Nature and Feline Friday with my Nephews

Our hosts for Nature Friday  LLB Gang   

North Carolina's state freshwater fish, the Southern Appalachia Brook Trout was designated in 2005.  It is found in the pure, high-elevation streams of Southern Appalachia.

Known for their vibrant colors but also for facing significant population declines due to historical logging and the introduction of non-native trout species. Conservation efforts, including captive propagation and reintroduction programs, are underway to restore these populations in areas like the Great Smoky Mountains and western North Carolina. 

Characteristics and habitat

• Genetics and size: This is a unique strain that is genetically distinct from its northern counterparts and is typically smaller, with individuals often growing to only 6-8 inches long.
• Habitat: They live in cold, clear, spring-fed headwater streams at high elevations, often in remote areas.
• Appearance: They have unique patterns and vibrant colors, which become even more striking in the fall.
• Role in ecosystem: They are considered a keystone species and a bellwether for the health of their stream ecosystems, as they are very sensitive to pollution and temperature changes.

Dear Auntie HiC,

Our favorite Vet Tech recently got a new tattoo (similar to this) to honor her 2 kitties.

Since Mom doesn’t have any tattoos, & has no desire to get any, we recreated Yin Yang Kitties for her.

She said our positioning wasn’t

purr-fect, but close enough! 😹

Dearest Kat and Rocky

Your Vet tech was very brave to be able to sit still for all of the lovely Yin Yang tattoo to honor her kitties. 

PURRsonally I like your version and no ouchies. 

I don't really mind getting vaccines and injections but I cannot imagine I'd be able to sit still that long

Lovingly Auntie HiC

❤️ Kat & Rocky

We recently ordered take out from OutBack Steakhouse.  This fun sticker was on our take out back

In case the print is too small it reads

"If your order wasn't KANGARIFFIC, be sure to give us a BOOMER-RING"

Our meal was PURRFECT as was this fun label

Happy Tuesday with Kat

I’m a huge fan of Simon’s Cat cartoons!  For those of you who are unfamiliar, Simon's Cat is a British animated web and book series written by Simon Tofield. It features a fat, hungry white cat who uses various tactics to get his owner to feed him.

He recently shared some valuable suggestions to enhance your mental well-being. These tips are not limited to cats; they are equally beneficial for all of us.  😻

Here’s a hilarious Simon’s Cat video for you to enjoy! 😹

Dearest Cali OMCs OMCs Simon's video is hilarious...for anyone not in the path 

of his biscuit making murder mittens.  I love how he pulled up the ear and let it snap back. The ending of the video is so CAT LIKE...innocent as the newborn babe!

Hugs and love 

Auntie HiC
