Here's my cat contribution:


This is the little family we are fostering until placement at the rescue opens up. The kittens are all boys and are 5 weeks old in this pic. They will be 6 weeks old this coming Monday. They are so much fun at this age! The two darker ones are long haired and the other two have short hair. We have towels and blankets down all over the room for them so they can be cozy, but the mom seems to prefer feeding them on the hard ground. The kittens have claimed a big bean bag for nap time, though.

Today's Disney cats are Si and Am, the Siamese cats from Lady & the Tramp:


They are owned by Aunt Sarah, and are a problematic pair - both as troublemakers in the movie and for the negative stereotype they portray (which has since been acknowledged. - The original animated movie on Disney+ now carries a disclaimer, and the live-action version changed the cats entirely.) ~

If you like tech-y stuff, though, it's kind of interesting to see Peggy Lee provide both singing voices at once:

On Friday, Jacob and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. My parents came to visit in part so they could babysit Charles while we went out! The headed home Wednesday morning. I didn't get much exercise in while they were visiting. But I have 165 minutes since my last update.

+60. I've accepted that being sick for the first 10 days of the month means I won't meet my goal. But I'll get to 80%, which isn't bad.

Raya 480/600 - 80%

 

[PollyannaMom]

20 minutes since my last post, for 590/600.

ktink at purple, and
piglet969, Raya, Elizabeth Smith, and the team all at pink!



Today's Disney kitty is Dinah, from Alice in Wonderland:


From The Disney Wiki ~ Dinah is Alice’s little pet kitten. She has appeared in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Alice talks to Dinah, and mentions her frequently to Wonderland residents. When Alice describes Dinah's hunting skills to the animals in the Caucus Race, they become very uncomfortable.

Catster has a whole article on Dinah: here

(They also have a "cat of the week" if you want more cats!)



And according to IMDb, Clarence Nash (yes, "Donald Duck" himself!) was credited as Dinah's voice:

I've had to accept I won't meet mine as well. I hurt my thumb & it made my workouts brutal!

Ya'll the funny thing is how I hurt my thumb. It's taken me 2 weeks to recover. We were driving 4+ hours home from a camping trip. I read a book on my phone & injured my thumb from scrolling. That's what old age does to ya!
