And here's Princess Flora ~ she has more than a few permanent resident brain cells, so frequently outwits Scout, especially when her favorite treats are involved.

Scout, my goofball. He may compete with orange cats for brain cell use but he's a snuggly sweetheart.

Yes, we need to fight politically ~ but we need this energy, too.

Foster kittens have arrived! Here's one practicing his dance moves.

He is ~ he was my first <and for quite a while only> foster fail. He definitely knows he's adorable ~ and that he can cute his way out of lots 😸

Scout also has a skunk stripe ~ and he loves sink [but not the water].

Crane branch ~ went back to Buffalo for my 40th h.s. reunion and just had to stop by to see the recent renovations.

I'm descended from just about all the people involved in the Salem trials <Sewall, way too many Putnams, Wilkins, and so many others> that I appreciate the coverage but find the lack of cultural context from other trials <that I also has ancestors involved with> frustrating 1/2.

Doing some rearranging and tidying. Flora likes the new location of one of the cat beds. Meant to be temporary during the chaos but it may need to stay there.

And she knows it 😆
She was a foster fail, for what I think are obvious reasons.
Here she is when she was younger, before she had really floofed out.

I got a box in the mail... and <as usual> Flora claimed it before I got everything out.

Hope you heal as quickly and smoothly as possible!

One more bonus picture: Scout with two other fosters ~ he's very good at teaching them to cat.

And, finally, Scout as the big brother to a foster kitten...

Grown up Scout with Hobbs.

Scout,when he was still a foster kitten, with his [late and much missed] brother Hobbs.

When you read the spines on the hold shelf and momentarily think you've managed to order two copies of the same book 🤓

I'm Mummy's second foster fail ~ she fostered me and my four ginger brothers starting at 3 days old. I stood out right from the start.

Hi! I'm Princess Flora Caledonia with my faithful companion Lady Esmeralda Floofytail. My human says I'm 1/2 tortie, 1/2Maine coon, and 1/2 Labrador retriever. I love playing fetch! Pictures never do my tail's magnificence justice. I'm also polydactal ~ 3 extra toes on both front paws.
