Happy 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).

Here’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!

Happy 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. ❤️🐈‍⬛

www.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.

Rural America’s Maternal-Health Crisis Is About to Get Much Worse
Care will be in shorter supply, travel distances will stretch farther, and high-risk situations will more likely result in tragedy.

Here 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!

Happy 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!

Happy 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.

Happy 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!

So 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??🤬🤬🤮🤮

WTF 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!!

Tom 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!!
