Another from vallhallow!
Spending the afternoon glued to my bedroom window while I wait for this stray cat to wander into my trap. I don’t know if I’ll catch this one since I haven’t seen it in almost a month, but the spay/neuter clinic is slammed these days so it took me that long to get an appointment. Fingers crossed the smelly fish does its job.
While I’m waiting, tea sounded like a wonderful idea for an idle afternoon. James made me a cup so I wouldn’t have to leave my post. I asked him to pick from some of vallhallow’s samples on top of the tea cabinet and he chose this one. It smells really good before steeping, almost fruity? After, it’s definitely reminiscent of a green tea in both color and flavor. It’s just a touch bitter but not terribly so, and it has a remarkable buttery flavor. It also feels sort of thick on the tongue. Very unique. Ultimately, I’m not a big fan of that green tea flavor so I wouldn’t purchase this one. I do think I’ll enjoy the sample I have though.
Flavors: Bitter, Butter, Fruity, Green

So you’ll find this interesting. In Greece everyone treats strays like pets. They leave water dishes and food out all over. It’s an interesting concept but also a little cringe worthy because many of the strays walking around were covered in fleas and who knows what…
I love that there are communities that do this, but I also think part of being a responsible caregiver is making sure the cats are taken care of re: fleas, vaccines, spay/neuter, etc. I know money can be an obstacle though for a lot of people so I try to understand where they’re coming from. It can definitely be frustrating though. I would honestly be happy if my neighbors would ignore me at this point, instead of actively pushing against me every time I find a new cat. Some are supportive, but I was shocked at how many were vehemently against me trapping these cats. I think a lot of it comes from a place of ignorance, but then they won’t even listen when you try to gently educate.
Anyway, I’ll step down from my soapbox now. But happy news – I caught the cat last night! I’ll bring him home tomorrow morning and then he can go back to scowling at me from a distance. :)
I think it’s awesome that you do that!!! And I def understand how frustrating that is. I say more power to you! I’m allergic to cats so its a no go for me but I still think theyre cute
Man, I don’t think I’ve ordered from Verdant in like a decade, I should consider that, I remember pretty much loving everything I tried. Good luck with the kitty!
