• she/her

My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.


Every year, our cat eats the (very flexible and easily passed) artificial tree leaves. We try scaring her off, we try shooing her, we try bitter apple/citrus (which it turns out she loves and preferentially ate of those branches), etc, without great results. Last year they got stuck in her teeth, she refused to let us remove them, and we had to go to the emergency vet to get them out. (They were very kind and got us in quickly after hearing her futile efforts to get them out herself.)

THIS year we bought a metal ornament tree. We'll fully decorate it later this week but wanted to get it set up. The cat understands that this is supposed to be the Tree with Forbidden Leaves, but is a bit confused by it all. She's making a go at eating it anyway.
