  • Nini did the little flop over and not move when i first pit the harness on her, but she seems to have accepted it and started moving around/climbing the apartment. As i said, I'll hit up a pet shop when i am in the "city" tomorrow (how did i reachthe point where i felt that Toledo was a "bug city '?!?) and take them out back with me tomorrow. Nini's mom was a spoiled barn cat, so she's my little panpered princess. My torti, Boudica, was a stray kitten when i found her, so i think she will be more open to the wonders of my neighborhood. I'll talk to my vet next time i tale them in, and keep a close eye on them whenever o take them outside just to be safe

  • I quit Amazon a few years ago, so this is just an XS dog harness i got at rural king. I'm in a small rural town, but i am going to Toledo tomorrow and will head to a pet shop to see if they have any harnesses designed for cats specifically. If anyone has experience taking their cats outside, i would love some advice.

    Got a harness to start taking my cats outside. Niniane is not nearly as cool with it

  • That's my Bou-bear.

    Normally she is way more photogenic, but the harness has her a bit on edge. She's taking to the harness way better than my tabby though. Right now i am swapping them back and forth to make sure they both get comfortable with it. I moved into a new apartment in March, and they both want to go outsiders now. I'm hoping that i can get them harness trained so that they can go outside with me when i have a smoke

    Got a harness to try and take the kitties outside. Boudica doesn't seem to mind too much the first time trying it on

  • JT is one of the useless neoliberals like Macron or Biden who is more interested in maintaining the status quo and insisting that everything is working fine. Everyone and their mother can tell that our societies are on the verge of collapse and are ready for fundamental change. Most aren't too fussy about what that change actually is

  • We'll see what happens in Oz this weekend. I think Canada is the special case here simply because Trump is directly and unquestionably stating he wishes to annex Canada, so his endorsement is a poison pill outside of Alberta.

  • I do feel bad for Jackson because he was an international celebrity from the age of 7 until he died. Dude didn't have a childhood, didn't get to go to a real high school, probably never even went on a date with someone who didn't already know everything about him already.

    Everything i own is for their pleasure. Any other function is purely coincidence.

    Moved into a new apartment. Boudica loves having a window with a view!

    Construction crews have been replacing the lead pipes to every home the past month, so they spent all day watching the crew work outside

    Swapped the battery on my car

    This car is an absolute shitbox with a million electrical issues. Just got a new starter 2 weeks ago, and the alternator was replaced 18 months ago, so i knew the battery was the likely culprit.

    Anyway, gonna make my ancestors proud and go throw the old battery into Lake Erie

    Raspberry Pączkis i made for my coworkers today

    I had never heard about pączkis until i moved to Ohio. I guess we just didn't have large Polish populations in St. Louis. I had a bit of trouble filling them when i treid last week, but i think i figured it out last night.

    Furnace broke on Sunday, so my cats have become big fans of the heating pad this week

    Today marks six months since i got my sweet little Niniane

    I can't believe how much she has grown in the last 6 months! She's the sweetest little thing you can imagine, and such a little princess. She never bites or scratches people, even if she is getting fed up with me clipping her nails. If she isn't playing with Boudica then she is cuddled up on my lap or chest purring away. Both kitties purr as soon as someone starts to pet them, but Nini has such a squeaky purr that makes her sound like a squirrel. It's been a great 6 months (aside from her nibbling on everything in my pantry when i leave) and I'm excited for the next 6

    Ho-ho cake

    Here is the inside before i spread the ganache over it

    The recipe i used is available here. My favorite single mom in town asked me to make her a ho-ho cake for her birthday party tonight,and here is my final result! Where possible i have used vegan ingredients, although it does contain butter, buttermilk, and eggs. I live in a small rural town and finding vegan substitutes on a budget is very difficult. I made a test run for my friends this weekend and it fell apart in transit, but this time it survived the trip! The cream filling really needs a few hours in the fridge to stiffen up and not let the cake slide off.

    Got spayed and chipped today. Boudica decided she's gonna tough it out

    She's my little warrior queen. She's thougher than a bix of nails always trying to get her way.

    Niniane is unhappy and has been hiding under the bed and hissing ever since we got home. She's curled up on the heating pad at the foot of the bed and she seems content woth that for now. She keeps hissong at Bou though. Definitely does not want to deal with her right now.
