We're locked in the bedroom as a plumber works on a few things. Mom & Dad do some DIY fixes (like changing faucets), but knew they were over their head on other tasks. Even the plumber is struggling to change the valve for the shower. Molly wants out but Wolfie and Pearl are relaxing.

@mckinleydturtle.bsky.social you got an extra sun lamp today, but have you ever had turtle birthday cake?

@mizzbassie.bsky.social you might enjoy this.

@mizzbassie.bsky.social Hi Bassie. I see you're up.

Excellent educational video about chronic kidney disease. Our cat was diagnosed with renal insufficiency at 2 years old, so it's not only senior pets who are affected and Dr. Em touches on this. #BlueSkyCats #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyDogs #DogsOfBlueSky

I think the kitties are enjoying the sun. It would take an earthquake to move Wolfie but Pearl and Molly are content to nap in their sunpuddles.

I rarely disturb the kitties when they're sleeping, but when the sun finally appears after more than 2 weeks of fog and clouds, I had to get their brains some sunshine! Wolfie was already in the front window so I moved Molly and Pearl to join him. Sunshine! Glorious sunshine!

@henryandfriends.bsky.social Henry, we finally got a bit of sunshine!!!! Molly is napping but mom went outside and stood in a sunpuddle. Lots of clouds in the sky and rain coming in a few days, but we got to see the sun!

Finally, after 2+ weeks of clouds and fog, We Have Sunshine!!!!

Spectacular photo.

@sirpicklelongpaw.bsky.social you're up late.

Wolfie and Molly (aka Mr. And his Peanut). It's amazing how well these two get along.

Wow! That's a fantastic photo.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends. scz.org/blog/the-rea...

A new video posted to YT yesterday - however my day was hectic enough that I didn't get the chance to share it here. Enjoy my summary of some recent research on raw diets youtu.be/Eea_5IszpkI 🐾

@mizzbassie.bsky.social I thought you'd enjoy seeing this.

@sailorrooscout.bsky.social I'm many years and brain cells past being able to review this type of literature, but could it also be that people who are proactive about preventive health care (get vaccinated) also have healthy behaviors that reduce dementia risk? Or was this factored into analysis?

The squirrel is providing excellent rainy morning entertainment for Wolfie, Pearl, and Molly.

Pearl is watching squirrel tv.

Pearl and Wolfie had cozy sleeps.

I did the bonus clicks! 8 minutes remaining. Go, go, clickety click to help animals.

Screw it, I’m going to stop reading the news and watch a knitted frog make a pie, read a book, and go to bed.

Molly is getting a full body warm. Just like the loaf of bread I have proofing in the oven. 🤣

After 50 minutes outside where it's 60 degrees, cloudy, and everything is rain soaked, Molly decided it was time to come in and warm up on the heater vent.

Molly enjoys staying warm sitting on the heater vent while eating breakfast.

Pearl thinks watering can water is the best. Video: a small gray tabby cat on a backyard walkway drinking from a puddle formed by someone slowly pouring water from a small watering can. A small tortishell cat wanders through the background.

Love the bonus clicks. Easy way to help the needy animals.

Pearl loves going in the garage rafters. Alert eyes and curious whiskers. #WhiskersWednesday #WhiskerWednesday

A new day, a familiar position. Wolfie's new favorite chair on the patio.

@mizzbassie.bsky.social How long does it take to prepare tonight's dinner?

Wolfie has been in this position for about 2 hours.

It's not often all three cats are lounging in the same area.

Molly has turned herself into a catnip toy. She's been rolling in the plant and her entire body reeks of catnip. #Caturday

#Caturday problem child.

@katvolk.bsky.social This egg didn't want to be hard-boiled in its shell! Some white and the entire yolk squished out a tiny hole in the narrow end of the shell. Even Pearl thought it was interesting.
