Weekly thread for casual chat and photos of pets

While we don't have a cat yet (we'd love to adopt one someday!), our former neighbors sent us a photo of theirs. It did a silly and hurt itself a little, and was forced into a cone of shame. He looked so grumpy yet so dapper. I don't know how cats pull that off.

It was also so nice to get that message out of the blue. It's been a while since I've truly felt happy and that silly billy tipped the scales towards that. We're going to see our friends soon and I'll pet the heck out of that cat as a reward.
