thanks for posting. you are most active in this group!
Just hanging with my dysfunctional cats:

Two new female rescues I picked up at a shelter at the beginning of this pandemic curve, turned out they were sisters who hated each other.
And proceeded to hate my two boy cats.

Big Boy cat hates all cats; he did love my 18 year old cat who died in April and my dog who died a year ago. .

Its lots of work keeping these cats separate. Thank God I have multiple rooms with doors.

So just have one sweet kitty who doesn't understand all the drama. He hangs with me from the kitchen to the work area, to sleep at night, all day, everyday, get up, repeat.
Sweet cat was a street stray who for reasons unknown was so grateful for life and all the new little things: balls, food, playing laser, sleeping in safety. (He had all the reasons to be afraid and skittish and hateful but instead is a happy little guy)

He makes it all worth while, and when I talk to him he meows back. That's all the company I have.

That's my life for now. Thanks for asking.
