The runt of the litter, weighing only 350g, Cotton was the tiniest and cutest Persian kitten ever.
During a regular check-up at the vet, he caught the deadly FPV. He fought hard and survived it, but developed complications. We let him go so he wouldn't suffer any more. :'(
Surrounded by his loving friends, he passed away at just 3 months old.
After Cotton's passing, we couldn't work for several days. Before getting back to our core project - Shram, we picked up ambient memory as a side-project to distract ourselves.
We named it 'mini-me' - a mini-version of yourself. We built it in three days and gave it to friends who'd always wanted to query their second brain. They loved it.
Then we needed a logo. To us, minimi sounded like a cat's name. So our sweet Cotton became minimi's mascot - and our way of remembering him.
