It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Jota, the owner of this account and my #kdrama watching partner, has crossed the rainbow bridge. He was 19 years old and very well loved. Jota, please come meet me again in your next life. #Caturday 🌈💔
A photo of a tabby cat with green eyes and a white belly and long white whiskers. He is sitting on a bed of blankets and pillows and looking at the camera. He’s probably purring and making biscuits.

Ka'ra the tuxedo cat sits in the bathtub, her legs splayed and arms bracing for balance. Her mouth is open for yelling and her eyes are a little squinted. Her long white whiskers stand out against her plain black face.

Seen in Stanley Park. I quite liked 2004. Absolutely no explanation whatsoever.
Stop sign in a Vancouver park with “2004” in the top part of the octagon. Not a common sight.

"A cartoon, titled "Quiet Piggy" by Steve Nease, depicts a Canadian beaver character applying duct tape over the mouth of a man identified as U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra. The beaver is holding a roll of tape and saying "Quiet Piggy," while the ambassador is holding a paper labeled "Anti-Canada Rhetoric". The cartoon is a political commentary on U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, and his undiplomatic comments regarding Canada."
