caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

$50 for diabetic friendly perishables would be a HUGE help! Still sitting at $0 for this goal. TYSM!

That's a major adjustment to make after so much time with a beloved human! He's clearly a very brave boy, and he looks much more confident in that picture than the first!

I can tell there's a sweet cat even in that first picture of Leo. And Kevin has a hilarious facial expression but looks very comfortable. I'm glad you were able and willing to help the Cat Distribution System in its mysterious ways.

I'm able to borrow two enchanted swords, and have a dagger of my own. I've been slowly working on assembling a tiara.

But no steam powered wolves for me. I'll go full on Freya or go home.

Oh goodness, poor babies and poor Chris! I hope the kitties settle in and your friend is able to safely relocate.

It's been two weeks since the Cat Distribution System sent us Leo, a Maine Coon, and Kevin, a lynx point Siamese. Their person, Chris, had to rehome them as they have to move east with their cat Zoe to escape DV.

Chris is about 60% to goal; can you share or help?

Kevin, a lynx point Siamese, rests on a blue pillow on a recliner. This is one of his favorite spots!

Leo, a brown mackerel tabby Maine Coon, in the early days when he was under the bed. He's a lot more confident now!

Also team Ishqueg, for similar reasons, though my initial thought was that Quishmeal sounds like a supplement advertised on a podcast.

Sunday's Gremlin is rumpled and disgruntled

There's a rumpled void boi loaf, dappled with autumn sunlight, one paw slightly forward to grip the edge of his catio corner shelf. The angle of his whiskers, ears, even back fur, all radiate unspecified, yet thorough disgruntlement.

There's yellow, gold, green leaves visible, with the delicate bright drops of fuchsia blooms from green hanging basket.

If you listen you'll hear the squirrels squabbling up in the tree. Maybe that's what's disturbing himself, himself.

I've just realized that the grumpiest cat probably doesn't even know what fish tastes like, which seems sad!

Then again, maybe the other cats are all just missing out on something by not eating pika.

No strong opinion about the feed, but I think we should keep the emoji. It's so obvious, and people still use it regularly.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

If this happens a couple of more times, it'll presumably have to stop, so we should all ignore this even harder.

Last night, one of my friends asked if it would be unseemly of him to bring a pie to a social gathering if another friend had already announced she would be baking a cake, and I have never heard a proposed social restriction get shot down so quickly or energetically.

Okay, yes, this is a vastly more interesting textile and much better cut.

I like the explanation of what it is, but if he wanted to go modern, almost anything Bad Bunny has worn in the past few years would be a better fit to this competition.

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOUR MEDICAL EMERGENCY IS DUE TO DRUG ADDICTION. IT'S A MEDICAL EMERGENCY YOU FUCKING GHOULS.

This is part and parcel of what's keeping us from having universal health care: they really believe that some ppl deserve medical care and some don't.

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

My brothers, wake up. The modern male diet is meant to domesticate you like a pet. We used to live off the hearts of the animals we hunted. Our ancestors sailed across oceans with nothing but rum and the very worst thing that happened to them was their teeth fell out and they died.

The bear is a friendly guide who serves as a signpost, a marker to describe where you're standing to the friends you're meeting, or a reminder of where you parked your car.
