Are There "No Bad Cats"? - Dear Pammy at Way of Cats www.wayofcats.com/blog/are-the... The biggest, yet unspoken, worry people have about adopting cats from shelters. That they will somehow bring home a cat who will not love them. #BudBudTheSpud #ManyFacesOfPickle #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers

I'm still appalled, but not a bit shocked. It's, like, obvious? Study of behavior.
NEW POST! When Should I Put a Cat on Psychiatric Medicine? - Dear Pammy at Way of Cats www.wayofcats.com/blog/dear-pa... This was Bud relaxed a few weeks ago, and he looks the same, now. #BudBudTheSpud #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers
Bud has been a slightly subdued version of himself, but not in a bad way. No more anxiety attacks, so far. Morgen is also calmer, because he is. #BudBudTheSpud #Caturday
So do I. It will help them make a bigger splash... when they return to the eternal pool. 🙏
Inspector convening White House staff: “My job is to determine which one of you murdered the President.” Pan to room: *JD Vance awkwardly holding a couch pillow.* *Kristi Noem nervously rubbing gun barrel.* *RFK Jr. swigging raw milk.* *Stephen Miller crouched in corner gnawing on a deer’s femur.*

This is our Bud on drugs. Something for his anxiety, which can have a physical or mental source. Metabolic testing came back "Very Normal." Which would be a first for him. Unusual might be his middle name. And he needs one, if you know what I mean. #BudBudTheSpud

Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Oh, I feel such compassion for them. Trapped on a sinking ship for generations.
NPR had a story about Cook's research. Very interesting 1899 remains the peak year for African American patents per capita US lost out on more than 1,100 inventions from Black inventors because of violence and inequality Equivalent to patents from a medium-sized European country Racism is costly🙄
Fox encourages "sacred" white supremacy principles to people beaten since birth to fear Hell, which walks the earth shaped like liberals. These are people who blame demons. They don't acknowledge the Enlightenment. Where can we go from here?
Policy for the wonks, drama for the normies. That's how you build a Left-Wing coalition!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Sidelined by corporate media?
Maybe if Trump ruins Christmas...
Trump cultists agree this is the Rapture. "Any minute now" since mid-19th century. Studies about the damage of this mindset . "Life" is not real. Evangelical rules mess it up, but dodges eternal torture. Why they stay ignorant, confused, and angry. Acknowledging reality will send them to Hell.
Trump appealed to Evangelical Christians because they believe in MAGIC. Not allowed adulthood. Their culture insists they believe "Lost Cause" lies and deny their most human impulses. Remain trapped in guilt and projecting on "others." They can't heal. Or Red State gravy train derails.
They were born the summer of 2019. Bud and Lou, on the right with the white socks, arrived with us through feral rescue, a foster home, and our vet's office. A bonded pair who are still together. #TBT #TBThursday #BudBudTheSpud #LouTheCreamfilledCat #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers

"Prior to the ECOA, women could be asked to have a male relative/spouse co-sign for credit cards or loans. Trump cannot singlehandedly remove the ECOA, but his EO can make it harder for women to get federal help & can allow federally funded projects to discriminate based on gender."
Rhiannon has the crossed paws of satisfaction. She has been neglected! Bud has been getting too much attention! She was right. She's always right 💕 #TheDivineQueen #Tortitude #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers
Cat Type Distribution gives us odds on choosing. - Way of Cats www.wayofcats.com/blog/cat-typ... We might go to the shelter with a list of requirements. Or take a lost kitten from the side of the road. Knowing their Cat Type will help us take care of their needs. #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers
LG sounds like Lou Costello. Call Sign: Chowhound.
Google AI identified Morgen as a Bombay cat breed. That's what I thought, from when she was 6 months old. Not a purebred. But the appearance and traits of the breed, created by American Shorthair/Burmese crosses. Done by Mother Nature. #MissMorgenMagic #Rescue #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers

He tells the truth and they think it's hell. I don't see him as angry. He's disappointed.
Why can't it be both? Or ALL? Corporate dems, etc.
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

