Anti-fascist curmudgeon: likes cats, Austen, mysteries, SF, history, recovery, d&d, earthquakes, volcanoes, art. She/her. ND. Mostly harmless. Owned by Saul the house panther. I block unkind people w/o compunction. Married.
True, but if I had one Stuck in my WHISKERS, my lovely and extremely dignified WHISKERS, I would be very unhappy if my family didn't get it OUT.
I don't actually have pictures of the Paw because I just get up and obey it. But here is a picture of just before the Lifting and also a picture of a cat whose Commands have been Ignored.
My cat takesfraud more seriously than the current President of the United States does.
Have as Happy a 4th of July as you can. Liberty and justice for ALL (not just for property-owning white Christian men) is still a pretty good idea. So I made cheesecake. (PS The evening entertainment will be, as traditional, comforting the cat during the fireworks.
Yup, if you look at Watch Duty (an excellent app) the fires are pretty dreadful this year.
So, cat worship is OK? Good, because Saul thinks that he needs worshipping.
Most days mallard pairs come spend the day in our swimming pool, lazing and sunning and feeling safe because of the high walls. (We don't feed them because we don't want duckling, because duck poop.) Our pair split up this year & now, for Pride month, we have lesbian ducks! They are so cute!
My dad died in 1995. And I still think of him every day. Sometimes it is just completely unacceptable to me that he is dead.
My second favorite feline had big feels today, eh? Well, sometimes you don't have the brain molecule and you do have the Zooms. Enjoy it. Saul is an old cat now and when he zooms it is because his butt hurts and he is trying to run away from it.
A worthy task. Saul is holding down the Ottoman, in case anybody needs it.
If you are making your cat happy, you are fulfilling your purpose in life for today. Have fun!
For about 3 weeks we have had duck visitors who come almost every day to swim in our pool and then nap safely on the side. Today our elderly cat finally noticed them. Saul is not pro-duck.
We have had (for about 3 weeks) commuter ducks who use our pool as a spa and nap spot, sometimes for 4 or 5 hours at a time. Yesterday my husband told the gardener to skip the back yard this week because the ducks had just begun their nap.
Saul does not feel round. The evening meal is at least two minutes late and he feels irritable.
Saul would like you to know that he rules the house and that all is well in hos domain today.
A neighbor across the street posted a huge banner supporting that reality show idiot for mayor of LA. So I got out my Black Lives Matter banner.
I think it is Pay More Attention To Your Cat Day too. Saul has been insistent all morning, and the basilisk stare is wearing me down.
I am sorry. This is a hard world, and blanket forts, cats, antidepressants, and treats are all important. My posse always reminds me that sometimes there have been good days and there will be again. I would loan you my foot cat if I could.
Yeah, Pope Leo's a baseball guy. Rubio's a war guy. But the Pope was trying to deliver a message. Rubio's staff just didn't do the research & thought the Pontiff was a Bears fan instead of a White Sox fan. I could have given the pope a more approptiate gift.
And I bet it helped. My cats have never cured my depression--it is a disorder in my brain chemistry. But a cat on my feet sure has made it easier to manage depression.
Yes, our Saul is very clear about Non-Consensual Touching, particularly of the Belly. But it is so tempting!
