Today I'm joyful because I had a great time seeing old friends at Confluence this past weekend.

I also had fun doing panels with folks like Darrell Schweitzer, Michael Swanwick, Susan Dexter, Eric Leif Davin, Douglas Gwilym, Hazel Zorn, and Cat Rambo.

Before I left on the long drive home, Kennebec Megaira, a Smoke Tortie maine coon, joined me for the ride home to be part of our household. She's lightly used and about 7 years old.

So, this guy has been roaming for a bit (saw it in the cameras on Sep 16 first, and then again mid October). We asked around and neighbors say it's not theirs.

Male, Bengal (friends said it's not a mix), not neutered (trust me, I know dorks) and no chip found with our tool.

We've posted ads today and decided to start offering more than just food and water, he always seemed healthy but definitely looking like he's got no family. Maybe he was abandoned.

We're taking him to the vet this week and then we'll see, as we will initiate all legal actions required to submit the report.

In the meantime we keep it safe.

If someone lost him, they'll find him.

If he was abandoned, he found us.

I walked into the animal shelter and picked up literally the first cat I saw #caturday #newcat

He has taken residence in a bookshelf, but he will come out and play if I grab a toy

Oh dear Badger appears to love my feet as much as Mr Kitty did.

Wait, no. He is yet to lick my footwear.

So, this happened briefly. #cats #catsofmastodon #caturday #newcat #void

A cat chooses it's owner, Harry. It's not always clear why, but it's clear that we can expect a lot from you, no doubt!

This is Pickle Juice, aka PJ
We brought him home yesterday!

I’m about to go grab some pacifiers and try to make him a nursing mat! He’s over 2 months old but he is definitely missing his mommy.

I feel like I’m babysitting a breastfed baby who is trying to latch on to everything but won’t take anything 😩 It’s just constant screaming in my face until he’s so tired that he just passes out. Poor thingy 😭

Thinking about getting a second cat, to keep my first cat company when we're not home and have as a playmate. I read up on it, seems the best chance of Yeti getting along with a new cat would be if we got a female kitten. My aunt knows someone who's fostering kittens now. But... There's still a chance I could do everything the right way and they won't like each other anyway. I would feel awful for putting two cats under stress for nothing 😟

Well after a quiet second night of leaving the gate open, we decided to remove the gate entirely. Then we went out for a short walk, the cats did not appear to fight in our absence. Fingers crossed a detente has been reached. We have a movie to go to on Thursday night, I think it’ll be a last minute decision on whether to shut Stella away or leave them free to mingle. #CatsofMastodon #CatIntegration #NewCat
OK, Saria débarque à la maison !!! #NewCat
