While waiting for our 10th raider, we had some time to kill. Nate challenged me to a pet battle. I’d done some pet battling, but I’d never dueled another player. I was high level, so it was unfair but still fun. Here Musterbear (named after the stuffed Mr. Bear) defeated Nate’s Sunreaver Micro-Sentry.

In fact, Musterbear defeated Nate’s entire team. Yay, Musterbear!

Next up, Mushkin and Zetzu battled. That’s Zetzu’s Cinder Kitten, Nova! He kicked butt, but only because Mushkin didn’t use his A-team. I’m glad he likes his Cinder Kitten; Moogle got it for him for our Secret Santa last year.

We asked Fiirnok to fill in for Meto because Meto’s Internet was having problems. I hadn’t raided with Fiirnok since Wrath because he only recently rejoined. Fiirnok loves cats, and Moogle had the idea for everyone to bring out cats. She also had the idea of feeding them pet biscuits. I have a bunch as well, so after asking everyone to summon their cats, we enlarged them! You can see Fiirnok on the left in this picture near the water. I hope he liked the first ever Fiirnok Cat Party!
