You’ve got me wondering… was that on purpose (wrong work)

I believe it was.

This is why I refuse to use it. One of the first things I do with any new computer, email, etc. is disable the damn spellcheck. If I make a typo, life will go on — but I certainly don’t want a computer program second-guessing what it thinks I want to say.

Not the best photo of Jinks. He was sleeping in a dark corner and I didn’t want to disturb him. He’s six months old now and getting bigger every day, almost bigger than Buzzy.

Ollie is so funny. Just cut all of his nails while he was fast asleep on my lap. I doubt there is another cat on the planet that will let that happen. His paws / limbs are still akimbo from the process. lol

That’s good that he lets you clip his nails so easily. I had a Flame Point a few years back who I would hold in my lap and she would calmly let me clip her nails. No problem with her. She was much better that the rat terrier that I had whose nails seemed to grow very fast and was always needing them clipped. I had to take her to the groomer where I would put a muzzle on her before her nails were clipped. The groomers were fast and efficient when clipping her nails. Still, she would bare her teeth through the muzzle and growl the whole time.

New cat bed is a hit with 3 out of 5 cats thus far. Caught 2 of them.

Those look like a perfect Christmas gift for some folks I know in Florida who are volunteer feral-cat rescuers - may I ask if you’d mind sharing where I can get me some?

No problem, here ya go: Amazon link.

That’s not my product and not an affiliate link. It is an “international seller,” and I doubt that it’s made in the USA. But it’s good quality and should last a while, and sure seems popular.

Well, it should be durable but PLEASE do not invite people over to visit if you have anything that big running around –

This is Porthos, peeking out from under an Afghan that my wife made.

Interesting photo of a cat on a glass table. This is what a “cat loaf” looks like from the underside.

Possums are awesome but maybe not in your garage.

I’ve only dealt with an opossum once. I was riding a motorcycle, it ran out in front of me, and froze.
It was a narrow street and I had a passenger on the back, so swerving was not safe. And there was not anywhere near enough room to come to a stop. So I slowed down as much as I could prior to impact.
All it had to do was move one foot to either side.

I suspect that I contributed the evolutionary pressures that lead to a race of smarter opossums.
