I was outside till midnight calling for Lola and didn't hear her meow once. Poor baby! So glad Lola was found because it's going to be colder tonight. Now, she will be safe inside. I was going to use this photo on the "missing" poster just in case one was needed. I'm so happy she's home!

Weird. I looked for video on Instagram of Joe Biden ringing the bell for completing his cancer treatment. His IG accounts don’t seem active so I searched for Jill Biden’s account and this Meta AI thing popped up. What sort of game is Meta playing here?

Lola threw up in her old bed so I got her a new one. She seems skeptical about it, been sniffing around it, got in it for about 20 seconds then got right out. Too soon to have buyer’s remorse, but I’m wondering if she’ll dig it if/when the temps cool down. #caturday

For reference to how big these acorns are, here’s one I found in my yard that a squirrel broke into.

I have bur oaks in my front yard, and they have enormous acorns this time of year that squirrels ❤️. This morning, I caught a squirrel making off w/ the nut (?) of the acorn after making a mess demolishing the shell on my backyard patio. My cat was like, “Dang, look at this mess!”

According to my weekly electricity update email from City of Austin Utilities, the city is moving forward with its new logo that everyone seems to hate.

I’ve been sick this week and my cat has been keeping me company. She’s such a good cat. 😂

Since it’s #caturday, anyone know what’s going on with my cat’s chin? Loss of hair and little red spots have appeared recently. Maybe she’s been scraping it too much because it itches?

There seemed to be something wrong with it. I’ve never been able to get this close a wild bunny! They usually run away really fast. In fact, I was getting a little annoyed that it wouldn’t let me pass it. 😂
