Gorgeous flowers -- of the feline and canna variety!I got some very good news today! The Cat Cafe is opening back up! Donations and fostering kept the business going! All the kitties made it through the shut down and will be back in their home again as well as being up for a purrmanent home. The way the cafe is run will be a bit different for now but they are taking reservations for visits again! A cat named Figaro is posted on their website and is inviting visitors to return to play. Human food will not be offered again yet but the most important part, kitty love is there! The cat room will be cleaned between visitors and the cat toys will be in constant rotation. Masks will be provided as well as supervised cleaning stations for the visitors. I am so relieved that the Cafe is continuing. I’ll be notifying everyone I can to spread the word. I hope this signals the reopening of many cat shelters and services!
I have been trying to do chores left handed today. It worked pretty well. I took time between chores to use a heating pad too. As long as I don’t reach up, to the right, to the left or down, I’m fine. Upright and walking around is purrfect. Laying down, not so much. I feel a bit like this flower spike on the Canna, bright but leaning with the weight. View attachment 334572
I found that a new baby bird has joined the world! After hatching, mom bird cast the shell far from the nest. It’s a pretty shell. White with brown polka dots.

Banjo and Muffin are continuing the race for the spot next to me.

I think I’m going to have to show her that I mean business. I was hoping she wouldn’t call my bluff.

Okay. I’m gonna do this.

Got ‘cha Muffin!

Ahhhh. I think next time I may just move over.
Are my eyes twitching? Maybe you should have let Muffin get in the tub too.

I think I wish I hadn’t done that. Am I going to faint?

I wish I hadn’t seen that!

Poor Banjo. Lol. Poor Muffin. Poor BJ. Last night harmonicat, tonight aromaticat.
If laughter heals, the kitties will have my shoulder well in no time!
Have a great night everyone!
That's great about the cat cafe. May they take best care of their cats and clean stringently! *and yes, we all pray for spay/neuter to open up quickly and be practiced aggressively. We have all worked so hard and care so much!*
My chiro absolutely forbids heating pads. He says moist heat, not dry heat, is best. If you fill a sock with rice, you can microwave it for up to 2 minutes and apply it to the painful part. This is moist heat and it is quite helpful, I find. A friend gave me a gift of something similar from a Bed Bath & Beyond shop. It has some herbs in it, too, so it smells nice. But you can make one yourself using just rice and a sock.
I have part of a shell that looks like that on one of my peripherals. Found it out in the yard. Mine is pale blue with brown spots.
