My friend accused me of loving my other cat more than this one. It's true that the other cat has pretty privilege but Lele here will always be a permakitten (6.5 pounds) and gets almost as many pets.

Happy #pride month from the stoplight parrotfish. They're born both male and female but often a female will become male if there aren't enough males around. And some of those males become...SUPERMALE and grow large while maintaining a reproducing harem […]

I'm super-chuffed that today my rooftop PV system has produced enough power for three minutes of Eiffel Tower lighting. 😂
