There’s very loud construction taking place next door, involving a drill among other things, and frankly at this point I probably need to be leashed or crated (ong when will it stop when will it stop I can’t take it anymore) three cheers for Lotus!!
Everyone cheer for Lotus who did not have to be leashed or crated when a man from the city water came, even when he used a DRILL.

Cookie update. Almost 3 weeks & we're at that staying 5 ft from me at all times phase. Here he is judging the way I clean his litter box. He has opinions. Cats are amazing. This morning all of his cat toys were lined up at his water bowl. Sharing? Drowning? Love this guy so much. Hugs to you all ❄️💙❄️

McKellan has been taught “sit” on the rug to wait to go out. He’s meeting the exact letter of the law sitting on the rolled up rug

The snuggle is real.
She’s being super cute just as I have to leave for the office. Sigh.

Thank you so much!

Because everyone deserves to be safe, and warm, and with their broken places made whole. Even, as some people refer to them, “just another street cat”.

And if not us, who?

Thank you. 7/7
