Soup of the day.

Personal homepage of Supermassive Black Hole, professionally known as Soup. Small pet, supermassive personality: a rescue cat with leading-man lighting and an unexpectedly expansive inner life.

Soup started out a shy hissy boy and is now Velcro. He is loud, extroverted, very good at figuring things out, and prone to tiny obsessions pursued with complete sincerity (sound familiar?).

A few important Soup facts

Arranged in the same spirit as any other carefully maintained list of favourites.

Naming

Supermassive Black Hole, named after the astrophysical phenomenon rather than the Muse song on the Twilight soundtrack. Usually Soup, or Pumpkin Soup if he is wearing his themed knitted hat, thank you Jo. At the shelter he was Count Snackula.

Soup is a rescue. In the "getting to know you" room, he found the absolute smallest space to squeeze himself into. I cried and fell in love.
