I’m so sorry! I understand what Jungle means to you, pets are so much more than pets to me, they are a member of the family. Is this the one that peed on the VCR during the World Cup? That was you, wasn’t it?

Heh, that was Artemis. I have three cats and a dog (my mother calls me Daktari due to my proclivity to adopt abandoned animals). Jungle is just special to me in that he was a very peculiar kitten, very badly socialized, wouldn’t let anyone touch him, etc. Then he met me and we fell in love. It’s as if he took it upon himself to make me feel at home here. He is also the oldest of the lot, so I knew eventually this would happen. But I guess we are never ready for it.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
