Welcome

This is per-Bast.org, an award-winning domain for cat gods and the people who love them -- or are, at least, passingly curious about them.

There's lots of stuff written about Bast here. Take a look.

Updates

Transfer completed, and hopefully everything should be up and working. Many, many thanks to C. Tidball for hosting this site for the last few years!

Quite a few years later, things are still nice and minty green. Site is once again on the move, to another set of equally capable hands, who will take care of it just as well as S.D. Cass and C. Tidball have. We're hoping to have no downtime during the transfer, however things do sometimes happen; if the site does break, please give us time, and things will be fixed.

After nearly a year of distraction, most of the back-end overhaul has been completed. Thank you to everyone who continues to visit and suggest the website for others to read!

per-Bast.org will be going through a bit of a back-end overhaul over the next couple of months. Nothing you, the user, sees should be affected.

Ownership is now completely transferred, and the site is back up and working.

Ownership transferred! New updates...someday?

We moved servers!

If you're getting spam/viruses from per-Bast.org, guess what? It ain't us! Some spammer out there is spoofing this domain. And no, there's not a whole lot we can do about it. Sorry.
