Molting is done and the girls are in fine fettle. This one is looking particularly fluffy.

Yes, to all of this!

Oh, poor kitty. Poor you. 😞

A calm and cool Fi visits the vet. Doing good for a chonky woman of a certain age.

The girls are making a comeback now that molting season is done!

After the wild weather last night, it was a balm to the heart to find some color in this late autumn afternoon.

It was red all the way to Everett last night. Hope you have power now. Ours just came back on.

The power is out over much of the Seattle area. The windstorm was actually a thing.

They’re so good!

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Quick! There’s a patch of blue sky* in the PNW! Go soak it up before the next deluge** hits! Sunlight is like a $100 bill you find in a favorite book: a welcome surprise from an old friend.

I was thinking that, too. But who wants that sort of recognition?

That sucks, Charlotte. 😞 I hope you can get them taken down.

Yesterday was full of random deluges, but there were moments of absolute joy as well.

You needed a hot water bottle? 😂

The cats have been super clingy since I returned from ACNW. Either they missed me, or they want to use me as a hot water bottle.
