Bumblebee permanently smells like clean linen. RC pretty much always smells like he rolled in dirt. It's a mixed bag

This is my table. There are others like it, but this one is mine

Careful, there usually isn't much-room in a carry on! (I'll see myself out)

Y'all. I know you're tired of my running on about this, and I *want* to give you a break over the weekend, but I CAN'T fail these cats. They need a HOME. They're affectionate, relaxed and in decent health, and their issues are MINOR and EASILY MANAGEABLE. All we need is to find That Person.

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

ORPHAN CATS STILL SEEKING A FOREVER HOME I've updated the original thread linked here. It has *all* the pertinent information, so please read the whole thing.

You've already done that. Thanks to you, she knows love and care and safety. You took her with you out of an absolutely miserable environment. Debating euthanasia isn't failing her. It's offering her the comfort you've always given her.

MRIs feel weirdly like being in an escape pod from an exploding spaceship

(I mean, it's a weirdly good metaphor, ticks are nightmares to remove and it usually results in a dead tick and/or a small explosion of blood)

Possibly the difference is these holosuites are run by Quark and are a private business, rather than a Star fleet ship amenity

Oh same. Fiona is 18ish, and I once bribed her with a piece of fried tilapia (I peeled the batter off) to get her to finish her dinner. The younger ones (who ate their dinners in full) shared one piece between the three of them

I mean, slightly (incredibly) off-theme, but Florian, Dorian, and Morian mayhaps?

One of those is a decently drawn rabbit

Bumblebee doing her best impression of a horror movie slasher while waiting for an opportunity to steal Fifi's food

Photo of a kitchen. In the foreground is a blue cat water fountain and a bowl of cat food, from which a grey-and-white cat is eating. In the background, a black cat watches from behind the kitchen island.

It's a very traditional "bap-bap-bap" battle pose in our house

One of these cats is Ancient, and Arthritic, and Likely Blind, and still scampered upstairs and climbed into this chair entirely unprompted. The other is a kitten, so, expected.

Photo of two deck chairs stored inside in a light colored room with their cushions piled up on top of them. The chairs are in a little line waiting to go back outside, and in each one there is a sleeping cat. In the one closest to the camera, a young black cat does her best impression of a capital "Q". In the chair behind, an elderly grey and white cat has stubbornly curled up.

Yeah my migraine nap today ended with a lil lady perched directly on top of me

Video game lounge/cat cafe combo. It would be adorable, fluffy chaos. Perfect for socializing cats for work-from-home households. Maybe.

A habit that transcends species apparently

A (once) snowy white cat lying on a wooden deck, looking smugly at the camera. His cheeks, chest, and arm are brown from rolling in the dirt. He cannot be stopped

Unfortunately a human REM cycle is between 2-3 hours, so it's likely that the 3 hour feeds weren't interrupting your REM sleep, but the 5 hour ones are

I've lint rollered the cat directly (he likes it, somehow) and it still doesn't help

the grumpy bumblebee @grumpy-bumble.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

That's a precious muppet you have there

When all else fails, apply cat to migraine. Results may vary

Knowing kittens, both. They're great at multitasking

RC stole Fifi's cat bed, only to be followed and crowded by Lani

Photo of a pink fluffy cat bed with a large white cat sitting in it. The cat bed is positioned on the edge of the rug so the occupant can look out the glass door. Next to the cat bed is a little black cat, who has turned to look at the camera.

Temperature control leggy! Our boy RC is an expert

Photo of a white fluffy cat sleeping in a white fluffy bed, with one rear leg stretched wayy out. For temperature reasons, he assured me.

Happy International Rescue Cat Day from the proud human of four rescue cats! Three were shelter cats and one was a forest stray. Now they're all happy, healthy, spoiled housecats

Oops radio silence- all humans and cats are fine, just waking up from winter hibernation

Photo of a black cat lying on the blanket-covered back of a couch. She is mid yawn, showing off all her lovely sharp teeth and very pink tongue

Bumblebee did similar things- bites and claws were her first warning. As she learned she could trust us, she started to grumble instead.

the grumpy bumblebee @grumpy-bumble.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Mister Man, Fifi-Weefy, Bumble-Wumble, and Lani-Bo-Bani-Fee-Fi-Lo-Lani all agree with this sentiment

Yeah our elderly lady gets to eat off the table like a human (she sits on a stool, it seems to be better for her back)

I present the few moments of peace as everyone shares a sun puddle

Photo of the end of a blue leather couch dappled by the morning sun. On the back of the couch is a chubby black cat with front paws dangling on either side of the couch. A grey and white cat is loafed on a tan pillow next to the armrest. A black cat sits next to her, staring out the window

(The universe has aligned in such a way that I recently had to do a variety of research on Barbados)

Excluding a rental car, your primary forms of transport will likely be bus or taxi. The taxis are rarely metered so it's recommended to discuss fares beforehand. In addition to English, Bajan is also commonly spoken, which is an English-based dialect.

I'm assuming she's been checked for fleas, but when we found our white cat, he had a big grey patch on his forehead that turned out to be flea poop

You've got yourself a little fruit basket! Seems Apple might be a bit of a crabapple

Ah yes, the "and just Where have you Been, young lady?" look. I get it all the time
