Switched the girls and Titan to first cut, because they’re absolute hoovers and will devour anything hay-shaped.

Floppy, however, is aghast that I’ve presented him witj a pile of first-cut STICKS… so he’s eating alfalfa until his softer hay shows up tomorrow. 😅

You can practically hear him muttering. “Sticks.. try feed lop -sticks-..hmf.”

Note: The nice soft hay under the alfalfa? Unacceptable. Why? Because he sat on it and now it’s flat. No p**p or p*e anywhere near it, mind.. it’s just flat.

I walked around the corner looking for Floppy, and found him like this. In the dollop. In a ball. Like a cat.

I silenscreamed so hard I almost died, then took 3,227 photos. He is.. SO CUTE.

Mystery: “Makin’ my way downtown
Hoppin’ fast,
Going to Rhinoceros Ivy..
Doodley doodley doo.. doo doodle
Doodley doodley doo..”

Rhinoceros: verb. To shove one’s entire forehead directly, and with some force, into the side of another creature.

Trying a larger area of the bathroom, tonight.

Bonding these two has been 95% like watching paint dry and 5% oh god fur tornado.

May the odds be ever in our favor.

I love doing puzzles but have not attempted one in my own home in years, largely because of cats. I bought this Very Small Puzzle the other day, to see if Emet could handle it.

While he surprisingly didn’t slap the pieces around, he did get all tilty-snake, and slap my hand almost every time I fit a piece in. 😅

As he is a polite slapper (all paw, no claw), we have landed on a solid ‘maybe’ for puzzles.

Went to a really fun candle making workshop at the HRN shelter on Sunday! I managed to successfully make a candle, and did not adopt additional rabbits. 😅

That said, this is Ivy’s brother, Comet. He wants to go live at your house. So does their sister, Holly.

Who wants to have sibling buns with me?!

Getting Ivy to focus on Mystery and not on jumping out of the tub is proving to be a challenge. I keep having to come up with new ways to redirect her without too much human to bun interference.

Either way, I feel like a kid smashing dolls together and going, “YOU two go in the box. NOW KISS.”

I mean obviously they are not dolls. But having to like.. insert myself into a nonviolent bonding date makes me feel like that kid.

(But JFC Ivy, stay in the tub.)

Fun fact: MoS and I have a hobby collection of carnivorous plants! They’re actually more pet-safe than most houseplants and are generally non-toxic. Eating a ton might give your pet an upset stomach but that’s true of most houseplants that don’t double as food.

Anywho, we trimmed the old dried pitchers of our Nepenthes yesterday and I thought Emet might enjoy slapping one around.

He did not disappoint. 😂

P.S. No, we don’t have to keep a supply of bugs on hand— Aside from what they catch on their own, like the occasional tiny gnat or mosquito, our plants are vegetarian— they do phenomenally well on a liquid seaweed diet!

To those of you waiting for answers on Titan’s ultrasound, I wanted to let you know that we have had to put it on hold for a little while.

Unfortunately, our senior cat has been struggling to recover from a dental she had back in December, with several extractions. We knew the extractions would be happening as shes had dental disease for a while. She’s had extractions before and did fine. This time, it looked like she was healing well, but as soon as the stitches dissolved, the gum tissue opened up again.

She’s had two additional surgeries, and while the last one succeeded in closing part of the area, a large portion still opened back up. There is no sign of infection and the gingival tissue looks healthy. Our vets, who have been beyond amazing, are stumped. They’ve referred us to a veterinary dental specialist, who she will see for a same day eval and treatment next week.

To her credit, this whole time, she’s been her happy, snuggly self, is eating like an absolute champ, and has very kindly chosen not rip my face off my skull when I rinse her mouth out with antiseptic every night.

Needless to say, we need to get her sorted out before we tackle Titan Man’s curious but non-emergency medical mystery!

Please feel free to send those good healing vibes to our Pix!

HOW IS THIS TINY PRINCE AMONG BUNS A PERMANENT RESIDENT IN MY HOME. I am beyond smitten. Also he loves me best (and thank god because I’d have been wildly and inappropriately jealous if he liked my husband more than me). 😂

Oh my god Donut.She shrimp-snuggled Ivy so hard that Ivy was like “Wow. This is… a lot, but ok.” 😅
