A majestic kitty surveying its territory.

One thing I learned from an art teacher a long time ago was to step back from your work on occasion and look at it from a distance. When we spend a lot of time close to the screen/paper/etc, we can sometimes lose our sense of scale and alignment. I use this method still to make sure that I'm on the right track with my pieces. If corrections need to be made, it helps catch them early.

It also helps with recognizing that minor mistakes are maybe not so bad. An errant brush stroke noticable at 30 cm away is usually not very noticeable at a distance.

Hopefully this helps!

He's sharing his brain cell with an orange cat. He's such a philanthropist!

Whatever happens, her life has been better with your love and care for her. She knows what being loved is like, and that alone makes your efforts worthwhile.

Thanks for being awesome person ❤️

Such a majestic floof!

She knows how cute she is, but thinks OP could be serving her in better ways.

Stella also enjoys supervising. Oscar looks like a diligent supurrvisor.

You might find Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s story "2BR02B" ("to be or not to be") an interesting read. It's not exactly like your theory, but it's not too far off.

That's what people said about the mountain pine beetle, until the winters weren't cold enough anymore and thousands of hectares of forest died, which then became forest fires. Now it's not a matter of if, but how many forest fires BC will have.

Being proactive now will reduce the problem later.

The poor penguins don't deserve that.

I had the misfortune of having to deal with Sun Life a few years ago- they are one of the worst companies to deal with. Their claim forms conveniently had no mailing address, so I had to call and ask for it. Their online claims were no better - cumbersome and confusing. I was convinced that they purposely hired illiterate people to process claims as the rejection reasons often were for missing information...that was right on the receipt. Only after resubmitting the receipt with the item circled for them did I get my reimbursement.

My sympathy goes to those forced to deal with this company.

 

She's my roommate's cat and my new feline roommate. She's 4 and is super sweet, loves scriches, and racing people up the stairs. Please forgive the clutter in the images - we moved 2 weeks ago (Stella loves the ever-changing box collection).

 

(Not my cat)

Met this cat in my strata complex today chilling on some steps. It was largely indifferent, until my camera was ready and some screaming children were running its way. Even then it didn't run away! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make this cat's acquaintance again.

I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.

I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!

 

Saw this guy chilling on my deck railing, and as soon as the camera came out, he struck this pose.

 

Not a social media post, so hopefully this is permitted. Canada is also home to sovcits, and this person is outright insane.

I also find it ironic that a sovcit wants a monarchy.

 

This floofy boi befriended me while on a walk around my strata. He's friendly and wants all the pets and scratches.

 

My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.

 

I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.
