Day 264 — Vet

We got the first round of shots out of the way today; boosters come in three weeks. Then the requisite snip-snip to make sure we end up with no inbred babies.

Day 226 — Because I Have Given Up on Making Out With Humans

Just kidding. But you’d want to make out with him, too, if he hopped up on your bed. And just so no on thinks I’m playing kitty favorites, here’s a picture of Sally at the exact moment I tried to make out with her. She no likey. Project 365
