Religion Cats

Lashanna brought home another lizard Thursday. Before I could put it outside, it scuttled under the spare refrigerator, currently unplugged and not in use. With Lashanna sitting guard, I had other things to do.
Yesterday I found the lizard's tail in the library. Lizards can detach themselves from their tails as a way to escape predators. I have no idea where the rest of the lizard is. Could still be hiding inside. Or got out on its own. Or Lashanna carried it out.
Suppose I have to tilt over refrigerator and pull out bookcases to find lizard dead or alive.

Ordered new scratching post. Lashanna has clawed her post to the wood, and now getting wood shavings all over the floor.

That's the cleaning products aisle.

And that's an axe.

Lashanna and I just awakened by earthquake. 4.1.

It's our anniversary! Lashanna's new scratching post scheduled to arrive today. Kind of hoping she does not bring me a present.

I did tell her even on our anniversary she is not allowed to sharpen her claws on the couch.

Lizard in my sneaker.

Dead? Alive? Tail? No tail?

Dead? Alive? Tail? No tail?

Alive. Tail. Put it outside.

Lashanna clawed her scratching post down to the wood, so got her a new one. Neighbor brought his drill to help assemble, it took two days with hand tool.

Not that she's spoiled. She is just a premium cat.

California outlawed declawing cats except if medically necessary. Declawing is not clipping nails, it is amputation of first joint of each toe. It leaves cats in constant pain.

Cats are predators and claws are their weapons. They need to be maintained. If given something to sharpen their claws on they will (mostly) leave furniture alone.

Anyone who can't cope with a small carnivore in the home should get a turtle or canary, not a cat.

Anyone who can't cope with a small carnivore in the home should get a large herbivore. If you have sufficient ceiling height, a giraffe is nice.

Lashanna trying to convince me she is a deprived cat who does not get enough treats.

After all this time feeding three stray siblings down the street, the orange male Ganymede now comes to be petted as well as fed. The two females Callista and Io are shyer. They approach but still won't let me touch them. Taming feral adults takes patience.

Got air vents and dryer vent cleaned. They found remains of a mouse tucked in vent.
