Aw, thanks! I don't talk about my little cat much, and I won't here just now anymore, as it's too painful.

My neighbours and the local cat home are the real stars, though -- Gus was brought in by the care worker of his original owner. His original owner was developmentally disabled, but still had Gus from kittenhood. He spent the first five years of his life confined to her one-room flat, and only eating human junkfood. She alternated from over-cuddling him to hitting him; she brought him in to the cat shelter to be put down because 'he was too ugly.' (It's his eye -- one of his tear ducts was torn in kittenhood, so his face is a bit stained; it still runs sometimes, but he's not in pain or ill.) The original owner was given a court order against any future pet ownership.

On the plus side, he's now fat and fruity, and I know from having seen it, his supper dish looks like this



*I* would eat out of bowl system shaped like a fish.

Here's Gus chilling with Mr Attila's old ratty catty

His name is supposed to be Tommy but Margret’s mom and aunt keep calling him “TIT HEAD” for no particular reason
He’s he’s the one that when you’re busy trying to do computer things he gets intent on wanting to be in your face licking the end of your nose. Not trying to nurse, just licking it

You asked for it. A mentally ill, and possibly also gay, black man shot and killed an attractive white news reporter and her cameraman on live TV, for reasons which he stated in a 23-page manifesto were racially motivated, specifically in response to the Charleston church shooting. There's the obvious tragedy of two people being murdered, but arguably worse is the political clusterfuck that will arise, between gun control/"How dare you politicize this tragedy", racism and RaHoWa possibly kicking off in earnest, the mental illness angle, and something bad because He Gay. TFR and D&D are already at each other's throats about this, and it can only get better from there.

For happier content, Boop. Love me!

Keepers usually describe them as assholes. They are assholes by cat standards.

I really hope they got an actual mini-pig and not just a regular piglet.

Yeah that's what I was thinking when they said mini-pig, wouldn't be the first time somebody has fallen for that one.

Just when you think you've heard all the stories about Mr Rogers that make you mist up and realize just how good of a person he was another one pops up.

When Mr Roger's Neighborhood started in 1968 the country was just 4 months removed from the assassination of Dr King, and Fred Rogers introduced his neighborhood to Officer Clemmons, a black police officer who was a kindly, responsible authority figure and was Mr. Roger's equal, colleague and neighbor.

Around the 1 year anniversary of Dr King's death Mr. Rogers invited Officer Clemmons to join him in soaking their tired feet in a plastic wading pool. And there they were, brown feet and pasty white feet, side by side in the water. Silently, contemplatively, without comment.

25 years later, when the actor playing Officer Clemmons retired, his last scene on the show revisited that same wading pool, this time reminiscing. Officer Clemmons asked Mr. Rogers what he'd been thinking during their silent interlude a quarter century before. Fred Rogers' answer was that he'd been thinking of the many ways people say "I love you."

TL;DR Mr Rogers is still awesomesauce.

I'm so glad you're all happy about Butterscotch!

It felt really awesome making it official. We're definitely gonna try to have some kind of small Butterscotch meet n' greet in the coming month or two.

Anyway, we celebrated Butterscotch's adoption by fostering a whole new batch! We were already there, why not flood our house with more furry things?



There's 7 cats total in there, 6 four week old kitties, and 1 mommy (she's still nursing).

Imagine just how crazy it is being in that room.

It's crazier than that.

Lot of cool stuff going, we'll be taking more pictures/video in the coming weeks. Not sure the best way to go about naming all these little buggers. There's three boys and three girls but it's very tough telling them apart.
