A Covid Christmas
Cat-tain’s Log is still on hiatus because I got Covid. Long Covid it turns out. 
A Covid Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
everybody had Covid…
Yeah.
So my eye injury is still healing and my laptop’s repaired, but at the end of November, I caught Covid. The one time I left my house for a medical appointment. It will be a while before I resume updates, writing, and the comic, as I seem to have the “long Covid” in terms of symptoms and fatigue.
I’m doing okay though and wanted to touch base with everyone to wish you all a HAPPY HOLIDAY, whatever it is you celeb...

With a Little Help from My Friends…
I’m going to be offline (except for cell) for a bit as my computer has a hardware failure. Due to Covid-19 and being high risk for it, my machine is being mailed back to Apple for hardware repair and diagnostics. Then it will have to be mailed back to me before I can use it again. This could be 1-2 weeks or more.
That means no updates here, no comics, no newsletters, etc.
In the meantime, I’m also dealing with a family crisis. My half-sister, Starla, fled a domestic abuse situation with her kids...
Temporarily Out of Range
My device is having a hardware failure. As such, my Logs are unable to reach you for an unknown amount of time. The device has to return home, be repaired, and then ship back to me. Until then, may your furry adventures be mouth watering and smell of tuna.

CAT-TAIN’S LOG: EPISODE 049
Riley and Malley are inseparable.
Wherever one is, the other goes. They sleep together. They eat together. They play together. In fact, they even go to the vet together.
If one of them goes to the vet without the other, they panic. Their toes sweat, they pant sometimes, and they try to hide in our clothes. It’s sort of cute yet horrible to think they’re so afraid. Together, they comfort one another and don’t panic as much.
These two are probably the closest I’ve ever seen two cats be.
