I'm an unpaid Illustrator of animal antics and portraiture, an animal activist, a nature lover, a low budget advocate of the arts, and I enjoy using quirky humor to make my point with genuine unbridled cattitude.

George Reminds You to Spread Love and Kindness
International Animal Day
International Animal Day
It’s #WorldAnimalDay 🐾🧡
Today is for the pets we adore, the wildlife we share our world with, and especially those animals still waiting for someone to love them.
Be their voice.
Show them kindness.
And if you can, support the wonderful people who rescue them.

George Suggests to Spread Kindness Today As If It Was Like Shedding Cat Hair, Teaching Everyone and Everywhere...
Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday
Spread kindness around like cat hair, everywhere, on everything, and impossible to get rid of.
No surface should remain untouched.

The saga continues...
The continuing saga of Hedgehog's road trip around Puget Sound continues with the arrival of Winny in Seattle, where she will meet up w/Hedgehog in a Bellevue garden & hit the road w/him. They will then head northwest on a long adventurous trek to the Dungeness Spit.

Meanwhile out on Puget Sound, Hedgehog visits a well tended garden in Bellevue where a clouder of curious cats reside. Rolling up & hissing while shaking like a bowl of prickly jelly only creates more curiosity. Hedgehog hopes he can make friends w/the cats & not have to deal w/a pesky challenge.

Obviously Joe is not amused. EVERYone MUST know it's not golf per se that can change ur life. Only Miniature Golf that has the power to do that!
This is my cat Joe.
This is my cat Joe after seeing The Legend of Bagger Vance.
Joe was not amused by Robert Redford’s famously awful film about how golf can show us all how to live our lives.
Joe’s expression says it all; I will now have to spend the day making this up to him.
Namaste, Joe!

George is checking all the news feeds to make sure there are no tariffs affecting his Treato supply. Whew... it's just the result of the Treato Collection Point being neglected by the hoomin attending it oversleeping this morning.
The sign clearly says TREATO COLLECTION POINT. I have presented myself for collection
I don’t wish to complain, but the Treato Collection Point appears to be experiencing severe supply-chain issues.
I’d like to speak to someone in management

Looks like a road trip might be in the works soon, as Hedgehog extends an invitation to Winny to join him on the coast.

Never feel the need to apologise for doing what you need to do to protect your peace of mind. Setting boundaries, stepping away, saying no, or simply choosing yourself isn’t selfish. Sometimes protecting your peace is the kindest thing you can do for yourself.

Been trying to master this for many decades. Doing very well at the being annoying part. Working on achieving the desired reinforcing result from those who appreciate snark.
