Tennessee update: On this #Caturday I'm so very happy to report that he's finally eating — just a tiny bit, but he's eating from his food bowl. And he's eaten some of the freeze-dried salmon treats I left out in places where I normally leave treats.

He's also hanging out in his normal spots and doing some cuddling, too — acting pretty close to his normal self, if a bit skittish. He's still getting kitty opioids for pain and I'll be giving him an appetite stimulant in a bit.

Just watched @kissane's XOXO talk & it left me choked up. You may know Erin from The Covid Tracking Project; now she's focusing on getting us to create social spaces on the internet that aren't soul-destroying. Yes, that involves the Fediverse.

I'm so grateful for all she's done, in both spheres.

Her XOXO talk, which I highly recommend:

One of her latest efforts, done with @darius, on Fediverse Governance:

#Caturday is for appreciating Tennessee. (Oh, OK, let's be real — every day is for appreciating Tennessee.) #CatsOfMastodon

I rarely get a photo of Tennessee that's suitable for #TongueOutTuesday, but here he is with a big yawn! #CatsOfMastodon

Visiting skinny cat, having eaten, poses for a #WhiskersWednesday photo — with a bonus blep. #CatsOfMastodon

My neighbor and I have taken to feeding this visiting cat because she is so skinny and so hungry — she gobbles down whatever wet food you give her. (She'll eat kibble, but she definitely prefers the wet stuff.)

But she's also extremely friendly and loves to be petted. Has a soft but lovely purr.

Too friendly to be a feral and seemingly too skinny to have a home. It's a mystery. Maybe if she keeps hanging around I'll take her to the vet to see if she's chipped.

Because it's still #Caturday here in California and it doesn't feel like Caturday if I don't post a photo of Tennessee (even if I posted one of Moonshadow) — here's Tennessee. #CatsOfMastodon

I hear that August 17 is Black Cat Appreciation Day, so here's my Moonshadow (RIP) looking out the sliding glass door. I love this photo, even though you can't see his face.

Interestingly, Tennessee adores this cat bed, too, which remains in the same place.

Here's Tennessee, very unhappy that I decided to enter my office while he was there. He's super affectionate in my bedroom, but scared to share a room with me anywhere else. Go figure! #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

I just learned that it's International Cat Day. To celebrate, here's Tennessee with his favorite toy — a pipe cleaner. He gets especially excited to play when I put a tiny bit of catnip in the scratcher. #CatsOfMastodon

Woke up the news about Walz and, a few minutes later, the sound of Tennessee coughing up a hairball, Good morning, everyone! #today

Here's a photo of the new Walz family cat as of December 2023. She's a rescue cat named Honey.
