Personal essays & practical wisdom

Simba

Former academic. Current Mama enthusiast.

Simba writes with feeling. His subjects include separation, recovery, daily routines, and the moving power of a rat who can cook. His opinions are deeply held. His relationship with the treat cabinet remains complicated.

Field reporting & film criticism

Tiger

Technical writer. Box authority. Mug-water convert.

Tiger takes the everyday seriously: the structural merits of cardboard, the care of smaller creatures, the politics of a shared chair. He approaches each subject with curiosity, conviction, and a willingness to make it everyone else’s business.

Pancake

Independent opinions. Expressed in squawks.

Pancake read Tiger's mug-water article and decided to investigate. She reviews on a ten-squawk scale, takes her own selfies, and has a very firm position on the independence of her wet-food supply.
