Cats

October always brings two things: Vaccines for me and vaccines for the cats. And pumpkins and spooky movies, but those don't matter right now.

Gigabyte and Millimeter are true angels and are never aggressive unless provoked. So it's a very stressful experience to put them through the process of being examined and stuck with a needle once a year. It's also heartbreaking to see how sluggish they are and how little appetite they have for about 24 hours after getting vaccinated. Poor babies. But it's for their own good, and I don't want them to get seriously ill.

This concludes this year's vaccination season.

When Anna and I first met, she told me that her friends Simone and Pastu love cats and would very much like to see as many pictures and videos of mine as possible. Back then, I already invited them to come visit and say hi to Gigabyte and Millimeter.

That finally happened on this day, and at least Gigabyte showed herself from her best side. Milli is a bit shy, but she came around after a while.

I sometimes forget to make enough time for myself, which leaves my social battery completely drained and brings on headaches.

This was the first vacation I never wanted to end. But I was also glad to be back with the cats.

I painted this without a sketch, and it shows. Which is both a good and a bad thing at the same time.

You can tell how often I cook by how long it took me to get these.

I slept like a baby after this day.

Bless you!

Give me a run, an exhibition and good company and I'm having a good day.

Back home, back to business

This marks the end of our little Barcelona adventure.

Preparing the way.
