This looks worse than it really is. Chucky likes to be on his Papa’s shoulders and make bread on my higher back.
Depends on his mood. He signals this by standing upright on his feet, grabbing my knees and crying to be picked up.

Post.
For no political reason.
I have an assistant chef.
Everytime. Just watches and purrs loudly.
He also loves to be lightly pet, and watch his papa cook.
It’s his nature, I guess.
And the nose is highly active.
He smells everything.
Samples the proteins.
Just something Chucky loves to do.

Before it happens!
Time delays in my posts suggest I’m being reviewed. Never, ever, have intended to offend!
Post some tough questions. Post about my tough Marine life. Of course, I post about my tough 5 cats, who no one would adopt but we give them a wonderful home.
Say, “Hi!” if you still see me!

and are much easier to acquaint with and have good relations.

My question(s) for all: Why are the two groups so different? Sunnis a pleasure to meet, but the Shia are somehow angry about everything?

people about their lifestyle and religion. I’ve worked with and enjoyed relations with them. Shias, however seem to be unhappy, very grumpy people. Every one that I’ve met. And any topic about lifestyle, mine or theirs, starts to become hostile.

So my theory is: Sunnis are different than the Shia,

something to point out and ask a question about. On the map, is the related ratio of Shia and Sunni Muslims. And when I meet, talk with and learn about someone, I don’t sit in judgment until they say or do something offensive.
Theory: Sunni Muslims seem always to be inoffensive, but principled

People of Bluesky,
I honestly feel honored that you would follow me,I seek not fame, or money, or control of opinion.
Just a humble person who chooses to speak the truth.
As a reasonable person who has spent money and time in service to my country.
I speak. Without fear. Without favor.
Thank you.

Eats well. Extremely muscular. Very Big Girl. Huge. Lets other cats lick her. Very protective of her Papa.
Thought it best we keep her. Worried she was too dangerous with kids. Will still respond to commands to be aggressive. Just so happy she has a better life. And we can give that to her.

She was really tough to socialize again, and get her to stop hiding, but we got her tagged, healthy and loved again.
Can be extremely affectionate, likes Dad to groom her. Belly rubs require two hands. Some fractures and permanent limp, but she is in good shape again.
Eats well.

We picked her up, in a cage, only then finding the family had been using her as a trained rodent /animal assassin. They’d take her to friend’s houses, lock her in cellars or attics for a week to make her kill rodents. Or

Lucy Van Patten’s story. An ASPCA intervention / rescue.
Lucy’s had a tough life. For 20 years, we helped if the Society called us. Mostly for help with Coons and Forest Cats. Easy to place. Good family (with dog) cats. Great for kids.
Anyway, Lucy was not happy at her home. Living inside a
