O.T. – Ikini’s birthday was yesterday. this was posted very late last night: “Today is my birthday. I spent 2 1/2 hours getting and installing a cable box for my new housemate, my dear friend C. That was followed by 3 hours of installing a new modem and then trying to get my internet connection back. I have no idea how I lost the connection (which I noticed because my smart thermostat wasn’t working). They couldn’t confirm my identity. I took over my mother’s account and a crucial piece of information was not updated to my info. I had to get out my mother’s death certificate to find her information before they could change it to mine. Sigh. I did get several nice cards. So, happy birthday to me. I am 3/4 of a century old today.”
I came in too late yesterday, so I’ll add my bit today.
If you live in some barbarous, god-forsaken, hell-hole where the RSPCA doesn’t operate and declawing is legal, check that cat is desexed, chipped, and vaccinated. (The RSPCA does all these as a matter of course.)
Family should meet and greet cat before you decide. Talk quietly and calmly (not squeaking) all the time you are taking cat home. Give the cat plenty of opportunity to hear everyone’s voice.Offer food as soon as cat gets home. During the first few days, everyone should offer food, so that cat gets the idea that everyone is friendly.
I want you folks all to know, Gandalf the amazing PTSD house-feral has developed a new habit of sleeping UNDER the covers with me. I’m so tickled; it’s been yonks since I’ve had an undercover kitty.
Hi Orbsters, I’ve been away this week. On Monday we took my best little fur baby buddy, our black cat Lucky, to UT Knoxville’s vet center so he could receive a radiated iodine treatment for his hyperthyroidism. A 3 hour drive, but they are one of the leaders in this treatment, the only 100% cure currently for hyperthyroidism. He was on the waiting list at several centers, and UT had a last minute opening so we jumped on it. He had the treatment Wednesday, and has been doing well in isolated recovery (due to the radiation). I’ve never been apart from him since he chose me as his Cat Dad 12 years ago, so having to be apart for several weeks is difficult…. but I know it’s the best thing for Lucky. Hopefully we’ll have him back in time for a truly joyous U.S. Thanksgiving. Please keep Lucky and our family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you all!

Lupin with feet up on the desk showing toebeans. Who’s going to “squeee!” first?

Now Elvis, you know how this works. Even if you know something is true, you still have to be able to prove it before putting it on the air!

I love Lupin’s relaxed posture, loose neck tie, crossed feet and little pink toebeans in the second panel!

Declawing is unforgivable.

Like “The Major” in “Ghost in the Machine”, he’s only invisible when he’s naked.
