Oliver is a ridiculous baby boy

A long-haired male tuxedo cat is flat on his back on the floor, with his head tilted back to expose his chin and throat. All four paws are curled. He'll even fall asleep in this position.

LMAO it's not even that, they're claiming there's no sex or anything in the story at all and Grok is flipping out over... a character walking into a family dinner.

Screenshot reading: "We’re literally 80 chapters in on a story and I keep getting weird prompts like this, 80 chapters and not one sex scene, not even the explicit mention of anything sexual, that’s the response I got to having a character walking into a formal family dinner, like what? Excuse me? I told it it was being ridiculous and it said you’re right, and edited the chapter and generated anyways.
I swapped it to 5.3 and it was fine for a while then the app suddenly took away the option to change models, they’re completely gone."

Oliver (left) desperately wants Molly (right) to cuddle and play with him, but she's having none of it.

A long-haired tuxedo cat is sprawled belly-up in front of an open door, with his paws curled in. An orange tabby and white cat is curled up on the other end of the doorway. There's barely a foot in between them.

In the last few days before I said goodbye to him, Cecil couldn't eat any solid food (kibble or canned), so I gave him all the churus he wanted.

A tuxedo cat is sitting in a smallish cardboard box. Larger and smaller boxes, and several cat toys, are scattered on the floor.

Oliver is obsessed whenever I turn it on

A long-haired tuxedo kitty perches right in front of a flat-screen TV and is patting the screen, trying to get the chipmunk that's stuffing its cheeks with seeds in the screen.

Nope, it's still wrong. Here's a screenshot I just took of the actual dedication in my ebook version:

And now, the obligatory cat tax

An orange and white cat is deeply slumped in a cardboard box. She's barely half awake.

Looks like the Post Office is back to its Trump-era bullshittery. I live in NJ, so the package should never have left the state!

Screenshot of a package's tracking updates. It started in Lodi, NJ, went to Teterboro, then Kearny, then Iowa(???), where it arrived at Des Moines, departed, arrived again, and departed again.

Screenshot of a package's tracking updates, part 2. It starts with three indeterminate "In transit" updates, then arrived at Jersey City, departed, then arrived at and departed from Kearny (again). It's still in transit.

This is Molly, enjoying cardboard and paper bags, moments before she attacked her own tail

An orange tabby and white cat is sprawled on a purple cardboard box and several small paper bags from the pharmacy. She's looking intently at the bag beyond her foot, but will shortly turn slightly and attack her own tail.

Here's Cecil in the middle of a grooming session

A tuxedo cat is caught mid-groom in an awkward, one-hind-leg-up pose. He's on a human bed with quilt and pillows.

Cecil has a bigger than usual blep right now, due to being drugged up for a vet visit earlier this afternoon.

A male tuxedo cat sits on light gray carpet and looks up directly into the camera above him. Part of his pink tongue is sticking out in a good blep.

Here are Cecil and Molly (left and right), who hope you get better soon so they can get back to watching the squirrel outside that's scolding them loudly.

A tuxedo cat and an orange and white tabby are intently looking out a window; unseen, a squirrel is scolding them outside.

Well, okay, since you insist! The tuxedo gent is Cecil and the ginger tabby is Molly.

A tuxedo cat is lounging on a colorful quilt amd leaning against a small pillow. His legs are sprawled apart and he was definitely not grooming himself 5 seconds ago.

An orange and white tabby cat is lying on a hardwood floor rabbit-kicking a stuffed pickle. Her tail is slightly blurry due to motion, and that pickle would be so dead if it were an animal.

This big boy had to get ear drops twice a day and ear cleaning fluid every other day for 2 1/2 weeks. He HATED it, to the point where he'd try to hide when it was time to get it. But at least he doesn't have ear infections in both ears anymore!

A large male tuxedo cat is comfortably curled up on the scale at the vet's office. He's alertly looking up and just to the left of the camera.
