Just had a meeting with my film agents and managers. Good stuff is bubbling and boiling.

Periwinkle was sleeping, but Neptune attended and gave his input by making sure everyone saw his ass three times.

A meditation 🧘🏾‍♀️: One minute and five seconds of kah-kah-kah (there was a woodpecker outside) with Periwinkle and Neptune.

When you put a blanket down for a cat and the cat immediately climbs in and gets comfortable there, it feels sooooo validating. You just feel like, for once, you did something correctly, 😊.

[Periwinkle Chukwu the Cat @PeriwinkleChuk1]

@Nnedi It comfortable here. 🐾

[Nnedi Okorafor, PhD🕷️ @Nnedi]

MOVE, Periwinkle! I’ve got work to do! 😆

He’s been sitting here for ten minutes.

Happy Book Birthday to THE SPACE CAT! 🥹

I’m going to keep a copy beside my bed. It’s perfect to read right before I go to bed. The colors, the fun, non-humans being non-humans, outer space, nonsense at home, so good for dreams. Read it with your pets.

Heh, cats and owls in Nigeria, 🤭🇳🇬🐱🦉.

Got my author copies of THE SPACE CAT graphic novel! It’s is scheduled for release August 12 from First Second Books.

It’s gorgeous, chunky and solid. What a year it’s been.

Cozy catfuturist comics. 🌌🐱

Cat on my lap, cat on my desk.
Trying to obstruct my view.
Staring into my soul.
And STILL I will get writing done. ✍🏾

[Periwinkle Chukwu the Cat @PeriwinkleChuk1]

@Nnedi @NeptuneOnyedike Cat is great. 🐾

[Nnedi Okorafor, PhD🕷️ @Nnedi]

🤣 Cats are so weird. #Caturday

[Nnedi Okorafor, PhD🕷️ @Nnedi]

Here's the cover for our forthcoming graphic novel, THE SPACE CAT (from First Second Books, due out August 12, 2025).

This is a book for ALL AGES (IGNORE the other labels). It's a book you can read with and to your cat or dog...& parrots, owls and chameleons will enjoy it, too.

@Nnedi @NeptuneOnyedike He seem more balance, but I always suspect. 🐾

[Nnedi Okorafor, PhD🕷️ @Nnedi]

My ex-boyfriend stopped by. He does not like cats, yet Neptune won him over. Look at this, 😁.

Periwinkle, who has detested him in the past (would leave the room whenever he came by), actually played with him.

What is happening? 🤨 I’m a bit annoyed, lol.

[Nnedi Okorafor, PhD🕷️ @Nnedi]

Periwinkle and me. 😊
The Space Cat and the Writer.

@NeptuneOnyedike Sometimes human need cat to tell them what good.
