Calico-san

My roommate set up this gofundme page for the little calico kitten that we’re currently fostering. I’m posting this here in case anyone would like to help out in any way. Any help, be it a donation or sharing this, is greatly appreciated!

Calico-san’s Vet Bills

After sleeping most of the night, the kitten seems to be feeling much better, so taking her to the vet to get checked out was definitely the right call.

Forest Park in Autum

Last weekend I tagged along with Katie over to Forest Park for another photo assignment she needed to get done. I actually hadn’t really been over there to walk around before, so there’s another place I can mark off my list. It’s lovely there in autumn, though it was super overcast that day. Here’s a few shots that I took.

I had Mamo-chan with me again. I really like how the colours in this one turned out.

The STL Science Center is nearby, so of course I had to get a shot of the T-Rex.

After we left that location, we headed over to The Muny to get a few more shots. We didn’t get to take as many there though because there were too many wedding parties getting photos taken.

I look forward to going back there again! Hopefully next time there will fewer big groups of wedding parties.

Ending this with a Rio since it’s National Cat Day.

Phantom Phriday Vol. 11

ppv11

This week’s Phantom Phriday is cutting it a little close to being out of Friday, so here’s a quick post featuring Aya and Rio!

Aya is really starting to take after Rio. She copies Rio if she sees her doing something, like flopping over like this.

She’s also started to bring Rio toys that Rio loves playing with (milk rings and brightly coloured strings), which makes her look more like Rio’s servant. I’m sure Rio thinks of her as that anyway, haha.

I took some footage of the two playing around, so enjoy and happy Friday! (what’s left of it anyway..!)

Paw Prints in the Snow

Snowing again today and I’m stuck here in a cubicle when I’d rather be home snuggling with the cats. At least I have that to look forward to after work.

Rio had her first little trek in the snow last week. More like a few steps, as she was on our deck, but I’m not sure she liked it very much. She left these cute little paw prints for me though.

I think she’s more of a watching the snow fall kind of kitty rather than a prance around in the snow type.

Also, signal boosting this for a friend of mine. Her kitties experienced a strange, unknown-as-of-yet illness, which resulted in a very large vet bill. Both kitties seem to be doing fine now. If you can either contribute to help them out or just spread the link, they’ll appreciate it!

Phantom Phriday Vol. 9

Phantom Phriday Caturday edition since I forgot to push this post out of my drafts yesterday. Oops.

I may or may not have mentioned it here before, but the youngest kitten and ruler of the house, Rio, absolutely loves  cat cubes. So much that we have to replace them every month because she loves them too much. Even the one we got for her a week or so ago is already looking battered.

To see a cat cube go rolling across the living room floor is a nightly occurrence.

Happy Fri-Weekend!

Phantom Phriday Vol. 7

IMG_7921

We have two guests this week! As I mentioned in a previous post, we went to a stargazing party and the couple that hosted it has two pretty kitties. One was a bit more sociable than the other, so I was able to take quite a few pictures of him. He’s a cute little guy!

His housemate came out a little later. She’s shy, but very friendly. Sadly, I didn’t get a good picture of her because the other one kept distracting her. She’s a pretty kitty as well!

And a bonus shot of two I usually see when I wake up.

Happy Friday!

Happy new year!

Of course the first picture of the new year is going to be a feline.

My New Year’s Eve was uneventful, but relaxing. New Year’s Day was about the same, but I did manage to finish a a clay project that I’ve been wanting to get done.

ALbear

These were meant to be Christmas presents for ALvino, but work and my Etsy shop had me pretty busy during the holiday season, so I never got a chance to start on them. I still need to sand and glaze them before I ship them off. I hope they like them!

I hope everyone had a happy start to the new year☆
