Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Pray For Me I Am Dying

by John Cole|  February 19, 20199:27 am| 90 Comments

Steve has been sequestered in one of the guest rooms since six am when he woke me up for breakfast. I picked him up and loved on him like I normally do every morning before walking downstairs to feed him, but instead of putting him down and heading downstairs, I carried him into the guest bedroom. We are heading to the groomers this morning, and instead of spending my usual three hours trying to find him and then showing up late, I planned ahead. I even moved his litter box into the spare bedroom last night because I knew he would be in there.

In short, I have an unfed feral bobcat who feels tricked and betrayed locked in my spare bedroom. The low growls have ceased as has the headbutting of the door, so I think he has prepared an ambush. I am going to shower and put on my overalls and gloves and I will get back to you. I hope.

    I’m also not sure prayers to St. Tunch will do any good. Not your prayers; He’s probably listening pretty good to Steve right around now.

    This sounds painfully familiar, and you have my deepest sympathy and empathy. My three cats–born feral and still very skittish and displeased about being cooped up–travel with me between the Bahamas and Maine twice a year, with several visits with friends along the way. About a week before departure, I start feeding them in a small bathroom, with their carriers on floor and the door closed. They KNOW, but they’re also pigs. On the last day, they can read the vibes, though I’ve starved them the night before. The only good thing is that two of them tend to run into the carriers to hide. Nevertheless, I’m usually bloody and exhausted by the time I have them corralled. Good luck.

    BTW: yes, we’ve had cats, too, and I like ’em ok, but they’re never your sidekick best-bud forever the way a dog is. I get that among the reasons some folks like cats is that they retain an ineradicable, untamable feral element that’s only kept at bay from shredding their owner like a caught sparrow because you’re much bigger than they are, but that’s not among their positive assets for my taste.

    Our mild-mannered sweetheart cat Fiona never shows any aggression. But once, upon receiving an injection at the vet, she sprang up like the face-grabber in Alien and latched onto the vet tech’s chest. We had to pry her off. I apologized a thousand times, but the tech said she was used to it. I was mortified.

    @cmorenc: Percy (our 2nd rescue dog) is kinda finicky about that. He will jump right into my truck but if it’s Momma’s car he tucks his tail and hides. He will also spit out treats from her from time to time, which if I then offer to him he takes (to great peals of laughter from me). Yesterday he refused one from her. I offered it to him and he took it and walked off with it. About 20 feet away he spit it out on the sidewalk. We concluded he just didn’t want to hurt my feeling.

    Dear friends,
    It’s been one whole day since the start of the National Emergency of taking Steve to the Groomers. I’ve tempted him with his own room but the growls are strong and the headbutting continued through the night. This morning, I am most fearful that those 6-toed claws will be used as defensive weapons. I still have to get treats for the return tonight.
    Pray for me and the dogs,

    And 1 to 5 is just not enough digits to cover the myriad of crises in Mr. Cole’s life. You need to think outside whole numbers. For instance; SNAFU-2.6: Cole is engaged in an angry conversation with his mother over the most trivial of navigational way points on their way to a nice family dinner out.

    My bigger cat is a passive resister and it’s a problem finding out where he’s hidden himself, and getting leverage to drag him out of whatever he has wedged himself into.
    With the other one, it’s simply going to be a fight no matter how sneaky or clever I think I am, so it’s oven mitts and a winter coat. That makes short work of it for me. Boom, into the carrier you go.

There doesn’t seem to be any other state. But SNAFU 0 should be inherent with both 1 and 5. As you said, there’s always cat puke… somewhere.

    The Resistance by Steve makes me sigh because my mini steve is waning and I’d rather go back to the days of Charley’s Amazing Disappearing Act before vet. He got more blood work yesterday. The periodic blood panels that say everything is ‘gray zone, we will not treat yet’ have eaten up the money to get him the cure when they finally say ‘as we predicted, now he’s in trouble by the numbers.’ I know it’s not their fault, but he’s had all the physical and behavioral signs for almost two years, including a nodule and wasting away.

    I’m sure ALA was exactly as bad, and still is, mostly. Those CSA folks cannot get over that racist supremacy nonsense. Fuck ’em for sure!

    My cat has to be sedated for every trip to the vet. He just absolutely loses his little furry mind and attacks everything and everyone. I call it “puma mode”. He’s totally calm at home, starts purring when you just look at him, allows total strangers to pet his stomach, and plops at the feet of visitors. But he cannot stand the vet. They have to use the rabies pole to get him out of the carrier. I have to trick him to get him into the carrier but fortunately he’s not very bright. Cute and cuddly, but not smart.

    Am I the only one hoping John will file an After Action Report because it just sounds like it will be a good read?

    this has the sound of letters from the Civil War
    “The enemy still holds their position in the guest room and our lines drawn up close around the place. We are now on the upstairs landing overlooking the dogs. We have a fine view of our entire line and also of theirs. It is said that we can see into five different rooms from our position. It is very cold up here, as cold as it is where you are in mid-winter. You must excuse this exceedingly bad letter as I have written in great haste. My love to you and all. Write when you can and a long letter as I am very anxious to hear from you.”

    Fare thee well, Johnny, we hardly knew ye.
    Am not able to stop laughing, esp. over Steve headbutting the door. Thank God my three cats are shorthairs.

    I’m sorry but this was hysterical. I needed a laugh. My asshole dog stole a plastic bag full of lettuce this morning. She hates lettuce but wouldn’t give it back to me. I ended up trading cheese for it. Ugh.

    @MomSense: If you keep saying “Give” as the exchange is made, she will eventually learn to surrender whatever it is. Always trade up during the learning period.

    My heart sank when I first read the title. Thanks for the laughs at work. Much needed! I’ll check in this afternoon in hopes of a full accounting. This time I’ll hold the beer until after so I don’t have to wipe the screen. I adore you all!

    RIP Cole. Thanks for full service almost top 10,000 blog which I hope lands in good hands and continues. Hope Steve finishes his work as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

    As a solo cat owner, I understand and even sympathize with the eternal struggle that is “DAMMIT WILL YOU GET IN THE CAGE YOU NEED TO GET THAT FLEA TREATMENT AND NAIL CLIPPING OW OW OW OW”.
