Mastodawn

Republicans and other would-be election stealers like to spin tales of Hillary driving around raiding your mail box for your mail-in ballot and handing them off to a room full of vaguely turban-wearing brown people for fake voting, but this is what most REAL vote-by-mail interference looks like (other than Republicans).

Belated #Caturday. Notty Cat stalking my Lego building yesterday. After much discussion, I finally had to lock her out of the room to "help" with paws under the door. She just can't help herself about some things...

I'm a little late for #Caturday, but here's a picture I really like of Notty Cat and I hanging out on my recliner.

My wife came in from her outside office and reported that the back door had been standing wide open. I immediately panicked thinking Notty Cat had escaped. Chris assured me she had looked and the cat was, surprisingly inside. But when I went to find the cat, I realized she HAD been outside, because when I petted her, she was wet from the rain. I toweled her off, and now she's resting from her brief adventure.

Turning on faucets for the cat. One of my many duties around here.

I'm a big fan of "talking pet" videos with the sound buttons. Curious, but even a tiny starter kit is expensive. But in Goodwill I found a set of 8 knock-off buttons for under $10! The experiment begins! She's very curious, but the "push button with paw" training proves to be surprising hard. Think she will figure it out fairly soon.

Notty Cat and Susy Cat update. Notty has been on the bed the last two nights, and is getting braver about coming up in other parts of the day, though it definitely is still Susy territory. I've been giving them treats on the bed together (separate servings though, as Notty is an aggressive chow-hound). Progress is being made.

A historic event last night as, after 9 months inside, newest rescue, Notty Cat (L) climbed into bed with Susy (R) and my wife and I. Things were pretty chill for both kitties, and both slept at least some. Dunno what happened in the night, but nothing that woke us up. Yay!

Dash Dino (not actually a dino) is good to have along when I'm traveling, but he's no substitute for my kitties, Susy and Notty Cat. I know they're being well cared for at home, but I hope they're not too upset at my absence or causing too much property damage...

The fire department had to yank out our stove and cut a hole in the wall to rescue our cat Notty, who had somehow gotten down from the attic, fallen, and wedged herself UPSIDE DOWN at the base of the 1940s lathe & plaster wall. The kitchen is a disaster, but Notty seems fine, if understandably traumatized. So are we!
