Found in a box lot of vintage pencils that included vintage art supplies. Any idea of the manufacturer?

I have purchased more than one pair of Thursday boots secondhand and just had my first pair arrive that were listed as men’s but are obviously women’s (the size 8 men’s boots I own are at the top of the photo.) is there a code in the numbers or something to be able to tell them apart in the future?

After I replied that I wasn’t sure how to help and that everything looked fine on my end, my order was picked up by someone else who started shopping all over again. Could I have helped my original shopper somehow? The help chat was not helpful.

Bought these MIE Docs for cheap from Poshmark and gave them a good cleaning/conditioning. They look much better. I’m looking forward to wearing them this fall!

This particular shirt is obviously from Wildfang and it’s fantastic. Where else can I find similar shirts in 100% cotton (I wear size 1x or xxl.)

Not sure where that foot is supposed to go, tbh. ❤️

I’ve purchased one of these for the kittens, but figured I’d see how they like the OG Favorite Toy first. Coriander was scared but Rue loved it!

The shelter told me Sally’s belly was a trap. Sally disagrees (but it did take her a little while to allow me to pet the belly.)

Mama has been spayed and tested negative for FELV/FIV. (Yay!!) She now has her shots (probably for the first time in her life) and has quickly adjusted to indoor life. I have decided to keep her. Kittens have been to the vet clinic and have their first shots. I’ll take them back for boosters in a couple of weeks.

My sister claimed two of the kittens and the other two are staying with me. It’s much easier to integrate kittens into an adult cat household and they will distract everyone else from Mama’s presence and make it easier for everyone to get along. Mama currently has no interest in leaving the spare bedroom. I’m not going to push her. The kittens, however, are ready to explore, and my two male cats have been waiting patiently to play with them. My two female cats will take a little longer to adjust, but they’ll be fine.

I’ve donated kitten food to the shelter since they’ve been so helpful with this situation. I didn’t intend to adopt any cats this year, but oh well. 🐈‍⬛ My budget will forgive me eventually.

Boog and I have been folding my socks since he was smaller than a sock!

Two of the kittens stole the favorite toy, but I couldn’t get it back because the third fell asleep on me. The fourth (not pictured) later joined his siblings. I sense a kitten conspiracy.

Two female cats who were dropped off/appeared at my house are always together.

The younger one now has kittens and is friendly enough to bring inside with her kittens into a quarantined room (I have other cats plus also hosting a stray mama and kittens in a spare bedroom already.)

I’m working with the shelter to get all the adult cats fixed that I can catch/the shelter will take the kittens into their adoption program.

The older female is not spicy, but also doesn’t trust me (yet.) I suspect they are mother and daughter.

I have an appointment set up for two cats on Thursday for the free spay clinic. My thought was to capture older female first, then transfer young mama and new kittens and have them together in the same room since they are rarely apart. Get older female (and OG stray mama, whose kittens will be almost 7 weeks old) fixed on Thursday.

Is it a bad idea to have older female, young mama and kittens all together? I do not have an inexhaustible supply of spare rooms but they would live in each other’s pockets if they had pockets and I don’t want to cause undue stress on either one. They are currently all living on my porch. Reason for bringing them inside, safety, socialization and I can’t litter train kittens outdoors. Shelter will take the kittens but wants them to be with Mom as long as possible. I don’t mind taking care of everyone temporarily indoors.

Ideally, of course, they all would become indoor cats but introducing adults to adults isn’t easy and I have four indoor cats already.

Adults are welcome to stay in my yard/on my porch as outdoor cats once they’re fixed.

This is my first time dealing with semi-feral/community cats. Photo is young mama and her kittens.
