Did the spell…WORK?!
Inktober is an artist challenge to draw in ink daily in October. This year, I’m drawing a panel a day for a new story. Be sure to read the first 3 days here. And now, Days 4 through 10…
I’m having SO MUCH FUN drawing this story! I hope you like it.
Thank you for reading.

In this week’s installment of Adventures in Moving, I’ll be talking about…cats.
I have 2 cats, Scarlet and Bree Bree. Both will be 14 years old in May (next month!). In the times they have been in my family, they’ve moved 4 times.
The first move happened when they were kittens, going from my neighbor’s house to ours.
Second, from our old family home to our new home.
Third, when they lived with my younger sister for a while.
And fourth, when they moved back into my home.
When I DO finally get an apartment and move, that will be their fifth move in their life.
Like I mentioned before, they’re reaching 14 years old. They are, by all accounts, cranky old ladies. I’m not sure how well they will handle this next move, especially since this one will be across the state.
I WILL say – Scarlet has surprised me. I had to take her to see the vet last week, which meant putting her in a carrier. For the first time in nearly 4 years.
She handled it better than I expected.
Of course she trembled. But I gave her treats and pets. And she didn’t hiss or growl while in the carrier.
(Reacting to the vet is a different story).
This response to the carrier has me hopeful, though. Hopeful that the move will be easier than anticipated. I expected a lot of growling and hissing and I didn’t get that from Scarlet.
Bree Bree, on the other hand…
Well, I have to take her to the vet as well, so we’ll see how THAT goes.
That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
I know I said I would be ok. That I didn’t need anything. That if you had the energy and funds to spare, share that with other artists in need. (Which, if you have helped other artists, thank you.) But now, I’m asking for help.
This is Scarlet. She and Bree-Bree are keeping me company during this weird time we’re all in. Both of the girls will be 14 years old on May 16. Which is impressive for cats!
Scarlet is a fussy princess. She knows she’s pretty. She’s VERY mouthy. You can have full conversations with this cat. She’s appeared quite a few times in livestreams over the past month, because she wants people to give her attention…on her terms.
I am her human. She doesn’t really tolerate much of anybody else. She will sniff you, and she will meow at you. But you pet her on HER time. When she does want love, though, she can be incredibly sweet.
Sadly, she’s been losing weight and vomiting. I took her to the vet this past Tuesday for a physical, and the vet said there’s muscle deterioration around her hips. The vet was unable to get a blood sample, so they told me to bring Scarlet back in for a round of testing today. They think there may be some hyperthyroid issues.
Now, financially, I prepared for a lot of things… but I did not prepare for vet bills like I should have. That’s on me. Moving forward I will do better.
For the next two weeks, I’m running a sale on commissions if you are so interested. I’m offering these discounted rates if you’d like to jump in on this sale:
These prices are PER character (or person, or animal if you wanted a pet portrait). More info on the Get a Commission page if you’d like to get a commission.
If this is a bit much, I have an online store with comics, buttons, stickers, and original art.
Need something more unique? Well, you can also support me on Ko-Fi if you would like…
Or you can just give a donation through Ko-Fi with no strings attached.
I accept PayPal (just specify that it’s a gift to friends to avoid extra charges). And I also accept Venmo ($KelciDCrawford) and the Cash App.
I don’t want you stressing out just because I planned poorly. Just share this post with folks whom you think could help. Shares help a LOT.
That’s all for now. Thank you for your help, however you give it.
You. Are. Awesome.
