We gave her a really nice day, out on the breezy porch. Lots of affection, medicine to dull her pain, and as much bisque as she desired. And then we said goodbye. She was the softest and best. Thank you to everyone who loved her through my comics.

We took in a foster cat this week and I can’t tell you how much joy he is giving me. He is a grade A beefcate with zero neck and a delicate little meow like the tinkling of a bell. Here he is completely owning John’s desk area. John took his work and moved TO THE FLOOR.

Thank you so much for all your condolences (catdolances?) over the last week. I am sad, and I made a lot of you sad as well, and it’s nice to not be alone in being sad. Cats are too good for us, but we have them nonetheless.

My kid’s preschool gave him a little local business passport, and I’m obsessed with it. At restaurants and shops, the kid asks if they have a business card or stamp/sticker, and they add it to their passport. It’s a lovely way to better get to know these spots we love.

Ok the problem with being a mom and also a person who loves their cat is that all these little baby clothes are just LYING AROUND, and sometimes you’re trying to sort these clothes but your cat won’t stop interfering and also he’s very photogenic and

When you get your kid an old typewriter to practice his writing, you don’t expect to give rise to a poet of this magnitude, but there’s no denying this raw talent.

Tonight during dinner, my 3 year old son, who has been learning about the human body in preschool, looked up from his meal and said, “The mouth is a hole in your skin that connects to your food tube which connects to your anus” and I did an actual spit-take.

It’s awfully humbling to be a professional artist living with the greatest artist of all time (aged 4). I draw our cat as part of my job, and he draws our cat absolutely enormous and with fairy wings and it completely obliterates every drawing anyone has ever done.
