Cold Little Feet

Morris wanted to sit on my computer.  I said no.

So, he sat on my head, instead.

Maybe his feet were cold?

Blueprints of the Afterlife by Ryan Boudinot

Blueprints of the Afterlife is one part science-fiction (from the not so distant future), one part dystopia (masquerading as a utopia in parts), and one part a story about the importance of knowing who you really are.

It’s a gigantic puzzle for the reader to put together, as told by characters in chapters that are juxtaposed out of context with chapters from the viewpoint of other characters. Some of the characters never meet each other, and yet, are connected in a string of events directed by a mysterious man named Dirk Bickle.

Neko Atsume: Mementos

Neko Atsume is a cute little game where the entire purpose is to collect all the cats. Players put a variety of items into their yards/homes, and fill up food dishes with cat food. The cats will appear until the food runs out.

Cats that really like you will give you a Memento. According to Neko Atsume Wiki, a Memento is proof that we have become a cat’s friend.

This blog shows all of the Mementos that Neko Atsume cats have given to me. I’ve included a translation for the screenshots that are in Japanese (and were taken before the game enabled players to switch to English).
