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.
@kayla very cute kitty!! I attempted shelters for mine, though only insulated as I have no way currently to heat them. Luckily, it was not a terrible winter as the presences of the raccoons(in addition to Smeagol, the are 4 others born this summer + occasionally their mothers) meant that none of the kitties stay in my yard at night. They still had tons of some fun with the catnip I threw in the shelters.
@jared I could not find the video I wanted to share showing off my creation. I took it apart and insulated it with extra home insulation I had lying around. I even threw a temperature sensor in there, an outdoor cat (low heat) heating pad, hand warmers, and a hot water bottle LOL.
@jared And with all these details about cats, I cannot leave out sweet Kyoshi! I’m traveling for work a lot now. I’m currently away, and I miss them!
