Calico with much floof and white ruff close up sitting on the spine of a book that says "cat"

Like the headline says, there’s a sale this week. If you value my writing, now is a great time to come aboard. You support my scribbling and my labeling of floofs so you know they are cat.

40% off; $30/yr

I don’t paywall most of my posts because I’d like everyone to be able to read them. Joining means you can comment though—and my weekly roundup posts (like this one!) include music of the week for paying subscribers. So become a paid subscriber, scroll down and listen to a bunch of music to celebrate!
