EVERY BIT OF THEIR HAPPINESS IS DISPLAYED IN MUCUS AND DROOL.

wow and you act like this is not how many humans also react to emotions

Braum is both gross and absolutely perfect. I hold these truths in my heart

She wanted attention, I wanted DbD.

I’m sad but my foster kittens make it a little better.

Jasmine (poor baby had had a rough week between a hernia and weight loss, but she is on the upswing now!)

All my last fosters except mama Miss Mouse are back at the shelter.

I was very sad for 3 full days.

I am happy again.

Tenitive names are Parchment & Papyrus.

That said, names are still being decided.

tribute to the void

So we lost one of our rats this weekend. One of a pair of brothers, he was sweet but didn’t like to be picked up. Sadly I can’t find any pictures of him but in honor of all our rats, I’m posting one of our OG pocket puppies. My rats were the stepping stone that started the climb out of some serious depression in 2017, their lives are short but just like anything else, time doesn’t really dictate how impactful someone can be, pet or human or whatever.

Mort the Rat!

(It won’t let me link the gif, @Tez what am I doing wrong???)

[Tez]

@crawfish It looks like it doesn’t like mp4s. It might require a video embed plugin instead.

THAT SAID LOOK HOW CUTE.

(The rat is cute too.)

@crawfish Yeah, it’s not a gif at that imgur link, it’s a video.

[crawfish]

@Roz it lied!! Ok well there’s a link to a video

I present you with… our emergency Christmas “sports injury” 🥹

I wish to join the void worship. Especially as the one void hates me. Since she keeps being midly sick (diarrhea and now an eye infection) and I have to keep giving her medication she DOES NOT LIKE so I am not making much headway in making her a friend. (Sadly, she learned that I tried to put the yucky meds in a treat once and she has decided ALL treats are tricks now and will not eat them.)

My void being a little too obvious.

@IoleRae
She really is!! And her hair is like silk.

She came in with the rest of this family (10 in all) and we thought she was Periwinkle’s daughter, while Cleome was mama to the 7 babies. Rose and Periwinkle got spayed and we intended for them to go back to the shelter together.

However, after surgery Cleome kicked Periwinkle out of the family by hissing and swatting at her, but let Rose come back. Ever since it has been obvious that Rose and Cleome are a pair. Rose is obsessed with Cleome and Cleome cares for Rose like a mother more than an aunt. We just bowed to the will of the cats and will bond Cleome and Rose to be adopted as a pair even if it does mean they might not be adopted for a while. (Bonded kittens stay at the shelter an average of about two weeks longer, bonded adults? Years. But better they stay at the rescue warm, fed, loved, and together then lose the other creature they love most.)

Got out of the shower before work and caught this cuteness, just a shame I couldn’t get a less blurry pic.

That’s Alucard with his three little surprise babies, two voids and a baby tux, snuggling and grooming.

He is such a sweet, devoted papa cat and has been since they were born, always near them and watching over them.

The kittens are getting real demanding about mama feeding them. (Technically they don’t need to nurse any more. It is just comfort at this point.)

Babies who won’t leave mama alone go cuddle jail. (My arms)
