Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Republicans in disarray!

Battle won, war still ongoing.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

T R E 4 5 O N

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I really should read my own blog.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Reposting: Lucky the Cat Needs a New Home!!!!!

by Adam L Silverman|  March 3, 202310:30 am| 65 Comments

This post is in: Cat Blogging, Furry Friends, Pet Blogging, Pet Rescue, Silverman on Security

There was a lot of interest in Lucky in the comments yesterday, but I’ll need you to email me so I can put you in contact with Sheryl, as she’ll make the decision. So please email me at  Adam-Silverman (at) balloon-juice (dot) com and I’ll pass your info onto Sheryl and you can chat.  We’ll still help arrange transport as needed.

New pic!

Also Sheryl added this: One thing I forgot to say about lucky is, she does not scratch the furniture. She knows how to use a scratching post. Whoever had her before trained her very well.

This Is a Pet Bleg!!! I Repeat, This Is a Pet Bleg!!! Lucky the Cat Needs a New Home!!!!!

Touch the cat, bot a glove… I dare you!

About a month or so ago, the morning after the last hard freeze here, my barber stopped by her shop and found the pretty lady above. She had her checked for a microchip and there wasn’t one. Nor was there a collar. She then had the cat checked out by the same vet that checked for the chip. The cat, by then named Lucky, was given a clean bill of health and they redid all her shots/vaccinations just to be safe. She’s litter box trained, doesn’t shed, and does not seem to trigger people’s cat allergies. Unfortunately, she can’t have pets and we need to find this lovely and so far lucky little lady a new home. Here are the details from Sheryl:

Sorry to bother you so early. Have a bit of a problem. Our landlord is completely against us having a cat. There is no negotiating with him so I am reaching out to you to see if you can help with this situation. I’d like to find her a good home.
Thanks,
Sheryl

That came through at 6:15 AM. Fortunately I was up at 5 AM.

Here’s the rest of the necessary information:

She is between 8-10 yrs. Her last weigh in was 7.6 pounds. She is fully vaccinated. Is negative for parasites. She is on a flea and heart worm preventative regiment. She is an inside cat. She has all of her claws. She does not shed and is very talkative. Very friendly, loves to sit on your lap, likes to chase the laser light and is litter box trained. I am not sure how she is around other animals as she was found approximately a month ago.

I think she has quite a bit of Siamese in her because of the lack of shedding and her talking. She also likes to lick you.

So here’s where you all come in. One of you is either looking for a new cat or know someone who is. And Lucky just happens to need a new forever home. Lucky is in north Pinellas County, Florida (about 7 miles west of Tampa and five miles north of Clearwater). If you’re interested or no someone who is, please shoot me an email using the email a front pager tool at the top right of the page. And, of course, feel free to sign off in the comments. If you’re interested or knows someone who is or might be and are outside the immediate area and a few hours drive, we can work out transport to get Lucky to her new forever home.

Here’s some more pictures:

 

 

 

Let’s not let Lucky down!!!!!

I’ll be back this evening with a brief War for Ukraine Update.

Kitty Origin Stories

by WaterGirl|  February 19, 20235:21 pm| 73 Comments

This post is in: Pet Blogging, Pet Rescue

Leslie sent in this very sweet non-adoption adoption story, and since TaMara will be super busy for the next month or so, TaMara thought I should post it.

Woman finds a newborn kitten under her house and promises not to adopt her 💞 pic.twitter.com/9ddztpKrD2

— The Dodo (@dodo) February 18, 2023

TaMara said that was a lot like she got her first cat, so I told her the story of how I got my first cat. I ended my story with this:

So maybe we all have the same origin story with cats, and just the details are different?

And we both had the same thought – maybe a Kitty Origin Stories thread would be just the thing for Balloon Juice.

Kitty Origin Stories

Here’s mine:  My Kitty Soulmate, Quiver:

For me, it was the cat who wondered in when I worked at the University.  I was moved to a big warehouse building out in the country for a few months while they did some repairs to my office on campus.

I should start by saying that I had never been a cat person, though if I loved you, then of course I loved your cat.  But that was the extent of it.

I returned to work after a couple of days off, and there was a cat in the office.  They had named him Quiver, because of a funky thing he did with his tail.  It was fall, and he visited us every day for weeks.  In the week before Thanksgiving, I kept asking the top boss if we could bring him in for the 4-day weekend that was Thanksgiving – because it was getting really cold outside.  She finally relented!

All of us agreed we would share in the food, the feeding, the cost of the litter box, cleaning the litter box…  As soon as we put the litter box down, he used it, so we were in good shape.

But pretty soon I was the only one feeding him, the only one making sure he had fresh water in his bowl, the only one cleaning the litter box, the only one buying his food.  I didn’t mind.

