Friday Cat Blogging – 5 November 2021

This cat is the mascot of Cajun Encounters. I met her after taking one of their swamp tours.

She was willing to let me scratch her head, but then got a little discommoded by the crowd and wandered off to her hidey hole. Judging by the condition of her left ear, there must have been at least one dark night when she didn't get to her hidey hole quite quickly enough.

      That's a possibility, but considering the location, I'd bet on an encounter with a very young gator. They are born aggressive, and at an early age they aren't big enough to take down even a kitten, but their teeth at that age are still razor sharp.

            The funny thing is that there is a Disqus comment plug-in for WordPress which is probably as easy to use as the photo box plug-in he discovered a couple of weeks ago! Apparently it will even import the comments from this sucky comment system to make the transition seamless!

              It also seems lately that Disqus has actually been working on a few things with the service, after letting it limp along for so long in a broken state.

    Especially because it is the left ear that is clipped when a feral cat has been neutered.

    But i think a truly feral cat is unlikely to welcome or even tolerate petting unless ot has become accustomed to feedings by regular visitors. I trapped one really feral cat who then got along fine with my other two male cats. I didn't keep another one who seemed closer to accepting humans, possibly having been abandoned, & I regret having listened to the one local vet who agreed to perform the surgery, but warned against taking him in. Continued feedings, but he disappeared, possibly the victim of a fox or coyote.

    Hope that the mascot cat receives regular checkups & shots.

      Hopefully, where James O'Queef is reduced to working, too.

      His pimpsuit is perfect for a combo platter rentboi/party clown.

    Kevin, just a culinary recommendation while you're down in Cajun and Creole Country...

    With all the delicacies offered it is easy to overlook the relatively mundane sounding "red beans and rice," but if done right (and it should be pretty much anywhere around where you are), it's a fantastic dish.

    No net new jobs for October post?

    I guess reporting 500,000 new jobs (410,000 actually, factoring in Kevin's 90,000 being necessary for population growth) & upward revisions for August & September would be too much good joebiden news & decrease Kevin's odds of getting that plum job in the Hawley-Gabbard regime.
