      Idk what “Family Eunuch” means, and there’s some fine print that I can’t quite make out, but this job posting is too good to pass up

      food. cos it’s being fed by its owners and then it goes visiting the neighbors who also feed it. that’s two incomes. though i dunno how passive it is, since the cat still has to meow for it and then actually do the work of chewing and swallowing it.
