#catboss jackie

I tried posting this and more photos yesterday, but you know how tumblr hates to work properly.

Jackie, the cat that taught me to like cats, left this planet last night.

However, I'm sure he will still be haunting the porch intimidating dogs on the sidewalk and hoping to get pets from delivery drivers and customers picking up their orders.

We are very sad, but we knew this was coming with the progression of his kidney disease. Jackie has had a long and wonderful existence and has touched the lives of so many of our friends, housemates, and houseguests over the years. He's appeared in numerous zines and shared porch chats with many folks who have visited from all over the world.

He's been our #catboss since moving the shop back into the house during the pandemic and I'm so happy to have had these years working from home to spend more of it with him, even if he kept stealing my chair.

If you had the pleasure of meeting this handsome and distinguished creature, you were lucky.

Aww, catboss 💜 My cat is a big fan of paper too. I’ll give him something crinkly and some ear scratches for Jackie Cat

@upthewitchypunx Working on a grimoire page and looking for a good sticker to put in the corner. I think this one will do nicely. 💜

1" button parts arrived today! We blew through 2,000 buttons and I packed 60+ orders, dropped everything off at the post office, and got beer and Taco Bell.

This postal witch is exhausted.

Here's a picture of #catboss Jackie inspecting most of our packages that went out today.

Time for a shower beer.

I think I'm going to put a jar on the porch with cat snacks in it so when people come to pick up their orders they can feed catboss Jackie some snacks. Jacke would like that.

I missed Jackie cat. Even though he work me up 5am because he wanted pets and also new water in his water cup I filled 6 hours earlier. He probably wanted to know where Paul was. Then he curled up next to me and went back to sleep. Now he's just hanging out in the office like a #catboss #catsofinstagram #tuxedocat — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3mpc8dk

Just some shots of CatBoss Jackie hanging out in the shop and also on the porch, and also with some things on his head.
