Even though Grimalkins are easy-going and perfect "starter familiars", do not forget to provide them with enough enrichment! It will strengthen your bond 😻

"It looks like a delightful, charming, and genuinely innovative take on the idle genre, prioritizing your relaxation over a constant grind[...] It promises a small, quiet, and satisfying kind of magic."

A lovely piece from @indieinsights.bsky.social.
