elisi | Lockdown Update Day 307

First of all - cat! Because he was on the armchair the other evening, nodding off, and I took pictures. (I have SO MANY PICTURES of him. Because he is so cute.) However I felt these would amuse.

3...2...1...zzzzz

Cat1

And from cute cat to Attempted Coup!

I don't know how many of you realize this, but QAnon Shaman and his band of weirdos were 100% a distraction from the trained militia terrorists, who were not in costume. Please stop letting this furry neo-Nazi make you take what's happening less seriously. https://t.co/G9FF2qo2kS pic.twitter.com/JXlkBP9rEr

And a worrying post here (well, it basically confirms what we already know):

NY Times: They Used to Post Selfies. Now They’re Trying to Reverse the Election.
Right-wing influencers embraced extremist views, and Facebook rewarded them.

NEW: The FBI is investigating a claim that a PA woman who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6 stole a laptop from Speaker Pelosi's office and intended to sell it to the Russians.

The FBI says she appears to have fled. More about this bizarre case: https://t.co/mJwjcShEDi

How like-minded we are!:)

Nothing brings people together like a love of cats. <3

I wish I could hug one right now.*sighs*

Everyone should have access to cats.

I have access to YouTube. Not exactly the same thing though.*shrugs*

Very true. :(

Oh well.*looks at cat, watching a cat video*

And they can't bite you or put muddy foot prints all over everything from inside a video.

Well, there is that.*shrugs*

The things you don't miss as a former pet owner.:)

At least you have a realistic view. :)

I try.:)

On Youtube they have: If cats were human. Which is obviously for light-hearted entertainment/humor. I can only speculate what my cat's were thinking. Let alone about me.*shrugs*

Mostly 'Is this soft & warm for sleeping on?' and 'When is there more food?'

;)

The best one I've seen so far online is the "freaking out over someone sneezing by swearing" in a British accent. :D

As for my cats, part of what you said was true. Followed by the stare if I don't pay attention straight away. Accompanied by repetitive meows.

Well that is new!

Yup. Attention whores UNTIL they decide otherwise.

Anyone can be a "cat expert". :D

Either that, or they're being sneaky.;)

Well I am certainly a cat expert! ;)

Being a Cat behaviorist, was a missed opportunity to me.*shrugs*

Well it doesn't pay! ;)

Have you've seen the TV program: Cat's From Hell?

Just love the title.*sarcasm*

I haven't, but it sounds... entertaining!

A cat whisperer helping people with their cats psychological problems. If they had something called: Cat's From Heaven, it'll be something like me in a cat café.:)

Ahhh yes. I think it generally boils down to: play with your cat.

ONE DAY we shall be in cafés again....

Some cats usually leave if they don't like their owner.

I was in a food court on my own today, having a coffee. Social distancing still require. While facemasks are mandatory on public transport only.*stops sounding like a statement*

Good point. Cats don't mess around!

I look forward to just being able to do things - in general, but also without all the disclaimers. ('We went to the park - it's OK, we're allowed!')

And sometimes they are just being curious and will find their way back. Just like mine did.

The rules vary from shop to shop. Some still have signs to have a facemask on. It's a weird feeling having to put it on or pull it down at certain places. Sometimes I feel like I'm going into surgery.*looks at your userpic*
