The Cats of FreeBSD
Popular stereotypes suggest software people are cat people. Popular stereotypes are wrong always correct.

pauamma's past overfeline
In September 2017, not long after I moved into $digs[-1], Neighborhood Cat paid his first visit to me. I didn't have a camera then, but I repaired that omission within 3 weeks.
During one of his visits, while he was lounging on the bed, I started sweeping the room, thinking nothing of it. I glanced at him at some point and noticed he was watching me very intently. Then, as soon as I started sweeping near and under the bed, he jumped off and ran to the outside door, meowing urgently. A discussion with a neighbor and longtime resident confirmed my suspicion he'd been beaten. I never swept again when he was visiting, and put the broom away at once if I heard him meow outside my door.
People doing that (or enabling or condoning others doing that) are absolutely vile and deserve vocal contempt and complete shunning. No ifs. No buts. No excuses.
