We logged our daily vote today. It’s a good thing Lottie has thumbs and can use a phone, otherwise we’d be fresh out of luck!

Hope's always in a good mood & often chatty.😸This SWEET girl was returned when her mom, a young woman who'd never before had a cat, discovered she was severely (it was medically risky) allergic. She loved Hope. It was a tearful return. Let's get Hope back in a 🏡! Pls share. 🧡

Long time supporters of ours had to say goodbye to their sweet Missy who lost her fight w/cancer at just 11. She had a strong internet presence & brought love & light to many.

Missy's family has generously sponsored LC3 adoption fees during the rest of Sept.

People who say about Charlie Kirk: "Didn’t always agree but appreciated some perspectives", which ones? Do tell? Which of his white supremacist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, violent, liberal-hating, black-woman-loathing, pedophile protecting, abusive perspectives did you appreciate?

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

We’re so sorry to hear about Missy. She brought so much joy to her followers and will be deeply missed. Sending love from our fur family. Cat mom and dad will likely hug us a little tighter tonight in honor of Missy. 💕
