Question for #writers: do your #cats help or hinder your #writing?

My #luckyblackcat Sulu likes to lie on the desk between my arms and watch me type. He also accompanies me when I research abandoned buildings for my creepy Gothic stories.

What about yours? Do they also take a benign interest? Or they try to distract you when you want to concentrate, or do they lie on the keyboard when you're trying to write? Or are they too busy napping to care?

Meet my new 'kitten (still to be named). This 4-month-old black boy was found injured & paralysed. His kind rescuer took him to the vet for emergency teatment. He survived against the odds & even regained the use of his legs.
He was shy at first & hid under furniture, but my gentle adult cat Sulu encouraged him & told him that this is a good, safe place to live.
He now enjoys playing & cuddles. He adores his new big brother Sulu.

Which is the best Mastodon instance for connecting with other writers?

I'm thinking of switching to a different instances, and want to make the right choice.

Admit it, you are already smitten! πŸ₯°

I bet he would benefit from coming into your loving home.

❀️ This young kitten was found injured, nearly bleeding to death. A kind woman took it to the vet for emergency treatment and examinations.

He is fighting for his life. If he recovers, he will need a safe loving home... What do you think - would he be a good fit for my existing cat family?

3 months old, severely anaemic from old & new injuries. Organs and bones are undamaged. The next few are critical.
Please keep your fingers crossed and send healing vibes.

Update about Not-My-Cat. πŸ˜€

Remember the tabby who turned up in my home, like she lived here? I nearly adopted her.

After a week, she vanished. Then came back. Vanished again. Cycle repeated.

Turns out she had multiple 'homes' and used mine as a hotel for week-long luxury stays with all-you-can-eat buffet. πŸ˜‚

Not a hungry cat in need, but a manipulative freeloader!
I said 'no more' & blocked the hole she used to sneak in.

My story 'Nine Rings of Silver and one of Bronze' will be in the Gothic fiction anthology 'Spirits and Ghouls' (Flame Tree Press). The line-up has just been announced. https://bit.ly/3Toy21l It looks like my tale will be in fine company, and I look forward to reading the rest of the creepy tales.
