Our Kona is still being treated for #FIP, and we need to order new meds this week! If you're able to help/share in honor of #NationalBlackCatDay, it would be hugely appreciated. Every bit helps, things are so tight! #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats

Our Kona is walking around, circling us for food, & following his adopted sisters around! Halfway through his 85 days of meds & going strong! Funds have been stretched & stretched some more, but bills are incoming. Can you help him keep going strong? 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈 #Cats #CatsOfBlueSky

Our animals are in revolt. Guinness caught an iguana yesterday (both dog & lizard are fine) & now wants to live outside despite the extreme heat (we said no). Meanwhile, the kittens are parked in the kitchen demanding churus...cuz getting them w/ Kona's meds is no longer enough. 🙃 #Cats #Dogs
Two dogs perched staring out a foggy window, one yellow & sitting and the other black/brown and standing. A tuxedo cat is wrapped around the leg of the black-and-brown dog, trying to get him to play with her, but he's more interested in the wildlife outside (unseen in pic).

Kona & Guinness are less than impressed w/ the time I've spent at my desk for #WriteHive2025, but it's such a fantastic con, they'll have to be patient!

Little Kona could really use your help this #Caturday. He's battling #FIP, and finding the right combinations of meds has been a nightmare. Bills are piling up, & we need to order new meds soon. Please help if you can, & please share his campaign.

Here's a real-time photo of my boss (one of them) taking a nap, thus allowing me to participate in #HorrorWritersChat.

I'm a freelancer, so I report to Hart & my other felines. If turning monstrous, he howls for an early dinner and bats madly at my hands while I try to type. Claws out, fangs out.

Here's our sweet Kona, my horror lap kitty, telling his canine sister Charlie to be quiet. He's been sick lately, so we've got an ongoing gofundme (see below--hope you don't mind me adding it with the pic?), but he still takes amazing pics.

Kona's new meds? $487 for a 15-day supply. If there's any way you can help with a small donation, please help. This kitten is my baby & means the world to us. We just have to get him better.

His favorite episode is, of course, "Dog Dean Afternoon" -- he may be a cat, but he loves his dog pals, Guinness and Charlie. (Yes, that is him, snuggled beside Guinness' giant head.)

Kona's still fighting #FIP & it's been a rough week. This #Supernatural blanket is his favorite thing, though. #SPNFamily, here's a smile! Fall in love w/ him like we have & help him keep going? Every bit helps! #SPN #BlackCats #CatsOfBlueSky #AlwaysKeepFighting

Just $75 needed to get us to 3k & finish cost of covering Kona's June medical bills! (Or $275 if we get really hopeful & add in the cost of buying his meds later this month.)

Can you help a #rescuecat in need?

Our little #voidcat Kona is on new meds & doing better every day! With expensive meds and vet bills coming due, though, every single donation makes a huge difference. Can you #help? Please share and donate! 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈😿

Our Gray had the best whiskers ever! We lost her when she was about 17, but if she were still here, she'd be asking you to help our Kona live a long life so his whiskers can be just as worthy! Help him fight #FIP?

It's #Caturday, and our little Kona is still fighting the good fight against #FIP. This is how we were watching tv together last night, & we're just hoping you can help him keep going. New meds ordered as of yesterday! #Help #CatsOfBlueSky #CatLovers #BlueSkyCats #BlackCats gofund.me/533f2d05

Kona had more bloodwork today, but he's sleeping off the stress now. Maybe you could help ease the stress w/ a share/donation? Here he is w/ his big sis Charlie, reminding her she can't always be the center of attention. #BlueSkyCats #Cats #BlackCats #CatLovers 🐈‍⬛ 🐾 www.gofundme.com/f/help-kona-...

Stove is so handsome! This is our Kona (with his tail over dog Charlie's nose, to tell her who's boss!). He loves all people, cats, & humans. He's also pretty sick right now & we could desperately use help w/ shares/donations if anyone sees this & can help with a share/donation. gofund.me/0f4f184b

Just posted an update on Kona! It's going to be a long journey, but these first weeks are going well! Please, if you can, donate and share his GoFundMe and help us fight #FIP. Every share and donation mean the world. 🐈‍⬛🐾

Please, if you can, donate, or at least share this message. Every donation is a huge help in this fight against #FIP!

Poor Guinness somehow strained his ankle (probably chasing rabbits or playing) and required a vet visit...but in return, he gained a milk mustache.

Guinness' goal is to eventually become long enough to claim the entire sectional for one nap. I'm starting to think he's capable... #Dogs

Funny. I'd dreaded rebuilding here post-bird-spiral. But re-finding mutuals here, re-connecting as fast as possible, and feeling the relief in the air... It feels pretty damned good. Thanks, @serpymatt.bsky.social, for bringing me in. Time to relax, maybe...

I'm here! And I promise to get active soon with pet posts and writing posts and all that. Consider my account a blue-sky work-in-progress for the moment, but say hi to Guinness while you're waiting for me to catch up.
