If I will be reincarnated as an animal, I would choose to be a cat or dog with a rich owner (A/C is always on, unlimited food, comfy bed, anything a cat or dog could dream of). But of course, mostly, I want love and care as well.
This is why my Christmas cactus hangs from the ceiling. This morning, Shorty decided to lay under the tree and Beau wanted to join her. Maybe I should have hung the tree from the ceiling too…
All in all, knowing the Woman’s history with plants, is Iggy likely to do any damage that wasn’t coming that plant’s way in the first place? Let him have his cozy bed. Removing him will do more damage than leaving him.
It’s difficult to get a cat off of something they want to be on. My cat has taken to sleeping on my pillow, and when I roll over in my sleep and wind up with a face full of cat butt, getting her to budge feels more like moving six and a half tons than six and a half pounds.
Georgia : I wish you the happiest of birthdays, including the hope your next year will be a better one. I/we know this past year has had its personal shakeups in your life—on this, your natal day, you can bid the upsets farewell, and look to happier times to come, with the clowder and the kids. So, in brief:
Last week there was a discussion about compression sox and sox for wide feet or legs. I ordered a set (two pair came in the set) and they arrived while we were gone. They have the grippies on the bottoms.
Well, that was a mistake. These are WAY too big for my size 10 feet. They’re for a guy wearing anything from a 10 to a 13. Obviously, they don’t stay on my feet and are tripping hazard.
I can’t send them back because I wore and washed one pair.
My question is: is there anyone out there in TC land who wants them? I will be happy to mail them out to you.

(Courtesy of the late Douglas Adams and ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’!) I’m finally 42!! Surely one of the kings of nerd-number years. (Only to be topped by Bilbo’s 111? ) I’m looking forward to a brand new year and treated myself to the loveliest, most ridiculous coat this morning. I’ve been telling everyone it’s genuine Muppet (please, don’t panic—it’s actually faux Muppet!) and I love it. Thank you so much for all of the kind messages and comments on @gocomics and the BCN socials wishing me a happy birthday today! I read them all on GoComics this afternoon and they made me very happy! Here’s to 42!!!”
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful birthday wishes, everyone!! My day was very happy, and then after the kids bedtime a little of the “oh dang, day is done” late night sentiments snuck in, and I came here and read through all of these birthday comments and they lifted my spirits right back up! Thank you so much. I’m so grateful for all of you and cannot wait for another year of storytelling!

Lets face it, the plant now belongs to Iggy! At least Ora Z isn’t in on this. We all know she’d EAT EAT EAT the plant!

Now is the time to make a big, soft bed of cat grass for Iggy, and a cage for the Christmas cactus.

Happy Birthday Georgia Dunn From the Orb and Cass Elliot
There’s a new year starting
Wish the best from your orb friends
There’s a new year starting,
This one’s coming to an end
There’s a new beginning
We are with you all the way
And we are there for you
Through the cares of every day!
…….
There’s a new day dawning
Rising with a brand new sun
Yes a new year coming
Wish the best from everyone!
There’s a better year now
The one we’ve had visions of
Wishing you peace, wishing you joy!
Wishing You Love!

At the Royal Library
Elvis-Anum: Thanks for the Tengwar scrolls, Mag-Lor. Here are the ones I’ve translated.
Mag-Lor: I am so glad our story will be heard and remembered through the ages.
Elvis: There’s much to be learned passing traditions along through the written and spoken word.
Beatrixia: For example, Thomios’ recipe for blueberry scones. And where to find blueberries.
Sometime Later
Thomios: Dinner’s ready! In honor of Mag-Lor, we have Perfect Perch with new potatoes.
Elvis: What makes them new?
Thomios: They just arrived from the Cosmos Nursery. With the help of Kara and Vann.
Elvis: Did the Royal Procurers have a part in this?
Thomios: Yes. But remember the first rule of procurement.
The Royal Procurers: Never take more than you can lift!

A lady that he knew just came from her plant room
She smiled because he did not understand
Then she showed him some fancy cat beds ha-ha
She said they were the best in all the land
And she said:
No no no no, you can’t sleep here no more
I’m tired of sweeping dirt of the floor
No, thank you, please,
You keep squishing the leaves
And I just can’t repot it anymore

Iggy seems to be acting out that rather dicey idiom "possession is 9/10 of the law”. If the Woman sues, he’ll definitely win in Cat Court.

Oh, come on, Woman! You pamper those cats so much already. Just get Iggy a plant of his own and maybe, just maybe, he’ll leave yours alone.
