News from the Kat Kingdom at Root Simple
Meet Buck. Warning: Shameless, meandering cat narrative ahead. If you don’t like cats, all you can do at this point is turn away and sigh. The big news here is that we’ve been suckered into taking another kitten–but there will be no more! We will not turn into crazy cat collectors. As it is, three cats in this tiny house is ridiculous. They’re always everywhere and always staring at you, or tripping you, or sit...
Support Locally Sourced Kittens
...rk days are over. These authentic HaFo SaFo street kitties (HaFo SaFo is a neighborhood in LA, and a blog) are now healthy, happy, darn cute and ready for permanent homes. They are well socialized to humans, as well as other cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, ducks and turtles. The kittens are siblings.

We like this: Shovelgloving
cute cats shamelessly stolen from Shovelglove homepage Mrs. Homegrown here: Just a note to point you to a site rec’d by one of our commenters in our last post.

...ine the strainer with cheese cloth or muslin. Strain the oil into a fresh, clean jar. Pour off the oil first, then press the dried matter to squeeze out the remaining oil as best you can. You’ll never get it all back. Label it Make sure you label it with the type of oil and the date it was made. Believe me, even if you only make one jar, you’ll forget what it is and when you made it, and a year later you’ll be standing at yo...
Teflon Coated Light Bulbs Deadly to Chickens
...to airborne toxins. I can’t help but wonder about the effect of these fumes on humans too. Several years ago, Dupont was unsuccessfully sued over the toxicity of Teflon in cookware. Sylvania, apparently, has a warning label on their Teflon coated bulbs, “WARNING: This product contains PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene–”Teflon” is a brand name). When heated, it creates fumes potentially fatal to confined birds.” G...

...rise of gluten free products. Gluten intolerance is a problem for many people. One out of 131 people have Celiac diseases and a great many more probably have some sort of wheat allergy.
