This is Jake, one of the two 17 Seconds Towers cats. Yesterday, he died suddenly, aged three and a half, hence a lack of postings here yesterday.

RIP boy, you were awesome, and sorry I ever grumbled about you trying to eat my iPod headphones. May you find many mice to catch, whereever you may be…

There are apparently people out there who don’t like cats -presumably the same people who think it’s okay to bully colleagues, think that global warming is a Marxist Myth, and think Celine Dion is a really great artist.

In honour of you, Jake, The Sugarcubes.

Oh, and obviously, the Cure:
