It's the Abe Vigoda of spiders.

Update. The local rescue has agreed to take her once I socialize her and then try and adopt her out!!

We have several good ones (one has adoption events at Petco, one at Petsmart) but the issue has been that they are "full". I'm hoping the fact that I've done some of the work will incentivize them to take her.

🐈‍⬛Mostly good news. She's a she, ~ 6 months old, eye damage is old and permanent, no FIV or feline leukemia. Vet also though she's a good candidate for socialization. Now gotta get my local cat rescue to foster her. 🤞

I asked my oldest to assist me in extracting some data from a book and they began by marking the pages where the data are. It's cool to see how our minds work differently. I would never mark the pages but just do it as I go. Also, it's a lot of data! 🦟📖🔬

Gonna be thinking about this guy for a long time

The view of my day! 🦟 Narrator voice: Yes he picked mosquito pupae for several hours

I can hear it now, "Wow, thats a big fella" "At my place we call those gallynappers" "You've got termites? Roaches? Bed bugs? That's none of my damn business"

Well I can get close enough to this one to touch (no growling or hissing). We have two in the house that were strays and both didn't have any issues with being handled. I keep telling them how lucky they are.

Wish us luck. We have a vet drop off in the morning so they can assess her/his eye. Then depending on that spay/neuter next week with the local clinic. I'm still hoping to home it but those two events will be very telling and of course trapping it will be wild.

🐈‍⬛Looking for advice. We've had a stray kitten in our garage for ~ 1 wk. She approachable but probably not "tame" (she always seems scared, has an eye issue). We've been feeding her, she's using litter box. No local no-kills seem to want her. Don't want an outdoor cat. Not sure what else to do.
