I don't know what to do about this cat situation with Pumpkin. He was desperate to go out, escaped after 3 days with me healing from his neuter & paw stitches, & went home. He was trying so hard to get out to his family all day that the carpet by my door is covered in a pile of scratching threads.

Cat-like, but not a cat. Hoplophoneus lived in N. America 35-29 million years ago and was a nimravid - sabertoothed carnivores closely-related to, but distinct from, true cats. Many nimravid skulls have bite marks made from other nimravids, suggesting they fought by biting at the eyes and face. 🧪

Speaking of quilts, if you are in Boulder, please go check out the quilt top I have at the Boulder Public Library’s “maker made“ show until November 13. Took over six months to make! A very kind library makerspace employee aimed a gallery light at it; can’t miss it when you’re walking in.

A 62“ x 62” square quilt hangs on the white wall of a gallery over a handrail. It has a bright central mariner’s compass made of orange, turquoise, purple, and yellow batiks on a background of vivid cobalt blue, surrounded by a curvy orange batik border, with a frame of dark purple eggplant.
