Significant Otter has approved my plan of getting a kitty for me as a therapy pet. 
I'm overwhelmed with joy.
Also, I totally need to apply some elbow grease, and get the household kittyproofed against accidents and feline hijinks, which means disassembling and throwing away a load of stuff we no longer use and clearing space and oh, saving money. 'Cause we're gonna get a Bengal. Why? Because I need to show my commitment to this, which also means I have to find motivation to find some paid work because money won't come out of nowhere for it.
So... in six months, maybe? Ten? Unsure -- depends on how much local breeder wants for pet Bengals (spayed, not used in breeding).

Still alive, amazingly enough
2024 has started on a wrong foot, I should say. At the end of November 2023, I finally caught Covid-19 despite all the precautions I have taken. I was moderately flattened to bed, and I'm still having lingering effects from two and half week bout it took to start testing not-positive. Easily fatigued, sore throat. I'm pissed off that I caught it, because our city messed up the vaccination program and now I can't get the booster vaccine until three months later and right now variants seem to be spawning furiously. I was supposed to have kittens, with calculated time being New Year's Eve. Wow! What a timing! Unfortunately, Lobsang pulled Oscar-worthy performance of false pregnancy. She had pink nips! She had even milky dots in them! She was affectionate and purring and craving for tummy-rubs (all of those are no-no in her usual mode of behavior). She even tried to give birth three times, with some definite mess involved! Third time was when I and the breeder called false pregnancy and
Beep boop, I still exist!
Sooo, it turns out that now I have 4 cats, two adults and two cattens. Mort and Lobsang are here to stay; Lobsang will continue the line, Carisma is now spayed, and Mort is staying because nobody wants a broken kitten 😭 (Shush! She's not broken! She's the most lovable lil' snugglefluff!). Didi continues being Didi. Both kittens are absolutely crazy about getting wet -- that is, they WILL accompany their hoomins to shower and sauna and both will run under shower water, and Lobsang is especially delighted about being soaking wet and running around like a miniature sabretooth cat in a jungle of her imagination. I'm kinda stuck with my art thing (and now that I said that, all of the sudden I have an idea 😮). I'm going to try and see if I can waken up 3D urge after doing some painting and embroidery in real life. I'll probably have to do some Lootmas cards and such as well. Other future prospects include "I need to bake a turkey, and figure out what kind of stuffing I want to do for it".
KITTENS!
So, Carisma's final litter of kittens is here. You can see the adorable bebs in their Twitter. https://twitter.com/DidiCarisma/ You can also read what happened, but please heed content notes, they are there for a very good reason.
2020 sure was a thing, huh
Right! I have survived 2020 mostly unscathed. There was a massive building complex renovation, which meant evacuating for three weeks to AirBnB place: me, Otter, both cats, while renovation team was hammering our apartment into shape. Basically everything except walls, ceiling and windows was swapped to something new and shiny and even those got replaced in bathroom and sauna. I have documented most of this in my kittytwitter account; everything started in February, mostly with outdoors repairs, as our building (out of three) was the last one to get apartment stuff done. In August, my kitties were gifted extra space! Our August and September was furious packing up of our stuff and both cats figured out that something must be afoot. That was confirmed when both of them got scooped into their own carriers and packed into car and hauled to a strange new place. Oh noes! Actually, they kind of liked it. It was a really compact (read: kinda small, like you have no idea) place, and they

I don't know if one is in your area, but you might try a rescue, also. Many of the rescue/shelter groups out here survive by being able to connect with more specialized rescues--who provide a way for someone hunting for a specific breed or type to find one.
