She said, “Would you like the cat?” And I was like, “Are you kidding me?” And she handed me this cat that was literally smaller than my palm. Eyes wide open, I was like, “Oh my gosh!” It was the best thing that ever happened. I would carry her around in my hoodie. I remember the day that Tyler, the Creator opened the Odd Future pop-up shop, and I brought Tron there. He was like, “Whoa.” Yeah, that happened.

This made me happy.

These are all really nice.

Does your pet like listening to your music?
I think cats only like jazz so he probably doesn’t care about my pop punk band.

Who is your pet’s favorite musician?
Probably some cat that plays saxophone on another planet.

It needs Doris, but this was really cute.
