When we adopted an 11 year old cat with 7 chronic illnesses, we thought ‘she doesn’t have long, let’s just spoil her rotten’

Turns out spoiling her rotten meant she lived another 8.5 years. She was with us until she was 19 and a half

Here’s a photo of her getting sashimi that I bought just for her.

I miss her every single day

Introducing Moopsy*, the little stray can that I have mentioned quite a bit over the past few months.

We're bunkered down getting our next Tiny Moments of Joy book to the printers today in between co-ordinating a writing festival, so I haven't left the house and am verging on turning into a giant profanity beast, BUT we have #spotted something out our kitchen window.

That thing is a very fluffy thing. A very moody fluffy thing that will only eat his breakfast if patted, but will otherwise try and eat anyone who dares walk up our garden path.

Except for my lovely partner Tony.

For some reason Moopsy loves Tony with the might of an exploding sun and regularly tries to give him all the love in his small, malevolent fluffy form.

In turn, Tony seems to view Moopsy as the smooshiest of fur beasts, insisting that he's really a softy and not out to steal our immortal souls.

First thing, every morning, Tony sits on our top garden step while drinking his coffee with Moopsy sitting on his lap, purring and acting like he's not a furry little psychopath.

The rest of the day, Moopsy lives in a cat nest in the winter-bare ivy on our garden fence like a fluffy, moody potato, ready to launch himself at any other cat (or human) who dares venture into his territory.

I think we may now have a cat.

*Moopsy is based on an adorable creature that drinks bones from Star Trek Lower Decks.

(More in alt text, as always.)

Short description, a fluffy black cat sitting amongst winter-bare ivy on a wooden fence. Long description: A fluffy black cat is looking at the camera with half narrowed green eyes. He's nested up with the air of a comfortable fence potato, or a nesting chicken, depending on your preference. His nest is a hodgepodge of scraggly branches from a winter bare ivy vines which dominate half my garden. Behind the cat are some green shoots of a cabbage tree that our neighbour has been unsuccessfully trying to murder for three years to no avail. In the far background, you get a glimpse of mountains, hills and greenery. If viewed in the right way, you could well imagine this small black cat being the guardian of those mountains, hills and greenery. He certainly has the fierceness of an ancient guardian. Oh and in the foreground you can see a bit of our open gate. Moopsy is nesting right next to this gate. It's the only way to reach our front door. This cat is effectively guarding our front door with the determination of Cerberus guarding the gates of hell. While looking at this picture, please also imagine my lovely partner Tony reminding me that Moopsy isn't a little hell fiend as I was insisting out loud, but that he is an adorable softy really who just needs more pats.

Coffee does solve problems! Window print on a cat cafe. Lots of cats doing cat stuff.

We had some bad weather today, so it was the perfect time for using family members as furniture.

A photo featuring two tabby cats on a desk. One is sitting beneath a window, staring out into a blustery afternoon, while the other is on a cat bed behind her, and is leaning up against the first cat's backside while staring into the camera. The first cat has some rectangular patches shaved into her fur.

Alt...

A photo looking down at two other tabby cats, who have identical coat patterns to the ones in the previous photo. These two are on their sides on a grey blanket, perpendicular to each other. One of the cats is using the other cat's belly as a pillow with an arm stretched over the other cat's shoulder.

I don't know what Puffin was upset about, but she was in a MOOD

We interrupt your Whiskers Wednesday coverage to bring you Waffles at the vet yesterday. He gets to wear that bee costume for the next week or two to help keep his continuous glucose monitor on! (He is a bit murderous about that)

Rote Katze in der grünen Wiese ist ein Acrylgemälde im Hochformat handgemalt von der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar. Eine rot-orange getigerte Katze sitzt friedlich auf einer üppig grünen Wiese und blickt in einen klaren blauen Himmel. Die ruhige Umgebung wird durch kleine rote Blumen, die im Gras verstreut sind, hervorgehoben.

Random cat/kitty question for someone who knows and understand their behavior -- particularly, movement across terrain.

In crossing an open field at night, does a cat go through the middle of the field on a pre-existing animal/human track, does the cat go through the center but not on the track, does it sneak around the edges of the field, or does it prefer instead to sneak through the shrubs/trees on the edge of the field?

