#cats of kimberley

[hwy95eh]

Partly because we’re babysitting the farm kittens we brought back for our friend @datinggreatlywithyvonne to turn into #CatsOfKimberley + #mountowncats this weekend, and partly because someone commented on my previous post that they prefer when I don’t talk openly about politics on social media (even during #localareaelectionseason), I figured I would do a timeline cleanse and share an update on a local feline situation:

Firstly, the kittens are still cute, if not somehow cuter, than when we last saw them (which wasn’t that long ago, but oh how they grow). And they are the kind of cuddly that you don’t always get with a cat, which is heart-meltingly nice at times.

Speaking of cats that prefer a less cuddly existence, big sister cat-in-law Maple (pic3) is aware of the new kittens, but she currently prefers to keep her eye on them from a safe distance and takes her cuddles separately (in her preferred spots).

The kittens’ official names may still be unofficial, but the striped female tends to get called “Cleopatra” (or “Cleo” for short, pic2) and the little black guy gets called a mix of “Homer” and “Bear” (or sometimes “little bear”… because he looks like a little bear, pic4).

In closing, cheers to the people who don’t mind that every now & again I attempt to figure out how I feel about stuff that effect all of our lives (not just mine) by putting things down on digital paper and then sharing it freely with whoever wants to check those things out (or not check those things out, which is most people tbf) — whether that be on my social media accounts like this or on other parts of the internet 🍻

I try not to bother much with social media “stats” (the Meta algorithms also don’t like that I sometimes share subjective political opinions), but I do know that I lost some followers and gained some followers over the last couple months of posting, so… thank you / I’m sorry / good b’y 🍻

I know that at least two Jellylorums were also Christines in "Phantom" (Marni Raab and Sara Jean Ford)--would you happen to know who some of the others were?

Are you looking specifically for Jellylorums that were previously Christines, or more like the general Phantom - CATS or CATS - Phantom pipeline? I can give you a decent list of both, since we'd be atom smashing two hyperfixations together.

Format: NAME OF PERFORMER - Role in Phantom (Role in Cats)

Sorted by part played in PotO - I won't be naming all locations of productions these individuals were in for the sake of some kind of brevity. Since you asked mainly for Jellylorums who have been Christine, I have taken the liberty to BOLD them for easy reference.

(Note that this is not an extensive list - just a bulky one - I was already getting too long in the tooth haha)

xnoraxcarpenterx asked: “it’s not your job to protect me.”

I was tired. Eyes heavy, body barely holding enough energy within it to keep my fingers moving. How long had it been since this had all begun? At the very least it had been two nights since Kim barely survived by the skin of her teeth. A fuse blew in Thomas’s garage, igniting a fuel leak from his police vehicle, maintenance undetected from a gunshot in a police shootout (the same shootout that would've killed him without Kimberly throwing herself into danger like the dumbass she was). Luckily, Clear had been forged into a far more diligent human than whatever piss poor tool had checked the car over for defects after the shooting. She caught the leak just in time to get Kim out of the house before it erupted in flames. And thus Death’s list started back at the top, skipping over the already scratched out names of Evan Lewis and Tim Carpenter, & landing on Nora for the umpteenth time. “How many times do I gotta tell you? So long as my name is after yours on this stupid list, yes, like it or not, it IS my job to protect you.”

But there was more to it than that, wasn’t there?

Shit, theoretically, if I was truly in this for myself, then wouldn’t it make more sense to protect Thomas? Wouldn’t it have made more sense for me to protect Rory? Rest in peace. The more names between Death & Myself, the better, no? Even if I failed to protect Rory, I’d then be able to protect Eugene, then Thomas, then Kimberley. And then finally Nora if, and only if, all else failed. I’d have as many lives as a cat. Invincible so long as those people avoided Death themselves. But in reality… That had nothing to do with it. Hell, the irony of the whole idea? Even if I kept Nora alive from whatever sick plan Death next concocts, He’d just end up skipping her and coming after me. So what the Hell was I even doing all this for? Well… “Look, I’m fine, I have emails to answer anyway, so I might as well stay up and keep an eye on you… You’d have done the same for Tim, right?” A sore spot? Maybe, but I didn’t mean to pry. I meant it with my whole heart. And I didn’t mean much of anything to anyone these days. Not even myself. I measured my own self-worth by the burgeoning success of my career. By the reflection of pride in my own dad’s eyes. Emotions were hard for me. The truth was? This was the only way I knew how to communicate what I was feeling inside. “Just leave it okay? I’m okay. I’m okay…”

