Hard life of a cat in Valetta
#Malta #valetta #cat

This is how day one of my week off is going 😄 To be fair I worked all morning and have a meeting later, but I'm squeezing in a cat-based interlude.

I haven't been posting much lately...
Over the weekend one of our cats had to go do the emergency vet due to crystals blocking his urinary tract. An x-ray then showed kidney stones and he needed surgery.
He's back home recovering, on drugs, not happy about the cone, making a mess of everything, and we're thankful we could save his life.
I mean, we are now broke, in credit card debt, and canceling next years holiday, but, hey... cats! We love 'em!

"Syssk: The Alien Tarot of Ancient Japan" is a highly obscure tarot deck created by Armenian poet Lilit "Baba" Yagian, revolving around an alien (marked only by the stolen head of H. R. Giger's Xenomorph) named Syssk who "finds herself unexpectedly marooned in Medieval Japan" and "attempts to navigate a human society while assuming the role of a samurai."
The cards are created via crude digital collage, most prominently using Ukiyo-e woodbloc…

It’s still #Caturday in my time zone

LOL, I think the male cat has a hearing problem. Sitting over by the wife looking at me. I tell him 'good boy, you can sit with mommy'. What does he do? He sits up on ME! I suspect he heard 'MORE ME'.

In my cat Strider's idiolect, a voiced uvular trill means "I REALLY want $thing" where $thing is probably (but not always) food.
A simple 'ÆW!' means "gimme that," but when followed by ʀʀʀʀʀʀʀʀʀʀ it indicates particular urgency and focus toward the item (generally sausage) in question.

A new cat species was just discovered. Several more may follow
Editor’s note: Last week, the description of a “new” cat species from Bolivia made headlines around the world. The tilcayo (Leopardus tilcayo), a small spotted cat from Bolivia’s Yungas cloud forests, was described as the first new living cat species discovered in more than a century. Unlike several cats recognized as new species in recent […]

Had to take my cat to the veterinary ER last night for an eye wound. It turned out to be more of a head and eyelid laceration from skin irritation so it wasn't that serious, but being in the pet ER for a couple of hours was an experience.
The amount of grief coming in through the door was unnerving. You'd have to have the uncommon combination of nerves of steel plus an oversized compassion meter to be able to handle working in a place like that for more than a month.

Might read, might knit, will fondle cat ears at every opportunity. I now have all my unused leave booked so I have a week off in Oct and another in Nov so I can plan for you-know-what 🧑‍🎄🎄
