Unignorable Distraction
And She Couldn't Care Less
Distracting thoughts of xasleirhgsDFGSADF
Idiot. Get down!
Shit, shit, shitty, shit, shit.
Take a hike, Furbag.
Run away.
Abigail, get off my keyboard!
Can you not hear me? I said get down.
Treats! You want some treats?
I'm going to roast you if you don't get down!
Oh, for the love of God.
Nevermind! Keep the damn keyboard.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

This is so funny! I love how animated the narration of this piece is. Isn’t it interesting how cats are inclined to sit on the one thing we need?
Nice thoughts on distraction. Cats make purrfect pets.
Purrfect. I've been a-mew-sed.
Hahahaha!! You captured this perfectly!! Oh, Abigail. She just wants your attention, lol :) Great work, my friend.
So lovely 💖📝❗
Lol this just made my morning🤣
"But it's so warm mom!" A battle you've lost from Day 1 Cathy!
This so funny and so true. Purrrrfect for the challenge.
Oh the power of defiance 😂😂 funny funny fun fun 😊
Yeah, I hear you. Sometimes my dog rests his big head on my arm as I'm trying to type.
"Shit shit shitty shit shit" got me! 😅
Love the ones about Abigail
Hahahahaha. Her expression looks like she's saying, "Idiot? Who, me? Nope, never gonna move now!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha! Oh my God, Cathy (sorry...and Abigail) this made my morning! I have a giant dog-sized keyboard commandeerer and the struggle is real. I generally do what you do. There's no use fighting those that make the house rules. 😄 🤣
So relatable!! Love this! ❤️
Funny cause it's true! Good job!
Hahaha I can relate to this lol. Fantastic my friend.
Cat wins another round!
I knew Abigail would be back! Does she ever stop trying to rule the world? LOL!
LOL This is classic! And great picture to go with it! :)
Love Abigail ❤️ lol. I'm sure she was only trying to help ❤️
Hey, if it's where you want to be, it's where she wants to be.
Hey! Don't you yell at that poor, abused thing! 🙀🤣
Love this, love Abigail, love YOU! You always manage to put a smile on my face with these 🤗 Awesome entry!! ❤️❤️
Ha! It sounds like this was from personal experience! Cats love to place themselves wherever your attention is focused, whether that is a book, a keyboard, or even dinner! Well done, Cathy.
