Blueberry/gardening newbie… what am I doing wrong?

Hi! I scrolled back a ways in this sub and don’t see any images of leaves that look quite like this. What is happening to my plants?

This is my first year with blueberry plants. I have three plants of different varieties, all planted in pots with “acid loving plants and berries” soil. Got a good amount of berries off them for being such small plants (can’t take credit, the berries were there when I bought the plants lol) and now the leaves have started doing… this. All three of my plants are experiencing this to some degree.

Zone 5b. It’s been quite hot here (many days of 25+ C/75+ F) and we’ve had a LOT of rain over the past 6 weeks or so. July was the wettest month ever recorded for my city. Waiting on a soil test kit to arrive but I’m stressing that my plants are going to die after only one season!

Cat encountered this guy/gal… is it supposed to look like this?

Hi! My cat grabbed at this wasp (hornet?) and got it into his mouth for a second or two. Kitty seems ok and didn’t cry out like he’d been stung but I’m paranoid about anaphylaxis. I know wasps don’t lose their stingers when they sting but I don’t see one? At least not anything that looks like the pictures that come up when I google “wasp stinger” lol

Is it supposed to look like this? Can anyone ID the type of wasp?

Thanks for helping a stressed out cat mom.
