A little #tarot reading for sainted mother @RainierRambler on Mother's Day, under the baleful gaze of Christine the #smallbat. (We also had pizza and waffles.)
Notty cat subtly says "Hi!"

Because she loves to drink from the similarly curved faucet in the bathroom next door, I just installed this new cat fountain for Notty cat. So far she has sniffed it, but is mostly indifferent. She is a cat, after all. Hopefully she'll warm up to it. If not, I'll try removing the spigot, which should result in a bubbling spring effect she may find more acceptable. I can always reinstall the pipe later.

We got home last night, and both cats are fine, tolerating each other, and not a lot more, but that's fine for now. Every time I sit down in the living room, Notty is in my lap. Watched TV for a couple hours with my wife, and Notty was there almost the whole time. She has no sense of personal space, and I had to nudge her out of my face and between me and the TV several times. She doesn't mind. She's a pretty mellow cat.

Update from the cat sitter. That's Notty (Not My Cat) on the right eating from what are traditionally Susy the Floof's dishes (Notty's dishes are in the guest room still). That's Susy looking on from the left, looking grumpy but relaxed. The new cat introduction seems to be going well.
Back home soon.

I woke up to #NotMyCat sleeping on my work couch. He looked more disheveled than usual as he’s a fussy pretty boy, but I didn’t think too much on it.
About 5 minutes later his mom showed up and asked after him because SOMEONE was hiding from a vet appointment 
One sign that Notty Cat (Not My Cat) is now our cat is that she is suddenly in and on, EVERYTHING.

Apparently the new King’s Books cats are A) relaxed and B) named Janie and Carmela. (I think. I believe Janie is the calico and Carmela is the lynx point.) They were happy to ignore me. 
My wife, Chris, had to buy a new (much better) phone over the weekend as her old one died while she was traveling. Tonight, she tried out the new camera with this shot of the new cat, Notty (AKA Not My Cat) and I chilling on the recliner watching TV. I think the cat is settling in nicely.
I turned in the latest installment of my "Minions at Work" photo comics to Pulphouse Fiction Magazine today, allowing me some time to work on building some Minions props, a process that's a lot more relaxing that doing comic layout and dialog writing.
One ongoing element of my comics is that most of them incorporate one or more "Minion Cats," even if they aren't integral to the plots or jokes of that comic. The premise is that, due to a lab accident, Minion cat (there was originally only one) has become in space, time, and now, the multiverse, and they pop in and out of existence at will, sometimes "many" of them at once.
The cats are "played" by hand painted and sometimes customized plastic cat figures decorated in a "Minion uniform" pattern. The originals originated as a bag of toy cats I ordered from Amazon. Later, I ordered a whole BOX of the same cats from a seller who supplies prizes and favors to carnivals and fairs. With extras, I started cutting them up, swapping parts, and adding limited articulation to some like turning heads and movable tails. A few others are actually 3D printed.
But before I found that carnival supplier, I ordered a lot of other cats on-line hoping for alternate poses to use. Instead, I discovered that most listing for these things are vague or inaccurate in describing the size, and ended up with several assortments of cats that were too small. And thus, came the idea for "minion kittens." I started painting a few, and finished exactly one, before putting it aside as being very difficult. My hands aren't that steady, some some of the "Minion" pattern is pretty fidgety.
But recently I discovered "brush tip" markers for art and calligraphy and wondered if they could be used for painting details on action figures. Tonight I tried it out, and so far, pretty good. I made some slips, but it made it MUCH easier to paint the details on the smaller cats. I don't know of the paint will fade or rub off. Only time and further experiments will tell. But I'm happy with things so far.
In related news, I today and realized that our new shorthair cat, Notty, is a very good physical match for Minion cat. I pulled out a tape measure and sure enough, she's an almost exact scale match for her 1/6th scale counterparts. I can use photo reference of her to design future custom cats, and to figure out better carrying positions and poses for my 12" action figure characters. I asked my wife if that made Notty tax deductible, but she just laughed...

For anyone invested in #NotMyCat, I have good news
I texted the owners to confirm he & they were ok. The answer is yes, and he is just absurdly social, but he always comes home every night.
I’ve been keeping an eye on him and he seems to be less interested and less capable of harming birds or other wildlife. He’s also skittish around deer.
The only sad news is he can’t come inside anymore cause HEPA and sheet washing didn’t protect partner’s allergies.
Notty cat is free of cat jail and settling in.
