Cat Carriers

My brother and I moved up to Illinois in March 2015, away from everything we knew in Mississippi.

We were in a moving van cab with two cat carriers between us. The carriers were pointed with the door facing straight up and inside were two cats, who could each smell the other but could only see the ceiling. They were sedated so they could theoretically sleep through the trip, but in actuality the newly boneless babbies just took turns, one meowing while the other slept for a few hours at a time and then they’d switch.

You and me chicken
Hey put some tunes on

We got to the Mississippi state line rest stop and let them stretch their legs. They didn’t get sedated afterwards and they made the trip much better.

The trip took a full 24 hours of driving counting a short sleep break in the middle, and the two girls were happy to be in our new home very soon.

Nyahhh
Wehhh

Void Cat

My baby Soot passed today. Cats always take a bit of you when they go, but they always leave a bit of themselves. Like a little barf. When I first got her (thirteen years ago August 26th, fitting for a black cat) she was a little soot sprite with boogers in her eyes. She grew into a beautiful void cat with stars in them.
