Locally Made Cat Trees?
Hello,
I'm hoping to find someone LOCAL that builds cat trees. Wood, sisal, carpet. If you make them, or know someone who does, please reach out. I'm tired of paying premium prices for low quality.
Thank you!
Please do not send me links to fleece covered plastic made in China.
Speeding Fine
I got an automated fine notice. I was wondering if it’s worthwhile to fight it. I am 99% sure I was not speeding. I was heading into a parking lot with a carrier full of kittens to drop off with a foster. I don’t speed when I have littles in the car.
I have no problem doing community service instead but I’m curious how court goes for others.
25 year beginner, ADHD, bad at counting. Please show me your stitch markers in use.
I would watch my SIL crochet and noticed how it was meditative for her. I asked her about the afghans she was making because they looked simple.
She gave me the book (still have it). I bought the yarn made my first one. Dropped a lot of stitches. Next one dropped stitches, added stitches, tension issues, etc
I finally made two that were nice enough to gift. 25 years later, I still drop and add (only figured out tension recently. Can I get some examples of stitch markers in use?
I’ve tried them, gotten frustrated and still have the same issues. I usually do everything corner to corner to avoid this issue but I’m tired of it and want to work on more interesting things.
Thanks so much.

Tattoo Artists
Hi! I'm going to be in Oly next month visiting my brother. We are hoping to get our sibling tattoos while I'm there. We need someone that can do fine line text and won't charge $200 for a 8 letter word, about 2.5" long. Thanks!
EDIT: We do not need design work. We have what we want, just need someone to do it. Please stop offering designs, then begging for money when I say no.
Kitten Nuggets
The shelter got 12 one week old kittens at 3:30. One of the fosters couldn’t pickup. I got to transport these babies across town.
AWD Shelters Need Volunteers & Fosters
Good Evening!

Volunteer: Neonatal, surgery recovery, kittens, puppies, dogs, cats, exotics, doggie day out, adoption counsellors, shy, behavior modification, food pantry, donation sorting.
If you have the time, they have a need. Please consider assisting (and a large percentage of the volunteers are neurodivergent).
25 Cats from Qatar
12:30, this Saturday. I have my ticket. Let me know if anyone else is going.
2+1?
I have two male cats, one is jealous, the other is laid back both are afraid of almost everything.
There is a male cat at the shelter, who has been there for weeks. He’s shy but coming out of his shell. Today he seemed very sad. He is a sweet boy and needs love.
I’ve always said, if I get a third cat I want a female but I keep finding boys. I think I want to bring him home but I’m not sure how another cat would do.
Any wisdom?

Kittens
Just sharing the nine kitten pileup at the shelter yesterday.
I was trying to work…
And these two were just snoozing away across the room.
I fell in love with this old man about two weeks ago. He’s 16, has GI problems, FIV, and who knows what else. Owner surrender.
And still remains a sweet, lovable little man. Climbs right into your lap, likes to be carried around. He’s now with a senior rescue to live out the rest of his life being loved.
Why am I posting this? To remind people that senior cats are worthy of a loving home. Consider adopting one. They might not have much time left but they are worth the time you have to give.
