Lily my co-pilot waiting for the next form-up.
(yes, she was also expert at guarding/sleeping on my CD vault).
And then there was this crazy thing who never quite got the idea of not walking across my keyboard…

Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp - “4 year old Girl with Cat and Fish” (1647)
Apparently Mr. Cuyp was a portrait painter and later became famous for his pastoral landscapes. Whatever is the story behind this painting, sure it is a… interesting… one.

Even in 1647, working witch children AND animals was a daring proposal… 
(Many years ago, there was a famous TV commercial in Spain with lots of toddlers sitting on the floor… since it was before advanced CGI, they used real toddlers, and in order to keep them controlled, they stappled their diapers to the floor, so they could just dress and undress the toddlers with the diapers to keep them still and in place… that only left the challenge that nobody cried, everybody stood with their back upright and more or less looked in the same direction…)

The first chemical arms control agreement was the Strasbourg Agreement of 1675 between France and the Holy Roman Empire. This bilateral pact prohibited the use of poisoned bullets in any war between the two states.[3] In the several centuries after that agreement, as chemistry advanced, states developed more sophisticated chemical weapons, and the primary concern in arms control shifted from poison bullets to poison gases. Thus, in the Hague Convention of 1899, a large group of states agreed “to abstain from the use of projectiles the sole objective of which is the diffusion of asphyxiating or deleterious gases”.[4] The 1907 Hague Convention and other early attempts at chemical arms control were also significant in restricting the use of chemical weapons in warfare.

This is now understood to be a general prohibition on chemical weapons and biological weapons, but has nothing to say about production, storage or transfer. Later treaties did cover these aspects — the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
In other words,
while Arms Bazaar allow for systems to trade and store weapons in
Warlords countries and Pirates systems, they don't allow those
people to use them.
In other words, if those who store or agreed to store those systems
used them without authorization, they would violate treaties.
The same if attempting to divert from moral obligations and
miscommunication to create communication gap and try to capitalize
from it by marginalization.

I lost my best friend yesterday after 16 amazing years. I’ve owned dogs before and he was 100% more loyal than any dog. What should have been a routine dental procedure turned into an unexpected goodbye. He had a large and inoperable tumor growing through his jaw and into his throat.
I’m sure his last wish would have been for you all to see his ass so, here it is.
Ernie - May 2003 - Dec 2020. Sleep well little man.

I’m sorry for your loss, it’s already bad when there’s time to plan for goodbye, but when it comes all in a sudden… 
We lost two of our cats to sudden deaths, one from a heart strike at 3 years old and the other we don’t know -my parents just found her dead, almost cold, in a corner. She was 8 years old IIRC.
Stay strong and maybe, if you want advice from someone who’s lost a fair share of cats, when the time is right you may consider to give home to a homeless kitten and start another love affair with one of our amazing feline masters.
RIP, Ernie.

It suits my headcanon for what must have happened - how could a cat not have been present and trying to upstage everyone?
