Adopted a new kitty, our outdoor-now-indoor stray, NC (for "Neighborhood Cat").
A middle-aged guy with long hair and glasses leaning back, wearing a blue shirt. On my stomach, curled up, is NC, a gray tabby with a notched ear.

Date yourself with toys that were newly available when you played with them.
In-package toy of Crystar, an 80s action figure of a crystalline warrior. In-package action figure of Mantor, a bearded guy with insect eyes and antennas, and Raptor, a big blue bug companion, from the Sectaurs toy line. Package for the Track Patrol toy from the Sky Commanders 80s toy line. It’s like a futuristic ski lift with guns. An action figure is included and pictured riding the ski lift: Commander Cliff Baxter. In-package toy of the transforming robot “Feathers,” from the Converters toy line, a knockoff transformers brand. Feathers is light green and turns into a robot peacock with metal tail feathers.

Let my kitty Solo go today. He fought his lymphoma hard and was ready. Such a good little guy
My big foot next to tiny kitten Solo, and orange tabby. My leg with a now-big Solo (an orange tabby) lying on it, asleep. Orange tabby Solo on a wooden floor next to a christmas tree. He is wrapped up in gold tinsel. Me, long haired bearded guy, lying on a sofa. Huge orange tabby Solo is sprawled across my chest snd neck. I'm smiling.

Age yourself with a toy from your childhood
Photo of the toy from 1982--the crystal dragon from the Crystar line of toys. It is a sold plastic dragon, translucent aqua. Two large plastic wings that can attach to the dragon are displayed in front. The logo for "Dallas Vintage Toys" is in the bottom right corner.

Post a picture of when your pet was little.

Post a fictional death that devastated you.

(IDW's Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, #55, writer: James Roberts, art: Alex Milne, colors: Joana Lafuente)

If you'd have told me fifteen years ago that a Transformers comic book would make me cry, I'd have scoffed. But this series--boy howdy.
Page from a Transformers comic book. Top three panels--a battle-scarred Megatron bends over the dying Decepticon Ravage. Megatron wears a Decepticon emblem over the Autobot symbol on his chest. First panel, Megatron: "I'm here, Ravage. I'm here. It's me." Next panel, Ravage (putting his paw on the Decepticon emblem): "Don't . . . change . . . back" Third panel, overhead shot of Ravage, dead. Next row, first panel, marked "Elsewhere"--closeup on Soundwave's face, registering shock. Next panel, side view of Soundwave, grasping a table in front of him. Next panel, side view of Soundwave, collapsing in grief, holding onto the table. Bottom row, first panel: back to Megatron, his face and front in shadow, leaning over Ravage's body. Last panel: the crew of the Lost Light (Autobots), staring in shocked sadness.

Nature: Just say when!

Baton Rouge: yay snow! ... ok, "when."

Nature:

BR: Uh, I said when? You can stop?

Nature:

BR: ... please, when? Uncle? Stop?

Nature: *frigid, otherworldly chuckling*

Hidey is also helping, modeling watchful readiness.
Orange cat curles up in the well between my legs as i sprawl on the couch. A longhaired black and white car curls on the back of the couch, just above the orange cat.

Solo, helping with administrative tasks.

That's right! He fails ultimately because he, like, doubts himself for a second. Poor Puma!
Cover of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #111. Puma, a huge, glowing were-cat-looking guy looms over the Beyonder, a white guy in a purple jumpsuit and with 80s Michael Jackson hair. Spider-man in his black costume swings between them. Spider-Man says, "The Puma's beeen given incredible power...grown to three times his normal size! I've got to save the Beyonder--!" "NO!" interrupts the Beyonder. "Don't interfere, Spider-Man! The fate of the universe is riding on this!" A red title box says, "...and then the GODS CRIED!" Rich Buckler drawing, Jim Owsley writing.
