Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Happy Caturday! Today I’m featuring my beloved fosters from summer of 2022. I fostered their 6 month old teen mom, who had the 4 kittens two days after I picked her up. So precious! Ginger & Chili (orange tabby) together in two pix, then Peppercorn, Basil (gray tabby). 040
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Here’s one of my nine week old foster kittens, Opika, cuddling with my beloved Minky, almost 19. Opika is the kitten with moderate cerebellar hypoplasia. I love her! 060
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Happy Caturday! Here’s two fosters from a litter of five in 2024. I think Penney and Bernardt but not sure. It’s all a blur! One of my current foster kittens has moderate cerebellar hypoplasia-very wobbly, hard to walk & keep balance. Not painful. Plays and eats well- I help a bit with eating. ❤️🐈⬛ 051
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 05/08/2026So excited, Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan Dem nomination for US Senate. The wave of the future, I hope! 020
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 29/07/2026www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... Excellent and very important article about the lack of OB/labor and delivery care in rural areas. This will only get much worse due to clown regime/Repubs’ cuts to Medicaid & new huge cost of H1-B visas for MDs from other countries.theatlantic.comRural America’s Maternal-Health Crisis Is About to Get Much WorseCare will be in shorter supply, travel distances will stretch farther, and high-risk situations will more likely result in tragedy. 031
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Here are my current foster kittens- panther girls Opika and Oksana, pale gray tabby girl Kaori, & gray tabby boy Daisuke. About seven weeks. Opika has moderate cerebellar hypoplasia. Hard to walk without falling, very wobbly. But she’s a special, determined sweetie! 030
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Happy Caturday! Here are the glamour shots of my fosters Penney (gray), Bernardt (gray tabby), Vivian (white with gray), Francie (gray with white on chest) & Clifford (orange tabby). Were bottle fed & named by another foster, then I got them at 5 weeks to wean & get adopted. I adopted Francie! 010
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Happy Caturday! Here’s my new foster kittens, although I’m missing one of the two “panfurs.” Can’t tell them apart. Just over four weeks, will be ready to try “meats” or “meatshakes” soon. Still up middle of night and up very early, can’t wait until I can sleep eight hours. 020
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Meet my new litter of foster kittens, about three weeks old. I have four but two are “panthers” & look exactly alike. Put gold nail polish on one’s tail. Named after Olympic medalist figure skaters. Daisuke (boy gray tabby),Kaori (girl pale gray tabby), Oksana & Opika (panthers). 282
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Happy Caturday! Here are my fosters Cosimo (pink nose) and Cosima from fall 2024. They were adopted together. 041
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Happy Caturday! I fostered these cuties & their Mama (Calpurrnia) in 2024. I got them 24 hours after Calpurrnia gave birth. It was February & she went to a house where they had been feeding her, came in & had babies. Fortuna (left) weighed only 67 grams so I bottle fed her- she grew & was adopted! 010
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Happy Caturday! Here’s the glamour shots for my foster litter of “panthers,” from 2023. Krinkle, PB Blossom, and Spritz. Black cats are the best! 061
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Throwback Thursday- the first kittens I fostered after I retired. Two boys, Renoir (white with black ear) and Botticelli (white with black on head and black spots), and a girl, Musette, calico. So adorable! They were adopted as a trio and I still get updates from the adopters! 040
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Happy Caturday! Here are the “glamour shots” of my fosters Declan (grey tabby) and Rory (girl). The photos are taken at nine week clinic visit. Kittens can be adopted at ten weeks. These precious ones were adopted as a pair. 1152

Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Take a break and refresh with these sunset pix from St. Lucia. 170
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Here’s my newest foster, Frostine, 11 days old. Found with a litter whose mother could not be found. Frostine was the only kitten that survived. Name inspired by Frosty the Snowman stuffie her finder gave her to cuddle. Below weight, adding tube feedings. So feisty & strong. ❤️she needs to make it! 070
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 12/04/2026The POS who is the useful idiot of the reckless 🤡 regime is CLINICALLY INSANE!!! What he’s vomiting about Iran & Hormuz is nonsensical. 🤬 OMFG 052
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I must be a masochist- listening to 🍊💩🤡 press conference. All about rescue of pilot, lots of reverence for dear leader. This is to draw attention away from 🍊💩’s completely deranged and sick post on Easter, & the fact this war will not end- negotiations going nowhere. Bunch of BS! 030
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Well, views from our beachfront bungalow in St. Lucia. Planned this trip a year ago, all paid. Enjoying time in this special place with those I love. I’m conflicted as there’s of course hardship & poverty here, but their livelihood depends so much on tourism. Missing my cats; pet sitter texts pix. 050
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Watching the Oscars. Conan got in two good digs at 🍊💩so far. Not Brits nominated for best actor/actress, “but at least they arrest their pedophiles!” And something like “I bet he wouldn’t rename this theater if choice was the small penis theater.” Plus serious remarks about optimism in hard times. 030
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 12/03/2026MN AG sued DOJ for refusing to provide Medicaid $$ already appropriated. Hearing before Judge Tofsterud today. DOJ atty not from MN & not admitted there. All he had to do was have an atty admitted in MN Fed Dist court file motion to appear Pro Hac Vice. Easy. DOJ= stupid inept 🤡s! Also- man bun?? 020
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Happy Caturday from my former foster babies Odette (mostly white), Oralie (orange tabby with white) and Odile (calico). Odette and Odile were adopted as a pair, and Oralie was adopted with her brother, Oriole. 080
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 04/03/2026So disgusted and sickened by Kegseth’s glee in announcing an Iranian ship was sunk by a sub torpedo near Sri Lanka. At least 87 dead. He keeps using his stupid violent adjectives and verbs. So excited this is first ship to be sunk by torpedo since WWII. How is that a good thing??🤬🤬🤮🤮 163
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Well this war is already escalating exponentially- Bibi couldn’t wait to start bombing Lebanon. Dubai getting hit- major global air hub. 🤡 & crew have no plan. 🍊💩 now saying not ruling out boots on ground. Send Don Jr., Eric, Barton.🤬🤬🤬🤬 042
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I find it infuriating that💩🍊& his gang of dopey grifters couldn’t stay in DC for one weekend while carrying out the illegal war on Iran. Security is ratcheted way up-but in both DC & Mar-a-lago. Yet more waste of our tax dollars! (Also, another “SCIF” in the dining room with just black curtains!😂😂🤬 022

Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 11/02/2026FAA is another 🤡 show! Closed airspace around El Paso due to drones. Mexican cartels have been using drones to move drugs since 2010. Air ambulances and flights carrying medical equipment had to be rerouted; travelers stranded in El Paso. Then FAA quickly re-opened airspace. 030
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 09/02/2026My fosters Lava and Iggy, now adopted. Hard to say goodbye. 170
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Just called Sens. Tina Smith & Amy Klobuchar and stressed they must vote against any additional funding for ICE! Repubs won’t agree to many of the conditions/rules for ICE that Dems want anyway. Further, ICE & DOJ won’t comply. Shut it down! Don’t compromise. 041

Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 04/02/2026WTF does DHS/ICE not get about the difference between MN Dept. of Corrections (state prisons) & county/city jails? DOC has FULLY cooperated with ICE. County/city jails have their own rules, but also, most people in JAILS are awaiting trial thus have not been convicted thus aren’t criminals!! 000

Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Local Fox News (Minneapolis) is actually coming across anti-ICE in its reporting. Showed even for immigrants ICE identified as criminals in MN & they want released to them, the ones Fox could find info on are NOT incarcerated. Clown show. Idiots. Liars! 000
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino. In MN, the Dept. of Corrections (state prisons) always releases inmates to DHS when DHS notifies of a retainer & sentence is completed. He wants this done by local jails too. But 1. inmates are awaiting trial, not convicted & 2. DHS’ job to notify jail!! 000

Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Dem Senators must block additional funding for ICE! Some of what I’m reading suggests they will “compromise” and vote in favor if the bill contains language placing limits on ICE conduct/authority. But that means jack shit; they clearly do what they want! They believe they have full immunity…🤬🤬 000
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 26/01/2026The regime is a bunch of racist idiot clowns. They all came out so hard right after Alex Pretti was murdered, but now KKKaroline is trying to walk it back (especially Goebbels, I mean Miller). And 💩🍊calls Walz to walk back his posts. And Homan is replacing Bovino. Dems, don’t cave!!! Vote no! 021
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Minneapolis resident here, at a complete loss as to how we get ICE and CBP to leave our city and state. Walz didn’t have any answers other than peacefully protest and keep documenting! But that’s what Renee & Alex were doing when murdered!! Therefore, sheriffs start arresting ICE thugs! 021
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Disappointed in PBS Newshour’s coverage of immigration enforcement tonight. Never brought up the fact that so many of those violently arrested & detained in MN are citizens! Never brought up that only a very small %age of those detained have committed a crime! 044
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 23/01/2026🤬🤮Board of Peace my ass. What a joke. Could hardly stand the short sound bite on PBS. 🍊💩 referenced ending suffering etc. But what about ending USAID?? It’s all grift for demented clown & family. Many of the countries that joined are authoritarian/dictatorships. 022

Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 09/01/2026ICE is now saturating NE and SW Minneapolis, downtown (Four Seasons spa), Edina & St. Louis Park. They lay in wait in parking lots of Target, Walmart, Costco, shopping centers. Like Mayor Frey said, GTFO of Minneapolis!!!! 031
Minette M. @madatty.bsky.social · 08/01/2026The cruelty and evil of the ICE thugs- would not let a physician at the scene assess her, claimed they had medics but none there, then when EMS arrived, would not move their vehicles so EMS had to walk a ways through ice & snow to to get to her. This was criminal!! 🤬🤬🤬😢😢😢 010
