Every year for the past 30 some years, my family does a Christmas Talent Show. This year, my talent was a dramatic reading of the saga of Jean and @JortsTheCat.
With a puppet.
Everyone approved except their pug. I'm not sure if he objected to the sweet potato or the puppet.

That had to take a lot out of that koala! They sleep all day. I can imagine seeing it in a Xmas tree and thinking it’s a plush toy.
loved seeing them at the San Diego zoo in the before times.

That’s a motto for life, ain’t it?

Murphy bless the Koala Rescue Squad!
Absolutely Yes. And all the rescue ppl, everywhere, always. Horses (who still seem to be fair game for abuse almost everywhere) and cats and dogs, and raptors, and bats, and yeah people too. Like the RNLI, and RAICES.

I would pay good cash money to watch a dramatic reading of The Saga of Jean and Jorts, with or without a puppet. I suppose it’s too much to hope that Mary Robinette Kowal actually recorded her performance for Tik-Tok or You Tube or something.

@SiubhanDuinne:
Heh. Just looked up Mary Robinette Kowal on Wikipedia, and it turns out she has been a professional puppeteer for more than 30 years! And a writer! So you just know her J&J show was slick. Also clicked through to some of the Twitter replies, and turns out I am far from the only one yearning for a video — lots of her followers are begging her to do one.

Because if there’s one thing the internet is woefully in need of it’s more cats.

Koala!
La la la la Koala!!
La la la la Koala!!!
I used to do Marine Mammal Rescue. Mostly sea lions (mostly domoic acid issues), an occasional young elephant seal, and a single otter. Anyway, except for the otter, one would never approach a wild animal like the Koala folks. Brave, maybe crazy, Folks.

@NotMax: Private mosquito control, for what? Sorry missing the joke. It’s only midnight here, but the cats are wearing me out.
I don’t randomly kill all insects by any means. FFS, I rescue spiders when I find them inside, because they eat bad insects. Mosquitos… remind me of Republicans. Because they’re blood sucking, disease-carrying, misery-spreading evil creatures.
Yes, that’s how I really feel
Oops

@SiubhanDuinne: I’m in srs danger of being Up to the Plimsoll line with cats right now. My kids’ cats. This may be a topic for Werebear, ok.

[sententiously] Every person must decide for him- or herself how many cats are “too many.”

@SiubhanDuinne: Absolutely!

@SiubhanDuinne: Otoh, It’s my grandcats… And in fact I am cheating as a good approximation of a Grandmother should. Just a bit. Hint to kids: you don’t your cats spoiled? Don’t dump them on me. Pilled 2X daily, fine, I can pill a cat in my sleep, or nearly. Extra special et ceteras? Treats all the way! so the big bully boy isn’t entirely allowed to be a big bully… I srsly bet that’s all grandmothers for most mammals from forever.