Everyone knows and loves thorny devils (Moloch horridus), spines and all, but I think most people are unaware of their peculiar and highly elusive sister species, the chameleon dragon (Chelosania brunnea).

(Image credit: The Reptile Database)

Named after their laterally compressed body, extendable dewlap and funnel-like eyes that give them some resemblance to the true chameleons of Afro-Eurasia, the chameleon dragon occurs widely in the monsoonal savanna woodlands of northern Australia in the Kimberley and Top End (as well as a tiny part of north-western Queensland). They are quite rarely observed and little is currently known about their ecology or behaviour, but this is likely due to their highly arboreal nature and they may actually be more common than records suggest.

At first glace, the chameleon dragon doesn't share a great deal of resemblance to the thorny devil, but some similarities begin to appear on closer examination. One of the most obvious links is their diet - thorny devils are well known for being specialised for feeding on small black ants, and the chameleon dragon, despite its drastically different appearance and lifestyle, appears to have a similar diet. While a lot less is known about the diet of chameleon dragons, they may also be ant specialists and have been recorded feeding on green ants (Oecophylla smaragdina), a species that is particularly common in the treetops they inhabit.

(Image credit: Colin Trainor & Gunter Maywald)

As a matter of fact, genetics indicate that the thorny devil and chameleon dragon are not only each other's closest living relatives, but also that they form their own distinct clade amongst Australian dryland agamids. The majority of Australian dragons are part of a single evolutionary radiation that diversified as the continent began to dry out in the mid-Miocene, with most exceptions being basal wet forest genera like forest dragons (Lophosaurus) and the Australian water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii). However, the thorny devil and chameleon dragon appear to be the only living members of a more ancient, basal agamid lineage that colonised dry environments independently of the recent large radiation.

As a testament to how much we still have to learn about this fascinating species, it was only in 2020 that a study (linked in the image credit below) found significant sexual dimorphism in regards to colour in chameleon dragons, with males being grey while females are yellow. This same study also published the first evidence of the species using tree hollows and the nests of arboreal termites as shelter sites. Due to the lack of data they are currently considered Data Deficient by the IUCN, but they may be threatened by altered fire regimes and feral cats.

Maple just wanted to remind everyone that it might not be a bad idea to remember to soak up this lovely autumn sunshine while it’s still shining so warmly… whatever your preferred method of sunshine intake happens to be this time of day/year 🍻 . . .

Hello! How are you dear? I'd like to nicely ask 🍪✨🔮 for the ask game entitled "ASK GAME" C;

Of course!

🍪 If you were a cookie, what kind would you be?

So, in Ireland, a cookie specifically refers to a chocolate chip cookie (like the emoji). But I'm gonna say I would be a Kimberley, because they're a little bit spicy and a little bit squishy.

✨ Do you have any nicknames?

So, my real name is really hard to make nicknames out of, so I never had any nicknames growing up, but my wife has me in her phone as Nermal, the annoying cute cat from Garfield. I don't know what that says about me, honestly 😅

🔮 What’s your dream job?

This is kind of a complicated question for me (and maybe this is too deep for a tumblr ask 😅) but I used to work in my dream job doing molecular biology. The job part was great but my boss was a nightmare and a bully and I ended up walking away and changing careers completely because I was traumatised af.

And now I work a "boring" office job but with people who respect and appreciate me as a human being and I fucking love it. So I think I actually have my dream job.

I'm at a stage in my life where I don't feel the need to achieve "greatness" with my work. I get fulfilment from other aspects of my life, like my family, friends, pets and hobbies, and if I'm happy going to work every day and it pays the bills then I consider myself extremely lucky indeed 😊
