Shelter Cat Update!

💙 Sending you a hug Maya. I will drink a toast to Ollie tonight. What a lucky boy he was to have you.

This is why I don’t find the Sandy Hook Promise ad shocking or distasteful in the slightest. It is the reality for far too many American kids.

Iceland is where you buy your frozen food in the UK. every high street should have one.

All good thoughts to both of you.

Sending best wishes to you and Ollie, Maya. I hope he’s just got a really minor infection and he bounces back at once, and I hope when it’s his time to go that you two get a proper and peaceful goodbye together.

All the good thoughts! Keep him warm and monitor his diet--sick kitties tend to not want to eat, so some extra tempting nibbles like tuna may be in order.

Sending you and Ollie love and positive healing vibes, Maya.  ❤️

Oh lordy, all the prayers for Ollie and you!

Sending all the good healing thoughts. (for you and him)

Oh lord Maya, I agree 100%. You’re not being depressing at all. I find that failing to acknowledge the painful possibilities—and hopefully deferred eventualities—just makes things worse, and means that you aren’t owning up to life. You’re right. Grief is the price we pay for all love, but life without love isn’t worth…

I'm sending Ollie concentrated positive vibes!

The Dustbunny. Ten years ago, I heard someone at the gym say she was taking the cat to be euthanized because the toddler didn't like her. 

I did not mean that question mark.  It’s a wish, not a question.  I’m soooo thinking of you.

Yesterday morning, courtesy of my narcissistic witch mother and rotten sister, I woke up to seven missed calls from my dad’s cell, and a pile of increasingly frantic (and annoyed, TBH) texts from my sister, saying some variation of “mom and dad think you’re dead because you never call them so you need to call them…

Oh no, not Ollie. I’m so sorry Maya, and absolutely send good thoughts. This might be a manageable infection—cats pick up all sorts of respiratory things, particularly when they’re already compromised by illness. Lyseine might help his immune system a bit, but that’s just conjecture from a non-vet who knows nothing…

I have done some cat sitting this week. Archie is a floofy tiny lion and I love him.

FLUFFY BABY

Orion says the results of the Cutest Rescue Dog contest aren't official because Jezzie dogs weren't there.  Show us all of your cute rescue dogs.

I’m so happy for you! I know how long the wait for that can be! I just pulled off my own very difficult, very low budget move from MN to FL after a very difficult apartment search (and exit from an abusive relationship) that took SO MANY CALLS -my income is too low for 99% of apartments since they want 3× the rent in…
