“A sailor attached to utility squadron VJ-4 plays with kittens that were discovered in an equipment room at U.S. Naval Air Station Squantum in Massachusetts, 1942.” Original source is the National Archives but I found this in the book Cats in the Navy. www.usni.org/press/books/...

Black and white photo of a white man in white sailor's cap lying down on his stomach on a lawn, propped up on his elbows and looking down at three tabby and white kittens sheltered in his arms. A fourth kitten that is a black or grey tuxedo stands on his left shoulder.

I love her little paint dipped tail so much

My tortie cat Button asleep in her bed, her tail is spilling out over the edge and is curled into a perfect little loop. She's all over orange and black mottle, but the very tip of her tail is pure white

NEW: Judge Lane dismisses Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case with a 1-year bar to refiling, allowing Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss to begin going after his assets ecf.nysb.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

First, there is legitimate concern that remaining in Chapter 11 will result in
administrative expenses that would erode much, if not all, of the value of the estate. In reaching
this conclusion, the Court is mindful that “what’s past is prologue.” Said another way, there is
little reason to conclude that the Mr. Giuliani’s uncooperative conduct will change after the
appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee. Mr. Giuliani has failed to provide an accurate and complete
picture of his financial affairs in the six months that this case has been pending. Transparency
into Mr. Giuliani’s finances has proven to be an elusive goal despite the continued diligence and
extensive efforts of the Committee and the Freeman Plaintiffs. The Court sees no evidence that
this will change going forward with a Chapter 11 trustee. The Debtor has not even retained an accountant, which is the most rudimentary of steps. Such a failure is a clear red flag, as has been
previously noted by the Court months ago.

Also need to punish the fly by night jerkoff tree companies who show up and tell you, “Yeah these trees have diseases we gotta cut ‘em down,” even if they’re perfectly healthy.
