I love Itchi. Wish I could give him a big hug. Hope he finds the perfect companion. Oh, great article Julian. Thanks.

Ichi is a sweet boy. But he has abandonment issues. He and his two sisters, Ni (2) and San (3) were just two weeks old when they were found. So they had to be fed by hand . At that time, I had another rescue cat, Moo (about 5) and two old boys, Mick and Kuma who were 17+ in my office. Moo was very good with kitten but no busy looking after the Ol Boys so didn't have a lot of time for the kittens. The two girls were find--they played with each other. But Ichi was kinda left out. So I took Ichi home where I had Chibi, Jet, and Choo as well as my live-in partner. Choo was very solitary and moved to the office where she was very happy. Jet and Ichi bonded. My partner, Y didn't much like cats. Ichi fixed it and bonded. Then Y suddenly left, saying I was too old, although the age difference hadn't mattered to her 12 years previously! But Ichi felt abandoned. And hid when she came to get her things. Like dogs, some cats are very sensitive to feeling. I really need to find him a good companion.

The right one will come. Bonus- no Y to worry about. Keep us updated on the progress. I adore animals.

It's a little complicated here. Because of my age, I have to prove I can look after a cat properly and have a place to live. It is hard for a person over 75 to rent, for example! So I need a guarantor. In addition, vaccinations, blood tests, etc for cats can come to about $300. Complicated or not, all that can be solved, And Ichi deserves a companion. If he's happy-- I am too.

There was an insurrection, but it is properly spelled "fedsurrection".

Gonzalo Lira termed it "auto-golpe", where the administrative state aka Deep State, siezes the levers of power.

"Fedsurrection" ? Another great word for me to steal and pretend I thought of.

So nicely cheeky of our new Marvel Comic character , Captain Kooko of the Empire.

If his lips are moving you know he’s lying and he’s demented to boot.

Not just that but Putin also puts West's war toys on time-out:

The puppy doesn't look uncomfortable though.

Unlike Pedo Pete / Bidens victims.

"This is a moment to speak the truth and bury the lies".

One of those moments when the mask slips and a politician at least hints at the reality.

If this is "a moment to speak the truth and bury the lies", can we take it that all the other YEARS were moments to speak lies and bury the truth?
