These 3 are probably almost ready for adoption. I wish I could keep the top left pretty girl. All 3 are super cuddly with humans. The remaining 2 others not photographed are still being worked on.
I can't handle this cuteness. Starting top left, clockwise, these are the names we've given them for now.
Salmiakki - named after the Finnish salt licorice because he’s the only one with black marbled fur. And he goes from cute to salty with zero chill.
Gripz- because prying him off anything once he’s sunken his claws into it is impossible. Could bottle him and sell it as miracle adhesive. He's also the most reclusive and trying to get a decent pic of him has been impossible.
Finally, my favorite - Goldilocks. The strays around here allegedly have Bengal Cat genes due to an escaped male who sired multiple kittens. Goldilocks is the most Bengal looking one but only her head is goldish. She looks most like her mom with that disinterested expression.
Spent the weekend building an enclosure for the newborn stray kittens. Like Velociraptors, they tested the security quite thoroughly. Though this guy chickened out during his escape attempt. Momma cat can come and go and kitties have plenty of room to run around all day.
One of the stray cats we've been feeding was pregnant but we thought she lost the litter. A few weeks later she came rolling up with 6 little fuzzballs. Trying to see if we can corral them to get fixed and adopted out eventually. I want one of them but we already have 3.
My little girl Olive turns 6 today. 😭From the day we brought her home, her favorite spot is sleeping on my chest every night. She's appeared in CoC dev updates, traveled the world, and is my constant companion. Trying to treasure every moment I can before they're gone.
A culinary adventure through the LA County Fair. Deep fried cheesecake, churros, donut sandwiches, and more. I think I’m near diabetic shock. Maybe I should buy a sauna.
Ran a pic of my cat through 3 different AI just to test them. Same prompt asking it to convert it to a b&w charcoal sketch. The results are kinda hilarious. In order, source, Gemini, ChatGPT, and...Claude...
He clearly tried his best.
Recently ran a small seminar at one of my black belt's new school. It felt great teaching kids again, and seeing so much enthusiasm. Def not as flexible as I used to be but still got a bit of life left in these legs.
Ok this is getting ridiculous. Squeek has now made this a nightly ritual while waiting for my car to pull into the driveway, knowing it's dinner time when I get home. So this is his passive aggressive way of telling Kira he's hungry/counting down the seconds.
