I'm also on the cusp of cronehood, and also a survivor. You really are an inspiration to me. You're brave and smart and creative. I'm proud of you.

I had shingles in my early 50s. It was agony. The Shingrix vaccine was tough, but nothing like shingles. I'm happy you've saved yourself!

Absolem selects his target. He's 13 weeks old, now, and in his "everything must DIE!" stage. #caturday #kittensky

I finished Rising Tide, about the 1927 Mississippi River flood. Since today marks 20 years since Katrina hit, I'm starting The Great Deluge.

The genocide was (is) real, but she didn't scream loudly enough against it to satisfy them. It wouldn't have mattered anyway. They needed an excuse.

Absolem had his first vet visit today. He's 3.4 lbs, 11 weeks old, and absolutely perfect. No fleas, mites, or parasites. FeLV/FIV neg. Got his 1st FVRCP vaccine. And he stole the hearts of everyone in the clinic. He's a Creel kitteh! #Catsky #kittensky #catsofbsky

There was an investigation, and lots of actual email evidence of sexual harassment. Everyone was shocked and sad.
Julie Creel (@joooooooles.bsky.social) reply parent
You may not know this, being from the UK, but this guy was accused by several women of sexually inappropriate incidents, including unwanted sexual touching. Back in 2017.

The Husband Critter has tamed the wild kitten. I guess he's about 8-10 weeks old. Very skinny, but eats and drinks well. Pooped in litter box, no pee yet. Probably dehydrated. No fleas that I can find, but one tick. First available vet appt in a week, so we'll keep him separated from our kittehs.

He's sooo skinny. But he's safe and cozy and fed. Tomorrow I'll call our vet and have him examined and tested for felv/fiv. #kittensky #caturday #CatWrangling #NotOutFirstRodeo

We got him into the garage and let him calm down. He was so scared, but never hissed or growled. We got out biggest cat carrier outfitted with a litter box, a towel, and food & water

๐งต Earlier today we saw a kitten in our garden. We snuck back and left a can of cat food for him. He ate it all and hung around near the deck. We got out our small hav-a-hart trap and baited it with more food. It took about 3 more hours for him to go inside. Success!
