It’s been a cat-heavy week in the future, which is just the way we like it. This week’s Baarbarian illustration suggests a possible way Willow the long-distance housecat journeyed from his home in Colorado to PopSci’s hometown, New York City, and that’s how we’ll believe it happened until proven otherwise.
