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!

Working an unusual pattern of days this week and I can't decide if I like it. On the one hand I'm not knackered but on the other I don't get my usual block of four days off when I put my non-archaeology head on. I'm switching between states more which isn't always easy. Anyway, it means more chores get done during the week as I have the beans. Sparky is very confused but that's not unusual, love him. Tails takes it all in her stride as usual.

AI vs cats: An AI image generation takes about 0.1-1Wh, so on gas is under 0.4g CO2 emission.
Keeping a cat causes emissions of about 310kg of CO2 a year, i.e. about 1kg/day. So under 30 seconds of cat gets you one AI image.
Cats also kill billions of birds.
I'm not suggesting getting rid of cats, but please consider that lot before threatening people for the use of AI.

I know cats need to be a certain weight for the breakable collars to work and will be having the cats weighed later this month for their flea & wormer. Tails will detest a collar, Sparks will probably get on with it. I don't want to put them at risk from strangling.…

Special evening.
Bruce and Charley cats (brother and sister) groom each other before meals and are sometimes close to each other outdoors, but basically spend the rest of their time indoors in separate rooms or chasing and swiping each other.
As kittens, they curled up together, but that hasn't happened for a long time now.
Tonight, for the first time in at least 6 years, wife and I were on the sofa with both cats beside us. No hissing, lots of purring, and it was magic…

When the prison closed in 1971, a colony of cats lived inside. When restoration began, the cats were captured and neutered, thus causing them eventually to die off. Artist Linda Brenner sculpted 39 cat sculptures, which surround the property. The sculptures were purposefully made of a material that slowly dissolves over time to represent the inevitable natural decay that faces all living things.

This guy was on a one-man crusade to get doctors to setup NICUs and it took *40 years* for this country to decide that preemie babies are worth saving after all (Europe adopted these relatively quickly...we can thank eugenics in this country for the slow uptake). The whole episode is worth listening to.

✅ Physical activity
✅ Faster way to detach from work
✅ Saw a couple of cats
