Our beloved Golden Rottie, Udo, was euthanized last weekend. In honor of him and his adopted brothers who went before, Harpy and I are tallying up a donation pool for the Stephens County Humane Society, where they all came from! We're counting for the whole month of July! We're already over $500 in!

When you hear a ruckus and go to investigate and find a murdered catnip mouse on the floor and pick it up only to realize you are no longer alone... #tortie

When you're trying to get a little server work done before a stream, but the Queen refuses to lift her blockade without a tithe of one (1) Salmon Packet:

Jack the space shipping container kitten continues to grow, but he refuses to abandon his favorite sleeping spot: being sandwiched between Harpy's arm and something else. Our lil guy is approaching 6 months old and 7lbs. He's going to be a moose. #void #kitten

The danger of photographing Jack: a tale in two parts. There is no third picture because he stole my phone.

Merry Christmas from Lanids and Harpy. <3

Yeah, Jack and Oscar have bonded. Kind of fitting, considering Oscar was raised by a void, and now he gets to raise one himself. We're doomed.

I can't even with this creature. He's been sleeping like this for over an hour. #kitten #blackcats #void

Jack has made himself quite at home, it seems. #blackcats #void #kitten

Found under a shipping container at a rocket factory. His rescuer couldn't keep him, so she reached out to other folks at work and my wife saw his little face and answered. Of course, he stuck to *me.* Behold, the LBC (little black cat, actual name pending discovery), 8 hours after he came home:

Black kitten sleeping upside down while wedged between a sofa arm and a man's side.

There were a lot of things I didn't like about the time we lived in Oklahoma. But I LOVED bathing our house in murder lights and strewing demonic pumpkins around for Halloween to give my neighbors something to bitch about at church.
