Meet Bandya!

This week’s Pet of the Week is Bandya!

This gorgeous kitty loves following his human’s mom around, sleeping in air-conditioning, and climbing anywhere and everywhere in the house. Bandya tries very hard to be a good boy, and we are certain he is the best boy ever!

Two images of Bandya, a medium-haired brown tabby, are side by side on a graphic. In the left image, Bandya walks towards a candle flame in the foreground, the flame illuminates his face as he stares it down. In the right image, Bandya looks off to the left; his eyes are wide, as if he is surprised.

Blizzard the Help Desk Co-Worker…Sometimes

Our Pet of the Week is our very own Jen Anderson’s adorable (if not slightly neurotic) feline friend, Blizzard! Blizzard enjoys making quick cameos during our Help Desk meetings but only when he deems us worthy of his presence…which usually isn’t too often. Don’t worry, we don’t take it personally!
