so aside from suddenly writing fanfiction again you should all know that I also have another cat. i'm sure this is the most important update you could possibly want to hear from me so here he is sitting side by side with Cloud who is an old man now but doing very well thank you:
his name is Roci, after the spaceship from The Expanse bc he is also legitimate salvage.
My cat Malva is three years old today (according to her Ukrainian pet passport)! Born in Donetsk, was surrendered to a shelter in Kyiv, then went to Munich in a van full of dogs, with some cat carriers stuffed in between the dog crates. She was in her carrier for four days on end and now hates having to be in a box.
However, by now, she has been with me almost as long as she has been anywhere else combined. I'm trying to do that rescue cat thing for her where I love and spoil her so much she forgets she came from a war zone, and life was ever horrible.
