That first hot shower is going to be magical!

Or go for another ride!

Something for the earthquake kit is always good 😹

Chunky boy cat eating a cat appropriate cake: egg yolk on raw meat, sprinkled with chicken flavoured kibble and a dried sardine

And so everyone should!

My cat just had a birthday. We forgot to take pictures but here is one from last year. He dutifully played with everything the kids unwrapped, then ate his cake.

Also a can of tuna is just an inappropriate gift! Unless you are a cat, then it’s cool 😻

DM sent!

I know a guy >>> most physios! I can hook you up

Such a sweetie! Special companion. Am glad you were owned by him for a while, not everyone is this lucky x

You know that joke that ends with “this could have been an email”?

Yeah.

Instead, vet goes:

I just wanted to tell you to keep doing what you’re doing, this is one of the healthiest geriatric cats we have ever seen.

I go through multiple stages of grieving on the drive there, fully prepared for the message to be: take him home if you want, but this is a dead cat walking.

Nurse: Yes, you can collect him. Can you come at 3:15… THE VET WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

Emphasis is mine. She didn’t yell but might have just as well 😱

Years ago now, this happened at with the vet.

The cat had stayed for the day for a blood test with some sedation (read: cat is an aggressive a**hole) and I call the clinic to make sure I can collect him after work as planned.

DON’T SHAKE THE BABY

Good day for it. My latest cheese trick is baked Halloumi with fresh tomato, fennel seed, lemon. Finish with pomegranate molasses and fresh basil 👨‍🍳

John: “Hello, Gizmo! It’s nice to see you. We don’t usually have cats your age here. Cats your age are usually dead!”

Come for a blood test, stay for the comedy.

Thinking of the cat, here is a vet story…

Went in for a check up.
Vet is new to us, but his name is John, like all the other vets at this clinic.

…

When I am in the room, he acts dumb and can’t even get them out in easy mode. If I fill it up in hard mode and leave it overnight, all treats are gone.

I know who rules this house.

Cat playing with a game that has compartments for treats under sliders.

Cat turned 23. Enough reason for a fancy present.

We have one of each and the foliage is so similar, super hard to tell. Very cheerful regardless!

In the news for all the wrong reasons. I feel for publisher and authors: making rules after the fact sucks.

That is answered in the article! No, it’s a design team that works or contracts to the publisher

Probably up to $68 now 🤓

… Aaaaand another example of how resistant this industry is to change. A more nuanced and realistic approach is needed, not this black/white head in the sand stuff 😔

The little one looks like an Azalea, very pink

I think it may be a southern rata! Beautiful

And it’s getting worse 😭

Private profit, public risk. Welcome to the rest of our lives

She was. And inexplicably goes soft on them. More fury, more fire 🔥🔥🔥 This is corruption. Fire them all

Corruption is alive and well!

Internal procedures that can be blocked by senior management are not robust. An org not implementing robust procedures is corrupt. Fire them all 🔥
