Oh, friends, this year has been hard in so many ways for all of us. My particular bummer now is: Over the past 2 months I have lost both of my beloved boy kitties, Clem and Henry, who have traveled the world with us for the past 15 years.

I miss them like crazy, and partly in sartorial terms! Over the years of pet ownership, I evolved a capsule of “WFH/lounge clothing:” easy-wash, durable garments in a gray-blue-beige colorway: this allowed everything to sorta coordinate and sorta hide damage. They were very much lap kitties, as you can see from the photo, so fur, claw marks, and even “accidents” (in the later years) were inevitable.

Now suddenly I find myself without any pets at all. No pet hair, no claws. I suppose I could wear the most delicate of fabrics with impunity, but I just don’t have the heart for it yet. All of you with furbabies (and I know you are many), give them a big squeeze today and embrace every bit of the annoying scratchy shedding fuzz while it lasts.
