Sekhmet on the stairs


Sekhmet refusing to go down Danger Mountain, a thing I made today (danger mountain is just a less dangerous version of the way she jumps off the couch with tubes cuz I had to move them to vacuum)

She was curious about the snow that stuck around from yesterday. She was probably born ~August '22 so this is maybe the second time ever she's really seen an inch on the ground.
Ultimately she was unhappy with it and decided to go where it was warm. Later, half of it melted and she tried to forge a new path, and then got mad that she stepped in a quarter inch of freezing cold water.
She is now sleeping in her cat tower with her halloween witch lambchop toy.

How do your cats get into your bathrooms

Are you all just not closing the door when you poo poo or something

my cat spends like 40-50% of her day in the corner of the bathroom between the toilet and tub because she heard a mouse in the wall in there once

easy way to make her mad and kick her out is to tell her you gotta take a dump, she bolts

edit: last week Garfield came into the house for a while and they got along OK. The next day we put some food out for him and he popped out of a trashcan covered in patches of black grease just like,

Sekhmet laid around listening to her favorite band (I'm really not making GBS threads you, either; this is the one band where she chills down from street cat completely) while we were doing chores, on the good speakers laying on the best bed.
also that room has tunable lights and she's really down with one off, one at the most 70's orange at 10%

She's pretty OK with Fuzz and stuff, and believe it or not she likes High on Fire. She'd probably be chill with that. But man 12 minutes onward in On the Mountain at Dawn is her jam.
She likes Nina Simone, Erykah Badu, Outkast, Ween and disco a lot, too.

Kitty’s got good taste

E: and also a good name. I once made a beer dedicated to Hathor/Sekhmet. It had date syrup and pomegranate juice, and was ruby red, like a river of blood to fool Sekhmet into getting drunk and passing out. A toast to your little soft mistress of destruction!

we were trying to figure out her name and once my girlfriend floated bast around I was like you know what, what's the most obscure one I can find; and as it turns out, it fits her personality perfectly.

wikipedia posted:

In a myth about the end of Ra's rule on the earth, Ra sends the goddess Hathor, in the form of Sekhmet, to destroy mortals who conspired against him. In the myth, Sekhmet's blood-lust was not quenched at the end of battle and this led to her going on a bloody rampage that laid Egypt to waste and almost destroyed all of humanity. To stop her, Ra and the other gods devised a plan. They poured out a lake of beer dyed with red ochre or so that it resembled blood. Mistaking the beer for blood, Sekhmet drank it all and became so drunk that she gave up on the slaughter and returned peacefully to Ra.[5] The same myth was also described in the prognosis texts of the Calendar of Lucky and Unlucky Days of Papyrus Cairo 86637.[6]

I took a rather large beige crocheted blanket nobody wanted that my great grandma made in the early 90s from my dad; now Sekhmet has decided it's her favorite of all the good blankets (there are good blankets and bad blankets, generally involving fleece).

Garfield decided to let his own rear end in when I came home from the store, I had too much poo poo in my hands and I couldn't shoo him away and keep my cat inside at the same time with my two-door airlock


Sekhmet reacted in a very Sekhmet fashion (policed his behavior around the house and growled at him)

Garfield's owners just moved and abandoned two dogs and 3 cats at one of their mothers' houses, where they were living. 6 unit two-story rowhouse, this lady is in unit 2 and I'm in unit 1, she's infirm, and she also has 3 cats.
I'm glad those pieces of trash are finally gone, but I am not glad about what's happening here.

My kitty is a teetotaler for the most part. Maybe some nip once every 3 months. She likes to be lean, mean and ready for anything; probably a side-effect of her and her sister living on the street for a couple months as kittens.

My girlfriend let garfield in when she got home from work and he and sekhmet proceeded to be assholes to each other intermittently until 7AM, when he was sleeping on the bed and she jumped up sideways on the bed, hissed and punched him in the face, so I let him outside to which he responded to by running out of the door and jumping on a trashcan, returning to his natural habitat.
He's getting more comfortable being inside but you can tell he's not super stoked on it outside the "being warm" part, garfield is a free spirit who lives and breathes these streets.
