Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@typhlosion Looks cool, unfortunately crashed badly for me. Severe UI-obfuscating particle effects and a crash bad enough I couldn't close Mod The Spire and had to reboot. When I have more time later in the week I might be able to get more details!

@hystericempress <3

@Soreth *pupils DILATE*

@Aradia FUCK YEAH

@Leucrotta I never think of you as a rat! And sorry, canids don't get a year. You get... um... the whole yard to run in. Yeah. *grin/hug*

AHEM YEAR OF TIGER STARTS NOW

HOPE YOU'VE BEEN PLANNING

WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME

artie was SAINTLY overnight and was released at 6 am on her own recognizance

she was present for 9 am check-in and was petted and praised lavishly

stayed on the fuckin ground tonight 😽​

we have brought her in for the night and rewarded her with a wet food and lots of petting

HER IMMORTAL* MAJESTY* IS VERY DRUYNK [sic] AND STON ED [sic] RIGHT NOW

I ISSUE THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION: ARTEMIS OF CLAN SHADOW IS AN IDIOT

I ISSUE ALSO THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION: I HAVE INDIAN FOOD SCREW ALL Y'ALL 🐯​❤️​

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah but most cats don't choose hiding places that are FORTY FEET OFF THE GROUND AND REQUIRE A MISDEMEANOR TO RETRIEVE THEM. 😅​

Still, sweetie, you ain't wrong. <3

PROPOSAL: change Artemis's name to Eurydice

ARTIE UPDATE: Artie has clearly chosen a life of crime over her friends. She's in the attic, accounted for and apparently safe.

Peg's insisting we leave her up there for the day, and it's boosting my anxiety over the whole thing pretty fierce, but I guess if it were that unsafe Artie wouldn't be so determined to get up there?!?

And she was quiet up there all night, which scared the shit outta me when she was unaccounted for, but is probably a good sign it's reasonably cozy up there even if she can't get down.

She's missed two feedings now, which I also feel bad about, but she missed FOUR last time, and... well... she's a pudge. She shouldn't be in any danger food or water wise, though I might insist we bring her a little water bowl later.

And I guess she's right, Artie really needs to get some Negative Behavioral Reinforcement about that place, and other than converting her to Full Time House Cat-- which Peg is NOT ready for and I've got mixed feelings about-- I'm out of ideas.

@001zlnv @anthracite I am still SERIOUSLY considering collar + GoPro.

@001zlnv @anthracite We wish we fucking knew. And of course, since it's not our property, options for investigating are kinda limited.

@spottyfox Oh hey there! :D

welp, whatever else i can say about this week, my relationship with shadow has not been harmed *sigh*

apologies for the stringy hair, it's been a low-energy day

@Leucrotta Have you ever seen the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Dewey finds a cotton candy machine, accidentally traps himself in the garage, and then has to eat his way out? :D
