Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

T R E 4 5 O N

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I was promised a recession.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Come on, man.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Rescue Kitten Bleg – Philadelphia Area

ninnie

From commentor Ann Marie:

I’m an occasional commenter, mainly lurker, on Balloon Juice. In the past BJ has occasionally posted pictures of cats or dogs that need new homes. Would it be possible to do the same for a little kitten, called Ninnie? He’s in the Philadelphia area. A friend of mine, Carla, feeds stray cats that come into her backyard. This kitten started showing up a few weeks ago. A picture she sent me is attached. Here’s what she has to say about him:

“Although he is plump and active, he seems VERY small for a kitty who must be at least 8 weeks old (he has been eating solid food for at least four weeks). He is very, very friendly and tame. He isn’t litter-trained but is young enough that he could be easily trained. He doesn’t seem “slow”, just very small.”

If you’re interested in Ninnie, or have a lead to someone who is, leave a comment or email me — click on my name in the right-hand column, or use annelaurie (at) verizon (dot) net — and I’ll put you in touch with Ann Marie

    What a cutie and I have no doubt that a home will be found. If I lived closer, I’d snatch him for my son, who still hasn’t found the perfect cat to adopt since Mr. Alice passed on.

    Man is he ever adorable. My sister got two new kittens while we were visiting her in Lancaster County a few weeks ago, and I’ve been having kitten envy since.One of my two females hates the other still even after almost 18 months. I thought poor Gabriella needed another kitty to love, she’s been soooo lonely since her brother Moses died of kidney failure. But the newest rescue hates females, or is territorial, or had been an only cat. So, if I did bring another kitten home, I think it’d have to be male. Too bad I’m in Memphis and have just left PA.

    How is he with dogs? Does your friend know? I have two Golden’s also and they love the cats and the cats love them.

    If you don’t find anyone local, I think I just talked myself into becoming his servant. If we can figure out a way to get him closer to me.

    Of course kittens should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their fur or their size, but by far the most loving and cherished cat in our menagerie is a tiny black fur ball we had given to us because no one else would take her.

    Black cats are the most affectionate of all the ones I’ve ever rescued. Failing a forever home, our new spay/neuter org can squeeze him in as a foster. Having said that, I need to follow up with “the board is going to kill me” because we’re getting out of the adoption biz and into the prevention of unwanted animals biz.
    Depending on where Dee is, we can assist with a transport leg too if needed.

    @Dee Loralei:

    Distance and location have no factor in pet homing. BJ has a long standing tradition of funding transportation. Little kitten fits in cabin on airplane. Fly up, get met at airport with kitten, fly back. Not even a day. Very likely people here will donate to fund this expedition. And the vet certificate. And the carrying case.

    This goes for anyone, anywhere, because there has never been a time on BJ when someone wanted a pet and it needed transport where funding has not been found. People pledge a few bucks at a time, presto, family made.

    Or as @burnspbesq said: Road trip.

    Relay little kitty to Memphis in 2 hour shifts. Volunteers drive. People pledge to cover gas, carrier big enough for litter box, so no stopping. Or an overnight at a pet friendly motel. (Red Roof Inn’s frequently take cats, stayed in one with cat myself driving cross country. Was fine.)

    “Memphis” would be a good name for this little one.

    @Shazza: Yet another BJ pet rescue success, as everyone else says, I demand updates as to Ninnie’s progress.

    June 24, 2014 at 7:11 pm

    @Dee Loralei:

    It always seems problematic to have two female cats together — I’m assuming it’s a territory thing. Strangely, two (neutered) males can be the best of pals, and a male/female pairing almost always works, but two females is definitely tricky.

    We have a (neutered) male and two females and everyone gets along fairly well, but the majority of the conflicts are definitely the two females jockeying for position.

    ETA: You do realize that WereBear’s solution would be to add a third cat, right? ;-)

    Thank you! Yes! Sometimes:

    The solution to your cat problem is more cats.

    However, in this case, Shazza turns out to need a Ninnie, and all is well! Mazel tov!

    @WereBear:

    We are convinced that the message Keaton is giving to G when he leaves every morning is, “Have a good day at work, and don’t bring any more kittens home!” Keaton has raised two kittens (and had two additional visiting kittens), and he’s exhausted.

    happy day. Warning the undersized kitten stray I adopted 10 years ago. Grew a pound a month after being dewormed. He turned into a burly 18lb cat twice the size of any cat I’d ever owned and it wasn’t fat till he got older. vet care can matter. he is all black too but tailless not a Scottish fold.

    32 hrs and 21 minutes away and can never hope to get there in time before someone else adopts him.

    Your Karma awaits you, Anne Laurie, oh cruel one. ;-)
