Bite 'em

It's Henry's Former Feral Friday.

Henry's appetite is excellent.

Solid poops too!

Watching birds and squirrels is a favorite pastime.

He's playing with his toys; see below image of his destroyed less-than-a-week-old catnip toy.

Med delivery hasn't been too difficult, even if I want to cry every time for being such a meanie, but he accepts smoochies on his wee little forehead afterward.

July 2, 1947, is the reported date of the undocumented crash of something near Roswell, New Mexico.

I believe...that cats are from outer space, so enjoy a few giggles collected from social media:

Okay, so little green beings really don't have anything to do with Unidentified Flying Objects, or UAPs: unidentified anomalous phenomena, but the goofballs, cartoonists, and meme creators out there like to joke around about it all, and I for one surely thank them for amusing me!

New to me ginger kitty!

Haven't seen this grey kitty before either.

Fowler's Toad

Have been out in the neighborhood early in the day, and then later in the evening, and I see new critters often.
