Bengal Qat update: Vet scanned, breeder contacted as no owner data turned up. Breeder looked up in his database and finds that original purchaser of kitty gave bad info. No way to contact. Kitty born 7/31/17. Breeder pissed that cat was declawed. Said I can keep her, or he would send his daughter to pick her up. My CatLady friend will continue looking locally for her latest owner, even if not the original. We wouldn't put her back with them now anyway or whoever the ones that had her declawed.
I've officially been catted.
2 days of coming in and out and chose this morning to come up to my lap.
But taking her to the vet today to see who she's chipped with and get her back home. #Caturday
2/2 Wallace continues:
“They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest.
“Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”
Thom Hartman, quoting FDR's 2nd VP Henry Wallace (a Socialist in fine standing): “The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact,” Wallace wrote. “Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy.”

From The Lever; "Banning stock buybacks, excessive shareholder dividends, or skyrocketing executive compensation would reset company incentives and free up trillions of dollars for workers and climate. There are enough resources to implement transformational technology and ensure that workers can live dignified lives. Labor organizers and climate activists have a common enemy: a billionaire class intent on hoarding resources for themselves."
Good morning my beautiful CoSo friends.
☕ While I'm making coffee. I'll show you a picture of il qat that seems to be moving in. She started by occupying the chair on the porch at the front door in the last weeks. Last night appeared upstairs in the apartment as apparently the door blew ajar. After calmly checking out things in all corners she ensconced herself here. She was awarded with sardine snak, water, and some dog kibble which she ate with grace and calm. After a bit, asked to go out.
Good Wednesday my 'Nautys.
From Mary Trump's email The Good In Us. She says "This is the only recording of “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine” anybody should ever listen to. Trust me."

“On the day of our victory, I’ll put away my uniform, don an elegant gown and heels, and celebrate. I’ll get married and have a big happy family. But I’ll never forget the men & women who died for our freedom," Ivanna Lemeshko once wrote.
Ivanna died in combat this week.

I think I need to rip out all the sunflowers along the curb soon. I hate it, but I trash them. They're too fibrous to compost, and if I do, my compost is full of seeds and useless. #gardening
