Was born in my parents’ back yard. She was the first and only surviving kitten of the litter. On the night she was born, her mom left her under a pile of wood and took off, probably because there were still six more kittens in her tummy. Petunia cried all night, and in the morning I carefully took her from under the woodpile and reunited her with her mother to nurse. I had originally adopted the runt of the litter, but after he tragically passed I decided to take little Petunia home with me.

in September we left brunch and saw a kitten in some bushes and it was right near the train tracks and she was matted and was near just one dusty dried up can of wet food so now she is mine and she is the best, a little bitey but then also just the sweetest cat ever
And she’s only ten months, and I’ve had cats my whole life, our two family cats right now are like 14 and are still just so cute and nice but I am really excited to see her grow from the 6 month old kitten she was when we found her to hopefully a beautiful elderly cat over the next 15-20 years.

I have (and have had) many pets since I was a wee girl- newts, bunnies, terriers, gerbils, frogs, iguanas, fish, hedgehogs, and I’ve loved each of them with all I’ve got. But over the last few years, I’ve found my truest passion is raising kittens (don’t tell my dogs, who seem 100% sure the cats are just disruptive indignities I must suffer to get back to them.) Kittens are nature’s anti-depressant, the best reality show you’re not watching and a totally inspiring example of the mindfuck that is evolution. I mean, these little creeps have been designed by a Higher Power to look adorably lost, impossibly needy… and then BAM they’re opening all your doors and eating all your salad and looking down at you from the bookshelf like you’re the help in a Downton Abbey sequel. Plus, on a soppy note, a teensy rescue kitten is the example of tenacity we all need- they don’t give up as they go from fetal bird confusion to diabolical emperor. Any opportunity to foster, raise and/or unleash kittens on their next willing fin-dom arrangement is one of my higher callings. At the moment, two young ‘ens are staring at me from a cactus shaped condo in the corner of our bedroom. Another eight year old adoptee/Garfield doppelganger is on a reduced calorie diet upstairs so that he can maintain his heart health and travel in something smaller than the laundry hamper. Look at us! We’re a chic literary salon but I’m the only one who can read (I think. I have one cat who can probably read, she just does it at night when I’m not looking.)

It’s chaotic, absurd, hilarious, revolting (seriously not for the weak of stomach), and has a lot of heart. He used to post these one strip at a time during the pande replay, and it was one of the things that I looked forward to the most during that time.
