CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@utzer Yup! We have installed storm doors to keep them from bolting, and have installed childproof locks on every cabinet they can reach, and have blocked off the door that leads to the eaves under the roof. Basically trying to turn it into a maximum security kitty prison but with enough comfy stuff for them that it's not a jail so much as a safe home.

@ryanboswell If you've got a local hackerspace, I'm sure they can take them off your hands to study.

Otherwise, open up the case, take the camera lens off to use on dev boards, take the camera module out to see if you can make it play nice with other boards, and either trash the main board or give it to someone who needs practice decapping resin blobs

Got off a video call with the humane society. We got final approval to adopt the cats!

They are very very picky about who can adopt their adult-caught formerly feral cats, since they're more challenging than a well-behaved kitten, but they apparently had a meeting about me and my husband and concluded that we know enough of what we're doing to give them a good home. 🥺

Hearing that made me feel like I could finally breath after holding my breath. We pick up the kitties next Monday after filling out some paperwork and taking two of them to their final humane society vet appointment. Then we bring them home, put them in our newly furnished cat room, and begin the work of making them comfortable.

@chirpbirb I would unironically buy a KDE-branded plasma globe just to say I have KDE plasma
