Introducing Tuxie to #CatsOfBluesky smdh He's got Visitor status, just like NotFreya Next step: find him a Human

A mostly black cat with some white around his nose and prominent white whiskers, resting on a cushion in a cube shaped cat bed in a Catio structure

Tuxie is a stray street cat that's been around for about 2 years, who is increasingly hanging out in the Catio attached to our townhouse

As I cannot afford to indoor him, I will look around for any neighbors who might be interested in taming and caring for a half feral intact male street cat

::laughing maniacally in I Always Hope To Be Proven Wrong:: It's good advice, especially if it's a person's *identity* vs a preparedness tactic Mom once laughed at me for buying 10 cases of bottled water She stopped laughing 3 weeks later Tactics can be reasoned with; people ... not so much

Fortunately, I had just pulled the last handful out, because whatever crumbs left over are now dust under a 20 lb cat (Yes, I eat dry cereal by the handful for breakfast, I can't stand milk and at least the stuff is fortified with vitamins) #CatsOfBluesky

Here is Vincent, my formally feral street cat, who used to panic if locked inside, finally embracing indoor life & the abundance of fuzzy blankets He still hangs out on the catio, but now voluntarily puts himself to bed INSIDE my bedroom every night for the past month 🥹 That only took 6 years!😂
