I commissioned @arrgh-whatever to paint my cat Malva, because he is Ukrainian like her and opened up emergency commissions (now closed again).

Do look at his profile, though, he does wonderful work!

Standing by for when he opens his commissions again already, actually, as I know a wonderful lady who wants her own cat painted as well and if timing works out at all, I will give her a commission with Vic as a birthday present in October. Or as a Christmas present, if it takes longer.

My cat Malva is three years old today (according to her Ukrainian pet passport)! Born in Donetsk, was surrendered to a shelter in Kyiv, then went to Munich in a van full of dogs, with some cat carriers stuffed in between the dog crates. She was in her carrier for four days on end and now hates having to be in a box.

However, by now, she has been with me almost as long as she has been anywhere else combined. I'm trying to do that rescue cat thing for her where I love and spoil her so much she forgets she came from a war zone, and life was ever horrible.

Me: Now I will wrap myself in a Yunnan poncho and watch "Fangs of Fortune".

My cat: Nope you won't. All your Yunnan ponchos are belong to me.

I'm on vacation; so is my cat. She is staying with my favourite colleague who is spoiling her utterly. 🍤⛱️🪷

We have a lot of snow here; even though she probably knows the stuff from her original home in Donetsk, Malva came back inside immediately.

Meet Malva, refugee cat from Kyiv, who now lives with me. She is my little animal now! 💜

I was scrolling through Instagram during a lull in work as one does, and thought, OMG what a beautiful cat!

Then I realised it was my own cat on my own post.

Time to stop working and curl up on the couch with said cat.

Here's the devil Mephistopheles* and here's some coffee. Go right ahead.

*my late cat Mephisto Pa-Miu. He's in a position now to take calls from crossroads for his boss.

hate when people are just like “cut out tea and coffee” like it’s nothing like it’s not the biggest sacrifice you can ask of a person i’d rather sell my family and friends to the devil mephistopheles than renounce warm caffeinated beverages be serious

This is my cat Malva / "Malvochka" -- she came to me after my Mephisto died last November, all the way from Donetsk in Ukraine, via a shelter in Kyiv and a fosterer in the next village over.

She is the perfect cat for me. 🐈💜🐈‍⬛💛💙

We get Paprikahendl even as cat food here; my cat Malvochka loves it.

Part of my modern City AU.

Fang Duobing's mum has paid Li Lianhua a sneaky retainer to keep the three vanlife guys and their Lotus bus around in the City for a bit.

This is their chance to tackle some long procrastinated projects.

Chapter 9: Interlude: Fun & Profit

Xue Yang receives an email.

Ooops, I had a shower thought -- so instead of making coffee, I wrote another villain interlude. Now it's out of my system I can finally make coffee and feed Malvochka.-

Me: [keeps veggie day on Thursdays, orders vegan Indian food to be delivered]

My cat Malva: Yay, tasty human food delivery!

Me: No, Malvochka, everything here is vegetarian. You are an obligate carnivore. You can't have any of this.

Malva: Tasty! Indian! Fudz!!! [keeps trying to get at it]

Rong Changqing returns from his work trip; Baiyi welcomes him. The world has come far, but there are still miles to go.

Sorry, I end this a day late because of my Malvochka, who came to me on Saturday. I couldn't possibly write that day.
