TNR All Bosses

October 16 is National Feral Cat Day!

If you feed them, fix them.

Suggestion: take a TNR class at your local rescue or veterinarian's office.

"Trapping" is a scary word, yet the second you secure a cat in a humane trap, you'll want to do it again!

We cannot adopt our way out of this crisis.

October 16 is also National Bosses Day.

Being retired means that I no longer have a boss who signs my paycheck, however I have three male cats and The Hubby, so they try to boss me around plenty!

Under Siege

October 15 is Medieval Siege Engine Day!

No harm in an onager or catapult between friends from time to time, amIright?

All of the cool kids have medieval siege engines, like Colehaus Cats:

I, for one, am thankful for goofy holidays, because...why not?

Recently listened to audiobooks that I highly recommend:

Villians Series, by V. E. Schwab

Narrated by Jeremy Arthur

Book #1: Vicious

Book #2: Vengeful

Book #3: Victorious

My two cents: A modern-day tale of college friends who help each other obtain superpowers, called EO's or ExtraOrdinaries, yet end up opposing each other when left to their own devices. Just whom is on the wrong side?

Scream With Me: Horror Films and the Rise of American Feminism, by Eleanor Johnson

Narrated by Andi Arndt and the author

My two cents: Non-fiction history of women's roles in horror films from 1968 to 1980 at the start of the women's liberation movement, and how Hollywood's misogynistic directors began to shift in step with the more open-minded social and political views and laws.  Some of the real horror happened off camera.

Films explored:

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

The Exorcist (1973)

The Stepford Wives (1975)

The Omen (1976)

Alien (1978)

The Shining (1980)

Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know by Malcolm Gladwell

 Narrated by the author

My two cents: Non-fiction audiobook on why our interactions with people we don't know can go wrong.
