I keep a dish of kibble available for my cats at all times. I have some canned food left from the stuff I bought for Pingpong, and have been giving Sunny & Sooti a can a day.
It reminds me of when my cousin Alan was a toddler and came to visit our family in Milwaukee. He saw our family cat, Kitty, under the kitchen table, and went to his dish. He picked out a kibble, then set it down in front of him, telling him to eat it. So, he did, acting like he was getting room service.
No no no no no. Steenky overprocessed packaged theengs is bad for cats health. Gives em real foods steenky hoomins. Like fishies, meats, real foods they is eats.

Terpsichore: It’s always a pleasure to visit the Water Cat family. How is everyone doing?
Cold Water Cat: Wonderfully. My son Swift Water is the proud papa of two kittens, Fresh and Salty.
Kira: That’s great news! Congratulations!
Cold: And now I have a favor to ask. My friend Captain Growl Tiger has an apprentice sailor who needs to learn to dance. He’s going for a Dancing Corsair scholarship so he can go to scribe school*
Kira: I would be glad to meet him.
Sometime Later
Kira: Pleased to meet you, Elvis-Anum.
Elvis: The pleasure is all mine. I love the sea, but my dream is to become a scribe, perhaps for the Royal Palace some day.
Kira: Then let us begin.
After many lessons
Kira: You have done very well. I think you are ready to try for a Dancing Corsair scholarship.
Elvis: Wonderful. I have my song all picked out for my audition.

*No, I have no idea why there’s a Dancing Corsair requirement for scribe school.
Jora gets her second infusion this morning. It said online that the infusions could take 3 to 4 hours. Her first one took less than 30 minutes. It apparently depends on who manufactures the infusion.
This has nothing to do with cats, but it does have a little to do with games (like Jumble).
I have been doing workshops with kids of all ages in libraries and other locales. I have been thinking of doing a “Make Your Own Board Game” workshop, and wonder if any of my Orb Friends have any experience with creating board games, whether for kids or adults. Are there any books or websites I could visit?
My Olivia, who is seventeen and starting to go senile, would have no interest in extra food. Unless I’m holding it. I’m her senility she has started begging for food like a dog. The thing is, if I give her some, she will not eat it. She’ll just nose it a bit and then return to begging, proving that it isn’t the food she’s interested in, it’s the begging. Or, more succinctly, it’s not the having, it’s the getting.
Joyous congratulations to DD for persevering in her career path and scoring her dream job. My husband used to critique books and the occasional movie for Starlog. He would have jumped to high heaven if he had your opportunities, but that was not his path. Best of luck!!

If my cats get free range kibble like that, the gray guy will go around shoving the other cats away from the food so he can snarf like crazy.
And then he will barf like crazy. He does NOT know the limits of his tummy’s capacity.

My Olivia, who is seventeen and starting to go senile, would have no interest in extra food. Unless I’m holding it. I’m her senility she has started begging for food like a dog. The thing is, if I give her some, she will not eat it. She’ll just nose it a bit and then return to begging, proving that it isn’t the food she’s interested in, it’s the begging.
