Beast

This is Beast.   He’s one of the most laid-back kitties I’ve ever met.  His primary person is in rehab, and his other person is homeless so Beast spends the day keeping him company. On the one hand, it’s easy to think “You know, if you can’t take care of yourself, you shouldn’t have a cat out here.”  But I know how much comfort I get from my own kitties, and I’d hate to deprive someone of that.  Either way, Beast is clearly well fed, clean, cared for and seems content.  As with many issues around homeless people, it’s not as simple as it appears.

new turtles

Here are the two new female spotted turtles.  There’s no real sense of scale here, but they are very small and quite cute.  We need to come up with names (there’s also a male) and were thinking that their spots look like stars in the night sky, so maybe we should name them for constellations or planets or similar…

Oni

In observation of the upcoming Japanese holiday of  Setsuban, Watson is sporting an oni mask.  Behind it, he’s probably wondering what he did to deserve this shit.
