Apparently I cannot be trusted with unsupervised access to my own skin.

At least the Cone of Shame makes me look like a majestic space flower. 🌌🌸

Meet Harriet Houdini and Thistle — two kittens who will be available soon and are already looking for their forever homes! We're taking applications now! First they need to be spayed and neutered and we need your help! You can either go here https://tinyurl.com/3awkxp6x or scan the qr code in the pic below.

Harriet Houdini
This little tabby has a huge personality in a tiny body. She got her name from her early days of escaping every crate we put her in — turns out she's just too curious to stay put. When she's awake, she's exploring every corner, investigating anything new, and bouncing from one adventure to the next. Once she wears herself out, she loves curling up with her humans and any animal siblings, purring the second she's happy. Like any kitten, she thinks fingers make great toys, so she's still learning good manners, and she'll do best with someone ready to give her plenty of playtime and guidance. If you want a loving, entertaining little companion who brings a little chaos with her love, Harriet is ready for you.

Thistle
This sweet boy already loves people like it's second nature. He's friendly, has a motor that never stops, and is happy to be scooped up and held like a baby while he purrs away. He loves chasing wand toys and is always ready for a play session before settling in for cuddles. He's still adjusting to life around other animals, which is completely normal for a kitten his age — with patience and slow introductions, we expect his confidence to keep growing. If you want a kitten with a giant purr and a playful, affectionate spirit, Thistle is ready for a lifetime of love.

I made a mess of my abdomen, got a bath, had my ears cleaned and medicated, got sprayed with antibiotics, and now I’m shivering because apparently no one in this hospital cares about my suffering. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.” 🌸🥺
For just 37 cents a day, you too can help a freshly bathed little white dog recover from the devastating consequences of his own actions. 🎻

No one knows the troubles I’ve seen… 🎶
(Everyone knows. I did it to myself.)

Bat pajamas: on. 🦇
Belly: out.
Bones: apparently optional.
No thoughts. Just Noodle. 🍜

Mom’s job is hard sometimes.

She spends her nights trying to help sick and injured pets, and sometimes, no matter how hard everyone tries, a patient doesn’t make it home. Those nights are especially hard.
That’s part of why I’m here. I provide emotional support, remind Mom why she does what she does, and occasionally just let her hold me when she needs it. ❤️
Tonight she really needs me.

I would, however, like it formally documented that I object to the squeezing.
Emotional support? Yes.
Being compressed like a stress ball? Absolutely not.

Breaking news: Hospital morale officer caught conducting an unauthorized trash inspection after coworker Sydney noticed suspicious activity.
😂 The consequences have arrived.

Quote from accused:

I was caught with my head in the trash. Sydney witnessed the whole thing. Management has decided I can no longer be trusted unsupervised. I'm currently serving my sentence in Mom's lap. I plan to appeal. 🐶🗑️💙

🚨 RAMEN NOODLE HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Apparently, I have been informed that the tiny freeloaders currently occupying MY house are called “foster kittens,” which means they are SUPPOSED TO LEAVE EVENTUALLY.

I would like to emphasize the eventually part.

These babies are looking for their forever homes! 🐾❤️ Their vetting costs are $100 each, and once they're all checked out and ready to go, they can officially begin their careers as someone else's adorable household chaos.

If you can't adopt, you can still help by donating toward their vet care or sharing this post so they can find their people.

My mother says they are precious.

I say they are using resources that could otherwise be allocated to me.

Either way, please help get these children adopted. I have been very patient.

💚 $100 covers vet care for one kitten
💕 Donations of any amount help
🏡 And if you're looking for a new tiny best friend… LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FACES.

Please share!

Mom took a few days off, but now we're both back at work. She's busy saving lives... and I'm making sure nobody steals my ball. We all have our roles. 🐶💙

Mom said I have "resting judgment face."

I prefer to think of it as professional concern.

Concern that my breakfast was exactly 37 seconds late.

Concern that the cats are getting attention again.

Concern that the squirrels continue to exist.

Concern that someone opened a bag of chips and failed to consult me first.

Mostly, though, I'm just happy to be here.

A couple of years ago, there were days when Mom didn't know what our future would look like because of my epilepsy. Now I get to make ridiculous faces, ride shotgun, and judge the world one side-eye at a time.

Those boring, ordinary days? They're my favorite.

🐶 Noodle here! 🐶

Normally this page is all about me (as it should be), but today I'm letting my cat siblings borrow the spotlight because this is important.

Meet Harriet and Mitchell. ❤️🐱

They love to cuddle, share beds, and groom each other... just like a lot of dogs and cats do at home.

That brings me to today's lesson:

⚠️ Pyrethrin and pyrethroid flea products can be deadly to cats. ⚠️

Many poisonings happen because a dog is treated with a flea product and then cuddles with the family cat before the medication has fully dried. Cats can also become poisoned if they're accidentally given a dog flea product.

Watch for signs like:
🐾 Muscle tremors or twitching
🐾 Excessive drooling
🐾 Ear flicking
🐾 Difficulty walking
🐾 Seizures

If you think your cat has been exposed:
🚨 Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital immediately.
🧼 If the product was applied recently and your cat is alert, you can bathe them with mild dish soap while arranging veterinary care—but don't delay getting help.

The good news is that many cats recover with prompt treatment.

From me, Noodle:
Please don't ever use dog flea products on your cat, and be careful about letting freshly treated dogs snuggle with their feline siblings until the product has dried according to the label directions.

I know... sharing the spotlight is hard. But if it helps save a kitty, I suppose I can make an exception. ❤️🐶🐱
