The local election is November 4th (tomorrow) but there was a line of people at 3 pm today at City Hall dropping off their ballots. No Federal candidates at all and there was a line. Amazing. 🇺🇲

Charlie says it's #Caterday and this whole knitting thing needs to stop. My rules violate his freedom of speech and pursuit of happiness.

(Translation: I won't let him play with the cable on the circular needles or rend the yarn.)

My Republican cousin posted this. We no longer have a common understanding of truth and I think that is the thing I resent most about this regime.

Charlie has claimed this crinkly red bag since I abandoned it. By "abandoned" he means I turned my back to grab my phone for less than a minute. He doesn't make the rules. He just enforces them. #CatsOfBlueSky

My fellow children of malignant narcissists & I are so sorry that the entire world is having to experience what we went through during our childhoods. Y'all are going to need a lot of therapy. To get you started, here is a Karpman Drama Triangle. An adept narcissist 🍊 can hit all 3 stages in an hour

Social Security insolvent by 2035.
Medicare Part A by 2033.
Do they think seniors are sitting on secret hordes of money or do they want them to die miserable deaths from homelessness, starvation and illness? There will be effects for those who can get by - fewer vacays, golf, manicures, theatre etc

Just curious, but do Trump, Musk, and the other oligarchs consider ten years of financial pain "short term"?
Or are they lying?
Or are they just stupid and about to discover "be careful what you ask for; you might just get it"?

I wonder if Trump has to provide Doge with the list of 5 accomplishments?

Charlie Longshanks did engage in a fierce battle with a piece of yarn this morning and, to be honest, I'm not sure who won. #cats

Hello, Old Friend. I've missed you!

(It is called the Forbidden Blanket because Charlie doesn't allow Daisy on it. It's been in storage until the nights got colder.)

My power has been out for 28 hours from the bomb cyclone. Daisy had the brilliant idea to warm her nose in the heat from a candle. Now she has only one eyebrow.

I'm charging up my wireless lights & electric charging devices because we're supposed to have high winds Tuesday.

Just think, if the next president has his way we will have to pay a subscription service to get NOAA weather reports

Early voting started on Friday. Today is Sunday. Y'all, there was a line! Usually there isn't a line even at 7 pm on the day the polls close.

This is Daisy, Rogue Princess at Large, age 3 years old. She is Charlie's foster sister. Charlie's birth mom took her in after her mother abandoned her litter. A tough start to life hasn't held her back. #cats
