Finally got a decent picture of Hero post-haircut, although you can't see her fluffy boots and tail pom.

She is hanging out with our new friend designed by Things By Diana whose art I adore. Sadly her primary social media still appears to be Twitter. I may have to start using Instagram to follow artists and not just One Chinese Actor.

Longboi came with a pride flag cape which has been removed so the stuffed Harvest Moon pig at my office can wear it.

I find I don't really feel the need to talk about my sexuality now that my close male friends are all married. This is I suspect a privilege of being almost forty, not traditionally attractive, and fat, as opposed to being in my teens and early twenties, not traditionally attractive, fat, and close friends with a couple single dudes.

Hero is very taken with Longboi.

Cat Day? Cat Day. Whimsy is the Marilyn Monroe of dogs but please take a moment to appreciate her older siblings.

Tir, who was found as a kitten on a golf course, named Pepsi at the shelter, and adopted by me when he walked up my arm and bit the friend who'd driven me to the shelter.

Lord Ivan the World's Loudest Cat, who was found by me as a kitten under a car in snowy March when he woke me up with the most horrific, loud meowing I have heard in my life.

Hero, the Queen, who made her way to me in a shoebox after being thrown out of a car window at 4 weeks old near a friend's place of work.

This is Hero. She doesn't like being photographed at the best of times and she hates this.
