Joe H makes his new cats comfortable with a famous C. J. Cherryh adventure:
Well, not actually sleeping on it, but meet new household additions Signy (left) and Mallory (right) in frame with my childhood copy of Downbelow Station, from whence the names. (Plus a couple of standalone photos – Signy on the floor and Mallory on the bed.)

Most excellent credentials, with most excellent taste!
Thank you! Downbelow Station is my all-time favorite SF novel.
(And I suppose Hilfy & Pyanfar would have been even more appropriate names, but I decided to be merciful to the vet techs who someday will need to say those names out loud.)
Captain Signy Mallory has no soul they say/the captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay….
But these lovely credentials have plenty of heart, I can tell.
Ha! I only just heard that for the first time a few days ago (when I was explaining the cat names on Discord and somebody posted a YouTube link).
And yes, plenty of heart. They’ve only been here a couple of weeks, so we’re still establishing the contours of our relationship, but we’re going to be very happy together.
