Happy Respect Your Cat Day! If you have a cat, let it do whatever it wants today. If you don’t have a cat, then just salute some pictures of cats online or get one in The Sims and be nice to it. In honor of this great day, I asked you folks to create images featuring cats. Real or fake!

This week on Snapshots, trippy orbs, a creepy computer, a cool looking arrow, a sign left forgotten in the wasteland, a fast car, and social distancing in Animal Crossing.

In Iron Danger you can rewind time whenever you need to in order to save your life and land the killing blow.
