We had a wonderful dinner last night for our vacation. I consider myself lucky since I am an adventurous eater. Since we are foodies we opted for an experience where you sit at a bar next to the kitchen and are able to talk to the chiefs and get to try some special stuff. We had grilled oysters with chorizo butter, smoked tuna dip, blue fin krudo, Iberian ham, and my fisherman's stew. This was a special treat because we are fans of the chief and have been to his previous venues. We so excited when we found out he opened a seafood place.

HELLO I AM SHOUTING BECAUSE I'M HAPPY

FINALLY GOOD NEWS

MY STEPBROTHER'S CAT HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!!!!

Okay that's out of the way. This was the cat that went missing 29 days ago because his fucking fiancee let the cat out. Wasn't sure if outside or not.

Turns out inside the entire time, sneaking food. The other 3 cats? Have no shits this 4th cat appeared.

Mother finally saw her today stealing some of mother's cat's special food. She's fine. She's alive.

I'm still so angry at the fiancee but less because it means the baby wasn't out in the freezing snow and ice.

Wonder what cat the neighbor saw though. Feel bad for those cats. :<

Everything else is very bad but at least. The cat is safe.

Oh thank goodness! Cat was probably fine just avoiding people.

I think she had been a feral before so hiding was like. Her superpower.
