Zelda & Astra

Adopted 2 girls from the same alleged litter (2 different fathers?), not providing kitteh support. (Separate from my political account)

Zelda is waiting patiently for her daily TV time.
We'll probably watch 'Stranger Things' later tonight.

I think Zelda may be OCD.
When she gets her lap rubbies, she has to face south. Never north.
When she gets her couch cuddles, she has to face west. Never east.

If she accidentally settles down in the wrong direction, she will immediately get up and do a circuit of the room

I'm at the point where I stopped daily sweeping and just pick up the dust bunnies.

Zelda hangs out on #Caturday while Astra hides from her meds.

Poor Astra loves her sunny spot under my desk. The balcony window faces east, and the sun is tracking more to the south now. It's a very narrow early morning window. She has other things on her schedule, so it's the south-facing window upstairs.

Zelda and Astra, a week after adoption. Their belly fur was growing back.

Yesterday afternoon, I placed a couple of boards under the foot of the bed because the frame was too low for me to get under. Astra hid from her meds 3x a day for nearly a year.

The minor elevation helped me sleep like a rock. (bonus)

Today, Astra didn't know where to hide. #Catsky #Cats

The end is nigh, Gingers and Voids sleeping together...

Astra used to sit on the back of my chair while I was working. (Her sister Zelda would too and groom my bald head.) Yesterday Astra was reliving old times.

"YOU'RE IN MY SPOT!" Astra is glaring at Zelda.

Zelda was demanding I move my butt over so she could have her spot to watch 'TV time'.
But Astra was already on my left with no room to move.

Walmart's cheaper Thanksgiving under Trump is just another lie.

Fewer items than the prior year under Biden, and swapping store brands for name brands.

It isn't cheaper. Just shittier. Like Trump.

I guess all that lobbying by H&R Block really paid off.
How much did they give to the ballroom?

Zelda is seriously into 'Dark Winds' on @netflix.com

She watches raptly from my hip.
She's really into shows with native peoples. (Also British tv. She's multicultural)

It took years for them not to jump every time I sneeze. But Zelda still doesn't like to be disturbed at nap time.

Now that she's seven, she's mostly given up her kitten pica/gnawing problem, and I can finally replace the blinds.

She's her own self.
It was funny the first time I took her to a vet after adoption, and he thought her nose had a wound. I was like, dude, pigment? Changed vets. Good vet now has most of her crystal issues under some control. #RxKittehz

I feed our #ferals downstairs every morning. Yesterday afternoon, Gloria and Shadow came for a visit.
Gloria loves her rubbies and scritches. Shadow scents up my ankles to the dismay of Astra and Zelda indoors.

In the battle for the top perch this morning, Zelda knocked Astra off, and she crashed down into the catnip plant.
Both survived. (Though the nip plant may need some care.) Astra's pride was hurt. She decided to tunnel.

I was gaming this AM with my kitteh headphones on. Someone (Zelda) gacked a hairball next to my desk that I never heard.

Astra is looking smug because it wasn't her.

Astra and Zelda are 7 years old today. (estimated, as per the shelter's bio, they were found in a backyard)

Do #cats care about birthdays? Nope? Nope.

It's all about the nappin'...

The end is nigh... They are cuddling in the oft-disputed top perch. First time in seven years (at least that I've been a witness.)

There is hope for Israel and Palestine. 😻

#Cats It didn't last long. Zelda needed a snack.
