That's actually a slight improvement over waking up because the cat is throwing up...

Ugh. The temptation is real (I live on a residential road that's a shortcut between two highways) but alas, illegal [as far as I know]... Luckily, I'm also just within city limits and they recently started using photo enforcement that does seem to have helped slow down the worst offenders.

I was about to say how happy I was that my girls have outgrown the 3am zoomies when I suddenly remembered I was woken up by soft little momma-cat meows from the twelve year old at some ridiculous hour of this "morning"... 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😻

😳 And I thought the "join us" ads from my city and state 👮♀️ departments, which have been on my FB feed for *weeks*, were bad...

Still being researched, apparently. (My body already does this! As soon as a tick bites me, even the . ones, the spot itches. The trick is remembering to check—I once ignored the itch, kept scratching, and ended up with a dozen bites as a tick chomped its way across my stomach... 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️)

I asked my veterinarian about this years ago—apparently it doesn't work in humans the way it does in dogs. We did have a human version, very briefly, about 25 years ago. (According to the CDC website, production stopped in 2002 due to low demand. I believe it had other issues as well.) ☹️

💯 My new not-a-wagon SUV (ty, Ford) not only has a screen the size of a small tv (what was wrong with all the easy-to-find-and-use buttons and dials?! 🤨) but an app. An app. For my car. 😫 (I can drive w/out it. It's more for communica—ok, that's bad too, my car talks to me. Not literally! Yet... 😵💫)

Even with only the base layer (it's heavy if you go for all three! also, short attention span 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️) it makes a great looking, practical shawl. I added a border along the top plus a few rows of fun fur yarn to imitate a marabou feather collar. 😊

I hear ya. (Although I'm on the other side; I was very put out when Ford turned their SUVs into wagons—maybe as a response to Sub's success? 😆) Nothing wrong with wagons! I grew up in wagons. (dad had a Mercury & mom's Pinto counted, albeit a very small one 😉) Wishing your wagon many more miles!

Yep. Same tortie (well, technically a torbie, so Stealth Tortie) high on Tramadol—she somehow managed to get through a thick crate cushion cover and ended up lying in a cat-sized pile of bite-sized chunks of foam during recovery from hip surgery... 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

I once had a *tortie*, the queens of cattitude, who was only 5% trap... (My gray, though, was 100% trap—not that I ever recall him offering a belly in the first place.)

Given Madame on the left likes being swaddled and held close, I'd say Luna loves belly rubs. But then they're cats, so that logic is shaky at best...
