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

Scorpius, from Farscape, a man with lizard features and a leather cowl, he has a port coming out of the side of his head that is dripping goo, inside and around it are cooling rods, blue for new and red for spent

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 was weirdly obsessed with them when I played gen 2 as a kid, found them so evocative!

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!!

yesterday felt like a whole week crammed into a single day, I slept like I ran a marathon

The Cat Fortress @thecatfortress.bsky.social · 9d

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

me with Nino draped around my neck like a scarf

Nino is very affectionate and looks like ink in motion, but he can be a little temperamental with the other cats sometimes
