Void kitty and Fog kitty have an equilibrium distance that maximizes contentment.

An online friend shares her kitties best efforts on Discord and Waif Kitty does "Just returned from a timeline where no one has thrown String Toy for her ever" so well. (Kitty is actually quite happy much of the time):

Sympathy. Waif kitty thinks that is almost as bad as not getting any pets ever.

Ow, damn! Sympathy. Have some happy cat vibes.

As it happens, I answered something very close to this question back in 2015, in chapter 5 of The Maker's Ark 8-)

Sonova... Well, if it was blood pressure they were concered about, mine would suddenly be in the "danger, need meds" range after that.
All the sympathy, and have a soothing kitty.

Oh no. This calls for emergency kitties (courtesy of a friend who is an exemplary human to her cats)

Have a picture of a waif kitty who hasn't had nearly enough string toy playing with in these trying times:

Playing Starsector, so blowing up a Hegemony invasion fleet by them, failure to have my transponder on by the Perseans, whom they were invading, so they wouldn't know it was me, and smuggling, failure to pay tarriffs, and allowing an AI to run at large by lots of people 8-)

Have a kitty with waif eyes contemplating the mystery of a currently stationary dangly toy.

I don't currently have a kitty, but a friend shares pics of hers, and they are here to bring some Cat and keep you company.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.
March 31, 2025 at 4:55 AM
Whoops, sorry, now with alt text (that got lost when Bluesky wasn't accepting images)
March 24, 2025 at 4:40 PM
With that out of the way, and images working again, I can finally continue this 8-)
