She's getting so good at stepping with her brace on!

[hellenhighwater]

My brother had lost the right to mock my deeply unwise vending machine purchase because he's spending his weekend driving to Iowa to buy a 1954 Cadillac limousine.

He doesn't have an explanation for this other than the fact that it's cool. And honestly, that's a pretty compelling argument

[hellenhighwater]

Oh good, he's named it.

[hellenhighwater]

He got her and she's gargantuan

[hellenhighwater]

THE BIG is home!!

[hellenhighwater]

Update: brother says: tell your internet people- I’ve been making the car shiny and it is COOL.

He's correct. This is excellent.

[hellenhighwater]

I left my brother unattended he traded the little corvair next to THE BIG for this thing. I think he's building an armada

He is casting spell of car repair on it, I think.

[hellenhighwater]

Brother has been left unattended and has gotten himself a 1970 Cadillac DeVille.

And now it just needs a plate!

Other options are LONNNG and LOMMMG.

it should definitely be

LOMG

LONNNG

LOMMMG

Okay. I have made an apron. Did I accidentally leave an iron on overnight and not realize until 10 am the next day at work and then ran home from the office to turn it off ( no less than three people on my walk home asked why the heck I wasn't at work, all wanted updates on the iron situation) and only just finished it after getting totally sidetracked making pizza? Maybe.

Vice is warming up to the kittens... very slowly.

[hellenhighwater]

You have to understand that when I first got foster kittens, Vice was actively trying to fight them. It was embarrasing. Sir, you're a grown man and that is an infant.

But this is just a token warning hiss! He's barely chaging body language; this is just a hefty No Thank You from him. Still progress!

Vice and the kitten he said he didn't want

Based on the fit of her harness, Mayhem looks quite small! How much does she weigh?

a little less than 7 lbs!

Mal and Vice are 10-12 lbs, for scale.

I saw another post about this that I now can't find to reblog, but there's a wave of mobile ads that are autoplaying audio. This violates tumblr's ad policy and you SHOULD report them. Hopefully enough of us will do so to get rid of them entirely.

Hit the meatball menu in the top corner next to the X, and report for autoplaying audio.

[hellenhighwater]

Well those are allllmost done

[codebreakerblue]

question. why do you have 7 featureless grey monoliths in your driveway

[hellenhighwater]

There's eight actually but the last one is still in the garage

[hellenhighwater]

They're actually a really dark purple

[fishofthewoods]

question. why do you have seven featureless really dark purple monoliths in your driveway and an eighth in the garage

[hellenhighwater]

Some of them do have features though. There's holes and hinges and stuff, so I can put secrets in em

...ah.

The only one of them that knows how to behave outside is Malice.

What weirdos.

[hellenhighwater]

Well I've spent the last three hours using leather salvaged from the upholstery of my aunt's couch to make Mayhem a custom harness. Mayhem gets it because I don't know what I'm doing and is the most tolerant of fitting, out of the three cats. Lots of experimental sewing and foiling and patterns!

[hellenhighwater]

I shaved a liiiiittle bit of extra material off around the collar, but as you can tell, it's quite soft and she's just got a lot of fluff.

In the 30 minutes that Mayhem has been home from physical therapy, she's tried to fight Vice though the cat flap and has taken down a houseplant. Still got it.

[hellenhighwater]

This whole project was heavily inspired by the work of Lina Shamoon/ Mirrors by Lina (website here, check out her very cool and much higher quality work). My spin on things is definitely not made as well as her stuff, but I'm still loving the effect.

[hellenhighwater]

This thing is still bringing me a great deal of joy. It's usually the last thing I see on my way out of the house in the morning and it's very good.

[hellenhighwater]

Good morning time for stepping!

One of Mayhem's biggest problems post-surgical complications has been a lack of nervous response in her toes, which has caused her to step over them, standing on her knuckles instead of on her flat foot. Physical therapy has been an effort to get her to step properly and actually use that leg.

[hellenhighwater]

Don't mind if I do
