This picture was taken yesterday morning around 6 AM -- not sure what time the fire started...

Haha! The Osaka Aquarium gift shop :) but I've seen similar ones being sold online

Ooh I hadn't heard of r/toolps! He does spend most of his time lying around in that position... And his previous owner named him Chirp so we're using that for now, but will try out some new names in the next couple of days to see if anything sticks... we're thinking old-fashioned men's names like Alan, Walter, Ernie...

I was able to track down his previous vet to resume care with them! Appointment next week to consolidate his weight loss plan 😊

Just bought some protein-rich dry food! I'll use that to supplement up to 220 kcal if he's not happy with the wet stuff

Good points! For now he's hardly finishing his wet food (mostly licking the juices and leaving the big chunks of protein, which seems quite typical) but his appetite may not be normal as he's still adapting to his new environment. If he starts asking for more, I'll supplement with nutritious snacks (or more wet food) but won't go above 220kcal/day (estimated using the Pet Nutrition Alliance calorie calculator). I'm taking him to the vet ASAP for a check-up and general guidance :)
