Gizmo is with us temporarily. His owner was evicted and had to move in with family, who are severely allergic to cats. So Gizmo’s owner could only bring her dog, and Gizmo moved in with us.

We have 2 small/medium dogs, and Gizmo was already understandably traumatized without his owner and dog brother, so he stayed close to the bed in the basement guest room. That way, safety was within reach, fast.

And today he has finally made it all the way out to the kitchen and was eating confidently.

Gizmo will be reunited with his owner and dog brother at the end of May. I hope to be a good foster for him until then. 🥹

Just so long as it wasn't after midnight.

For those who may be unaware, "Gizmo" was the name of the initial cute creature before things went horribly wrong in the movie Gremlins because he was inadvertently fed after midnight.

For the record, I always hated the concept. It is always past midnight, because we aren’t given time constraints.

You wanna know what’s after 12AM? 1AM. 2 AM. 5AM. 10AM. 6PM. 11PM.