He started hanging out in my office most of the time, so of course I had to buy him a little cat bed for my “visitors” chair.  And he needed a toy, for sure.  And a brush, he had to be brushed!   For treats, I brought in some cream.

I was usually the first one into the office every morning, and I would say “where’s Quiver” as I unlocked the door.  I knew how much I loved him the day I caught him absolutely racing down the long hallway to get to me in the morning.

Then one night there was a loud clap of thunder just as the night janitor opened the door to clean, and Quiver bolted out the door.  (The janitor felt terrible and left us a note.)  It was cold and rainy and he was nowhere to be found.  I was beside myself.  Inconsolable.  I drove around looking for him everywhere, in the rain, stopping at all the farms where I saw a human.  It rained for 2 days straight.

After a couple of days, I had all but given up on ever finding him.  Then one of the guys spotted him, soaking wet, hiding under a bush.  He snagged Quiver and immediately brought him to me.

At that point, it was obvious to everyone that he was my cat.  He was soaking wet and I’m wearing my good work clothes, but I couldn’t care less. I hugged him and toweled him dry and hugged him some more and held him until he was dry.  And then held him some more!

When I finally got to move back to my office on campus, I asked if I could take Quiver home with me, and they all said yes.  I really don’t know what I would have done if they had said no!

My sweet, beautiful boy.

So maybe we all have the same origin story with cats, and just the details are different?

Anyone else have a kitty origin story to share?

Anyone Up for Kitty Transport Relay?

by WaterGirl|  February 16, 20238:50 pm| 114 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads, Pet Blogging, Pet Rescue

So this beautiful little girl needs a home.

Anyone Up for Kitty Relay Transport? Anyone Up for Kitty Relay Transport? 1 Anyone Up for Kitty Relay Transport? 2 Anyone Up for Kitty Relay Transport? 3

grammy pat has her and caring & sensitive would like to have her.

Of course, grammypat lives in Texas, and caring & sensitive lives in Vancouver, BC.  So of course our fearless leader asked me to see if you guys are up for a cross-country kitty relay.

Starting point for the relay, if we can pull it off, can be either Austin or San Antonio – depending on the preference of the person who could take the first leg of the relay.

Destination could be either Bellingham or Seattle, depending on the preference of the person who takes the last leg of the relay.

As you all no doubt know by now, I suck at geography and time zones.  So I am most definitely not the person to figure out how to get from point A to point B.

Anybody up for participating in the relay?  I guess that’s the first step before we get serious about figuring out all the details.

Anyone Up for Kitty Transport Relay?

BREAKING: Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) announces cancer diagnosis. @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/nOSNJDOALZ

— Adam Longo (@adamlongoTV) December 28, 2022

(3) Just in the past 2 years, Congressman Raskin has:
– lost his son to suicide
– his daughter & son in law were trapped in Capitol on Jan 6
– been impeachment manager
– sat on Jan 6 committee
– elected ‘Ranking Member’ of the House Oversight Committee for the upcoming Congress

— Adam Longo (@adamlongoTV) December 28, 2022

Per the Washington Post:

… “My love and solidarity go out to other families managing cancer or any other health condition in this holiday season,” he said, “ — and all the doctors, nurses and medical personnel who provide us comfort and hope.”

This is not Raskin’s first battle with cancer. In 2010, he underwent radiation and chemotherapy as he fought Stage 3 colon cancer.

In 2021, he underwent an MRI exam to identify a growth on his stomach that turned out to be a benign cyst, he told The Washington Post for a profile a year ago.

Raskin, who won reelection last month with more than 80 percent of the vote, this month was elected ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. He was thrust into the national spotlight last year after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tapped him to lead the Trump impeachment trial…

Sunday Morning Open Thread: Yay for Fishtopher!

Per the Washington Post:

… The “very sad and depressed” 5-year-old feline, a New Jersey shelter said, was waiting for someone to adopt him.

The call-out that went viral — possibly thanks to Fishtopher’s decidedly unimpressed expression — has been answered: A Maryland couple drove to pick up the “big cheeky boy” at the shelter this weekend.

“FISHTOPHER HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!” the Blackwood, N.J., shelter said Saturday.

Social media users have avidly followed Fishtopher’s story since a Twitter post with a screenshot of the seemingly grumpy cat’s online adoption profile was posted on Thanksgiving Day, earning more than 169,000 likes…

Tanner Callahan, 24, applied to adopt Fishtopher after his partner, Laura Folts, 22, sent the link to the cat’s profile — though it wasn’t initially “a super serious thing,” Folts told The Washington Post on Twitter. “We had been talking of Tanner adopting a cat or dog since he moved into his new (bigger) place, and had a trend of me sending cute animals as a joke,” she added.

