@emmettdoog.bsky.social One of the kittens wants a May-December romance with our 16 year old cat who is NOT interested. The boys are almost 3 months old. They don’t even reach the bottom of her head. 😹

RIP Gloria Steinem. Her impact on American culture and on women’s lives is immeasurable.

Who wore it better, Sam or Joey?

Happy Ginger (or Orange or Red) Cat Appreciation Day to Sam and Joey! These two have brought so much joy to our lives in the six weeks we’ve had them.

RIP Dolly Parton. I saw Dolly Parton in 1975 at the Grand Ole Oprey. I had watched her for years on The Porter Waggoner Show. Peerless songwriter and humanitarian. Her imagination library changed lives.

These two boys make me smile. #gingercat

The boys’s names don’t fit.

Now we have Sam Cooke Hunter (formerly Peyton) & Joey Hunter (formerly Eli). Joey is for Old Testament Joseph. He was known for his coat of many colors & ability to interpret dreams. Joey is known for being adorable. Here’s to hoping these names stick.

Did I mention Peyton and Eli are small? Peyton can also fit in this basket, but Eli beat him to it.

@midgeandsusie.bsky.social @tacothecat.bsky.social @emmettdoog.bsky.social While not a perfect sploot, I’m proud of Peyton’s initial effort.

Eli is giving Peyton a bath.

@emmettdoog.bsky.social @midgeandsusie.bsky.social @tacothecat.bsky.social Please check out my latest post. We have new members of the family.

Except for IU winning the college football national championship, this year has sucked. We lost Will & Lucy but now are ready to return to 3 cats.

We’d like to introduce Peyton & Eli. Peyton & Eli are brothers & are 9-10 wks old.

We’ve never had siblings but are excited. #gingercats

@davidbloomberg.bsky.social Hey why can’t you keep your football team in Chicago? With Indiana winning the college football national championship, I can understand why the Bears want to be in a winning football state.

P.S. Excellent video on Boston Rob. Aubry won. He needs to get over it.

6/1/14 - 3/9/26

We are heartbroken by this news. Lucy was only 11. I thought we found the right insulin level. She was playing all week.

But now she’s playing with Will & meeting the rest of the gang. No more insulin shots. Just having fun.

Sweet Sixteen. While we adjust to the new normal, we still celebrate birthdays!

Grace is 16 and now wants a car. While she is beyond spoiled, she’s pushing it now.

We’re hoping for a party later today.

Will passed away this morning after battling cancer for over two years.

I know he is playing with Abby at the bridge & feeling good. No more cancer. I know he loved us & we loved him. It’s tough to say goodbye.

I miss him already so much.

One month today. One month ago Indiana University became national champions in football. As improbable, unlikely, WTF as this is, we are national champions.

The word I’ve used and so many others have used to describe what’s happened is surreal. None of this makes sense.

Go Hoosiers!
February 20, 2026 at 5:36 PM
Happy National Love Your Pet Day to Will, Grace & Lucy! We’re especially grateful for these three as Will’s cancer is worse as is Lucy’s diabetes. It has been a difficult time.

RIP Robert Duvall. While best known for the Godfather and Apocalypse Now, I loved him for Network and The Apostle.
