So, Loki is a conundrum. She is scared, but violent. Absolutely murderous, but likes an ear rub once she calms down. She bites, hard and fast (I've avoided this).
She reminds me A LOT of Milton who was my first adult feral and five years later is my sweetest snuggle bug.

I have added Ginny's dental medication to our Throne Wishlist.
Illoura Animal Refuge has had a rotten week with $4k+ in vet bills, so I'm trying to help.

The blood sacrifice has been accepted and now she will do playtime with the feather wand.
I also offered a small piece of sacrificial bacon which was appreciated. (Don't come for me, it was fingernail sized)

as i say regularly: the trick is not to post careful well crafted thoughts on a single topic once a day, the trick is throw every single thing you have at the wall and occasionally something will stick"
many social media managers will encourage you to spread your posts throughout the day but why do that when you have 500 thoughts and you could just literally post them all at the same time

In other news, Loki is BIG FURIOUS and very hitty/spotty/hissy/lunge-y.
I have paid in blood twice today, and wasn't even trying to bother her!
I think she's grumpy Ahsoka left, even though she would also be grumpy if Ahsoka tried to cuddle her.

Had to go do some things at Dad's place today. But these tulips I bought for mum a few years ago were almost flowering and it's bittersweet.
I'll raid her garden when my house is finished and bring things home to live with me.

We are stepping up The Desensitisation Of Loki because she really would like to be out of the crate and I really would like to not die of Cat Bite.

Barney! Barney got desexed yesterday so hurray for no testicles. But they also x-rayed his lungs and dude is A MESS.
He's being switched to a steroid puffer to see if that helps. His lungs are full of scarring and he wouldn't have survived much longer without human intervention.

Ahsoka would like to be BFFs immediately with Ginny thank you.
She is amazingly cat friendly and introduction to Gen Pop is going smoothly.
Ginny's ears are due to my failure to properly scritch her, how dare I take photos.

I really do have a soft spot for the angriest black girls.
Estelle is perpetually furious, communicates by growling and hissing, and haaates other cats.
But she also lets me use her as a pillow and lays in my arms like a baby. Best cat.

I scooped her out of the crate this morning and she was so scared and so soft on my lap briefly.
She has discovered all the good hidey spots in the studio, and while she was Very Scared, she let me pat her still.

I shifted Loki's bed TWICE while I cleaned and scooped litter, and this apparently necessitates lots of spitting and slapping?
But we had apology treats and I was allowed to rub her head.

Excitement! Loki let me give her lots of ear rubs, and didn't feel the need to keep her eyes on me every second!
I think she even enjoyed it.

I touched Cadence at breakfast and she LET ME and she enjoyed her butt scritches!
(Cadence is the black cat - she's been here since January. She was SO terrified when she arrived. Socialisation has been slow.)

Ahsoka would like to let everyone know it was VERY SCAWWY being gently lifted off the litterbox lid and placed into the bed. (So I could scoop litter)
But she didn't panic! This photo was after the scooping and some big pats, when she was letting her ears back out of safety position.

No panic, no whapping.
I also very gently rubbed an ear.
