It's Friday the 13th! Time to celebrate the unlucky voids in all their glory~ Here is a collection of Space Cat that I've painted over the years. What shenanigans will he get up to next?

Those eyes!

My husband’s wife? Are they talking in third person or do they have a sister wife? I don’t care if it’s polyamory, I just want some clarification. I’m so curious.

Very cute plush though. Their husband’s wife has good taste.

I want one.

AND IIIIIIII

WILL ALWAYS

LOVE YOUUUU

That cat is smug

I found photos of those Pallas Cat kittens born this year and bye I'm deceased

why do these kittens have the exact same energy as a nest of baby owls

@curlicuetruth you are very right

We just knew.

As a reminder, this is what she looks like:

Also I hope everyone knows that Miette was fostered before she was adopted, and her foster mom loved that little kitten so much and always hoped she’d gone to a good home. this tweet got so popular that she recognized Miette and reached out to her current mom, and was able to share previously unseen baby pictures

You mean, she saw Miette was kicked like the football and did nothing to help put Mother in jail for a thousand years? I am appalled.

her!!!

Baby Miette!!!

Babe wake up new Miette lore just dropped

IT’S MIETTE!!!!

I shall call him…Priapus.

Priapus.

a lot of you probably knows Belphie's story, but I'll summarize just in case.

Devon Rex cats are better for people with allergies (less shed fur + less Fel d1 protein in their saliva), so on February 16, 2024, I went the breeder route and put down a deposit! before Belphie even opened his eyes, he was mine.

every Friday, the breeder sent me a new photo. I had a broken leg, and was basically rotting in bed at that point, so it was the best part of my week. then, at 12 weeks old, I BROUGHT HIM HOME!

at first, he was so alive. like a wind-up monkey that never shut off. he dangled from the wall-hangings, savaged my feet as I walked, and used my elderly cats as jumping poles to do cool acrobatics over. but this all gradually faded.

first, he stopped playing. then he stopped climbing. then he stopped moving much at all. my vet ran tests on him and found multiple pathogens (calcivrius + mycoplasma), but the medication didn't help - he kept declining.

on September 17th, I woke up to find him swollen like a balloon. we finally had an answer: he had Feline infectious Peritonitis, aka FIP. before 2017, this would've been a death sentence. he would've kept bloating until he drowned in his own fluids. and before 2024, I would've been forced to inject him with black market drugs. but thankfully, South Tower Animal Hospital in Fergus, Ontario was doing a study on the oral medication! we drove two hours, enrolled him, and left with the GS-441524 pills.

and he went from those photos above.....to this:

I thought Belphie would die as a kitten. I'd accepted that he would never grow up. but now he gets to LIVE!

and all for the low cost of $7,553.....ahhhahaha........god.

that + a recent home disaster has wiped out my savings, but I still need to pay for Belphie's medication. to remain in this study, I need to do bloodwork monthly until Feb 2025, and he'll need daily pills until March 2025.

I've put a risograph print + enamel pin set at greerstothers.shop. I hate asking for help, but if you'd like to support Belphie's continued treatment, please consider checking them out!

I did not get on tumblr today expecting to cry

Cats are human version of a child ♡

@erlysworld

Was there a ship's cat somewhere in the family tree?

(Glad I saved these and several other pics, since the Ded Burd account is gone.)
