His full name is Scooter Bug, because when he was a kitten he would incessantly bug the other cats. Here's him as a kitten
Scooter sprawled out. Bandit cozy in his gated bed under the chair.

Noki sleeping just outside the bed
Scooter was holding Bandit still and cleaning his face. Felt like this pic was pretty well timed
So Scooter started peeing in places he shouldn't. We had him checked for UTI and that came back negative. Vet said his last four teeth were showing redness around the gums and that could be causing him pain and explain the peeing. So we got the teeth pulled, and all was well for about 5 days. Then he started holding his jaw open kinda weird right before his checkup... Turns out his lower jaw had broken, likely because of the extraction weakening the bone where the tooth used to sit. Ok, another surgery to wire the lower jaw back together. We had a vacation planned and he would barely eat for the pet sitter so he lost 2lbs and got an infection because the medicine was in the food that he wouldn't eat. Once we got home and took him for a shot of antibiotics and steroids, he bounced back and is now eating with a vengeance and the infection cleared up overnight. He had been drooling and it was matting his fur but after I cleaned him up and got him the shots, he's looking happy and healthy and no longer drooling. Wire comes out next Monday and hopefully this will be the end of all his troubles.

Noki likes to sleep on the foot rest of the couch.

What if the real deep state is the people who convinced you not to pay your bills so that they can come in and buy your shit for pennies and turn it into a rental property? Isn't that more believable?

You know it! Gotta be the women's socks too because they are legit ankle socks, better colors, and thin enough for the summer heat in Nevada.
Where you been human?
I cut this dog toy open and filled it with catnip. All my cats really like it. I also filled a sock with catnip and tied it in a knot. They mostly prefer the sock but I think it's because there is way more catnip in it. Lol

No it's pretty much all black or very dark brown when seen in direct sunlight. His skin is snow white though.

I built a $2000 PC during the early pandemic days. Now I sit on my bed 5 feet away from that PC and play steam deck.
One minute he's an absolute terror and then just flips the switch to ultra chill mode.

Hahaha. He's just really stretched out. They are pretty standard length.

Just the pose.
Pretty impressive glow up. He looked so runty the day we brought him home and now he's just a real handsome dude.

I don't want to give credence to their bullshit but they believe that "driving" is only done commercially. So if you're operating a motor vehicle for personal errands and such you are simply a "traveler", but if you are operating the vehicle to deliver goods or services then you are a "driver".

Their arguments about needing a license for driving vs traveling are dumb but I can at least kind of see where they are coming from. The part about not needing insurance is what dumbfounds me. Like if a sovcit gets in a wreck do they think the person they hit will just accept a fucking coupon?

We've got a 2019 Rav and I can't remember how, but you can adjust the height that the door opens to by some series of button pushes. We had to lower it so that it doesn't hit the frame of the garage door when opening it inside the garage. Maybe just adjust it so that it doesn't open all the way and it'll be easier for her to reach the button?

They love sun bathing out there. I got one of those window inserts that has a cat door built in and I cut a square out of the cage that lines up with the window so they can go out anytime they want. 😻

I see you have a treat puzzle. I've been thinking about getting one of those for my snowshoe. Does she enjoy it?

So with these dudes, everything was always calm and peaceful... Until one day Noki snuck outside while I was letting my cousins dog inside. When he came back a few hours later and I let him in, Scooter absolutely freaked out and attacked him. Chased him all through the house hissing and spitting. Had to keep them separated for a week or so and give them treats together to ease them into a shaky truce. Things have gotten better but there are still occasional spats for no reason. Cats gonna cat I guess.

Lol. I think it was just a stray whisker, maybe from one of his brothers. He just wanted me to put my legs flat on the bed so he can lay between them. If my legs are up like that or crossed, he'll come gently claw at them until I put them how he likes.

Hahaha. So about 5 min after I took the picture one of them readjusted and that set off a chain reaction. Noki jumped up, Bandit hissed at him and then Scooter jumped up to chase Noki. I was able to pin Scooter to the couch and avoid any further violence. 😂

Yeah, there are still occasional bouts but nothing that sounds like a back alley cat brawl anymore. I think at this point Scooter just doesn't understand when Noki doesn't want to play so it'll escalate to some hissing and maybe a chase.

Awe, I'll tell him you said so and give him a forehead kiss. You can browse my post history to see more of him and his bros😃

Apparently it's pretty common to find guns. There was a video floating around a while ago of some guys that pulled up a gun and called the cops to report it and turn it in. The cops were mostly annoyed about the whole thing though.

Is it just me or does it look like the picture didn't load all the way? I tried viewing from my alt and it looked the same.
