Laundry

I just don’t understand what the fuck is wrong with people. If you don’t want people touching your clothes, then don’t leave them sitting in the washing machine. I don’t know how long they’ve been there, and I don’t know how long it’s going to be before you come back for them. People leave clothes in the machines all the time, and sometimes they NEVER come back for them. After a few weeks, maintenance throws them away. So I’m supposed to just wait for Mr. Asshole to get around to taking his clothes out of the washers? How in the hell is that reasonable?

Those used to be my mom’s chimney. It was leaning away from the house, so she had it taken down. For a while the bricks sat in a tumbled pile in the side yard, and they finally were stacked neatly. Now, the stacked bricks are covered with Virginia creeper and fox grape vines.

Kittens Available

Hello, local people! Need a cat? (Doesn’t everyone? A house is not a home without a cat, right?)

Kittens

These are the kittens of a cat my neighbor has taken in. The mamma and kittens are all available for adoption.

The kittens are about 6 weeks old now, so they’ll be ready to go in a couple of weeks. It looks like there are six boys and one girl. The girl is a dilute tortie. The boys are: 2 orange tabby, 2 black and silver tabby, 1 grey, and 1 black.

They have been handled by kids and multiple adults. They are not shy! They have also been acclimated to traveling in a carrier in the car. They are happy, healthy, playful and ridiculously cute.

Mamma Cat

The mamma will be available, too. She is a petite dark tortie and will soon be spayed. She’s semi-feral but is taming down very nicely. She’s comfortable being in the same room with me, even though she doesn’t know me. I’ve got a lot of experience with ferals, and I don’t think it will take much for her to become acclimated to a new home and new people. I’d take her in a heartbeat, because she’s a pretty little cat with a sweet disposition, but I’m at maximum capacity.

(Please excuse the crappy cell phone photos. I didn’t have my camera with me.)
