Zelda naps on the upstairs perch with her chin resting on the sill. Just in case a birdeh shows up...

I ran across this video the other day. When Astra and I play our little 'capture the cat' game for her meds dose, I close the upstairs doors so her hiding options are fewer.

Zelda was still under the bed, so I thought I'd try this.

To my utter shock, it worked.

Someone is rather annoyed that I sneezed and disturbed her third nap of the morning. 🙄

I really wish that @netflix.com let you position the closed captioning to the top of the screen.

Because Zelda is a text blocker, it's a pain when I'm trying to decide what to watch. She blocks the descriptions.

Playing the 'capture the kitty' game for her med dose.
She threatened me with Laser EYEZ.

I enjoy the History Guy Channel on YouTube. He isn't on Bluesky that I can find, and I would normally repost, so I'm just sharing the link.

They discuss the history of #cats and ponder what the world would be like without them. Bleak as far as I'm concerned. 😹

About an hour after she gets her morning meds, Astra goes into a gabapentin haze, even after a year of being on it and not increasing her dose.

I put out a third bowl for the #ferals this morning because the new void stray mewled at me for the first time. Has been silent up to this point and would run from me. We're communicating now. If I can only get them to stop fighting with 'Shadow'.

Haven't named yet not sure of gender. 😉

The morning meds routine for Astra #tortie is to close the upstairs bedroom doors and corner her for capture before she can get under the bed.

Meanwhile, Zelda #tabby plays along as a potential victim. (I pick her up once in a while to keep her on point 😹)

Zelda is waiting patiently for her daily TV time.
We'll probably watch 'Stranger Things' later tonight.

I think Zelda may be OCD.
When she gets her lap rubbies, she has to face south. Never north.
When she gets her couch cuddles, she has to face west. Never east.

If she accidentally settles down in the wrong direction, she will immediately get up and do a circuit of the room

I'm at the point where I stopped daily sweeping and just pick up the dust bunnies.

Zelda hangs out on #Caturday while Astra hides from her meds.

Poor Astra loves her sunny spot under my desk. The balcony window faces east, and the sun is tracking more to the south now. It's a very narrow early morning window. She has other things on her schedule, so it's the south-facing window upstairs.

Zelda and Astra, a week after adoption. Their belly fur was growing back.
November 20, 2025 at 10:28 AM
Yesterday afternoon, I placed a couple of boards under the foot of the bed because the frame was too low for me to get under. Astra hid from her meds 3x a day for nearly a year.

The minor elevation helped me sleep like a rock. (bonus)

Today, Astra didn't know where to hide. #Catsky #Cats

Astra used to sit on the back of my chair while I was working. (Her sister Zelda would too and groom my bald head.) Yesterday Astra was reliving old times.

Zelda was demanding I move my butt over so she could have her spot to watch 'TV time'.
But Astra was already on my left with no room to move.

Walmart's cheaper Thanksgiving under Trump is just another lie.

Fewer items than the prior year under Biden, and swapping store brands for name brands.

It isn't cheaper. Just shittier. Like Trump.
