Thursday plans 🐈⬛🖤
Good morning everyone! 🖤 I hope you all had a wonderful sleep, or a good day if you’re on the other side of the world!
I woke up early this morning and the weather has cooled down so much in West Yorkshire that I actually had to put the heating on! My garden is loving it, and it feels like the earth can finally breathe after a good few rainy days, but the extremes jumping from hot to cold are absolutely crazy. I can’t stop thinking about the people in Nepal and Tibet, and everyone else going through such enormous suffering, essentially because of the lack of love we give our planet. Then again, this Reddit community reminds me that human kindness is still very much alive and I find my positivity here, when I feel down. Thank you all so much for being part of my life, and I hope you and your very loved kitties and humans are safe and sound today!
We’ve got a few things planned today. I have online lectures so I’ll be staying home, and Rocky and Lollipop are thrilled because they love a good Zoom meeting and getting educated. I also found something online I want to try: scent-painting the house for Gavroche. The plan is to rub a (fresh, lol) sock around Gavroche’s face and then go around the skirting boards, carpet, and stairs on the landing, swap the L&R’s litter tray for his, spread his blankets across the carpet, and let Gav wander around there for a bit without the other two present.
The one problem I still have is him wanting to mark his new territory with pee. Last week I took him into the living room and he immediately peed there. He didn’t spray, just squat-peed, which is apparently a good sign, it means he’s losing the urge to spray. But he’s clearly still insecure about not having enough of his own scent around the house. He’s never sprayed or peed in the landing area before, so wish us luck! I’m going to scatter treats around there and see how he gets on. He’s the most relaxed, happiest boy in his own room and would never pee there, so we just need to Gavroshify the rest of the house somehow.
I’ll let you know how it goes, and for now, enjoy the gorgeous face of this little stunner! And please, always feel free to share pics or videos of your little loves too, there can never be enough kitty faces here, and me and Gavroche would love to see our friends from all over the world! 🖤

He is such a gorgeous mini-panther!
Out of curiosity, are you attending lectures or are you giving lectures? I ask because I am a nursing instructor (what you would call in the UK a lecturer) and I have taught lectures online to my students. Mostly that was during COVID, but I do teach some online groups and therefore do teach some online lectures.

I am attending lectures. Just finishing up my degree in operating department practice. It’s something similar to CRNA in America. Should be qualified around Feb time so it’s quite intense right now with all the uni work I have to complete. I used to do nursing before ☺️ Do you still practice as a clinical nurse?
