This little shot got fixed on Monday. The only side effects: extra cuddly and willing to sleep anywhere, including next to the evil dog and on top of a box of pencils.

This fucking kitten ran away at 5am yesterday, right at the start of a huge blizzard and ice storm. I found him at 5am this morning under the neighbour’s porch.
For some reason he is VERY snuggly today and absolutely runs whenever the back door opens now.

Proud to be anti-fascist. Fascism has NEVER been peacefully voted out of office. The only way to remove any dictator is by overwhelming and unrelenting force.

Gremlin's 1st vet check and needles were today. And it turns out my husband and I were wrong: Gremlin is a boy. 50 years old and got a lot go learn about pussies I suppose.

Burrito time to acclimate the feral demon out of little Gremlin. She almost immediately fell asleep.

In May 2010 Pandora and Chelsea entered the world together. At 10am this morning we made the heartbreaking decision to let them exit the world across the rainbow bridge together.
We had 15 amazing years with these two silly girls. But they are off on adventures with brother Braxton again.

Sisters Pandora and Chelsea are 15 years old and will be sent across the rainbow bridge tomorrow. We did everything we could to avoid it, but quality of life is always more important than quantity of life.
I’m rather heartbroken.
