On #ThrowbackThursday, #ChristmasDay Rowan and D’Artagnan want to share their very first Christmas photo. Merry Christmas everyone! 🐈 🐈🎅🤶🎄

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Christmas photo from 2013 of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torby cat and D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. This is their first Christmas after they were rescued. They’ve settled in for a nap in their cat tree after an active morning playing with new toys. Rowan is curled up in a ball on the tree platform and D’Artagnan is curled up in a basket bed on the tree. In the background is our Christmas tree with the lights on.

Best Christmas present EVER!

🤔Supporting a separatist agenda; Supporting the NWC; Supporting coal mining; Supporting miss use of Public School funds. The list continues. You deserve recall.

I disturbed D’Artagnan’s nap, on #WhiskersWednesday 😾 but
he forgives me because it’s #ChristmasEve.

A closeup photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying upright in the top bed of the cat tree. He was asleep when I approached, but he woke up as I took the photo. His eyes aren’t fully open making him look a little unhappy about being disturbed.

It’s not all rainbows and unicorns in cat sibling land, on #TussleTuesday. D’Artagnan is having a fight with Rowan. Rowan started it!😸No kitties were injured.

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat and Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torby cat. They’re having a play fight, that Rowan instigated. She’s lying on her right side on the wooden floor defending against D’Artagnan’s retaliation. He’s got his ears in airplane mode and his mouth is open and he is swiping his right paw at Rowan as he play lunges at her. Rowan is swiping up at D’Artagnan with her left paw. No one was injured during the play fighting.

Rowan is checking out a package. She’s a bit dubious there are eggs inside, but is taking possession just in case.🐣😸

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. Our daughter received a package with Christmas presents inside. She hasn’t opened it, but placed it by the Christmas tree. Rowan is sitting upright beside the box that reads “Thirty dozen Fragile Broiler Hatching Eggs, Handle with care” with an arrow pointing this end up. Rowan is rubbing her cheek on the upper corner of the box to mark it as hers. There might be a bit of scent left over, from before it was reused for shipping.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torby cat and D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. They’re lying together side by side in the top bed of the ground floor cat tree. Rowan to the left of D’Artagnan. Rowan’s front paw is next to D’Artagnan’s head. Both of them are looking at me as I take the photo, but they’re definitely ready to hibernate.

As we step into 2026, fellow #Albertans, let's choose the door that leads to real change: "RECALL" and "Reclaim Rebuild". In a year where we can no longer afford to "Disengage and Hope It Turns Out OK," it's time to courageously open the door marked "Fight for What's Right". #abpoli #ableg

Forgot to check my mail box on Friday. I checked today and what do you know? Our UCP MLA Justin Wright, sent a Christmas card. It was a picture of him and his adoring family.......aaaaawwwwwww! As I burned it and watched it go up in flames, I felt sorry for his family. Then😂🤣😂🤣😂

@katfromthehat.bsky.social taking signatures for the Recall Danielle Smith petition. 26 of us including @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social are down the road drawing attention to the citizens initiative to have Smith and Wright recalled. A bit chilly with windchill -24C (-11F).

#RecallSmith #ableg #abpoli
Photo of @katfromthehat.bsky.social at her table set up at McBrides Bakery in Medicine Hat. She sitting at the table with a banner reading "Recall Danielle Smith Brooks-Medicine Hat". Another sign reads "Sign the petition here" with a blacked out silhouette of Danielle Smith with a Recall approved stamp on it and #daniellesmith. Photo of protesters holding large red letters spelling RECALL in front of Justin Wrights MLA office. Others are holding recall themed signs. It was fairly cold so everyone is bundled up and warm. Two protesters in front of Justin Wrights MLA office holding signs, one reading "Corruption and Incompetence Resign" and the other reading "UN Compassion Party" The first letter of each word spells out UCP, to indicate we don't think the UCP is United, or Progressive based on their policies. It also has a photo of Danielle Smith. Photo of all the protesters along thirteenth avenue and a table set up to collect signatures for the Daniell Smith recall. One of the protesters is wearing a white shirt with #Recall Danielle Smith, Surgery Gate referring to the UCP idea of having private for profit surgeries being funded to do surgeries at our expense. Surgeries that can't be handled by our Public Hospitals due to lack of doctors and funds.

“It’s #caturday, so that means I get extra treats, right?”

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Overhead photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torby cat. She’s sitting upright at the bottom of the ground floor stairs. As I approach the stairs she looks up at me with hopeful eyes. I suspect she wants some extra treats because it’s Saturday.

D’Artagnan found a sunny spot Thursday morning, after hiding all day Wednesday, during the blizzard.🙀

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. This was taken Thursday morning. He’s on the middle platform of the ground floor cat tree. The sun is shining through the window on him. He’s curled up with his head upright facing the sun and his eyes closed. His legs are stretched out like a sphinx’s and he’s enjoying the change in weather from Wednesday when we had damaging winds with snow. He was frightened from the wind noise and was hiding most of the day.

“This view is held by a vast majority of Albertans and Canadians”?!?! Is that right, Danielle?

I believe the VAST MAJORITY of Albertans and Canadians would very much like you to go to your vacation home in Panama and never, ever come back…like a bad smell.

I hate this person. HATE. HER.
Crap and disinformation being spewed by the premier of Alberta, as usual. FB post.
