A wild cat loves some wild air. Also: I’m currently on tour with my band @pocketvinyl.bsky.social and I’d love to meet you! (Don’t worry, our neighbors are taking care of the cats) Come say hi if I’m in or near your town! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #wildcat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

Sound on for a Pilgrim hello! And if you’re near Frostburg, Maryland come see me tonight with my band @pocketvinyl If you ask for Pilgrim spoilers I will tell you, but only if you come out to see me #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #cathello #trapneuterrelease

As long as it gets in the box, it’s a job well done. Unrelated: Come see me tonight with my band @pocketvinyl.bsky.social in Fredericksburg, VA! I’ll have Pilgrim stickers available at the merch table. #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn #kittylitter

You watch me? I watch you #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #catcam #trapneuterreturn

Give your cat extra pets for all the feral cats that won’t allow it. Also: I’m on tour with my band @pocketvinyl.bsky.social Come see us and say hi! I’ll have Pilgrim stickers at the merch table. #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #trapneuterreturn

Unrelated: Eric & I are going on tour with our band @pocketvinyl (Don’t worry, our neighbors will be taking good care of all of the cats.) Come see us! I’ll have Pilgrim sticker sheets available and I’ll show you cat pictures and videos! #pilgrimthecat #catcam #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

Unrelated: Do you live in England? Would you be willing to host Eric & I for a little while in mid-November? Send me a DM if you think you can help! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

One week with Pilgrim turns into two #pilgrimthecat #trapneuterreturn #straycat #feralcat

How do you stop a cat from being a cat? (You don’t) #pilgrimthecat #windowcat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

Big thank you to everyone getting the Pilgrim sticker sheets and joining our Pátrèòn! Believe it or not, drawing comics does not bring in much money at all, so expenses were a concern as we started to understand the scope of Pilgrim’s care.

A Happy Pilgrim Day #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn #hysterectomyrecovery

#pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #trapneuterreturn

I gave my heart to a feral cat, and let her walk around with it #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #sickcatcare

That’s just it, these animals don’t know and it’s so difficult to communicate to them what’s best (Though it is kind of funny that she just keeps laying NEXT to the heating pad, no matter where I move it!) #pilgrimthecat #trapneuterreturn #feralcat #straycat #mastitis

Not pictured: A couple boxes and packing paper in case Pilgrim wants to play (though really all she wants to do is sleep) #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn #catquarantine #catrecovery

Step one to recovery: She made it through the night #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

This is a “comic cover” of a Calvin & Hobbes comic by Bill Watterson, where Calvin finds a hurt baby raccoon and they try to save it. (1/2)

Sweet Pilgrim is coming home #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #catvet #trapneuterreturn

When I was little I told my mom I wanted to be a veterinarian because I love animals so much. She (gently) told me about how it could be very difficult emotionally. How do you guard your heart? How do you not feel guilt every time you fail them? I’m glad my heart loves so much, but wow it hurts too.

I’m sharing Pilgrim comics early on Patreon, and will be sharing the next batch later today. Join for as little as $1 to see what happens next: www.patreon.com/pocketvinyl #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #catvet

There are thousands of nooks and crannies all around our yard that could hide tiny little kittens #pilgrimthecat #straycat #straykittens #feralcat

#pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #momcat

Oh little Pilgrim #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

Looks like Pilgrim will be an indoor cat for a week! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

I was reluctant to get Pilgrim’s ear tipped and to change her outward appearance. It felt so violating. Now I have a better understanding of how important it can be for feral cats! #pilgrimthecat #tippedear #eartip #feralcat #straycat #trapneuterreturn

Our local mobile cat clinic travels all around the state. They take as many cats as they have space for within the camper, and perform surgeries on site. They are a non-profit charity whose goal is to provide affordable spay/neuter and other medical services to all cats, both pets and feral.

The mournful meow of a confused cat is so sad! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

Don’t worry, we learned a lot about the trap-neuter-release system through this whole process. But I do wish they’d told us in the paperwork so we could have been prepared! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

Sweet little Pilgrim #pilgrimthecat #trapneuterreturn #straycat #feralcat

This hurts my heart. I wish we could communicate with animals to let them know that we’re just trying to help. #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

The time has come #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn #tnr

Howl! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #catcall

I’m becoming very protective of this furry friend #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat

Respect the rules and Pilgrim will respect you back. Also! I’ve got some family summer stuff happening, so I’m scaling back to posting Pilgrim comics every other day for a bit. But I shared the next batch on my Patreon so you can read them there early if you want! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat

Big day in the Pilgrim world! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat

Get a stray cat that will take breaks with you in the grass #pilgrimthecat #gardencat #straycat #feralcat

At least she’s using a litter box I guess #pilgrimthecat #catinthegarden #greenhousecat #straycat #feralcat

Greenhouse cat ≠ plant cat #pilgrimthecat #greenhousecat #straycat #feralcat

Maybe be at least a little suspicious? #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn #animaltrap

Always make sure you get consent. #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn

This is the Inn for Wayward Cats. Emphasis on the “Wayward” #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #feedingstraycats

So small and so sneaky #pilgrimthecat #feralcat #straycat #tinycat #sneakycat

I wish cats could understand language so we could explain that we’re not trying to hurt them! #pilgrimthecat #straycat #feralcat #trapneuterreturn
