Happy Thanksgiving!
Not a lot of talk in the press about what's underneath the East Wing: the bunker / PEOC.
Sounds familiar.
The babies have hit the age where they follow me all around like little ducklings.
Daisy is getting so big. She weighed in this morning at 0.9 lbs.
Today is their first day here so the agenda is simple: food, warmth, and probably a face bath for the little Siamese girl. Despite the dirt, they appear healthy but I may have to bottle feed / wean the Siamese girl. She's not eating.
New fosters, all girls, 4 weeks old.
Seven years ago, Pauline Shanks Kaurin left a good job as a tenured professor, uprooted her family, and moved to teach military ethics at the Naval War College. Now she's leaving in protest of policies she can't support and that make her job impossible.

They will be fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated.
If you know anyone in the Coachella Valley (CA) who needs a couple of kittens, I'm your Huckleberry.
The youngest needed to be bottle fed, the oldest was a terrified feral kitten. I had to partition my house into various quarantine areas. Everyone survived.
If you're wondering about the sheer volume of kittens, my local shelter had a very bad day a few weeks ago. 50 underage kittens were turned in within a few hours. I took 5 litters, some with upper respiratory infections, one with pneumonia.
I have a little neuro kitten who may be harder to place. Such a sweet thing. Her name is Corkscrew and her whole body twists to the left. Tiny body, huge purr.
Foster kittens everywhere.
I've 99% walked away from social media.
I highly recommend it.
Foster kittens 27 - 32 are 5 weeks old and are now running around and playing in my office.
33 - 35 are in quarantine in the back bedroom. Two are 6 weeks old, one is 5 weeks.
36 and 37 are 4 weeks old and are horribly sick with an URI, so they are in a super strict quarantine in a bathroom.
The babies are just about 2.5 weeks old now. They are growing so fast.
But who will play the blue tarp?
We named the hummingbird "Godot."
Ears and eyes are now open and they are just starting to crawl. Mostly, they just roll over and flail like helpless turtles.
Foster babies are the best.
Foster kittens 27 through 32. 1 week old.
#Caturday Behemoth is two months shy of his 2nd birthday. He’ll grow until he’s 3.
He does not like being picked up.
"From this office, we called out to the future so that the people who occupy it may know the truth about what happened that day. History will know that day because of what we did. That matters — now more than ever — and no one can ever take that away."

My new foster litter is so stinkin' cute.
