Here are two more pictures of Shadow (renamed from Blackashell, which just doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily). It’s Shadow not only due to his color, but also because he’s very attached to me and follows me around like a…you guessed it…shadow!
Judging by the size of his feet, he’s going to grow into a big boy!
Can you resist that face?
No, not my state of mind!
Blackashell is the name of my new kitten!
He is an adorable almost 7 week old black kitten, and I think he is going to have long hair. His fur is very fluffy, and though shy with other people, he took to me immediately. My other three cats seem to not mind him either.
I didn’t really want a 4th kitten (usually it’s a firm “no!” whenever anyone asks if I want a new kitten), but my son in law was telling me about him and something told me this kitten was special so I asked if I could see him.
He was named by my son in law’s nephew (my grand nephew?) who is just three. I thought the name was hilarious and seemed to fit him so well I decided to keep the name.
And when I saw Blackashell, I decided to keep him as well.
He’s sleeping at my feet as I write this.
I’m just so exhausted, worn down, frustrated, and livid over Net Neutrality being on the chopping block now, and Trump saying he believes a pedophile and sexual abuser (Roy Moore) over the 9 women who have come forward. He thinks a Christofascist pedophile and sexual abuser is better than a “liberal Democrat” (Doug Jones), who seems like a good man. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. It’s all pretty overwhelming what they are doing. I can’t even keep up with the terrible things they do every day. It will take an entire generation, if not an entire lifetime, to recover.
It seems that all Trump and the GOP do is destroy everything and replace it with shit. Sociopaths and bullies seem to be running everything right now and seem to love upsetting and pissing off “liberal snowflakes.” They even admit they love doing this. Trump’s base really is deplorable, from what I have seen online.
A new kitten isn’t a cure, and it certainly won’t solve all these huge problems, but it will lift my spirits. I know of a three month old male tabby who needs a home and I’ve been thinking about getting a new cat for a while now. I am going to name him either Bill or Steve. Steve is funny (I love people names for cats), but my dad’s name was Bill (he passed away over a year ago) and it would be a cool way to honor his memory. I also used to read a comic strip with a character called Bill the Cat, so I think I’m going with Bill.
