At the moment I'm wondering if there's enough O+ blood available at the local blood bank in the event I ever try to dress Cat the Ripper up like the beautiful, inquisitive Buttercream.
I had a cat who was always trying to escape. So I bought a small chest harness. After leaving it around for a few days to let her get used to it, I managed to get her securely buckled in. I walked away for 30 seconds to get my keys, went back to the door. She was proudly sitting on top of the harness and meowing at me. One more good idea shot to hell.
I was kinda turned off by the whole kitty harness thing, when my parents put their cat in a harness to get her used to it before they moved from NY to FL. They stopped at my place in PA on their way, and as I examined Cissy, I found that her back had been rubbed raw by the harness - apparently my parents put it on too tightly, and left it on for days.
I took the harness off, and ended up keeping Cissy for my own when my parents left.
There are so many other factors that go into being cold or warm besides the temperature: humidity, wind, whether the temperature is on the way up or on the way down, how you’re dressed, and so on. I never question it when somebody tells me they’re cold.
Also, gloves can protect your fingers to a certain extent, but if you want to keep your hands warm in cold conditions, look for gloves embedded in mittens, where you can flip back the top half of the mittens and your gloved fingers are available for finer work. That way you could hold the leash until you got to the park, and warm your hands up while she was running around.
Hey Buttercream, have mom and dad take you sledding on the hill next to the Dyckman Street subway station on the 1 line that goes to Van Cortlandt park. That was fun sledding back in the day.
I got percy a sweater for christmas, for he is thin furred and our house drafty, and for warm he will burrito himself in blankets and then get stuck, because he is made of dumb, and have to be rescued.
OH the drama! He did the dead kitty flop and everything XD I tried to do the training like the intertubes said but after a week I was all nope, he is not enjoying this, that is enough.
It's all good, not too hard to rescue him from his self wrapping
It is the worst show of male dominance that I've seen for many years. A man responsible for covering up a female child sex trafficking ring partying with a room full of other men, calls the pedophile who assaulted these girls, and they all do a group GUFFAW at the stupid women's hockey team. Outside of the fact that there actually is a women's hockey team, it feels like I'm back in the 1940's. I mean, this is something that would get a CEO fired for participating in. It sickens and angers me.
Ya didn’t get duped by a con artist. Ya got duped by a whole system that owns your media and engineers your information like McDonalds engineers food. You’ve been spoon fed slop to make you react the way they want you to your whole life. That system put the con man there so that when it all goes pear shaped, you’ll blame the con man, not the system.
But good. Yes, get angry at the con man. It’s a damned good first step. But be sure to get even angrier at the system that enabled him, and is the real and continuing threat to your wellbeing. If he strokes out during the State of the Union, very little will change. It’s all the other shitbirds in the administration and Congress and the Heritage Foundation that are doing the heavy lifting. Get angry at them. Remove them. That’s the only way out of this.
Don’t just get angry. Hold them accountable. Any other course just leads right back here.

Man, I just really, reeeeally don’t want to start feeling like Gavin Newson is inevitable. Let him go fuck off to be “one of the good ones” as a commentator on CBS, Fox, or any of the many, many other terrible outlets with the scant few hours he has left after perfecting every follicle of amazing hair every day once his term is over.

Stay safe out there, snowbound friends.
That is so damn adorable! Nothing cute to say, it's just cute.
Buttercream is a freakin' LEGEND.
...and then the murders began.
Buttercream has style, and knows it!
I think this started with *punch punch* “HUMAN! Take me outside. I should like to investigate this ‘snow’ stuff. Be quick, now, it might melt!”

There definitely isn’t. DO NOT ATTEMPT.

Makes me glad my kitty would not comply.
Luge!
I've known some adorable cats in my time. Buttercream should be in the Adorable Cat Hall of Fame.
When it comes to sledding
Buttercream knows how to do it
But when it comes to winter cold
That cat is welcome to it
It's 21 degrees outside
And a month til Winter's done
Juan and I are waiting for
The warming springtime sun.
Which 21? The above one? Or the default one?
It was 26 degrees in Atlanta this am, took Molly took the dog park anyway, she was fine but I froze my fingers off even with gloves.
I know, I'm a wimp.

It reached about 21 here today, too.

I’m picturing Juan looking out the window and sighing deep sighs.
Me too. We had highs near 80° last week. It spoiled the two of us
Aww . . .
He's looking at the snow so he can figure out how to murder you with it, Lady!

OMG, I don’t normally endorse dressing cats up in costumes but that little tam! Squuuhweee!
Buttercream looked fine with it!
I got percy a sweater for christmas, for he is thin furred and our house drafty, and for warm he will burrito himself in blankets and then get stuck, because he is made of dumb, and have to be rescued.

It's the hat. The wearing of the hat will cause mayhem to their human. Count on it.

A kitteh in a tam o' shanter? Ded. DEE EE DEE ded.
Buttercream sez, "What's dis cold, white stuff?"
"Deport The Nineteen Percent!"
Yay Buttercream, nice outfit! Also, yay women's hockey. Men's hockey can drink beer with Kash'in in Patel.
Evan! Evan! I just wrote a demi-haiku!

All the other athletes call hockey players dumb jocks.

Wow I am really shocked to hear this.
I just assumed that the kind of people ICE prefers to hire wouldn't need to be *taught* to do that...

They're trying to do that in Ohio for the Governor's race.
Dr. Amy Acton is the front-running Democrat, and they want everyone to back off so she can save her money for the General.
Vivek Ramaswamy is the front-running Republican, and they want everyone to back off because Chump endorsed him.
The Columbus Dispatch did a big profile of their Lieutenant Governor picks.
The Primary isn't until May.
It appears that there are several MAGABITCHES on the US men's hockey team--as in red hat wearing, strutting their Nazi SHITE on social media, etc.
Unsurprising the team is Cro-Magnon.
Tuesday Tab's and Coffee ☕💯👍
I KNEW there was a reason I was on the side of the Canadian men's hockey team.
