It’s been a while! Here’s an old pic of Pewter and Barnaby.
My life has been taken over by the cats I mentioned, in the best way. I’ve trapped 12 (!) feral cats so far this year, got them fixed, returned some for release, and adopted a few sweethearts.
I’m pretty sure the ratties I’ve had over the years are the reason why I’m able to help these kitties. The Critter Nation has been the recovery space for several cats, and I feel a lot of my gut feelings about when something is wrong (or when something is right) is directly from what the ratties taught me.
Will I ever have rats again? I sure hope so. I am and always will be (forever and ever!) a rat person. I love rats. I will keep thinking about rats. I will draw rats, make art about rats, and tell people how rats are wonderful. One day, a rat (or six) who needs help will cross paths with me, and I will have rats again.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. Stay cool in this heat, be safe, hug your animals, and have a wonderful long weekend coming up. I will pay the cat tax in another post.
