Welp, something tells me I might be learning welding/soldering pretty soon. My mom paid a friend to install her hot water heater because she clings to her sexist beliefs that only men know how to do these things, despite how many times I have proven myself capable

Bill usually supervises everything I do, but he does go collect his share (he calls them 'union dues') of scritches from other kitties during their cuddle times. So Gary stepped in, he says "hey baybee, wassup?"

Op, we got a certified cheese hound here. Look at his eyes locked on that cheese.
My cats are all cheese hounds, but Bill needs an intervention (there is cheese on the pasta)

I just love the shoulders on the Golden outfit!
I'm a crafty costume making mom but my daughter has chosen commercial characters the last few years (which is fine, I want her to pick what she wants without pressure). I did the boots & the braid though

I have a lot of extra purple hair & the style was harder to do than the videeos implied😹. I bought the costume, the shoulder spikes actually stick up but you can't see that so well in the pic. But I made the boots, well boot covers that is. She had a blast!

I took the pin-up girl tattoos from the labels of Sailor Jerry's Rum & put them in frames to decorate my master bathroom. This was before my daughter when we could afford mid range rum 😸

Bill is also staying hydrated! He has started to join the kittens in demanding a sink drink, which he hasn't done since we moved in with my mom a few years ago #CatsOfOranjtober

Oh goodness, I hope you are feeling better soon. Try to keep up with eating & sleeping enough, even though it probably feels impossible.
Here are some kittens staying hydrated 😹 Lancelot & Lilibet

I wore my #Plundercats Air shirt to pick up the kittens from their spay/neuter this afternoon.
They remind me of getting drunk on vodka & Redbulls- too antsy with kitten energy to be still, but then they stumble when they take off running 😹😹😹

My Plundercat Air shirt arrived today! After I wash it I think I'm going to take in the sleeves & armholes(which is the part I was worried would be too tight for my flabby upper arms😸), to fit me a little better. I'm still glad I got the 2XL because it fits my chest/belly

My youngest fur children just before they shook all the water off their heads into my face
Lilibet is the tiger, her fur is really soft & almost downy. Lancelot is all black, with silky smooth fur.

I can't go to the bathroom without them & they insist the sink &/or tub faucets are turned on. They have stolen the drain cover out of the sink & Grammy is gonna be pissed 😹

My daughter is going to be Rumi from KPOP Demon Hunters & the yellow jacket is beyond my sewing skills, so I have to buy it.
Anyway, here is the astronaut costume I made for her in Pre-K the helmet & jet pack light up!

Bill calls it a manifesto.
I've looked over it, I'm not impressed. Just a lot of cat talk about kitty rights to tuna, his economic theory of catnip, belly rub consent, & drawings of his butthole.

I'm thinking of ordering the shirt in light blue or pink, but I can't tell if the design includes the white box when printed on colored shirts, or if that's just the way the website demonstrates designs on different colors.

Oh man, I should have been taking my iron! I'm going to need to sell my plasma to afford multiple copies of the worst possible picture of my normally photogenic child that I won't even see until they deliver those abominations in 6 weeks.
Anyway, here she is pickpocketing her daddy as an infant 😸
