Daily Kitty Mama says, “No you may not go outside!” The PAW 🐾 #Caturday #BabyRaven #OperationRescueMittensEarliRaven #CatsofBluesky

finished Part I (Sacajawea). It was both a mini biography & a summary of the Lewis & Clark expedition. I didn’t want this section to finish, it was so engrossing. Sacajawea is a cultural icon to me & I was pleased to see her honored. In particular, I loved the closing passage. @mkn.bsky.social

(Amongst many obvious things), this administration also badly needs a Protocol Droid

Daily Kitty Earli wants you to see his toe beans 🫘. He doesn’t care that it’s not Tuesday. His mama Mittens still loves and nuzzles him. He is still Her Kitten.🐈🐈‍⬛🐯 #catsofbluesky #OperationRescueMittensEarliRaven #blackcats #Feralcats #toebeans

Daily Kitty Today is Raven’s two-week birthday! His eyes are open and he is curious. The clock is running, I will need a solid plan in place before he becomes mobile 🐯

In other news…it is what it is. Tigger guards Mittens while she nurses Raven🤷🏽‍♀️

Daily Kitty Super Xena takes flight on a beautiful cloudy #Caturday. #Caturday #catsofbluesky #rescuecats #blackcats

So it could be that I am in a mood. A friend gave me this book, knowing that I am re-reading Scott Odell. I am immediately put off by the cover of a Southwest Native dressed in Plains buckskins🤦🏽‍♀️ I know it was the “era”, but it brings up a lot of stereotyping (braids…)

“Idiot hires idiot who's fired by other idiots for being idiotic.” This administration summed up by Pulitzer Prize winning author💯. Well-said.

Daily Kitty While Mittens was prowling and yowling, I looked in on her 8 day old kitten. Look at those ears! Raven seems content. Doing a lot better than I am 🙀

What have I done to anger the Gods of Cats??!! Mittens appears to be in heat with an 11 day old kitten🙀😭 she is pacing the yard yowling at the top of her lungs. I actually got sick 😷

Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative. False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants. Reality: “We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."

“The SPLC has faced intense criticism from conservatives, who have accused it of unfairly maligning right-wing organizations as extremist groups because of their viewpoints. The center regularly condemns Trump’s rhetoric and policies…” Possible retribution? We shall see apnews.com/article/sout...

Daily Kitty Terrible picture that represents huge progress. Earli has moved into the twin house of the one he shared with Mittens! He had been adrift since being supplanted by Raven. Last night I added an identical blanket & sprayed it with Cat Calming Spray. It worked! 🙏🏽🩷🐈‍⬛🩷 #catsofbluesky #Blackcat

Seeing Red! After many years visiting red squirrel hot spots we finally found some! Look how gorgeous they are 🥰 #Photography #Wildlife #Squirrel #RedSquirrel #Anglesey #Wales

Daily Kitty Earli still needs his mama❤️🐈‍⬛🐈❤️ #catsofbluesky #bondedkitties #feralcats #rescuecats

This rose was so vibrant that I had to dial down the color saturation #landscapephotography #roses #flowers #bloomscrolling

The encapsulation of the main points of the movie are words to live by. I grew up listening to the betrayal of both my Jewish family & Indigenous family. Both warned me that outsiders & insiders alike would seek to betray, use & abuse. Also not to succumb to power & greed. I try. Please read.

@crits4cats.org @catcarenetworkiowa.bsky.social Is this “normal” that Mittens would not run to her kitten? 4days old. Little house on my deck next to my slider. I don’t want to scare them into moving, at the same time, trying to normalize my presence. I have this obstacle of getting them inside.

Daily Kitty Sleepy baby #catsofbluesky #OperationRrscueMittens #feralcats #kittens

Daily Kitty Kitten tail!! It looks like her initial black appearance has faded to a near-duplicate of mama Mittens. #Caturday #OperationRescueMitten #catsofbluesky #feralcats #kittens

Daily Kitty Mama Mittens taking a break. Earlier, when she was walking around, I reached in and pet the soft, fuzzy kitten 🥰 #OperationRescueMittens #catsofbluesky #feralcats

Mittens came out and reassured us all. She snuggled a bit with Earli, rubbed up against the glass to say hi to me & Xena, and went back to her Kitten (before I took a picture). Earli is sleeping contented on his lounger,now. #OperationRescueMittens #Catsofbluesky #Kitten #feralcats

Earli seeks the high ground when he’s a little out of sorts. This wall is right above Mama & Kitten.

