Pixel and Miso have negotiated a sharing agreement for the warmest point in our house.

Please wish Minion, our fluffiest and most neurotic cat, a happy birthday.

He is 9 years old today. (But still acts like a baby.)

One of my colleagues AI-generated this image of me and... checks out, I guess?

I do not dare disturb her.

Pixel enjoys a good cardboard box even if it isn’t open.

Hope everyone is enjoying a lazy #caturday.

Today was a successful day: saw (and pet!) no less than 14 #cats.

Here is just one of them.

Really love how this week's email from my CSA starts off with a Pride message about resistance and then immediately pivots into talking about the joys of garlic scapes.

Recently had the fountain in our garden repaired; the inspector has now proclaimed it back in service

@dan happy birthday Min! You are, indeed, babby.
@dan Aww — a very happy birthday to Minion!
@dan Minion is the second Mastodon pet I learned I share a birthday with today. That and Nunavut.
@dan happy birthday MINION
@dan happy birthday min hope u'll come out next time i show my face
@atsuzaki @dan ooo maybe you can house sit for us on our next vacation! We can pay for the train ticket and expenses!!
@atsuzaki @dan we’ve come to the conclusion that either we can’t leave our house or we need at least two people to housesit because it’s impossible for one person to wrangle all four of our cats.
@dan Awwww! Happy birthday good sir!
@dan Happy Birthday, Minion!
@dan Happy Birthday Minion! 🥳😺
