Hello Amanda. Has it been a good day so far? Breakfast looked wonderful.
Yes it's been a good day a little more pain today than yesterday but its bearable. I hope your day has gone well also?
 
Love the way the starfish always look like they are drunk and just passed out wherever they felt like. 😆
I just put a rock in that had sponge on it as they have eradicated all the sponge I had . This is how he lays on his food lol !! 😝

For anyone who is interested:

I saw all the talk about heaters, power failures and pump failures.

Here is a product I have used on my 300 gallon RO tank. It could be a good and semi-inexpensive solution for determining a pump failure. The company also makes other products that could be used for the hobby.

Have you used the one with the float? I have been wondering how much light needs to be on for the non-contact one to work. Thoughts?
 
Breed. They combine Persian with Siamese and the cat does nothing. Goes limp when you pick it up like a ragdoll. Doesn’t fight you.

I read that they were originally bred in 1965, or close about, from a farm cat and Siamese cat. And a neighbor started to see potential in it due to the passive nature and looks of the kittens. I will have to see if I can find that again. That has been at least 10 years. I think the neighbor was a geneticist or some such occupation.
 
I do admit that she is very docile. But she will fight you. I clip our Sara's nails. She can even bite if she feels threatened. Mainly she is chill and the best cat we have ever had. Still a cat though. Still catches mice and birds. I know she shouldn't go outside. We need our dog door though. And she learned what it was in a matter of minutes.

Seems there is lots of myth and some truth in the beginnings of these beautiful cats. They do suggest not allowing them to go outside. I can't bring myself to tell Sara she has to stay inside. At least she rarely leaves our yard but to go next door. They have a boy who plays with her.

No complaints here! It's a little rainy, so no baseball practice today. So im listening to some 60s psych music and over feeding my tank this evening lol

Great way to spend the evening in my opinion!

Yes, I have and it was hooked up outside.
 
I have missed a lot here over the last couple of days. Been busy with other things.

Hope everyone is keeping it classy.
 
I just love ragdoll cats. They think they own you and everything you have.

My husbands looks a lot like yours. They spend every morning together.
I’ve never heard of Ragdoll cats ! Amazing things we learn .
