Spoiling Pearl with a new heated bed.

New doormat.

Four sad, but dry, community cats making use of the tent in the front yard during the latest storm.

Where’d my package get delivered, it’s not at the door … oh. #FeralCat

Holiday cats.

Had help putting together a little greenhouse that will be used as a feral cat feeding area when it’s raining.

💛

The ferals/strays mostly disappear during the daytime, but I can usually find Shorty somewhere in the backyard (or he finds me). Glad I spotted him today when the temp hit 101°F and was able to give him some liquid treats for a bit of hydration.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social I can finally pet all the feral cats (the regulars) that visit my yard. We call this sweet girl Half’n’Half. It’s taken almost 3 years to get here, and she’s still a bit scared of me, but it feels like a huge accomplishment!

Our friend Oober showed up with a leg injury. Luckily he’s friendly and we were able to get him to the vet for some antibiotics.

Mondays.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social I gave my cats cat grass for the first time recently, is Pearl doing it right?

Churu time for some of my feral/stray friends. #FeralCats #StrayCats

Do you think Sméagol knows part of her isn’t in the box anymore?

Other Bart (orange guy) was not a willing participant. Sméagol squeezed in while he was sleeping. #IndoorCats

Feral cats like catnip too! #FeralCats

3 cats appreciate a strawberry box. #IndoorCat

Cheese? #IndoorCat

Rainy morning breakfast club. #feralcats

Stop and smell the poppies.

First morning of new med, she’s not a happy camper. I thought there wouldn’t be issues because it’s chicken/liver flavor. Wrong. I forgot how much a cat will drool when you shoot gross liquid in its mouth.

I love this little cat so much, she’s so funny. Even though Pearl was pumped full of gabapentin this morning and very wobbly, she couldn’t resist climbing the ladder I left in the hallway.

Pearl warming up in the sun.

Double sad cats at the vet for wellness exams. Mostly good, both need dental work though. Other Bart (orange) was so exhausted after that Sméagol was able to snuggle up next to him.

We call this guy Oober. Another sweet stray. Alpha male of the yard. Father to many before we intervened. #StrayCat

Ridiculous. #StrayCat

She blends in pretty well. #feralcat

Pearl discovers rain. At first she was scared, then curious, then out we went to her favorite spot on the back fence.

Squeakers, a very sweet stray. #StrayCat

Pearl thought it was time to create a Bluesky account for her and all her cat friends. We’ll be posting photos via @flashes.blue.
