    Looks like my dear-departed Minkette, without the haughtiness.

    I love voids. Was owned by one myself and they are notoriously hard to take a good (heck, any!) picture of them. Used to have to tell people yes, there is a cat in the photo.

    Samantha appreciates you deep down, Elizabeth G.

    No wonder my void Scorpius was so cuddly this morning! He knows it’s his day!
