OMIGOSH she looks so much like my girl! Gone a year & a half but still missed like a limb. ❤️

A sweet but sassy tiger striped tabby cat with white socks and yoke is laying on a brown couch. There is a tv remote sticking out from under her. The look on her face suggests she is having a moment of attitude. This would be correct, as she is so peeved that her male human wouldn’t let her sit in his lap that she sought out the remote and laid down on it so he couldn’t find it. The only reason the remote can be seen in the pic is that the female human saw this all go down & attempted to retrieve the remote from under the cat. The female human received a furry slap on the hand as an indicator to ‘mind your own business’.

I’ll see your IV/phlebotomy shave sites and raise you an ostectomy. 😁

A large, pure white cat stands on a brown wood floor looking up at the camera. He’s perfectly normal-looking until you get to his back half. He had recently had surgery on his right hip so the thick, white fur on the entire back right quarter of his body was shaved, a ways over the left side of his spine and including the base of his tail. It was a precision shave job and the contrast between the rest of his white fluff and that swath of rosy pink skin is pretty funny-looking.

Is that brown a hard & fast rule? Cos in the right light this one was actually quite *green*. True story. 😄

A very striped tabby cat lies curled on her side in her human’s lap asleep. Most of her stripes are black or caramel brown but much of her hair blend appears as mossy green.

This is our #3 (now an only child ☹️) also a deep South native but was only 5 when we moved. Now that we have a fenced yard for him to explore of course it got hella cold, so he got a wee coat. 😁

A large white cat sits on a table. He’s looking unimpressed by but devastatingly adorable in the little coat his mom has put on him so he can spend a few minutes in the freezing back yard. The coat is dark green with white piping and has a collar of green and blue plaid.

My girls were born & raised in the deep South and were 20+ when we moved to just outside of Chicago. Those poor little ladies were SO COLD, I had to do something! 😄 Of course they were initially resistant but figured out how much it helped real quick.

This precious girl…she even piled the wrappers on dad’s keyboard so he couldn’t miss them. We couldn’t even be mad. 😆 She was such a junk food junkie; her favorite food in the world was sour cream & onion Pringles. Preferably with slurps of Pepsi. This 👇🏼 isn’t actually her but it could have been!

This is the face of the girl on whom you have no proof was the one who got up on dad’s desk, chewed open a bag of wrapped green apple caramels, unwrapped four and ate them. Unless you count the mauled bag, wrappers, and the bits of caramel stuck to her face…

An adorable striped tabby cat lounges on a brown couch. She’s on her back, all four white feet relaxed and looking at the camera like you’re interrupting her nap. The sweetest little junk food junkie there ever was. ❤️

We had one who drank EVERYTHING & would go to my length to take her fair share of whatever we had. We ended up buying some of these tumblers, every drink hot or cold that came in or was poured in the house went into one, which finally defeated her. A junk food junkie until the end, adorable nut. 🥰

The happiest point of this week was discovering a new bird has come to live around our yard. This male Eastern Towhee joins about 9 other species I feed. I’m really burning through the feed this week with 10” of snow on the ground. In related news: blue jays are pushy little feathered pigs. 😄

Look. I know there are so many MUCH worse things happening everywhere, but I was in PetSmart this morning & we’re still doing this to Betas? I know they’re fish & not puppies or even chickens but this is so damn cruel. About half of the fish in this display were dead. Who does this benefit? WHY??

A photo of a display of Beta fish in a PetSmart. Each fish is in its own small container with barely enough water for them to turn around in. There is no evidence of them having been fed. Of the 15 fish in this photo about half were dead.

I'm not working but the hubs is, I made a little excel worksheet for lunches & dinners Mon-Fri. It helps keep a good rotation going and also cuts down on groceries when I can plan dinners whose leftovers can extend to a good lunch later. I can plan for weekends or just wing it.

Poor guy has to do with a raw squash, while last night the mouse in my garage helped themself to my most excellent Mexican meal leftovers. I accidentally left this on the adjacent shelf while getting the door open. There are even paw prints in the sour cream. 🤦‍♀️

I had a ribbon-gobbler too! She was obsessed, would even get into the storage boxes to get at it. There was a total ribbon ban in our house for over 20 years, but it was her one and only vice. We lost this precious face a couple of years ago at 23. ❤️

My furbaby, in his bassinet with his handmade blankie, directly in front of the large heater vent. Adorable and adored and he knows it. 😄

A large, spoiled pure white cat lounges in a rope baby basket set on a wooden basket holder. Under him is a small handmade quilt of soft pastel colors with a dark pink binding. The quilt was made for him because when his mom was making a larger baby quilt for a gift she couldn’t keep his ass off of it, so she used the leftovers to make a smaller version for him.

I made this apron. I’d gladly send it to her in solidarity for bosses who were great but now suck.

A bright red bib apron with an angry gingerbread man embroidered on the bib area. The gingerbread man is clutching a large red and white candy cane and the other is extended holding up a middle finger. There is a large bite mark chunk out of the gingerbread man’s head and the text below the figure reads “Bite Me”.
