Cats, Dogs, Other pets.

We have another cat in the sewing room. Not under quarantine this time, and not such a talker. It's a female that was raising a litter of kittens that Mrs. Prof trapped and sent off for foster at another home (they're almost old enough for TNR treatment, but they won't be returned to the wild - they'll be neutered and adopted out). The female is *definitely* not feral. We've already both stuck our hands into the kennel and given it scratchies on the head and neck. It purred loudly in response. It won't come out of the carrier "cave" in the kennel far enough for full interaction with me, but I think Mrs. Prof has made further progress with it. I just have to get it used to the big, scary, hairy guy before I can make the same breakthrough.

Good luck with her.

Explorer the Cat about to jump off my living room table.  She still hasn't knocked anything off of that table, despite being on it almost daily.

Explorer the Cat spent most of her not running around time this morning in the Cat Cave.  For reasons, I decided to read the internet in bed today so I went back to the bedroom.  I didn't call EtC once I was in bed, but she showed up any way,.  She's currently laying on my chest and purring.   This is the most attached to her human cat I've had in decades.

As often as EtC is described as "Meatloaf" it makes me wonder if there are cat-shaped loaf pans available

A Cat-Loaf (made of domesticated meat, of course) would either be fun or creepy

That is very far on the creepy side of the scale

Of course, there is only one version of that horror which I have ever found acceptable

It says something about me that I sorta expected that image.
Of course some one could not leave it at the cover art..

We had a Pink Panther one ages ago. Wilton pans are (were?) thick aluminum, and hold up well; if you wanted one, I bet eBay has a few every now and then.

So I Googled, and there's more than one style. We had this one, now retired.

I see your Hello Kitty and raise you an Empire:

Her color pattern does seem to be optimised for cheap carpet.

Explorer the Cat on the living room/hobby area table.  I need to organize that table a bit someday.

Explorer the Cat scratches an itchy spot.  I've check her for fleas, so I'm fairly sure that's not it.

[mlooney 3,417]

Explorer the Cat has spent more time on my living room table today than is normal.  She still doesn't knock things off of it, which I understand is a violation of some Cat Code or something.
