Awww, Mr. Theodore Scritches McWiggles! You are a big kitty!
Peeps – someone drunkenly tried to kick my front door in last night. Didn’t succeed, thank goodness, but got it good and jammed up. Can’t open it. Now I’m searching for a handyman on a Monday morning. Wish me luck.
Good luck! I don’t suppose you or a neighbor (next door or across the street) has some kind of camera doorbell? Even if you can’t ID the kicker it might give some insight whether it was petty vandalism, a drunky who got confused what address they were at, or something more sinister. Whichever, glad you’re ok and have properly installed doors.
I’m so sorry. We’re sending all our best wishes and the cats enclose healing purrs.
So sorry to hear Tara. That must have been scary. I’m not sure where you live but there’s been some trend (probably from Tik Tok) called the Door Kick Challenge. Wonder if they did it because of this stupidity. Makes me glad I have a steel security door in front of my regular front door. Good luck with getting the door fixed.
what is wrong with people?
I don’t know what’s wrong with people, but after some creepy incidents in my apartment building, I have now stopped poking fun at those who have doorbell cameras. Police around here are starting to act like every report is an inconvenience and not within their purview.
The much bigger disappointment is finding out that door locks have become so ridiculously flimsy that you could have broken into my apartment with two strikes of a hammer to the lock. A professional-grade lock sets you back at least $400 now, and you need to go to a specialty store to get one.
It happened to us last year, we live in a very quiet residential neighborhood but that doesn’t seem to matter anymore. We told all the neighbours and now everyone has cameras.
I hope you get a good handyman. It must have been a scary experience, I’m glad whoever did it, didn’t get in.
Hi All, Thanks for your kind wishes. I think I’m in denial that it happened. Yes, I have cameras, thank goodness. He shows up on them around 10:45pm, completely passed out on my front porch. He’s out until around 1:30, though he’s moved around, then he leaves, and comes back, then at 2:30 – 40, he starts trying to kick the door in, hard. That’s when I woke up. It’s clear he is completely intoxicated on something. I called the police and they came very quickly. Detained him, then I went down (I sleep on the second floor), and when I tried to open the door to talk to the officers, that’s when it became clear the door was jammed. It’s a good, old, solid double door. I hope it can just be fixed and doesn’t have to be replaced.
It was clear it wasn’t malicious, but still scary. The good thing is I have two front doors. He wouldn’t have gotten far. The very front is the vestibule, and then there is a security door with dead bolt after that. But still. Now we have to come and go out the back door and across the yard, which might as well be a glacier it’s so slippery.
I have some leads for people, but not until Wednesday. I don’t know about 2026 y’all.
I would totally cuddle a newborn calf. And Phil. And Theodore Scritches McWiggles–I simply refuse to believe he’s real. Maybe his human carrier is very small, like me?
Mr McWiggles has gone from the category “Big Boi” to “Aw Lawd, He Coming!”, lol. He’s so handsome no matter, I’d love to cuddle up with him. He must be either Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat. Other stories will have to wait until later, off to my mammogram 😕. Not much fun but necessary.
there is no way he is fitting into a cat carrier.
Bet he’s really sweet and loves to cuddle
Oh my goodness, went to X and he is a Maine Coon! According to them he’s 15 kg/33 lb! 😱😱 and 130 cm/4 ft long!!!! There are not enough explanation marks to express my astonishment on his size. He’s probably the size of my youngest niece. 😂😂
Hugging him must feel like hugging a puma. Such a gorgeous kitty.
Dammit, Phil, you had one job.
That is one big kitty.
OMG, I’m finally watching all the videos of Hippo the hairless kitten from last week; her mom is so pretty!
I got a nice surprise this morning, the Princess is back! I have no idea where she’s been but she was starving! She hate 3 bowls of wet food!
I am glad the Princess is back where she can be cared for. She is lucky to have you looking out for her, Georgiana!
That’s fantastic! She’s lucky to have you for a friend.
Good job Princess, but please don’t scare Georgiana again!
Such good news!!! She knows where things are good. If only you could catch her and convince her being inside is where it’s best.
Yeah!!!! I love hearing good news. I hope Princess sticks around this time. Only thing I’m hoping is she didn’t have too good a time and shows up with babies shortly.
wow, I bet she has some stories to tell
Apparently western Canada’s groundhog foretold an early spring, namely because it was raining to hard for it to see anything, never mind a shadow. Eastern Canada’s groundhog refused to come out in the blizzard, so the spring forecast was by default: if he HAD come out, he would not have seen his shadow, early spring there, too.
God bless Kiki, such a sweet thing and so happy she can manuever around on her own terms. I love people that come up with unique solutions for animals that might have been put down just because of “quality of life” or lack thereof, according to some “experts”. If there in no pain, they’re eating/drinking, and seem happy, then who’s to say what’s their best “quality of life”. Sally the calf may have had a rought start but she had the right people looking out for her. Love the photos with the kids cuddling up to her.
