Cat acquisition question?

How do you go about acquiring a new cat?

We usually let the "cat delivery system" work it's magic and one just shows up.

However, I suspect that an adult would be disruptive to our current situation, and a kitten would be better. (As I write that I realize how delusional that sounds) What if the CDS, sends us an adult?

So do you all seek a new adoption out, or just keep an eye out for a "cat in distress" ?

Good Morning MSTDN,

Sunny day in ohio, warm for Dec, I am going to try and organize the piles of "stuff" laying around the yard.

Rocks for walls, rocks for steps, massive pile of leaf compost for garden projects, various piles of pots, unused pallets, you get the picture.

Living in town, where I can't just light a fire and make stuff disappear is the most frustrating thing.

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom

Indeed, Simon LeBon, Sting and Bono had a point there...

So happy Chimes of Doom to those that celebrate.

Cat Stuff,

Our Stroowaffel has complicated ear formation. "yoda ear"?

It is pretty crowded in there. Leading to wax buildup, bacteria, fungus and discomfort.

We usually do a weeks dose of oral antibiotics when he is in obvious discomfort.

As a wild child, only recently tamed his trust is easily broken so we tread lightly.

But today we tried 50MG gabafentin, and after that I was able to massage some ointment in manually. He did not run and hide for a week like he might have !!
❤️ 🙂 🐈

So glad that I could just google it out of curiosity rather than actually live it.

My luck with regards to timing is ridiculous.

Good suggestion, perhaps I CAN get to buddhism through rock and roll.

I might have to give it another shot.

Fun fact: When I would hear Instant Karma on the cheap speakers of a little radio in the 70's I had no idea what John was saying.

I misheard it as Vincent Garmo's gonna get you, and I pictured Vincent Garmo as some neighborhood bully or troublemaker.

@doc_dead

The journey to Buddhism through Rock and Roll failed to make significant progress.

After Shambala by Three Dog Night my search went to terms like Karma, or reincarnation, and so "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder seemed fitting.

But Karma has been so popularized that it ends up in breakup songs and in other random places, so the journey got mired in a karmic overload.

So it ended there.

How about I stuff it with a ball of dry** tissue paper. Then attempt to shoot it with a massive puff of air like it was a spitball in a straw.

**Why dry?
Because I am an adult.

@thesizzler

At first I think, that is a lot of liquor, but then again with 72 eggs it is a lot of eggnog

I won't be posting much, my plan is to learn Buddhism strictly by listening to pop music from the 70's mostly. But any era will do.

So anyhow, I just learned via Three Dog Night, on Sirius XM classic Vinyl that we walk to Shambala, and it is groovy.

I guess it will rain, in a good way, in terms of washing troubles and shame.

Anyhow, in a few songs I shall be Buddhist, talk to you then.
