Grim Determination

A cat sheltering in the subway during yet another bombing raid of Kyiv by Russia in the early hours of the morning of June 2.

Let the grim determination of this animal accompany us in all our endeavors.

And yes, I’m pretty certain this is the first kitty pic I have ever posted in my life.

I will very happily take that cat’s attitude into everything I do! And Go Cat for getting even Clarissa to succumb to the power of Our Feline Overlords. (Clarissa, your life will never again be the same.)
