Letters To My Mom – Sometimes The World Needs To Stop
So, I had to put Mixx down. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I never thought I’d pen anything like this as a letter to my mother. But… Losing this particular pet was difficult. For context, my mother died in 2019, and she was very fond of my first cat Continue reading

Cozies
The comfort. Mind, I am severely… chronically allergic to cats. Having them around is detrimental to my health, but I have them as a comfort. Strange how that works.

That’s… That
Tired. So tired… and injured. And bleeding. Kitten was spayed today and within 2 hours had already cracked her E-Collar. I got her this recovery vest and she thanked me by clawing my hands and arms up and gouging a hole into the side of the vest. Left one leg unsnapped so she has a Continue reading

Caught In The Rush
At some point today, I had to slow down… like way down and deal with some responsibilities I have… as an adult. Some days, I hate being grown up. Then… on others, I’m appreciative. Some days, I swing so forcefully between both extremes… Once again, I found myself re-reading C&R II and III. Starting to Continue reading
