Food Is Life

Me:

Vet clinics often have litters of kittens to raise. Either they’re too young for a shelter, too sickly, or the clinic intends to adopt them out when they’re big enough. Whatever the reason, nurses often end up raising kittens and giving them ‘temporary’ names. 

The intention of these temporary names is that if you give the kitten a stupid name, you have something to call it other than ‘the middle black male’, but because it’s a stupid name you wont get emotionally attached and end up keeping it. Again. 

I ended up keeping Trash Bag.

He’s growing fast.

And getting into trouble

This is almost definitely someone’s pet pigeon that just landed right on @sacculetta’s head and didn’t want to be much farther away from human contact than that. I guess we have a pigeon for now because none of the neighbors know whose he could be yet and apparently there’s no bird rescue in Portland that’ll take a pigeon in, pet or not.

They are all domesticated birds, and fear of people has to be learned.

Look up Palomacy.
