As some of you may recall, about three months ago, we had to put down my wife's cat, Shrapnel. It was hard to go through and caused a bit of a financial burden as it was $1000 after the surgeries and everything.

Well, last weekend, our other cat, my cat, Zod, got sick. I will spare all the details, but in short, we had to have him put down on Monday. It has hit our family quite hard at an unfortunate time of year.

So in one quarter, we went from two cats to no cats. Our only pet is our dog, Worf, who is awesome and amazing. Xander has taken it well, although we have told him that the cats now live with the vet. After coming home from the vet, Xander leapt into my arms asking me in an excited voice to "Go get Zod!" I nearly broke down crying then and there. Zod was such a great cat and I miss him so much.

I may be doing some commissions later this month to help with the vet bill. It is MUCH less this time around, but it is still Christmas. If I do, I will stream as I did last time. I will also be doing a limited number at a higher cost. What those numbers will be, I'll have to figure out. It may be four $50 pieces or five $35 pieces.

If you are interested, please let me know. My goal is to raise around $200.
