@cstross What is the name of this delightful menace? And who spilled their cold pumpkin latte all over their fur?

@cstross
One of my cats recently discovered the top of the door as a new perching spot, along with the top of the shower door.

Thank you for the cat tax.

I think she has a similar vibe to my cat, #PicaTheCat
Especially in that last photo.

Show threadCharlie StrossJan 25
@futurebird Depends: is Pica evil? Evil enough to see you reading in the chair, jump on the arm, and then stab or nip you until you move out so she can occupy it for 10 minutes until she gets bored with their victory and wanders off?
Show threadmyrmepropagandistJan 25

@cstross

"is Pica evil?"

She has a team of lawyers and issues press statements about how her dinner was late?

@cstross

I love that we just have "evil cats" and it's fine. In fact, it's wonderful.

@futurebird @cstross Dog owners are all: "This is the Baron Tristram Mr Floppy Tail, and he loves long walks, fetching his stick, and sleeping next to me on cold nights."

Cat owners, on the other hand: "What? Oh, yeah, that's Bob. He's an arsehole."

Aww, pushkas!

For similar reasons I just spent the last two hours watching a Studio Ghibli film (Castle in the Sky) rather than doom-scrolling and reacting.
