My vet of many years had a framed poster that said "Cats have staff and dogs have owners." Euphrosyne would agree! #Siberiancats

Euphrosyne does not like me putting any hats on her head but she is a little wizard though. Her furmal name from the cattery is Charodey Euphrosyne where charodey means wizard or sorcerer in Russian. Here is her latest picture from late September #siberiancats #catsofbluesky

Thank you. Just suspended another Ugandan dog rescue scam: @michaeldogsshelter.bsky.social. This is the third time in less than a month for this same scam. The scam changed from PayPal to Donorbox. BMS suspended it while I was still reporting, so before a #SpotTheScammer post.

What do you brush Bertie with? I use a medium/coarse greyhound comb on Euphrosyne. She does not like combing so she gets half a tube of Churu when we are done. I used the same comb on the Maine Coon before her. For my long-haired cats before that, I used a slicker brush. A greyhound comb is better.

Euphrosyne does not like being combed so when we are done, she gets half a tube of tuna Churu despite all of her complaining. She is putting on her winter coat now. #siberiancats #catsofbluesky
