General life update

We are just a few weeks out from the release of Magic in the Headlines, and there is still so much to do. I'm feeling a bit swamped. This week was super busy. First, Bast found a stray cat on our back porch, a very beautiful Main Coon tabby. We are over cat-pacity in our…

Cat Update

Last week wasn't a great week at Chez KnotMagick. Wednesday, I was just about to make my breakfast when Ash informed me there was bloody stool in the litterbox. So we ran around catching cats and trying to figure out which one had left the deposit. It turned out Hermes was the culprit. Hermes is…

Cat Update

The clowder has been largely well behaved of later, though even weirder than usual. Bast likes to sleep in the bottom drawers of my dresser, but the other day he decided to use the top drawer instead. He got himself stuck behind a drawer and I had to remove it to get him out again.…

Lord and Lady Fluffington Purr Again

Yes, I'm the kind of crazy that writes silly stories about my cats. If you want to read the first installment, you can find it here. There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort. However when one is forced into staying home, such as during a quarantine of extended period, it does become…

Cat Update

This morning I learned that Gwyd has learned how to open draws. I discovered this when I went into the bathroom and found him sleeping in the bottom drawer of the vanity, hugging the role of toilet paper we'd hidden there. I haven't decided if I'm going to put a child lock on that drawer,…

Cat Update

Gwyd is settling in. He's affectionate, but not a snuggler. The boy loves his ear rubs, though, and will go completely boneless at the slightest hint of scritches. He and Bast have been playing together. They chase each other and wrestle, but are still learning what the boundaries are. We separate them at the first…

Not the Cat we were Looking For

This is Gwydion. Gwyd showed up on Friday in the trap we set to catch Morrigan (who hasn't been seen). He was clearly not feral, but also clearly had been living rough for a while. We pegged him between 8-12 months old. We didn't have the heart to let him go, so we took him…

Current Projects and a Finished Object

I would like to say that I missed Friday's blog post because I was busy doing exciting things, but the truth is, I was catching up on sleep. Bast has spent every waking moment trying to get out either the front or back door, convinced he can find his sister. As they are a bonded…

Check in, with Cats

I hop you are all staying well. So far, despite essentially being at Ground Zero, we are okay. Ash and I have been isolating as much as possible, but we are still both expected to go into work for the time being. I spent the weekend sewing and knitting, and you'll see some of what…

Sunday Tarot with Bonus Blooper Reel

Happy Sunday! We're starting off the week with another fun reading and a new deck! I'm trying out the Halloween Oracle for the first time this week (yes, I know, it's January. I don't care) so I thought I'd do a bit of a themed spread for the upcoming week. And remember, these readings are…