(trying to figure out the best arrangement for a game camera to catch a photo of a kitty cat that has been around our neighborhood).

Thanks!

King5: More cats remain stranded on abandoned boat, after over 30 rescued near Tacoma beach

Tacoma officers, aided by Animal Control and Forensics, rescued over 30 frightened and malnourished cats from an abandoned boat near Owen Beach.

"...Marine Service officers with the Tacoma Police Department responded to reports of an abandoned boat off of the beach on Thursday and found more than 30 cats and kittens inside, the department said...."

Poem for the occasional (composed by me)

Forty cats were sailing the seven seas
The wind was fierce, so were the fleas
Wandering around on a sailboat then
Who know where they set sail from or when

Drifted into Tacoma one day
Someone called the police they say
For hungry mewing and meowing you could hear
From the beach and the shore very near

Alas the kitties and kittens were rescued by boat
The sailboat at least it continued to float
The cats had to abandon their around the world sail
For their venture, it appears, was destined to fail

Twa Cats anes on a Cheese did light,
To which baith had an equal Right,
But Disputes, sic as aft arise,
Fell out at sharing of the Prize…

digitised by the National Library of Scotland

The twa Cats and the Cheese Fable IX by Allan Ramsay Twa Cats anes on a Cheese did light, To which baith had an equal Right, But Disputes, sic as aft arise, Fell out at sharing of the Prize; Fair Play said ane, Ye bite o’er thick Thae Teeth of yours gang wonder quick: Let’s part it, else lang or the Moon Be chang’d, the Kebuck will be done.

Alt...

But wha’s to do’t,—They’re Parties baith, And ane may do the other Skaith, Sae with Consent away they trudge, And laid the Cheese before a Judge, A Monkey with a campsho Face, Clerk to a Justice of the Peace, A Judge he seem’d in Justice skill’d, When he his Master’s Chair fill’d; Now Umpire chosen for Division, Baith sware to stand by his Decision. Demure he looks.—The Cheese he pales,— He prives it good,—Ca’s for the Scales, His Knife whops throw’t,—In twa it fell, He puts ilk Haff in either Shell; Said he, We’ll truly weigh the Case, And strickest Justice shall have Place, Then lifting up the Scales, he fand The tane bang up, the ither stand; Syne out he took the heaviest Haff, And ate a Knoost o’t quickly aff, And try’d it syne,—It now prov’d light, Friend Cats, said he, We’ll do ye right. Then to the ither Haff he fell, And laid till’t teughly Tooth and Nail, Till weigh’d again it lightest prov’d: The Judge wha this sweet Process lov’d, Still weigh’d the Case, and still ate on, Till Clients baith were weary grown,

Alt...

And tenting how the Matter went, Cry’d, Come, come Sir, We’re baith content. Ye Fools, quoth he, and Justice too Maun be content as well as you. Thus grumbled they, thus he went on, Till baith the Haves were near hand done; Poor Pousies now the Daffine saw Of gawn for Nignyes to the Law: And bill’d the Judge that he wad please To give them the remaining Cheese: To which his Worship grave reply’d, The Dues of Court maun first be paid. Now Justice pleas’d,—What’s to the Fore Will but right scrimply clear your Score; That’s our Decreet,—Gae Hame and Sleep, And thank us ye’re win aff sae cheap.

#Introduction

I jut moved from toot.community over here. I'm more of a booster than content creator. I enjoy #art, #FountainPens, #bicycles, #satire, #TheOutdoors, riffing on the Orange Cheeto, #science, #cats, #culture at large, and the world in general.

I believe we're here for more than pulling down a paycheck. Our lives need to give back in some way to future generations and those currently around us. How to do that is a discovery I'm currently on.

Oh, damn. I have more than a 500 character limit on this instance. This could be bad news for my tendency to ramble and be too wordy.

I hearby promise to keep my thoughts to a respectable length, like the {CHAUCER} CANTERBURY TALES.

The center of the image contains black and white line art of architectural structures framing the stylized outline text, "Cats Hidden in Paris," which is arranged on three lines. Below this illustration is a green banner containing stars and a trophy icon next to the text "100%." At the bottom of the screen, there is a heart icon with the number "0" and a timestamp that reads "3 hours ago."
