Kayla “Iacovino with an i”This is my new mastodon account! I’m actively migrating from my old geekstodon.com account. I’m excited to get back into the fediverse!
Jared@jared ❤️❤️ they are great! Compton just had SEVEN teeth removed. I’m sure he is feeling better for it - some were in bad shape. Here he is snoozing in my office after getting home from the vet. How are yours?
@kayla Penguin and Murphy are doing great as well! Prepping for Penguin's 13th birthday next Sunday. Both of them also got their first Silvervine stick and fruit, which they love.
@kayla and finally, my friend Smeagol the Raccoon. Smeagol is one of the raccoons born in my yard this summer. She still frequents my yard every night, and I have encountered her enough as I stand guard over the cats while they eat that Smeagol has slowly grown more comfortable with my presence.
@jared What a delightful update! So many kitties!! We also have a new outdoor regular, Leo. One of the few my neighbor has been unstable to trap-neuter-return. We had a hard freeze, and I wanted to make the best damn cat house (heated!) possible so no one else could be more enticing.
@jared I had seen him around but never by the door as in the last pic. I grew some fresh catnip inside and went outside one night to pot it. This apparently summoned him. He watched me pot it (wouldn’t come close to me). I let him see it and backed off. He essentially destroyed the thing by rubbing and biting it (I let him)
@jared He the became a regular. So back to the cat house… it is a magnificent creation. Much trial and error. I was worried he would not use it if there was only one entrance (he knows the TNR cages and avoids them!) so had to iterate. But eventually the cold weather made him brave.
