Melbcat is sleeping warm under the doona. I hope she lets me in!
Iโve seen electric blankets that are washable and am wondering if itโs worth buying one of those.

Donโt get too pfucked up.

Edit: OK I'm a lot more chill now. Yeah she threw away their food, because of her "spiritual beliefs". Where I feed them is not on her property.
I just think it's a vile thing to do.
I'm not stopping, and I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm ready for a confrontation.
The idea that someone's beliefs are more important than innocent creatures lives is repugnant to me.
Thereโs always some nutbag who canโt mind their own business and has to touch things that arenโt theirsโฆ
Canโt believe I didnโt remember this before. I think Klever Cages might have gone under now but they had enclosures you could snap together out of pipes and there was the option to add a waterproof partial cover.

A few of the specialised parts (door hinge etc) could be tricky to find but for a simple open rectangular shelter it can be done with pipes and connectors from Bunnings plus a tarp. There are free plans online. You could even make the waterproofing full length and in an inconspicuous colour.
Perhaps that would hide the food bowl from her and offer the cats protection from the rain.

Had a pretty good day. Nice end to the week. Had some time to chat with the CEO which was good. He's really chill.
Guitar and rest tonight I think. I haven't been able to play most of the last 2 weeks because of my shoulder which has been pretty rough tbh.
Have rehearsal tomorrow so will do the best I can tonight.
Here is one of the newest additions to the stray family:

This week can fuck right off. Work was super stressful. Time for icecream and beers
Same. I am going for wine and a new hair colour. It's blue time baby