Callahan lives in Baltimore, and Folts outside of the city. The couple posted pictures of their journey home with Fishtopher on Twitter…

Folts tweeted that Fishtopher has feline immunodeficiency virus, or FIV, which weakens cats’ immune systems and is similar to the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. Cats cannot transmit FIV to humans…

The executive director of Homeward Bound, Lysa Boston, told Insider, “We are thrilled with all the attention that he [Fishtopher] got and hope that it will make people realize that we have so many wonderful cats and dogs as well up for adoption that are so often overlooked.”

Fishtopher the cat got some circulation on socials the last couple days. and the folks who adopted him are being so kind to share many pics of him with us. let's not badger them, but also, LOOOOK at him! https://t.co/CSBkCyxzty

— Suzy (endless screaming) (@mis_cue) November 26, 2022

Of course, Fishtopher has his very own twitter account, now — and he (his humans) share pics of other forlorn shelter cats who are still looking for their own happy endings…

Friday Respite Open Thread: “In Search Of A Hot Pink Bitch Named Breakfast”

by Anne Laurie|  October 28, 20227:14 pm| 50 Comments

This post is in: Dog Blogging, Excellent Links, Open Threads, Pet Rescue, Respite

I tracked down my favorite meme: the hot pink bitch named breakfast!! He was born at a Wendy's, he's a punk rock groupie, and he's living out his golden years in Western Massachusetts (and doggie diapers). More in @DefectorMedia
https://t.co/a3wBOFxguk

— Annie? Rauwerda? (@anniierau) October 27, 2022

Before y’all get judgey, I once dyed my first dog glitter blue for his doggy obedience-class Halloween party. He didn’t find the dye (which washed out right afterward) nearly as annoying as the strap-on butterfly wings and the light-up deelybobbers… he was a Papillon! (And a bodhisattva, but that’s a longer story.)

“This hot pink bitch was named breakfast!!!” is a string of words and punctuation that’s just barely coherent enough to communicate its subject matter (a magenta dog that is named after a meal) and just crazed enough to inspire intense devotion. The sentence was written, possibly for the first time in history, in a March 22, 2018, post to “Dogspotting” by Katie Dawson along with a blurry snap of a roseate Pomeranian.

In Dogspotting, the 1.8 million-member Facebook group, people post pictures of dogs they’ve spotted and assign them semi-arbitrary point value. It was a mid-2010s internet triumph: one of those rare low-stakes, positivity-only outposts on an increasingly sour and combative internet…

But Breakfast is, at least by the standards of viral animals, underexposed. Unique among internet-famous pets, Breakfast has no curated online presence, no brand deals, no intention to be anything other than a hot pink bitch. Breakfast presumably doesn’t even know they are hot pink, as dogs are colorblind and pink is not a color they see.

A few weeks ago, after I saw a periodic repost of the photo, I realized that the photo was four years old, and that’s about 30 percent of a Pomeranian’s lifespan, which made me sick with fear that Breakfast might have died. I’d lose my breakfast if I lost my Breakfast!

So I cracked my knuckles, opened a new tab, and started my quest for Breakfast. First, I tracked down Katie, Breakfast’s original spotter who now lives in Arlington, Va., and works in partnerships at a philanthropy organization. The Dogspotting Facebook group has an ironclad rule against posting dogs you know, so it was unlikely that Katie and Breakfast had a long-established relationship, but I hoped that maybe she had stayed in touch with the dog’s owners. I mean, they’d presumably struck up a conversation when they told her Breakfast’s name. I pestered Katie with a few messages and eventually she replied to say that she did not know Breakfast’s whereabouts. “Pretty wild that I still get people reaching out about this when I took that picture close to five years ago,” she added, making it clear that she’d moved on. I, unfortunately, had not…

We asked each other, “If you were a hot pink bitch named Breakfast, where would you be?” The answer, instantly obvious, is Instagram. Reed and I looked through the hashtags #breakfastdog and #breakfastthedog, which turned out to be mostly galleries of egg-topped hot dogs or dogs eating bacon, until we found one blurry shot of a Pomeranian by a couch. A bit of sleuthing revealed that Breakfast’s owners had been in an NYC-based punk band—making them the exact type of people you’d expect to dye a dog hot pink, I suppose. Soon enough, I was on the phone with them.

“We got him in 2012 and first dyed him pink in 2013,” Sofia, 33, told me while she was making dinner for her human toddler. In this moment, I realized that Breakfast was a he—a hot pink bro, as it turns out…

Friday Respite Open Thread: "In Search Of A Hot Pink Bitch Named Breakfast"

Dude living his best life!

… In 2012, Sofia and Johnny, now 43, had been partying at a house with a Pomeranian and impulsively decided to buy their own the next day. They followed a Craigslist lead to East New York where they met a teenager who described her unstable living environment and desperation to rehome the dog. “She told us that Breakfast was born at a Wendy’s,” Johnny said. They took him home and changed his name from Coco to Breakfast, which Johnny had been saving for years: “He’s just a very important man who goes with a very important meal,” he explained. (Despite the sentiment, Johnny does not regularly eat breakfast.) Eventually, though, they came around on the name Coco. “Ironically,” Johnny told me, “that’s what we ended up naming our daughter.”

