Oh, WHERE is my monkey? Oh, WHERE is my monkey?
Back there is your monkey!
Back there is your monkey!
Back there is MY monkey! Paws off!
How much will you give me for the monkey’s wallet?

Last night the world lost a big glorious goofball of a cat. My dear friend Scott Lynch’s cat Muse died suddenly and unexpectedly at home. As those of you who follow me on social media or read Friday Cat Blogging know, we had the pleasure to play surrogate monkey for Muse, aka Giant War Cat to my readers, for nearly two months this summer. We will miss him enormously and we’re heartbroken for Scott and his other person, Elizabeth Bear. I haven’t the heart to write any more, so I will say goodbye to him in pictures.
This was the first time I met him.
He had a ten minute staring contest with the concrete cat.
I’m going to miss him.
With Scott in our living room.
I uses standing desk for works too!
You know you’re a cat right? We don’t work.
But wooly bears do! Right?
Random wooly bear is confuzling. Also, possible sign of fall. Not good.
Quick, must get in extra sleeps on porch.
The McCullough cat are super weird.
But my nose is delicious, that’s something, right?
Not sure I should have drunk all that…
Why have you not burst?
Maybe he did…maybe that is Ghost of Giant War Cat!
Y’all run with that. I’ll be over here tasting my paw because it’s awesome!
If I had thumb I could open this thing up and write better captions…
Non sequitur cat says they went that way!
Friday Cat Blogging Bids farewell to Giant War Cat, Musimus Maximus Butthead Rex who has returned to his own thumb monkey the ever charming Scott Lynch.
I put something on the shopping list…
I promise to only use it for good!*
Potential load of good is not amused.
You could trust me with it…
You? Ha-ha-hoo-hee-hee-hee, right.
I too am skeptical.
Great, now I have to sleep with one eye open until the end of time.
Not gonna sweat it. “I will only use it for good” generates an auto veto from Laura.