When you really want something, nothing else will satisfy you.
It would explain so much.
Oh, it's landing. On red state Republican voters, crying to Trump to save them. No, they still don't get it, they are _Cultists_. The Zombie Horde we've been warned about. However, most people will leave a cult, when the price gets too high. It just did.
Their demise is our gain. Bunch of hidden bigots hiding their own abuses of power.
Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome proest?
Yes. Girls -- as in people -- mature faster. Bud is six and we are starting to see signs of maturity 😂
If you want a LOT of kitten for a LONG time, pick an Alpha! 😘
I'm posting this link again because it's so important for Democrats to understand that we are fighting back HARD, and because I'm sick and tired of reading that Hakeem Jeffries isn't doing enough from fools who don't understand what his job is: cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

Trump’s National Guard crackdown in D.C. is reigniting the push for statehood. Because the district lacks full representation and residents can’t elect Congress members, control of the National Guard falls to the president.
Bud is a giver. He got extra hugs.
Yes, Alpha boys want to star in action movies. Until they are well into adulthood. Now, dear reader, you are either warned... or intrigued. #BudBudTheSpud
Thank you :) He so much IS a sweet fella! It's why I adopted him and his brother. I knew he would be misunderstood.
When you live in a world of illusion, it's not them baking it from scratch. Someone else is running the projector. They have had all the imagination beaten out of them as children, so they have to settle for this mishmash of pop culture and Bible stories.
Their voters are like that. They grew up intimidated by religion and the corruption culture that is so rampant in Red States. The Murdaughs and their grip on an entire county were not the exception... more like the RULE.
Landing the space vehicle. That was always the tricky part. Lou was the lookout, while Bud did all the parallel parking. #BudBudTheSpud #LouTheCreamfilledCat #Caturday #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers
This one is Rhiannon's favorite. I put the cats' Chromebook screen side down. She finds a place to sit and stare down into it. She must think I have a hole in the sky. #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers #Caturday Birds Flying in Slow Motion - Paul Dinning youtube.com/watch?v=TmOl...
Bud has been resting much more since his vet visit, though he got only one dose of his stress med, and it's long cleared by now. I think he was dealing with anxiety and it was interfering with sleep. We are letting him catch up. All this week ❤️ #BudBudTheSpud #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers

Took it from a video, about a year and a half ago, because I love his face here. He's had a rough week and he's a bit down at the moment. But he'll feel better soon, and be my muppet boy again. #BudBudTheSpud #TBT #TBThursday #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers

Bud fixated on Morgen, tail puffed 3X. Whisked to the vet. "Hello from (local) Animal Hospital- Bud Abbott's bloodwork was very normal. No underlying endocrine or metabolic diseases." My reply: "Thanks. At least something about Bud-Bud is very normal." #MissMorgenMagic #CatsofBlueSky #Cats

Even though this act of terrorism hasn't been acknowledged by political leaders including the President, the people of Atlanta are standing up and making noise about it: atlantaciviccircle.org/2025/08/17/a...
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
Rhiannon had never been in a watercolor before. So that is where the shiny rock tunnel led. #TheDivineQueen #TortieTuesday #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #CatLovers
Sure! What no one "gets" about cold reading is how some people are desperate for someone to tell them what to do. I handled ethical concerns of Tarot with therapy techniques, to redirect people's questions back to them. They HAD to decide, themselves. We had good talks & they used their minds.
Cheaper than therapy and nobody realizes that's what you are doing.
Like using Eliza as your therapist.

HEY DONALD, WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES? WHY ARE YOU HIDING THEM? ARE YOU IN THE EPSTEIN FILES, DONALD????
I suggest we steal Big Ball's medal before it is even bestowed. It belongs to the Subway Slinger.
Attorney General Pam Bondi says that the "Subway Slinger" who chucked a sandwich at a federal agent in DC the other night is actually a DOJ employee. She describes him as an "example of the deep state."
No, I’m the subway slinger. I’m the subway slinger. I’m the subway slinger. No it’s me. It’s me, the subway slinger.
Subway Sandwich Slinger Suspect Subsequently Sprung Shocking 🙆🏽♀️😁
