After a hard day, we have it all: Adorable little catfeet and hands! Big bright eyes and loving looks! Even nice doorknobs!

IDK how you do that these days. Maybe you don't? IDK what I'd do without my cat helpers. Angel Rani was excellent at this. Elvis helps, but he doesn't get under the sheet, only on top of it. Still, I couldn't do without him helping. Baby Su leaves the hard work to him.
Krista didn’t climb under the sheet. I made it over her. She was chill like that. I could have left her a wrapped lump and she would have emerged for food or . I hope.IDK how you do that these days.

I know I'm relieved about THAT, tooKrista didn’t climb under the sheet. I made it over her. She was chill like that. I could have left her a wrapped lump and she would have emerged for food or . I hope.
Of course I still miss her a thousand times a day. But in a bittersweet way, she’s still with me throughout the day.
It’s taken a long time to feel “okay” without a cat. Without her. I’m still anxious about the pandemic. Shortages and restrictions to access and simply having nowhere to go. Sure I’m vaccinated. But is it worth the risk to try to, possibly prematurely, normalize back to a pre-pandemic life? I want to see how return to office plays out before adding a cat back into the mix. Living alone and having a dependent in a pandemic was very nerve-wracking. I don’t think we’re going back to our old normal again. But I can wait a bit longer for a better new normal to emerge.
At least I no longer have to worry about a talk show host Floridifying this state.
Three treasures of a treasure! I especially love the middle pic. "Dad. DAD!!! How about some da Bird, Dad? I'm feeling playful right now!"Today is a goldmine across the years. I’ll save some for those days with none.

A yawn, yes...to get extra oxygen before a hoped-for heavy play session?I think the time stamps on the “2004” pictures are wrong. I didn’t adopt her until 2006. We’ll call those 2006 because I recognize that library book. My gf at the time, the one who paid Krista’s adoption fees for my birthday had some reaction or another (that I don’t remember) to that book.

Spoiler. We were no longer dating in September 2006. (Probably not because of the book. Probably.) I estimate this to be June or July 2006.
A very thoughtful-looking Krista in front of one of her beautiful trees. What's she thinking, I wonder? She looks happy.
1. It's a human thing, Krista. You wouldn't understand.
