Minerva is ready for #Monsterdon. She's assumed the preferred viewing position and everything <3

Minerva, a tortoiseshell cat, curled up with her head planted firmly against the blanket she's sleeping on.


Afternoon cuddling and attention session. I popped them into the top tier of their loaner castle and now they're exploring all the levels and toys left in each one.

A tiny tabby kitten and a tiny black kitten pretend to be relaxing in a cardboard condo. As soon as I left, they were romping again.


Kittens have been fed dinner, given their meds for the night, weighed. Both are still putting on weight each time, which is fantastic.

Then we left them to their own devices....

I loaned the kittens one of the supervisor's toys; a motorised butterfly on a wire that just spins around. I thought tabby would like it as she liked pawing at plants. Turns out her brother does.

Went to visit the babies and give them some lunch. My view when I go in there is of them cuddled together in a box.

When I leave, I check our new kittencam and voila, they're up and romping around 😀 playing with toys and eating.

A tiny tabby kitten is curled up with a black kitten in a box, paws around each other, looking up at the camera.

My supervisor has given up on sitting and staring with suspicion towards the bathroom where the kittens are. She knows something's up though.

A white and black cat is curled up on a cardboard couch, with a yellow goldfish toy that has a fluffy red tail, beside her.


Babies have been to the vet. Could have cat flu, given antibiotics, also worming paste. Doc thinks they might be 8 weeks old, just tiny (700g and 940g) due to malnourishment.

They will get meds and lots of attention and hopefully thrive and return in a week much bigger.

They were Very Good Kittens though out it all.

Black is a boy!

A tiny tabby kitten and a tiny black kitten sit at the back of a carry cage, with a blue towel in the foreground. They are both looking sleepy.


Made them a tiny snuggle out of a box and hand towel. They're currently curled up in it, snoozing. 😍

Here they are! Currently curled up in a corner, I've given them some dinner and kitten milk. Shall check on them in a couple hours and see how their appetites are.

A tabby kitten is curled up in a corner between the wall and a vanity, on a blue handtowel. Its all black sibling is curled up behind it in the corner. Both looking at the camera with concern.  They are very small, around 5 weeks old at most.


It's a girl! She had a little snooze in a towel then on me, then wanted to get down. Made her a nest from a box and a hand towel and she's in there right now. It's all been quite a lot for her. She is very sleepy. Little bit of gunk around eyes but looking alert and can track a finger being waved quite fine.

A baby tabby kitten being held in a lap for the first time, it's a bit scary for the baby.


So the black one is a little bigger than the tabby. Tabby appears to have eyes tightly shut, is around the size of a 3-4 week old but may be older and just malnourished. Black one is around the size of a 5 week old.

They're still hiding.

Two tiny kittens looking at me with suspicion


Was out watering the pots and spotted a tiny head amongst them, a little tabby kitten. Then a little black face, two kittens. No sign of mum. Very skittery, probably born to feral mum.

Now to try to catch them. First off have put a box with towel out, and given them some milk as they are probably very low on nutrition.

One thing that's is cute about #cats is their little posh paws when they politely sit all tidy with their neat little cute posh paws in front of them.

"Und wenn Sie Haustiere haben, beispielsweise #Katzen, die möglicherweise auch in Kontakt mit Vögeln sein könnten, und Sie merken, dass sie krank sind, dann lassen Sie das Tier schnell vom Tierarzt überprüfen. Und seien Sie bis dahin ein wenig vorsichtiger beim engen Kontakt mit dem Tier."

Good morning & Happy Caturday everyone.
May the weekend ahead be kind to you.
Hugs all round, & extra hugs for those who need/want them.
Meggie & Laurie send lots of luv & purrs to everyone.

Neither cat has been inclined to strike any pose (except sleeping) this week, so I have been digging in my photos folders to find Meggie playing with a feather, & Laurie taking over Meggie's favourite box.

And, because it's Caturday, here is my new mug which arrived yesterday. I love it!

A black cat is playing on the lawn with a white feather.  She prefers to play on the 'stepping stone path' that leads through the garden.
A young black cat is sitting in a cardboard box that is really too small for him with his tail hanging over the back. It's his 'auntie's favourite' box, so he is determined to fit in there, although he can't lie down comfortably in it.
A mug of tea is on the kitchen worktop.  It has a picture of a vase of sunflowers (in Van Gogh style), with a black cat behind, leaping in the air & about to pounce on the flowers.
Behind is the kitchen windowsill with  two pots containing orchids on it, and two little plaster characters based on vegetables (a  cauliflower & a green pepper) sitting on the edge of the windowsill with legs hanging down over the edge.

CDC detects Bird Flu Mutation in Human, amid new Infections in Cats. [🦠 :ahovercat:]

The ongoing spread of bird flu in the United States has alarmed experts — not just because of human cases causing severe illness, but also due to troubling new instances of infections in cats.

https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/spotlights/h5n1-response-12232024.html

#h5n1 #birdflu #virus #mutation #pets #cats #infections #pandemic #us #cdc #healthcare #engineer #media #science #health #tech #nature #news
Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the mutations were "likely generated by replication of this virus in the patient with advanced disease," emphasizing that no transmission of the mutated strain to other humans had been identified.

Several experts contacted by AFP cautioned that it was too early to determine whether these changes would make the virus more transmissible or more severe in people.

Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, explained that while the mutation might help the virus enter cells more easily, additional evidence [such as animal testing] would be needed to confirm any effect on transmissibility.

Moreover, similar mutations have occurred in previous critically ill patients without leading to broader outbreaks. "It's good to know we should be looking out for this," Rasmussen said, "but it doesn't actually tell us, [Oh, we're this much closer to a pandemic now]."

A sample of the virus found in a critically ill patient in the United States has shown signs of mutating to better suit human airways, although there is no indication it has spread beyond that individual, authorities report.

An analysis posted by the CDC revealed that a small percentage of the virus in the patient's throat carried genetic changes that could increase the virus's ability to bind to certain cell receptors found in the human upper respiratory tract.

Importantly, the agency noted that these changes have not been detected in birds – including in the backyard poultry flock believed to have been the source of the patient's initial infection.

Earlier this month, officials announced that an elderly Louisiana patient was in "critical condition" with a severe H5N1 infection. And now, a updated @CDCgov technical report on the Louisiana case is out. There are low frequency mutations in HA that indicate adaptation in a human host [specifically this human host].


Alice is very happy with the way the bed is made and doesn't think any more needs doing just yet.

We're about to head out the door to adopt a cat. This brings to mind what may be my favorite Onion non-story of all time, published almost thirty years ago.

Looking at some old photos and found this panoramic weirdness.

A cat walking on wall mounted shelves appears three times in the photo because the camera was in  panorama mode panning the same direction the cat was walking.


This one's a real tiger in the bedroom.

[Thanks, I'll be here all week.]

We are storing a new giant tv for Spouse's mom temporarily, and Paz has decided it's for her. Fortunately the box is extremely stable.
#TopazPosting #cats #Caturday
Topaz, a dark gray tabby teenager kitten, has draped herself over the end of a cardboard box that's labeled xumoTV.  It's about 30 inches tall and 46 inches wide. She is lounging, improbably, as the top of the box is only about 5 inches wide. Her ears are perked and she regards the picture taker with insouciance verging on rebelliousness. Behind her is yellow walls, a white door, a laden coat hook, and a small rack of shoes.
