JaredYes, the important pieces of the next phase of Spooky Kitties Sciences were acquired as I had hoped. My plan to be ready by tomorrow might have been a bit of a stretch. However, I do believe I can setup something to reveal what I am planning tonight. Will work on moving things through out the week.
Announcement for my loyal readers of Spooky Kitties Sciences: I just finished a planning meeting for the next stage of testing! Timing is still up in the air on when I can actually start, but what I have planned will be tons of fun!

Lenny ZeltserLove them or hate them, SOC 2 reports have become table stakes for SaaS deals. But the framework leaves the vendor in control of the system boundary and auditor selection, which means the reports vary drastically in rigor.
I wrote about what that structural gap means for vendors trying to build credible programs and buyers trying to evaluate them:
2026-03-13 Time Capsule Pool Party Disappointment: testing so far has been inconclusive on the Catnip Pool Party. I put catnip in the water bowl, and there was no noticeable increase in the water bowl traffic. I still have everything but catnip to test, so I still might get some answers. For today, though, I am just going to leave the catnip as is, see what happens.

2026-03-13 Time Capsule Pool Party: when I looked at him through the door window, he had the look he gets after he has gotten a good huff of something he likes. I realized then that all of them, except my The Inspector, had also been spending extended periods of time drinking out of it. I thought that most of what I had put in there had been washed away the last time I dumped it, but, it doesn't look like it.

2026-03-13 Time Capsule Pool Party: at this point, the Catnip Whirlpools(which used to be the Catnip Ice Rinks), are filled with water from the snow melt since i last dumped them, and I didn't think about them much. Dorian's most recent visit, however, got me thinking, as I had missed that he had arrived because he had been sitting at the Pool that is sitting right outside my door for 5 minutes, periodically taking a sip.

2026-03-13 Time Capsule Party: as I hope some might recall, during the last snow snow, I placed a few Catnip Time Capsules around. A good chunk sadly blew away. Some, like the the window sill, continue to produce surprise Euler ears at the edge of the secondary cameras FOV. Lastly, some were unintentional, like the Catnip Whirlpool. That last one was supposed to be a proper Pool test, but it never properly froze.

2026-03-10 Tartar in Honeysuckle Sauce: the continuing wonder that is the Catnip Massage Chair has brought so much joy to the Spooky Kitties Ferals. While my time is short, I am continuing to go through my supply to test everything on it again. Today will be Tatarian Honeysuckle. Yesterday's was Ground Silvervine Fruit. Don't yet know the full extent of its success, I do know that Euler liked it enough to roll off the chair onto the grass twice.
2026-02-09 to 2026-02-09 Where I forgot the today was is not yesterday when writing: with the weather warming, I feared that I would not be able to find a replacement for kitties low of the rolling around in cat herb covered snow. None of the dried Catnip Whirlpools or Ice Rinks really took off(apart from the Dr. Professor). To think, the thing that would allow Euler to "fall" feet first off of something was sitting right there the whole time.

2026-03-07 Where I attempt to summon a Napasaurus Rex: and finally, we have a Euler on the chair! I think I might have unintentionally found the summer replacement for the Catnip Whirlpool/Ice Rink. The Catnip Massage Chair it will be deemed, I so declare! Once the Dr. Professor is finish with breakfast, I will be moving it over and performing whatever tests for the day on it.
