Late entrant into the photo-a-day game! Photo 1: kid and cat

October 9th, 2025 at 04:25 am

I've been wanting to get more active on the blogs again for, like, years, but the things I need and love to do have just expanded and filled every nook and cranny of my life, it seems. So blogging at the level I used to just seemed daunting. This photo game feels like a low-stakes (in terms of time and mental effort) way to hang out with y'all more, so I'm going to try. If I happen to take a photo and if I happen to remember to post it, I shall.

This was the only pic I took today. Our kitchen's heated floor just got turned on after our unseasonably warm fall finally cooled off, and so immediately the critters started gravitating to it. This is my oldest kid (AA, 15) and one of our two old cats, Whiskers (Whiskey). He's the one with cancer; he's also got a benign tumor on his back (unrelated to the terminal cancer) that he'll scratch until it's gouged and bleeding, so we put him in baby shirts now. He can even do a lot of damage through T-shirt material, so AS sews denim patches over the tumor spot. Now he can scratch to his heart's content and not bloody up his back!

    Glad you're going to do it! A study in grays here! Interesting perspective.

    Poor Whiskey. He looks stylish at least with that striped shirt.

    Yay, I am glad you joined the challenge too!

    The warm floors sound very inviting. & Whiskey's shirt is adorable. (My first cat was named Whiskers. My parents were in a 'naming cats after liquor' phase, though they are teetotalers. ???)
