Scorpius - Fuel for hatred

I have been re-listening to @mynameisgrant.bsky.social and @chipcheezum.bsky.social Bizarre podcast: Space Puppets while doing MMO dailies. Reminiscing about Farscape and ,of course, this nasty nasty man

After 15 cats and 12 years I now know what a cat seizure looks like!!

Gordito had one last night and had to spend the night at the vet hospital under observation.

He's doing just fine, just had to give me a good scare to keep me on my toes i guess!!

I am Nathan, a disabled traditional artist from Brazil

I have 12 cats (lost one to old age complications just a week ago, shortly after rescuing another kitten, so the vet bills are spicy!) and 2 dogs!!

Nino did not make it, the kidney failure was too severe

l loved him very much, he was one of the most affectionate boys in the house, always on my lap during a cat cuddle puddle and always with his hilariously high pitched meows and chirps

I will miss you, inky shadow of the house

Thank you for doing this!

my most popular pieces ended up being fanart, of Earthsea, Silksong and Redwall! (I snuck another drawing I really like in there too)
