My wife and I took in five kittens for a weekend. I insisted we keep one as my Dad was keeping another.

My wife insists this is a foster fail, but I maintain it was four foster successes!

Fluffy kitten tax. This is Mary Jane, supposed to be Peter Parker but my vet tech wife failed to correctly determine gender that weekend:

By that description, I imagine a centaur walking like a chicken.

It's my failure, not yours.

I might need to make chicken-centaurs in my game. Comical at first until you realize they're raptors.

Of course they're mythical.

They work in pairs.

Two of our four cats often show up in the bathroom when we are showering so we can wet them down with our hands when we get out.

They get all excited for a quick bath from mommy or daddy.

My heart is with you.

This was never my fight, but I was always vaguely supportive.

But about a year ago my wife and I invited someone into our home and lives, and we had no idea how terrifying that would get for them.

So yes, I echo some of your fears. How do I protect them should people show up wanting to disappear them?

How do I deal with that fear without projecting it onto them, when they're dealing with enough?

I was never a parent and yet now I kinda am, and I have a tiny sense of what you're going through - from Minnesota.

Fenn better not be your root password.

We once had a cat, Mojo, who got terribly matted like that once and we found out she loved to be shaved.

My wife is a vet tech and would bring her in for the new employees to practice trimming. She would lean into the trimmer and purr the whole time.

Here's Mojo with her Mojohawk:

Screenshot? It's a one page RPG. All the content fits in a single piece of paper. Back in the photocopy days that often meant front and back.

The DM then sits back and eats pizza as they put his furniture together.

My vet tech wife, more than 40 years in the business, says she has never before seen a pet Peeve.

Thought you'd like to know you are relatively original.

Yuuuup.

Fiend warlock player did not like learning how I used his minor backstory. (He actually loved it.)

He knew he needed to save a tree. He didn't know he was the one to burn it, nor that he did so because it was a source of power to his mother, who was a night hag.

So much fun.

He saved the tree and even managed to change his Patron, but is too scared to confront his mother again.
