Awesome, yeah I do! My favorite cat of all time was a Russian Blue who would curl up in my lap and purr so hard she drooled. Her name was Tawny. I’ve never met another cat like her.

As for dinos I love ankylosaurus and quetzalcoatlus. I also loved when they determined that a lot of dinos had feathers. The way the feathers are depicted looks so cool.

Same. It’s absurd how goofy they can be one moment and then suddenly they’re one of natures most perfectly evolved killing machines.

I had an orange tabby named Olly who would sleep in the crook of my neck then get up just before sunrise, go outside and bring back “breakfast.” Birds, squirrels, moles, snakes… 9yo me got to see what everything looked like turned inside out. He’d clean himself up then jump on my face and when I went to push him off he’d wrap his body around my hand and use his claws just enough to stay attached without drawing blood. I’d scratch his tummy and he’d start purring. Fun way to wake up.

That was over 30 years ago! He was such a cool cat. RIP Oliver 🐈
