Shauna Malwae-Tweep is the tabby and she’s still here, ready to schedule her surgery now that she’s hitting weight. Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa Saperstein both hit weight, got fixed and got adopted after attending a budget meeting (very fitting, “money please!”).27 May 2026 20:18 +0000at://did:plc:whdk6mwmlmly62kf4b4uuvst/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmudbpg62k2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/alonechark.bsky.social/post/3mmucne52222iMy coworker took these photos of me at our adoption event at the mall.

I took Finkle to work to get his current rabies vaccine and I gave him his FVRCP so that was kind of cool, stabbing my own cat. He didn't like it, but he forgave me.24 Apr 2026 16:17 +0000at://did:plc:whdk6mwmlmly62kf4b4uuvst/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkawg5npps27https://bsky.app/profile/alonechark.bsky.social/post/3mfd37j6do22zYesterday was my Friday at work and I spent time cuddling these four babies during my break. Don’t let the hiss from Thomas fool you – he loved me. Cat overpopulation season is coming. Please consider fostering and/or donating to your local shelters (or my local shelter lol).

Finkle is happy to see us, the girls are running around playing (I swear they got bigger 😭). I’m exhausted – I couldn’t stay awake at the in-laws’ house or for the ride home. Grateful for a good con.

It turns out that having a physical job makes you really tired and unable to do anything.

Washi tucked herself between the couch and my leg and started cleaning herself. She got sleepy, I guess, and left her ear like that.

I’ve missed those forbidden poms. Last night Washi brought her sparkly orange pom to bed. (It’s her showgirl pom.)
