Yeah, if it came in 'medium' or 'large' I'd probably buy a couple.

Happy Halloween, my dears! I see the meerkats are on the prowl again and the pic upload feature has fallen into their hands. Wonder what the ghost shrimp are up to tonight...
Yesterday my daughter called me in the afternoon and asked if I'd like to ride with her on a short trip. As I don't spend as much time with her as I'd like, and I enjoy her company, I said yes. Oh lordy, lordy, how I wish I had said no. We went one town over, to Sanger, to see a woman who had placed an ad for free kittens on Craig's list.
My dream cat is a wildly colorful calico, and I've wanted one for a very long time. You may or may not know, that I live "out in the country", so when people don't want their cats anymore, they drive "out in the country" and dump them out of their car. So I have no need of going out and getting a cat because they just automatically show up on my doorstep - frequently. At the moment I only have 4. This is real light weight for me. I've had upwards of 10 in the past.
My cat regimen is to chase them away. If they come back and stick around for a couple weeks, I trap them, take them to the vet to be spayed or neutered, then release them back onto my property.
So I rode with my daughter to this gal's house in Sanger. When we pulled in, there were two pit bulls in the front yard. We drove around back as we were told to, and went into the house with the lady. There were cats all over the place. She had two litters that she had advertised. One litter was three months old and the other were 5 weeks old. And because the mothers were orange tabby, the babies were all very colorful. And, wouldn't you just know it, there was a calico in each litter. The older calico was very shy, and I couldn't get a good look at her, but the little one, Patch, was very friendly and purred when I picked her up. Well, I knew right away I was going to take her home. But I didn't want to have to spend my day entertaining a very young kitty, so I also took Rusty, an orange tabby with white paws and a white bib.
Truth be told, I THINK these kitties are younger than 5 weeks. They don't really know how to use the litter box, just pooping in their bed whenever the spirit moves them. And sometimes the poop is left half in and half out. I'm having to "wipe" them to make them go.
They are used to eating ONLY dry Purina kitten chow. And they are good eaters. I've only seen Rusty drink water. I don't want to upset their tender digestive tracts, but come on folks. . . only dry Purina Kitten Chow?
They both have goopy eyes - dry goop, not runny, and dried poop under their tails. My daughter (who took one of the older kittens) and I are going to the vet with the kittens this afternoon for a check-up. I don't want to clean up their eyes and tails until the vet has seen them. And after they're cleaned up, I'll take pictures of them for you all to see.

Nasty cold weather front blowing in from West to East now. Our temps are reportedly going to drop 30-35 degrees as it moves in. Tornado activity too.
MARYLAND — Conditions are favorable for the development of a tornado in much of Maryland Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. It issued a tornado watch that applies to most of the state. The tornado watch is effective from 2:55 p.m. until midnight to tonight.

We have heavy rain and strong winds (50+ mph) coming in for the weekend too - not Tornado strength though thank goodness.
Hope you aren't too badly affected.
They'll keep you busy Yvonne, looking forward to seeing the pics.
Happy Hallowe'en to you and your family too, Lena.

How are things in Canada?
Good to hear you're getting some relief from the pain Ray, and hope the PT helps too.
Happy Halloween everyone!
congratulations! Hope they are well and can’t wait to see...
Stay warm and covered!
I’ve wondered the same... @Joes Mum
Congrats on your new family members.
Good morning all and happy Friday!
I haven't been outside yet this a.m. to see if any hooligans t-papered my cactus garden or anything like that. Ever since someone chopped off several nice big branches off one of my cactus I've been feeling insecure in my safety here.
We survived! Another inch of rain to end out October. Didnt lose power, sun is up, no trees down.
Good morning everyone, licking my wounds from therapy yesterday. Heat pack on my lower back and cold pack on my knee. My wife will take care of Opo today.
