Do You Wanna Build a Snowcat?
So back to a simpler time, when cat wrangling was my major anxiety and hope, back to the last day of 2019 and the saga of Purrsimmon and the rocky introduction of little Shuri ( Read more... ) -
Missing Febobe
I'm missing our fierce, sweet, curious Kimbra aka febobe so much. I hate that I will never get to meet her as I was hoping and hug her tight, at the same time, I'm glad she is out of pain and also out of the dark times we're in and not having the multiple horrid worries about getting her lupus meds and other care under these ongoing pandemic ( Read more... ) -

Soooo, this happened . . .

I didn't think Moo would be happy with a new addition, being a competitive kitty who did not like competing for ( Read more... ) -
Oh, UK . . .
My deepest sympathies to my UK peeps on what seems to be going down with elections. I share your fears. Why so many awful people would rather go down with their ships than share them on both sides of the Atlantic--I dunno. I just don't know. Rest. Then fight some more and play when you can, because that's what we do no matter how many things ( Read more... ) -
Digging Shiva
