It’s a good time to remind readers that Fred writes books and has a bunch for sale on Amazon. They are mysteries.
Fred’s book are available at Amazon on Kindle and paperback. There are no mysteries, though – some are horror, some are suspense, and The Convert has some paranormal aspects. (Note: his horror is particularly gross. Please don’t let your children read any of it.) He’s currently at work on something that will appeal to the younger readers.

Is Alice a cuddler? I have a young calitabby (foster fail) who is sweet as she can be, but does not like to be picked up and is not into laps. I pet her when she’s on the kitty tree, or I sit on the floor.
Just wondering if this is a calitabby thing or a Bandit thing.
Alice is not a cuddler. She’ll sit next to Fred and demand to be petted, but she doesn’t want to cuddle, she just wants petting and to sit and gaze at him with adoration.

Can you share the humidifier brand name that you are using? Thanks!!
Upstairs I have two Pure Enrichment humidifiers (this one) and downstairs I have two LEVOIT LV600S humidifiers (this one ). We’re on our third year with them, and they’re standing strong. I like them, especially the fact that they’re all top-fill so I can just walk around with a water pitcher twice a day and fill them up.

Everybody! Stop what you are doing and read the 2015 entry! OMG, the cuteness.
2015 was a good writing year, I guess!

I don’t remember Carson in 2024, which litter is he from?
From waterdragon: Carson was actually an adult foster, not part of a litter of kittens – you can read more about him here.
(Thanks, waterdragon!) Carson showed up on our doorstep in mid-May and was really only with us for a few weeks so he could be neutered and vetted. He was all set to go to Petsmart, but someone spotted him online, fell in love with him, and adopted him, so it worked out well. At the time we were fostering Meander and the Hopalongs, Pita was still with us (we hadn’t figure out what was going on with her, health-wise), AND we were briefly caring for Tala and the Coins, so I didn’t post about Carson all that much.

What is the name of that hanging door mouse toy? I think my cats would like it!
Amazon has it listed as “2 Pack Hanging Door Bouncing Mouse Cat Toy” – and here’s the link right here!

If Richie has bronze eyes, what color are Carmy’s?
Ya got me. They’re emerald green around the pupil and kind of brown around the outside – so… hazel? Green/gold? Opinions?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WARNING: the pictures in this section are of Carmy “with” his mama Natalie (Carmy in the present, Natalie via pictures behind him). If it might make you too sad to look at them, feel free to click here to skip them.
Carmy was sitting on my desk, and I thought “Well, here’s a way to get a picture of a nearly-grown Carmy with Natalie!”
He really does look a lot like her. He’s got her nose! I don’t know that I realized how much he resembles her.
I actually started a video of her playing to see if he would look at it, but my heart wasn’t ready for that.

Richie (left) and Carmy gaze out the window; Tina keeps an eye on those troublesome boys from the floor.
Richie’s all “What doin’, lady?”
Tina just loves to stretch those front legs out as far as she can.

Charlie and Khal, hanging out on Fred’s bed. Charlie loves Khal, Alice loves Khal, everyone loves Khal – I wish Charlie and Alice got along this well!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday.
Happy Thlurrrpsday! (From left: Richie, Carmy and Tina)
Throw Back Thursday: Shelton, from 2015. When your camera is set on “panoramic” and you don’t realize it. (I will never not laugh at this picture.)

Throw Back Thursday: From 2011, Ciara (from the McMao litter – Maggie’s babies!) first says “hi” and then admits that she’s da BAYbee.

Throw Back Thursday: Andouille (from the Cajuns litter) from 2017: that last step is a doozy!

Richie is TRAPPED! (not really) under the Santa bed, escapes with a little help from Carmy, and then doesn’t want to share his floofy yellow cat toy. RUDE.
Good night innernets. (Richie (back) and Carmy)
