I don’t often push out the tip jar and shake it in people’s faces. But when I do, it’s because of honest but bland reasons like: “I have a stray cat I think who’ll die without medical intervention, and these things cost money.” This did, much to my surprise, result in some real generosity from a number of y’all (THANKS!), enough so that Marvin the cat got examined, medicated and is now scheduled for surgery, the bulk of which would not have happened otherwise.

Still, I suspect if I had been cleverer, I could have really raked in the cash.

That’s just awesome.
