iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I had a dream last night that my boyfriend and I were going on a trip but I couldn't bear to leave Francie behind, so we brought her and I filled the hotel bathtub with kitty litter for her to use. Instead of just bringing a litter box. Baffling dream decision-making.

Splendid photo of a splendid baby. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black-and-white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten walking along a wooden beam that is laying on a grass lawn. There is a light colored house and a small tree in the background. The photo is especially lovely because the depth of field is quite precise on the kitten with a great deal of blur in the foreground in the background.

I think this might be my favorite photo in my collection. It's the one I picture being on the cover of a book if I ever make one someday. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. ❤️ No date/info.

Please help if you can! Queen City Cat Lounge is an adoption center I visit frequently here in Vermont and their window was vandalized last night. Fortunately they had double glass for the cats' safety, but the broken outer window needs to be fixed ASAP. www.gofundme.com/f/repair-and...

Poor Marcel. He has to live inside sprawled out on a velvet blanket surrounded by toys and treats and love instead of outside where he acquired the FIV virus and lost an eye. ☹️

I'm reading a book where a family moved from NYC to a rural house in Georgia. They pulled up to their new house and their cat immediately jumped out of the car and ran off and the mom was like, "Don't worry. He's just an outdoor cat now! He'll be fine." to her kid. I might have to stop reading it.

Marcel is the boldest, bossiest dude when it's just us but he's deeply terrified of strangers in our home. We had a new mattress and bed frame delivered today and he didn't come out from under the living room couch for an hour. He's still freaked out.
