That's it for October and Horrordailies! We're ending the series on an image with a lot of saturation and it's not particularly spooky, but yesterday we had a pentagram, so take the average and it works out.
Once again, I like it.
Foster Kitten Updates
Bailey Potato had a vaccine appointment/recheck today and she is 1.48 pounds. This girl is planning to stay with me as long as possible before reaching that surgery weight goal. She is currently sleeping in my lap.
The snack pack kittens had their first containment breach this morning. Due to the size of my bedroom and the need to have a large dog crate to hold their feral mom, the playpen around the crate is squished between the foot of my bed and the wall. One of my blankets had partially fallen into the playpen, so three of the snacks climbed onto the bed to freedom. Frito wandered into the hall; Taki and Pringles stayed on the bed. (Cheese Puff and Cool Ranch were still in the playpen.)
Then, 20 minutes after I returned everyone to the playpen and removed the escape route, I went back into the room and only found four of them asleep on the heating pad. Cool Ranch had climbed to the top of the dog crate and fallen asleep.
The other mom & kittens group is hanging in there. I'm tube-feeding three of the kittens and we're on an every 3-4 hour schedule (including overnight). Yes, I will be happy when they either wean or go back to nursing.
One of those babies is chompy. She (or possibly he, because I keep forgetting to look) lunges forward when I least expect it and clamps down hard on whatever body part she's chosen. There has been a lot of swearing and laughter in that room recently.
Okay, speaking of the babies, I need to go tube feed. I hope you've enjoyed Horrordailies and I'll see you soon!

Happy Halloween and scritches and love to the kitties! They are clever beasts and I am not surprised about the escape. We put Leo in one of those plastic/fabric cat carriers once to transport him with us when we moved. Nice soft carrier for a very long, 11 hour ride. He clawed right through the seams in approximately 15 minutes and hid under the seat most of the way. I did a lot of praying on that trip. I'm not sure I've stopped feeling the anxiety ever since!
