Ozymandias, King of Kings, is one year old today.
He successfully overcame FIP to become the luxuriantly-furred and mighty hunter that he is today, and we are very proud of him.

Happy Birthday, Ozzy!

I don't know quite how to explain this and it's more obvious when you see her move but I've never known a cat give off such strong "human trapped in a cat's body" vibes.

Talking of (bob)cats, my good friend and teammate's cat Sage has been going through hell lately.

The family opened up a GoFundMe page because they need help paying the mountainous vet bills. It would mean the world to me if you could help them out!
