Meet Ms. Mouser
Since Meta is suppressing all my non-video posts, have a video from my daily life! This is Ms. Mouser, a neighborhood cat who comes by lately for food. I want to pet her more than anything, but she is a boundary queen and is very not interested. “Just put the food down and leave me…
