The fact that they are willing to return to the porch and eat from the food station where they were trapped less than 30 minutes after being released is very encouraging. In time we might be friends again, and they may come for pets and eat Churu from the tube instead of the porch. I’ll take it. 2/2

I haven’t seen Big Poppa on the camera trap since the other night, but I’m keeping an eye out. He’s top of the list for next TNR. 3/3

They were both ear tipped, and neighbor has been educated as to what TNR/ear-tipping means, so once we get the other two calicos he should hopefully not find any more kittens in his boat. /2

It’s my birthday on Tuesday. Just saying.

I appreciate you.

Thank you all again, so much, for all your donations and support. You all took care of a not insignificant amount of the vet bill for these kittens, as well as food, treats, and litter. I can’t thank you enough. I couldn’t have done any of this without you. 3/3

So, despite some encouraging signs and high hopes, I will make good on my promise to them and return them to my back porch. That’s what the “R” in “TNR” stands for. One more night indoors. I promised.

I’ll continue to care for them as best I can as community cats. Eddie is a sucker for Churu. /2

BFF adds: "ICE agents are also urged to hangout at crossroads in Appalachia. A special agent will appear at midnight and you should totally set up a trade with them."

I pulled the device, yanked the batteries out of the remote and tossed both in the tote that holds old electronics to take to the recycling depot. Fuck them.

I am also going to Letter of Shame them the moment I have more than two minutes to deal with that fuckery. I’ve got kittens to help. 3/3

HOLY JESUS FUCK whoever wrote/directed/put that together is a straight-up Nazi and I immediately (and I mean that fucking instant) yanked that thing out of my TV and cancelled my account with a very strongly worded message telling them about themselves.

I am beyond angry. How fucking DARE they. /2

Anyway, here's a long thread I did last year on out-of-print work, copyright, death of the author, etc, because I do have experience in this area.

That definitely goes in your butt. I’m going to say enema pump.
