Qats

So, we've owned this house about thirty years or so. In that time, I've accumulated two dead Cats, who are buried out back in their little Cat Cemetery, where I can see them from my window. They each have a tombstone. It dawned on me today how appropriate it is that the stone for Flaster, absolutely the best-behaved Cat who ever was, is perfectly flat and square, exactly as it was installed, whereas the stone for rambunctious old Cleo, aka 'The Cat from Hell', is heaved up on one end and has somehow rotated about thirty degrees. This is just so much in character for each Cat.

Prolly gonna leave 'em just as they are.

Purina released a new line of Qat Füd. Alexandra likes it well enough. They also released a cookbook to go the new varieties. My expectation was that it was recipes made using Qat Füd, but I was wrong. It's recipes along the same general lines of the Qat Füd, so you can have dinner dates with the Cat.

Nice story. That’s fitting.

I like the cookbook. It’s nice when these companies let their marketing folks try new ideas.

Oh, and Meow Mix currently has a recall (salmonella or something). More surprising than this is that the brand is owned by J.M. Smacker!
...who apparently also own Milk Bone. What a world.

Oy vey! Thanks for warning me. I'd always thought that Meow Mix was a Purina product.

Congratulations!  You are the only person to have ever used this phrase.

I got a notice from the pharmacy today, apologizing for not having said anything for 10 days after I signed up, telling me that they have run out of vaccine but will contact me as soon as they can.

There are other similar reports from Canada.  Australia is worse but says they're better.

Heh. Go me.

they have run out of vaccine

That's appalling. I'm by no means sure that I'd trust government or (especially) NGO assessments of how well any region is doing. Indiana consistently ranks toward the middle of the pack in federal statistics for vaccinations, infections, etc., but the situation on the ground just doesn't reflect that. The vaccination clinics are busy, but working properly; hospitals have plenty of slack left, both in ICUs and ventilators; and ultimately, apart from people still wearing masks, there's just no evidence that the situation is remotely close to what the Federal govt. is telling us.

Anyway, good luck on getting vaccinated. Were it my call, I'd be pooling resources with the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but Biden seems far more interested is sending resources to Mexico and such places.

:D wild tombstone story!

... and "cat food recipe books" ? LOL!

Yeah, kinda broke my brain as well. It seems a sound theory, though. Recipes so that you can eat thematically with your cat.
