He gives me the cute aggression real bad

lol the house is having electrical problems now and I thought it was a cat fountain with a wire short last night but the fridge has been out and the catio lights are flipping out. Food’s all warm, moved what is salvageable to the garage fridge. Breaker’s off to that part of the house for now.

Made the mistake of calling Mom to get some advice from Dad about the fridge and she asked if I was coming home for Christmas and I mentioned how hurt I was that she hasn’t visited in ten years and I really wanted them to meet my dog but now he’s gone and she fucking laughed at me.

Birthday’s in a week. The last few years and this one in particular have been so hard, it’s difficult to dredge up any degree of excitement.

this stuff done when Chris can’t be home because of work, and I can’t really do a lot of labor intensive work until my neck is fixed somehow. I’m just really tired and burnt out. I feel like I’ve been disassociating for a year straight after finding out how bad the situation with my spine is.

His name is Black Sunshine (White Zombie reference), but I call him… Hissy Bootypop.

I am SO sick of this, like how is this acceptable? Why are tax funded shelters no longer taking cats from the public? Especially cats that were clearly pets that have been DUMPED. House cats are not wild, feral cats are still domestic animals, none of this is sustainable and it is CRUEL to both the
