A tasty churu treat was placed on a little plate in our box. I glanced at the webcam and I’m sensing a refill has been ordered 🧐

#ESAEnvision will address several key questions about Venus:
🌋 How geologically active is the planet today?
☁️ How are its thick clouds sustained?
🥵 How does Venus lose its heat?
💦 Where did its water go?
🪨 How does the planet’s surface change over time?

A long time fan, #NorahNeko usually joins me for a chunk of my Japanese class. But it seems listening to me choke on Japanese verbs is of wide interest to all cats 😅

What is this poor fare that you’ve placed before me?
(#CasperCat did eat about half of a fairly large dish elsewhere in the room. But these options clearly didn’t measure up!)

Thank you, Catherine! It was UNDER THE WIRE since I was about to release him again if he didn't start eating properly, as it's no life to keep going for vet visits.

We want to break free~🎸 A new cat cam has joined the spy family!
#CasperCat ate quite well last night, although didn’t clean the plates. His favourite was apparently not served 😐 He also ate during the day for the first time! So food is now considered if I’m absent or unconscious 😅 I’ll take it.

Well, everyone is different 😅 But harassment is a fairly established issue, unfortunately.

A moment was had. It did not last, as #NorahNeko got bored after a few minutes and left 🤦🏼♀️

Actually, it was more "where the hell did you come from, and how can I get back to my closet?!" 😂. I'm standing just by the door, and I've zoomed in a fair way on my camera. He does have the confidence to explore when I'm not around, but is still extremely nervous when I'm in the room.

Good evening. We have eaten absolutely nothing all day because you were looking far too confident this morning 😐
