Time to let me know if you want a holiday card, with this year’s featured Crooked Acre permanent resident! Go here to Postable, enter your name and address, and your card will be on the way soon. I am happy to send cards to other countries, this is NOT limited to U.S. residents. (Side note: if you’re in Canada, please still feel free to submit your address. I’ll hang onto your card and mail it once the strike is over!) If you have any problems, drop me an email and I’ll do my best to fix it. I’ll take names and addresses until December 20th.
If you’d like to send me a card as well (never ever required, but always appreciated – I don’t keep track of who does or doesn’t send a card, I promise!), send it to:
Robyn Anderson

(PS: If that link doesn’t work for you, or you prefer not to enter your info (I delete your name and address once I’ve downloaded it), you can email me instead.)

What a rough life these kittens lead.
Carmy in the tunnel with his yellow spring.
Richie with the Precious Moments eyes.
Carmy was digging through the box in search of a toy, when he got distracted by the ceiling fan.
It’s winter, which means it’s low humidity, which means it was time for the humidifiers to come out of storage. Richie “discovered” this one (there’s one in the foster room that’s the exact same humidifier, and it has somehow escaped his notice) and he was fascinated.
“This is all very interestin’, lady.”
It was time to hang out in the bathtub, and Tina was DETERMINED to figure out how to turn the faucet on, but she had no luck.

Charlie loves to curl up and sleep on this little bed in Fred’s office. I’m surprised he still fits, but look at that – you could nearly fit another cat in that left over space!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday.
Carmy’s all “What? Is comfy!” That keyboard protector is one of the better things I’ve bought. I still have to kind of look around the kittens when they’re hanging out there, but at least they aren’t tromping across my keyboard and making me yell “What button did you press that made THAT happen?!” 100 times a day.
Richie (back) and Carmy look like they’re posing for their JC Penney portrait.

Richie, Carmy and Tina (but ESPECIALLY Richie) just love that dangly mouse toy. I call it the dangly mouse toy, but I got online from Amazon and they have it listed as “Hanging Door Bouncing Mouse Cat Toy.” (And it comes in a 2-pack, so apparently I’ve got a second one around here somewhere.) They have a lot of fun with it, but if you buy one I encourage you to NOT let cats play with it unsupervised; when I’m not around, the toy lives in a drawer.
⚠️🚩It’s a TRAP. I repeat: the belly IS A TRAP⚠️🚩 Don’t be fooled by that sweet face, those sweet bunny paws, that soft and silky fur. You touch the belly, the trap springs closed! 🪤 (Except when it does not. You never know which way it’s gonna go. Err on the side of caution!)

I tried to have a conversation with Tina, but she was like “Kinda sleepy here, lady.”
Good night innernets. (Carmy (left) and Richie)
