Place until after he was diagnosed.

But he was an angel at the vet's, sweet as pie, despite screaming like he was being murdered when we walked through the door... lol.

Cat tax.

I need to fire one of my band mates. She's cute, got a girl Ramone thing going on with her long shaggy dark hair, but she can't get through a practice without failing asleep, and she yells nonstop while I'm tuning up. She's just not pulling her weight in the band at all.

A small, shaggy black dog sleeps on a bed on her back. There's a bright yellow tambourine laying on top of her belly.

Lol yeah. He is a very early riser and I'm not a morning person. And he's very insistent about what he wants.

Omg yes! her stripe pattern is so gorgeous! She's so swirly and just beautiful! As soon as I saw her I was in love ❤️

It rained all day here. Tejón has a very particular schedule he likes to follow and the rain messed up his whole day.

Cue a 100lb dog having a complete meltdown because I didn't want him to get soaked.

The kittens were adorable though and I got some quality cuddles.

Please calm down and relax. We're not quite ready for you guys to run free 24/7.

Thankfully they're all using the litter robots though so we don't have to worry about transitioning them from a standard litter box later.

Here's Beanie from tonight.

I spent 20 minutes in real time in a fishing sim, and this is all I got. I had to release it.

It's barely even a fish.

I was trying to get him picking up a piece of kitty kibble to eat out of his paw but instead he decided to feed the dogs lol

I try to keep him out of the kitten food because he's gaining weight, but he does this... 🤷🏻

Final grades for Fall '24 are posted and while it was my worst semester in a long time, I'm not unhappy with my grades.

First semester of graduate school is in the bag!

A screenshot of my grades from university for the Fall 2024 semester. I got a B, an A, and two A-. This was for my first semester of my Master's in Public Health.

Did I just hear a call for cats? Here's Tuxi who is still mad that she has 3 brothers and now 3 little foster sisters.

Lol I bought a harmonica just because I thought it would be fun to mess around with, and it is.

Unfortunately, this guy, who takes zero interest in any other musical noodling, hates it. He just cries like he's in pain so I have to play outside.

This is Mickey... lol.

A black cat, sprawled on his back in a slightly collapsing box of stuff. He's looking at the camera as if to say "well, you're here. Pay attention to me! "

Tejón says he's very happy I've turned the electric blanket on.

Lol I'm one semester into grad school but my rug is a bit different.

A photo of the floor of my bedroom. The walls are orange, curtains and bedding are turquoise. The center and focus of the photo is the rug, which has a design of overlapping circles in various colors. There is a dog bed in the corner of the room, and a low shelf with games and a monster plant on top of it in front of a window.

Finished reading a short story about a pair of cursed slippers and this author blurb at the ending made me laugh.

A screenshot of an author's blueb at the end of a short story. The story was about a pair of cursed slippers given to someone's grandmother.

It says "Jeff Strand is the Bram Stoker Award-winning novel of about sixty books, including Dweller and Autumn Bleeds Into Winter.

He hopes that readers recognize that his story was pure fiction, and that fuzzy slippers are safe and comfortable. "
