Chrysanthemum puked all over himself tonight but was such a good boy in the bath

he's eating and drinking and playing and has been rewarded with treats

(not the first time this has happened, sometimes he gets a fur ball and panics--our vet has advised us watch to watch out for)
Chrysanthemum, a long-haired tuxedo cat, looks with wide eyes at the viewer. His fur is damp.

when Nova wants to procrastinate doing something, she'll ask if I want a card reading in hopes I'll just forget about the other thing and more often than not it works
Depicted is a tarot card, the fool. A young blonde man wearing a feathered hat stands at the end of a cliff. A white flower is in his right palm. He carries a stick with a parcel attached at the end of it over his left shoulder. A white dog jumps at his feet. The sun is in the top right corner.

on the subject of transgender mice

right before I came out as trans, I bought this rat stuffed animal and described him to my gf as "the lil trans man inside me"

anyways, his name is Crunch Rat Supreme
A picture of Lachlan the sad rat, a Jellycat stuffed animal. His fur it grey with pink arms, legs, tail and nose. His ears are flopped into a submissive position. He doesn't look terribly sad per say, but he is definitely going through it.
