this Sunday. She was super excited - until we were hit by a shower, and then sun, wind, another shower, sun again.. all in the span of about 2 hours 🤦‍♀️ We still managed almost 15 km and I think she was pretty happy in the end. And very clean and washed 😅 #dogs

Good morming. Breakfast time at our house.. 🤦‍♀️ And some people ask me why I'm so thin. BTW, these two are not exactly best buddies. But its breakfast, sooo.... 🤷‍♀️ #goodMornig #catsAndDogs #breakfastWithPets

This leaf was so pretty I just had to snap a pic of it 🥰 Might use it as a reference later 😉🌳🌿 #trees #leaf #forestWalks

Kasper would like to wish everyone a #happyCaturday, but he's too tired right now.. 😅😽 #catLife #catsOfBluesky #loveCats #kittycat

Just some tree trunks. 🍁🌳 Practice makes.. my hand hurt? 🤔🤪 #WIP #practice #drawing #pens #B&W #traditionalArt

Found this plastic sandbox at a local garbage dump 😅 Now it's home to our little garden residents - froggies, toads, newts, dragonflies... 😁🐸🦟🦎🦋🌱 #garden #miniPond #frogs #gardenHelpers #critters #DIY #ReuseRecycle

How cool is that, now I need to look into it.. 😅❤️

This week the hedgehog feeding station has seen a lot of activity. I think it's time to refurbish the second station to give our guests a more relaxing eating experience. Less headbutting. more chompy-chompy. #spring #hedgehogs

Some easy ways I found to keep our place critter-friendly 😁🌱🦋🐝🐞 Also, easy access to water and high lookout places for dragonflies are a must 😉 And a comfy bench for me to enjoy it 😊 #garden #critters #pollinators #bees #littleGardenHelpers

"Fairybug" 😅 Another one of my older digital paintings (a series of "macro" style paintings). #fairies #bugs #digitalart #digitalpainting #macro #critters

Greetings, chordate comrades. #InverteFest is upon us. tl;dr: Over the last 7 days every April, August, and December, we invite you to show the internet your coolest bugs & slugs. Go find critters, post your art, write wikipedia pages, do whatever you like to celebrate invertebrates with us!

Ooo, apparently it's #InverteFest time! 😀 Never heard of it before, but I absolutely LOVE the idea (and all the little critters, of course!) 😍 Soo many pretty posts, photos, art.. 😊 Here's my little snail digital painting from a while back. #invertebrates #critters #digitalart #snail #lovenature

We have 10 cats, 1 dog and 1 horse ATM. But these two lovebirds are the most photogenic 😅 Little Josi has turned poor Kasper into her mommy 🫣 She is out of her jumper finally, her wounds seem to have healed now 🤞🏻🤞🏻 #catsOfBluesky #kittyLove #rescues #loveCats

Froogies, I love those little froggies.. 😆🥰 Another old digital painting of mine. Still some mistakes there, but I think at least the colors came out right 😜 This one was actually still made in Photoshop. I switched to Krita (and Linux) soon after that.

Another set of my handmade watercolor #bookmarks done! 😅 Watercolor, pen and a bit of gold/silver on the edges. Set of 2, in a lovely handmade gift packaging and free shipping 😊 www.etsy.com/shop/Skratek... #handmadeWithLove #EtsyShop #watercolor #art

Oh hello, hope you have a nice weekend! 😆 #kitty #cats #happycat #whitecats #catsOfBluesky

Somewhat related to my last post 😅 A tree/bush drawing practice. That was fun 😛 Made with #krita. #digitalart #art #painting #practice #trees #nature
