EVERYTHIGN IS FINE!!

CAN ANYBODY RECOMMEND AN AFFORDABLE BUT COMPLETE 24/7 NON INVASIVE BIOMETRIC MONITORING SYSTEM FOR CATS? PREFERABLY WITH BOTH LIVE AND AI MONITORS ON CALL

I JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO KNOW AT EVERY WAKING MOMENT THAT THE KITTENS ARE OKAY AND THEN I CAN RELAX!!!!!!!

Sugarfoot seems a little bored and SUPER clingy (though that might just be a little feline gratitude, NO THAT IS NOT AN OXYMORON 🐯​), but she and the peepers are doing well.

One of them did do the little gaspy thing I was worried about the other day, but now that I expected it and am not already stressed over other things... yeah, they're probably just learnibg to hiss or mew or something.

They do it 3-4 times, it comes out as a little "huff, huff, huff" and then they are absolutely normal. They seem to breathe 100% comfortably otherwise, and they both seem strong and a little feisty. I can't tell yet if they're gaining weight but... yeah, I don't have much trouble believing they'll both have their eyes open within the week.

Thanks to friends and family, we have so many towels, blankets, and baby wipes right now. We are armed to the teeth with kitten-wiping equipment. Bast bless us all, I suspect we're gonna need it. This is really happening. 🙀​

Oh.

*looks over at box in the middle of well-lit bedroom*

Huh.

*tears well up a little*

Okay.

We love you too, Sugarfoot. ;_;

Thank you all for the good wishes. I think we'll be OK, and after a 20-minute Arthur-pettin' session my biggest anxiety is that the little shit will finally succeed in eating one of my toes. =^_^;=

And, I mean, FUCK that top forecast is scary.

Yeah, not lovin' this at all.

If you've never read one of these before, it's not QUITE as scary as the track (right over NOLA 😨​) or the intensity graph (Cat 4 max 😱​) make it look.

If you check the hourly markers, they almost all have Hurricane Delta hitting us around the 96 hour mark. By that point, the storm's decelerated to a Cat 1 (which is a walk in the park for us) or a Cat 2 (which isn't, but NOLA's well-equipped for it).

And that one Cat 3 scenario is from the CTCI model. That's the one that flings way east to the Florida panhandle and if that's the case I genuinely wish them the best of luck.

Still. Argh. That's a REAL tight margin. Our local go-to weathe retiree Bob Breck is bearish on Delta and is pretty confident cooler waters in the N Gulf will take the piss out of it. But a possible Cat 4 in that close of a margin does not make me any LESS anxious about my life.

This. Sounds. Awesome.

Hey, @anthracite, any interest in learning German? I already speak a tiny bit. I wonder if they need artists and researchers...

that's a hell of a name for a city, Japan

Huh. Didn't expect that. That's... a lot of Wands and a lot of Void.

Except for that 8 of Cups. I think I did expect that.

well, dawn's in a right mood this morning too

High above the Dragon Lands, the Honored Elephant Of My Mate's Ancestors, Mistah Elmer, keeps a close eye on our masks.

Here we have the Dragon Lands, where tigers fear to tread. Option and Trina have nonetheless been living comfortably there for quite some time.
