It's amazing how quickly the loving, trusting bond between a cat and their hooman happens. I can't imagine life without my sweet, smart, joyous, mischievous Tommy Tune! And the bonus is that every day he is more and more attached to me, his big brother kitties, and his forever home.

Meet the newest member of my family: Tommy (renamed after my late brother). I adopted him from the Wyoming County NY SPCA. He's about 2 years old and was rescued from a hoarding situation.
He's sweet and devilish and settling in pretty well.

I'm going to try to be more active on Bluesky! Been a rough couple of months with losing my old boy Blake (kitty), struggling with the flu & all the chaos & worry about what's going on.

A Kindle short by DM Denton:
In Depression-weary times, a little girl’s wish for a special doll touches a stoic heart. Through sacrifice and pure intent, giving her what she wants results in disappointment but eventually confirms that love and patience can work magic.
