So I am an animal rescue hero today. Well, “Hero” might be a bit strong. Maybe “super totally awesome cat rescuer” is more accurate. Perhaps “fool”. Noticed on Facebook and an ex-coworker had posted the question of: How do you get a kitten down from a 35′ tree? 🙁 The kitten in question is one […]

A couple of days ago I got a text from my wife saying something about “kitten” and “barn” and “abandoned”. Cutting a long story short, so yea, we got another kitten. She was abandoned (as best we can figure) at the barn (theory being a dumped kitten turns into a barn cat, probably makes those

I’m sitting here tonight minding my own business, adding a new feature to $latest_project. Firefly is playing a game on her computer with the bird sitting on her arm. Bird discovers hair band and starts playing with it, preening it and seeming to enjoy herself greatly. The humans are amused. Somehow then the bird manages
So my 9 year old tabby cat is feeling much better, far more himself. No more conehead either, which makes him seem way less pathetic as well 🙂 Here’s a pic of him today with his side all shaved. Stitches are coming out tomorrow I think, Firefly took a few of them out already, and
