Harpo's Hero's Journey
Rain Surname published a post on Ko-fi
ko-fi.com
Here's the story of how the sickly, runty kitten I gave a home to 16 years ago kept me from becoming homeless & then gave us a new home. We moved into it on the 4th anniversary of the #cancer surgery I did not expect him to survive.

Groucho yelled at me to stop playing with the kittens & come downstairs to play with him
These days, that yell mainly just means "carry me around the house while showering my head with tiny kisses," so it was great to see my little old man get the zoomies #CatsOfBluesky

Here's a thread about one of my previous fosters.
Watching them with Gummitch & Groucho, I thought they might keep trying to make friends with Hermana until she caved, rather than get bullied into submission, which happened the last time he tried to introduce a new cat.
It worked! #CatsOfBluesky

That five-part Harpo series I recently posted only covered the wee hours of the morning. He got going again during breakfast.
Episode 6 of 2.10.24, from one of several unusually productive days that I had set aside to turn into series. #CatsOfBluesky

Health update: they did a CAT scan, & said the aneurysm doesn’t look like it’s going to rupture right this minute, but they are making an effort to expedite treatment. I have a consult with the surgeon on the 1st, then two other specialists on the 2nd. #CatsOfBluesky

This was in my memories from last year:
left photo - Flower in the dog cage in the basement at the old house in medical quarantine last year after she was trapped.
Right: beloved family member today in the new house on a cat bed on the bed.

This is what I mean when I say “my collection”. Real photos, postcards, slides, and film negatives plus a box of glass plate negatives. Not screenshots of things found online.

I don't have any tortie cats, but I do have recent pictures of the love bug & chaos goblin I fostered a couple years ago, who are now officially named Bug & Goblin. #Caturday #FosterKittens

You'd think he might be a little timid considering he was found at such a young age with terrible injuries and had to endure eye removal surgery, but no. He is a bold and utterly fearless little tornado prince of chaos.

I’ve never really wanted to keep any of my fosters, but I guess I’m making up for lost time, because I want to keep all seven of these guys! #Caturday #fosterkittens #adoptdontshop

Groucho doesn’t really mind the #fosterkittens as long as they respect his boundaries, and as long as I put them away if they won’t. I think they’re beginning to make the connection between antagonizing him and having to go back upstairs.

Life pro tip: a role of butcher paper is a great cat toy. It will last a long time, as this is just a small fraction of it. #FosterKittens
