A neighbour brought us a tiny kitty, perhaps abandoned by its mother cat. This kitty now lives with us. This is my daughter playing with the kitty.

Welcome to the wonderful world of cat ownership.
Lesson one: vets are expensive ... immunization, neutering, and microchipping are the first three things to look for.
Lesson two: vets are expensive ... you can buy the same flea and worm products from the internet for maybe 1/4 or less of the price a vet will charge - I find the "back of the neck drops" are best once the cat is flea free. Apply monthly for fleas, and quarterly for worms.
Don't expect to have many lie-ins with a cat: they want breakfast when the sun comes up! Oh, and they like keyboards as well.
Wouldn't want to lose ours though: @Dij-The-Cat

Thanks for your mail.
There are not so many cat-related regulations in India where I live. So somewhat easier to take care of the ๐.
We have two other grown up cats ๐ at home, and they are still hostile towards this new kitty. Will take time for them to adjust.

It's not so much regulations as a good idea: cats in the UK don't have to be chipped until 2023 (dog chipping became mandatory in 2016).
Chipping means if your cat gets lost or stolen, a vet can scan him / her and return it to you.
Fleas are nasty vermin - the cat and you are much better off without them! (And they can carry some nasty cat bugs when they swap hosts - like FIP which is brutal, fatal, and incurable.)
Worms don't help either - and they can be transferred to humans if you aren't careful when petting.

My son's cat starts banging on the bedroom door in the middle of the night whether the sun is up or not.

truth. The vets realized they had gotten so expensive, they started an insurance industry.
It's absurd.

My cat has food available all day long, we let her manage herself. European cats usually prefer 10-15 small snacks over the day rather than two-three large feedings.
Despite that, she knows we refill her kibbles at 7 AM so she will meow for food despite still having it available.

Hi All,
Time for a rant we have a 'Zero Trust' policy introduced today, I have committed my password so it's muscle memory I got to habit of typing it before the monitors had worked out what they were at wake up. Now, we have to use a PIN code to unlock the keyboard to allow the password option (3 times your out!) So can't log in that way anymore, If you use your ID card to unlock your PC it works(!) the old way was card in unlocks the PC, card out locks PC. Now take your card out PC's remains on unlocked open to all to use. Passwords for all systems have to be different, great in theory, in practice people write them on Post It's which end up stuck to the screen. Hacker proof if you can't read... It gets worse...

As a senior network security specialist, I would recommend folding post it notes for more secure system. I will require unfolding process which can be tracked by security personnel who will be standing behind you all the time. If you people do not have one security person each, then you are far behind rest of the secure world.

Nice clue! I didn't solve it and thoroughly kicked myself when I saw the answer. Shoulda bribed you.

The Gathering - When We Fall[^]
Somehow I completely missed The Gathering's new album, Beautiful Distortion, which was released in April.
The Gathering is a legendary Dutch band who started out as a doom metal band, pioneered in the gothic metal scene, and made a style switch in 98 with their fifth studio album.
What we hear today is alternative rock with shoegaze and even some trip hop.
They went on a break in 2013, which was also the year of their last release.
But apparently, they're back!
I'm not a big fan, but I do like their music and I always give their new albums a listen.
In this case the album really caught on and it's on repeat, with this track in particular.
