This is Kiki a.k.a. Bitsy, and basically, she's kbitty. I adopted her just about a month ago!

Here are some answers to questions that may be frequently asked!

Gee! How come she gets two names? Both worked well! I try to make up different stories behind her names each time I'm asked about them.
Why's she named Bitsy? She's named after the Bitsy game engine (https://www.bitsy.org/, @bitsy) by Adam Ledoux (@ldx), which happens to have a cat as its mascot!

However, please note: the Bitsy game engine cat mascot is not the same as the cat pictured here, who is also named Bitsy. For one, Bitsy the cat is not old enough to run the @bitsy Cohost account. she is not even one year old.

Why's she named Bitsy again? She is just a smöl kbitsy
Why's she named Kiki? I started with a list of roughly 150 possible names gathered from friends and websites; after days of narrowing it down (and consultations with the cat herself), Kiki was one of the top two!

Why's she kbitsy? Ah! I like to call her that because of these edited Dungeon Meshi panels: Two edited Dungeon Meshi panels. Izutsumi is perched on a railing and asks 'im kbity?' Chillchuck says 'you are kbity!' Close-up on Izutsumi, astonished and confused: she asks, 'how'
What's going on with her right eye? Bitsy a.k.a. Kiki is a rescue cat! She has a cataract in her right eye from when she was a stray (she had an eye infection; don't worry, it was treated right after she was rescued)!