The young Breakfast was so malnourished he could only walk for 20 feet at a time. “His legs were tiny macaronis,” Johnny remembered. But after a healthy diet and regular exercise, he got stronger, and after a few months, they decided to dye him pink.

Why, I asked, which felt to me like an obvious question. To which Johnny asked a question of his own: “Where does anyone get their ideas?” Fair enough. “It’s punk rock, fuck it!” he added…

Rescue pets, truly the best. More details & (not enough) photos at the link. Stay fabulous, Breakfast!

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update)

by WaterGirl|  October 11, 20221:00 pm| 54 Comments

This post is in: Balloon Juice, Pet Rescue

More on the 10 kittens, and photos!

Laura titled this The Kindness of Strangers!

Introduction from Laura:

WaterGirl, in her infinite patience with Luddites, offered to post a second installment in the Hartstene Island Kitten Rescue epic, so here goes:

I am trying to find homes for ten kittens.

The ten kitties are eating, pooping, playing, sleeping and practicing their winsome cuteness skills in hopes of finding the homes their moms and dads never had. They come from a property where a kind lady fed a few stray cats and tried to get them fixed, but couldn’t keep up with their reproduction. When I found out about the situation, there were thirty plus cats on the property. A friend and I are trapping the adults, getting them fixed, and placing them in barns through BarnCats.

I am a volunteer at a sanctuary for unadoptable cats. It is not an official charity. The sanctuary is a series of cottages with enclosed yards which the owner built to house the overspill of feral, elderly, and sick cats from a local cat rescue. The kittens are in large ferret cages in one of the cottages, They can’t live at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives; there isn’t room, and besides they are adoptable!

The lady from Kitten Rescue came out and dewormed the kittens, gave them their first shots, cleaned their ears, and figured out what sex they all are.  “Phoebe” and “Spice Girl” are boys. 

.

So here are the kitties:

Sammy is a Siamese mix. He was nearly dead when I found him curled up on a pile of garbage. He is now a sweet, happy, bouncy kitten with cream and brown fur and blue eyes. Very playful!

Muffet is the sweetest of all the kittens. A gentle, unassuming animal, she tends to withdraw, but she loves a cuddle and has a loud purr. Her fluffy fur is black, and she has white toes.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 1
Muffet & Sammy

.

Ashley is the runt. A tiny kitten, she is a tabby with white markings. She is very cuddlesome and frolicsome. It is funny to watch her trying to get the bigger kittens to play with her. They mostly leave her alone because she is so small. She is very well socialized to humans.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 2

.

Phoebe is her sibling and nearly identical to her but a size larger. BTW, I don’t know for a fact that they are girls. They are too young to tell yet. Phoebe is shy with humans she doesn’t know.  Vet visit: Phoebe is a boy.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 3

.

Wally the Walrus is the biggest and the bounciest. He was feral at first and hissed at me. I have been working with him, and he now acquiesces to being held. I think in the right home he will become a loving cat. He is a dark, nearly black tabby with white markings.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 4

.

The Dustbunnies are a pair of runts. Dusty has fluffy gray fur and Bunny is a fat round little guy, also with gray fur but not fluffy. They are socialized to people. Even though they are small, they are eating kibble and playing and seem healthy.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 5

.

The cream twins. These two beautiful kittens have cream-colored fur and blue eyes. I don’t know their gender. They are well socialized.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 6

.

Spice Girl is a dark tabby with a big personality. She’s tiny but mighty. She might be a boy.  Vet visit: Spice Girl is a boy.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 7

.

Here are 3 of Sammy’s kittens.

10 Rescued Kittens & Cats Need Homes! (Update) 8

.

None are ready to place yet, though Sammy, Muffet, and Wally are close. I prefer to get them fixed first but will enturst them to the care of people who have a vet that can vouch for them and a track record of preventing their pets from having babies.  I would prefer to place the kittens as pairs: Sammy and Muffet, the Dustbunnies, the cream twins. Wally and Spice Girl seem to be confident enough to place alone.

Speaking of kindness of strangers, Laura and her husband were kind enough to make a donation toward the kittens’ care. I appreciate their support! And I am very grateful to WaterGirl for coping with my incompetence with texting, messaging, sending photos etc.

Mason Co WA, where I live is overrun with homeless animals. Kitten Rescue, a local group that has been very helpful with supplies, has 100 kittens on their premises to place! Clearly, to find homes for the kittens in my care, I need to reach outside of Mason Co. That’s why, dear Bjers, I am hoping some of you are in need of a cat. Or two. Or three.

Thank you!
