I don’t even know that most of the time.

He’s so cute and so friendly too. Ordinarily cats take a long time to warm up to their new homes, but not this one - he made himself at home right away! He loves the attention he gets.

And a missing finger or two!

He actually doesn’t bite hard. It’s very gentle, but he has a few teething toys that he will pick up and run off with.

You know something, I have a weird soft spot for thin clients. They’re so little and compact, but they do ordinary computer things?! Hmm… I think I need to be on the lookout for some to add to my collection so I can force get them to compile Gentoo for three days, or something equally silly. I’ve made a Compaq Deskpro EN run Arch Linux 32, so there’s that.

The thing I’d like news sites or other sites that use paywalls to understand is that I am not likely to sign up for a $5/$10/$15/$20+ subscription just to skim through a single panic-inducing article or quiz and then probably never return. I will literally press that little back button and go somewhere else.

My cat’s name is Spooky, but he gets called Spucky, Sporky, and Scoopy, all originally mispronunciations of his name that we found amusing. We also call him Cat, Mr. Cat, Kitty, Mr. Kitty, and occasionally Feline.

Huh. That’s a good idea. You could use it for that. It leaves the rear cameras open too, if you wanted to prop it up that way. It was mostly just so that I could keep my phone propped up for easy access when I was playing music off of it. It’s literally just a stand that you put your MagSafe charger into. Not expensive.

Ayy!!

He’s half Siamese. He kind of has the face, but we don’t know what the other half is. His mother, the Siamese cat, got of her owners’ house one day, and some time after she returned… multiplication had occurred.

About half the kittens looked like this kitty. Floofy, black fur (he actually had stripes as a kitten), there are a few possibilities. His father may have been a mix himself - some ragdoll, maybe a little bit of tabby, perhaps some Maine coon somewhere in there.

Yep, grape Zevia. It’s a brand of pop sweetened with stevia. Not the most delicious thing out there if I’m being honest, it’s got a bit of an aftertaste. It’s just not as miserably bad for you as other pop.

You know, I’ve never actually thought to do this. I’ve only grabbed items to stage for period-correct photos, but not candid “wtf is that” stuff in photos. That’s… really, really funny, actually!

He definitely is quite the floofer. He is actually part Siamese, as that’s what his mother was. We don’t know what his father was, but we can see what he might have been.

I will! (He said thank you)

Such a pretty kitty! Reminds me a lot of my sister-in-law’s dad’s cat named Merp (yes, that was her name). She’s no longer around sadly, but she looked just like that, and was super loveable!

Oh but he did get the pets! I just needed to make sure that I had a picture before he moved! Usually he prefers to be on my lap, but sometimes he’ll make himself the centre of attention this way!

Why, thank you! The kitty doesn’t seem to concern himself with the events of computer software, he may only be interested in the cursor for a few seconds. I’ve personally not run Windows on a main PC since 2020, and I think it was Garuda at the time of this photo.

That’s a magnetic charger for a phone attached to a rotatable stand.

That you did!

Nah, it’s a grape drink I happened to have in the photo, and happened to be turned to show the French side. I didn’t even realize this until it was pointed out in the comments!

Almost - it’s grape. Grape in French is raisin. Products in Canada have both English and French on them.

This comment made my night! (I hope that doesn’t sound sarcastic - I don’t mean it to be! I genuinely loved it and thought it was funny!)
