Brownie brothers: 200% chocolate. May contain traces of fluff 🍫🍫⁣ ⁣ Lately Kafka and Anakin have been closer than ever. Ani seems to have outgrown the crazy kitten phase and they both enjoy to just hang out together all day. I love how everything they do is super synchronized. They really take after one another 💛⁣ ⁣ Swipe to see how they spend most of their time together ➡️

So good of you to come. Take a seat. Tell me all about your problems 🧐 In return I’ll purr and maybe scratch your legs because your shoelaces are so distracting.⁣ ⁣ —⁣ Cats make the best therapists, don’t you think? 🛋⁣ ⁣ Sorry for the long gaps between posting 😬

Are you sure you want to finish that bag of crisps? 🤨

Happy 1st gotcha day Anakin! 🎉⁣ ⁣ It’s been one whole year since you made our little family complete. You changed Kafka’s and my life for the better 💛 Here are 10 videos from your first week at your forever home 🏡 We love you so so much little Ani Penny! . (Okay this makes me cry a little 🙈)

If our humans say they are our pawrents, does that mean us house cats are kids who are always grounded? 🤯⁣ ⁣ —⁣ Do you refer to yourself as your cats’ parent or to them as your children? ⁣ ⁣ The concept of “meowmies” and “pawpas”, was new to me when I first started Instagram. It took some getting used to. I would never call myself the cats’ “owner”, but even though they’re as important to me as my children would be, I find it hard to call myself their mom. I did tell my dad, who desperately wants grandchildren, that he should just focus on the grandchildren he has: Kafka and Ani 😉 . P.s. Not saying there’s anything wrong with calling yourself your cat’s mom/dad!

Curiosity is a virtue ✨⁣ ⁣ Happy Throwback Thursday. Back when Anakin didn’t have his chubby cheeks yet, he already had those curious eyes.

Me: “Look, birds! 🤤”⁣ Me (on a date): “Ah! A warm-blooded vertebrate distinguished by having the body more or less completely covered with feathers and the forelimbs modified as wings. 🧐”⁣ ⁣ —⁣ Kafka loves to sit on our roof patio like a French girl to lure the birds in 🐦 Do your cats have an outdoor space?

“I eat and I know things.” 🦁⁣ ⁣ We can’t believe Game of Thrones is over! ⚜️ What house would your cats be in? ⚜️⁣ ⁣ Ani definitely has the Lannister look. Kafka would be Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. His name even means jackdaw, a type of crow, in Czech! 🐦

Brown fluff, yellow eyes, master mind 🧠⁣ ⁣ —⁣ Hi everyone! Well, that “short” break lasted a little longer than I announced. For the past 1,5 years, ever since I adopted Kafka, I posted on Instagram daily. I was very proud of myself, because before that moment I never managed to do anything daily in my life. I’m a chaotic person and my life has never been very structured. I was happy that sharing Kafka and Anakin’s lives, and my photography and writing, not only came with so many sweet followers, but also offered some very welcome structure to my life. I’ve always felt like I lacked perseverance. I am very creative and started many projects throughout my life, but for every finished project there are always many more unfinished ones.⁣ ⁣ However, over the past months Instagram started to feel like a chore. The thing I had to check off my list, before I could go on with the things I needed or wanted to do. I spent way too much time editing photos (by my own fault, because I set high standards towards myself) and writing captions (getting stuck, because I couldn’t think of anything funny or insightful). I ended up posting late in the evening and spending ages commenting on other posts, because I would feel guilty for not keeping up with my followers and friends here. But all this time on Instagram took away from the time I could’ve spend on quality time with my boys, meeting with friends and my recovery. In other words, lately social media actually made me less social in real life.⁣ ⁣ I think many here feel some sort of pressure to “perform”, to post good content and to engage. Taking the pressure of posting daily off helped for while. However, I didn’t know how to get back to Instagram again. Like I needed something good to show. But I don’t. So here’s a repost of Kafka. I need to rethink the way I spend time on here, but quitting altogether or not posting structurally isn’t going to make me happy either. Because I miss you guys and I miss posting about Kafka and Ani. I just need to lower the standards I set myself (in terms of content) and take the pressure off.
