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!
@kayla glad to see you back!! How are the kitties?
@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.
@kayla here are two of the raccoons from last summer. No way to know if you Smeagol was one of them, though I
I have my suspicions. Two raccoons had children, a set of triplets and then the twins a short time later, which I discovered when I saw one of the moms with 3 children next to her, followed slowly by these 2. I suspect we're woken up unintentionally, and snuck to while their mom was still sleeping.
@kayla I think they took a nap outside their den and then decided to do some more wandering in the mid day. Ended up putting out water and watching them from a distance until they disappeared, which is likely around when their mother realized they were missing and grabbed them.
