In the past, when I’ve been tired, rushed, burned out, or just hadn’t been able to put a blog post together, I would post pictures of one of my two cats – Patacon – who basically adopted me as her person. My profile photo on Twitch even had me with her on my lap.
She passed away today. She was 16 years old.
