Mom of cats. I post pictures of my two tabby sisters. Writer, teacher, photographer. Pro education and science. LGBTQ+ ally. Blue dot in a red state. No DMs, please!
I need to report a broken 9-month-old kitten! She sleeps in the weirdest positions possible. Her legs are so long she doesn't know what to do with them. The scratch on her nose is from her pushing herself out of my arms in the dark and hitting the edge of a wooden bench. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky
Lily felt the same way when we tried to keep her separated during the transition to our house. She had no trouble getting over this barrier. We kept adding cardboard, but we finally gave up.
Our local one was pretty much a bummer, too. According to Google weather, this was "partly sunny" with no rain. We stood in the middle of a tent trying not to get drenched, waited for a small break in the rain intensity and then left.
Sweet picture, Dexter! Lily agrees that it is much too hot to do much except relax and let things cool off!
This is Lily's brother Vinnie (in front) with their mom Rei. I absolutely love that Vinnie has the exact same white facial marking as Rei. He is getting so big already! The kittens are almost 7 months old. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky
Here is a new Lily photo of her "helping" to make the bed. She was spayed a week ago, and within two days was back to full speed. She will be 7 months old next week. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky
This is Lily's sister Inky (at right), snoozing with Otis, my daughter's first cat. They are not related at all, but look remarkably alike! Otis is a big kitty, but did great with accepting the kittens and their mom.
Kitten update: We've had Lily now for almost 3 months, and it has been a challenging time. Despite a slow introduction with our older two kitties, it was a pretty rough adjustment. We didn't give up, and we have made some progress. This is the closest to a snuggle so far!
There was a wedding taking place in the piazza when we were there. It was wonderful to see the melding of so many people together.
Read the last paragraph of the article about Mullin having "the opportunity" to "save" the agency. That isn't going to happen.
This sweet little one is joining our crew tomorrow! Her name is Lily, and if she can win over big boy Otis, I think she will have no problem with our two. Otis is my daughter's original rescue, and they are not related but look like they could be! #Caturday #CatsofBluesky
This is a full picture of his pathetic little rally in Iowa. They set up risers only behind him to make it look like a full stadium - and to appease his ego. The media are not reporting reality, including a huge number of protesters outside.
Timeline cleanse update: another adorable kitten puddle. Five kittens - count the heads! It makes me wish they could stay together forever. The one at the bottom right is the one we are planning to take home. #CatsofBluesky
We have never had more than two cats before, so it will be a change. Our 6-yr-old sisters are not at all on board yet. The little one has been by for two short visits so far.
Timeline cleanse: this adorable pile of 2-month-old kittens! The two girls are on the left, and the three boys are on the right. We are planning to take the second girl (grey and white tabby.) She is sweet and incredibly spunky! #CatsofBluesky
This is the one my daughter wants me to take home - one of the two girls. (That is momma cat In the background.)
Thanks. I was curious because my daughter and SIL took in a cat that had 5 kittens a week later! They are 6 weeks old now.
Gia is the Christmas decoration supervisor at our house. Nothing happens without her approval.
You don't want to step all the way to the top of the ladder for safety. It is better to have part of the ladder to hold or lean against. We have 9 ft. ceilings, and I have a Gorilla 3-step ladder with a built-in utility shelf, which works for me for most things. It is easy to move around and store.
It is amazing to see how much the kittens have grown in three weeks. The first pic is at one day old, and the second is at 3 weeks. They are getting used to being held now. #CatsofBluesky
Momma Reishi is doing much better and is gaining some weight now. My daughter and SIL learned that she was likely already pregnant again when his co-worker took her in briefly. She was injured and bleeding on her face and paw, but stayed away, so they put out food and water for her. #CatsofBluesky
Update on the kittens: they are 3 weeks old now and doing well. They are becoming more curious and adventurous every day. #CatsofBluesky
Our pup used to search for rabbit pellets in the yard. She thought they were special treats. She once showed up at our patio door on a rainy day with rabbit poo on her nose!