Mittens came out to get a quick bite. I don’t hear a chorus of mews, just one, nor did I see a stuffed space. Mama seems recovered and moving nicely. Please don’t move to a different spot, mama, this one is the safest (outside)🙏🏽 #OperationRescueMittens #catsofbluesky #kittens

Daily Kitty The day has arrived. The kittens are arriving❤️ I did not get the best case of Mittens in the house, but it’s a good second: she chose the little house next to the food and door. #catsofbluesky #OperationRescueMittens #Kittens

A foolish colleague proclaimed that, “If you put as much effort into making money as you do with those cats and cameras, you’d be wealthy”. Silly dude. He doesn’t know I’m on my 9th life. Already did the money thing and nearly lost my mind & soul. (Almost lost my life on my 7th go around😹)

“The American people must not look away, as they have done so often in the past. They must pay attention to the president’s deterioration, and insist that the House and Senate start acting like functioning branches of the government by asking the White House to explain what is happening…”

As directed by the expert @catcarenetworkiowa.bsky.social I set up an indoor retreat for Mittens just inside the door. Thank you to the folks who contributed the kennel & giant memory foam pad. Waterproof blanket over it. Exhausted. Clock ticking #OperationRescueMittens #KittensDue #catsofbluesky

Daily Kitty The silly and elusive Earli. He’s loafing, but you can’t tell.

A surprising number of roses survived this weekend’s violent storms. This one is “Perfect Moment”

Look what just arrived by @mkn.bsky.social !! Dr.Nelson earned her bona fides with me with her Native perspective in the Pulitzer Prize finalist, Three-Cornered War. Neither stereotype nor romantic imagery permeate her writing. #WesternHistory #NativeLand #WomenHistorians #Factbasedhistory

Some people have baking supplies…(the extra case loads are in the back room😹)

The Menswear Guy sums it up, perfectly 😹🩷🐾

Daily Kitty Everyone admire my teef! (while I glue mama in place)😼❤️🐈‍⬛ #catsofbluesky #lapcats #rescuecats #blackcats

One down! It. Can. Be. Done.

Daily Kitty Two fuzzy butts stuffed in a little heated house (there are bigger, fancier ones to choose from) Mittens and Earli waiting out the next storm together ❤️🐈‍⬛🐈❤️

Mittens is due any minute & I want to be prepared *if* something goes wrong. My bottle-feeding equipment was not the best. Could you please give me Amazon recommendations? @crits4cats.org @fluffandwobbles.bsky.social @veronicaf.bsky.social @caglecats.bsky.social @catcarenetworkiowa.bsky.social

Yeah. Okay (said in blasé tone) (no black/funnel clouds spotted. Not in the mood for this)

Mini Kitty, our Colony King passed peacefully in his sleep. We had scheduled the home vet, tomorrow, but this is what his dad wished for. I will not tag, so not to intrude.

Daily Kitty Xena for cats noir Friday🩷🐈‍⬛🐾 #CatsNoirFriday #catsofbluesky #rescuecats #blackcats

Not even the weather is on my side. It’s hailing. Come inside babies! ⚡️

Happy 67 birthday to Brian Setzer (Stray Cats)!

Tonight’s update: Mittens has broken free of the pad😻

Daily Kitty Xena as a kiddin shortly after she found me 😻🐈‍⬛ #ThrowbackThursday #catsofbluesky #rescuecats #blackcats

Sky on fire and ashes on the ground, but sally forth! Mittens came in a little more👍🏽😻

Daily Kitty There are whiskers to be seen! #WhiskersWednesday #catsofbluesky #rescuecats #blackcats

Nope. Not leaving the safety of my mat!! (I will go back to putting the dish on the floor. They are familiar with it)

How many of us came home from work and snuggled our fur babies? #catsofbluesky #pettherapy #rescuecats #blackcats

To fully appreciate the weight being placed upon our military (since everyone else has dropped the ball) also read this prior article by @radiofreetom.bsky.social that refers to this same burden back when we were going to attack Greenland (remember that?) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
