Unraveled the unfinished string bag because it felt like the yarn would do more good as a crocheted blanket. Fighting with dang twisting stitches. Why are hobbies not fun 😑

Heard a little sneeze outside and it’s the black cat in my yard hooking into Melbcat’s potted cat grass! (I rotate multiple pots between indoor and outdoor to allow sun and rain while regrowing from being eaten.)

Thankfully she hasn’t seen him to get distressed about him being in her territory. She’s tucked under the blanket. But I’m a little bit worried about traces of his saliva on her grass.

She gets vaccinated but at her age her immune system is vulnerable and the antibiotics she’s on have the risk to make her further immunocompromised. He runs around day and night with no collar on so I’m going to assume no shots. He also hunts.
