    Anyone else collect your cat’s whiskers and store them in a container? I have a little tin I keep Mickey’s whiskers in. I almost considered keeping his claw sheds, but that’s a bit too far; can’t turn those into a weird brush 😅

      I do not think it would be safe to collect pieces of the void and store them together. I’m pretty sure that’s how you make a black hole.

        😂 I’m sure physicists would flock to your home to study a man-made black hole, organically sourced from your resident void

          The physicists, along with everything else, would be sucked here whether they want to study the black hole or not. Then we’d apparently all be stretched out in a weird process, probably the same one that created the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I don’t really want to be pasta.

            Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. R’amen.

      Sorry for the joke but I can’t resist:

      So how many government lists are you on? Do you collect them like Steam achievements?

      (sorry again)

          Making a few new cats is what the Good Comb is for. Serious quantities of felting material. And sneezing.

      You are not alone, mine have a shot glass each… And the commemorative ones get transferred into the urn in a little bag.

        That’s a great idea, I was holding on to them to remember him by, for the inevitable. He also likes to sniff them and try to eat them which is just hilarious 😂

          I thought he was a bit young to be overly concerned about that yet, but still.

          I had some warning when my 17yo WhiteBoy was going to leave. Enough to shop for a huge pot for a tree and match his eyes. Excuse me for a bit 😿

      Not regularly, but I do have a few from prior cats, and a baby tooth from one.
