Yes! We can swap excess
That sounds great actually
I wish I was rich. I’d buy a nice big house, withdraw from society and fill it with cats.
My lips are getting so dry.
I picked up one of those tinted lip balms to try and it’s quite moisturising …but I didn’t look and it contains castor oil. Which can be very drying and is a known irritant for me. DOH
Oh it’s real. There might be settings you can change but some games are much worse for it than others
Oh a strawberry blonde. Lovely 🍓
Little miss was crying today and I was concerned. But I forgot to block off the chair seat and the second I turned my back she was up there. She’s going to be jarring her joints jumping up and down from that!
Edit: I was going to buy her pet ramps but she goes out of her way to jump off to the side to avoid any padding or ramps I improvise. She just wants to jump!
Could it be she’s okay, and is just crying because she wants extra wet food and to get up on furniture she’s not supposed to?
I take it all very seriously at her age though.

That’s good, I’m glad.
Re abuse I was talking about the future, warning you you could be more vulnerable to it.
Dysfunction might be a better word, yes. But these behaviours are sending up red flags and I can see you’re feeling the strain. If it’s a stable option and something you can cope with it might give everyone some breathing room. Hopefully.
Just be warned that leaving home is a big step. If people feel like you’re pulling away from them, or they’re losing control over you or the situation, or things are changing too fast to cope… their behaviours might escalate.
Just make sure to get your bag and ensure you have options. Having money, a job, and trustworthy friends are all important ways to protect yourself in life.
Ahhh. That’s manipulative as hell. She refuses to communicate a want or a need and then uses the lack of it as a weapon. This isn’t about the dog, it’s about control.

Also the things your dad says to you are emotional abuse.
I’m sorry if I’ve ever been unintentionally insensitive towards you in the past because holy shit.
I need you to know that none of this is your fault and nothing your family thinks or says of you is true. It might be a really good idea to prioritise whatever career will be stable and well paid enough that you have the choice to move out and be independent from them.
Also you might want to know that being raised like this means you’re less likely to spot abusive people or identify behaviours as abuse. And there is a danger of you internalising it and blaming yourself for it rather than clocking it and getting out of Dodge.
There are some hair dyes that are better for grey hairs, because they can pick up colour differently and turn a bright or unexpected colour
I forget what they are though or how it works
Some purple toner or shampoo might help? Otherwise if it was bleached it might need another go to get the stubborn red tones
Urgh. I was really sick last night. Stupid stomach.
Melbcat seems a tiny bit uncomfortable again. Right as I was calling the vet to say she was feeling a bit better, but asking about the ibd flare possibility and dealing with it if this continues/comes back. They’re so sick of me calling them though. I agreed to monitor and gave her something to help.
Edit: Ok she started crying again. Vet time!
Ps. I post a lot about Melbcat being sick, but overwhelmingly she’s happy and in good condition. Her chronic stuff is being managed, she just has a lot of annoying acute issues and I do fuss.
It just hit me. Melbcat has IBD. So maybe she’s having a flare.
This could explain the increased appetite, being sick, the accidents, the crying… She seems a lot better now but I’m going to get right back on the vets in the morning and ask. There is something that can be done about that.
Melbcat ‘monkey tails’ me and people she likes by wrapping it around us, it’s her version of a hug.
I know when she’s sick because along with the other body language she sometimes ‘hugs’ herself with her tail to self soothe.
Omg. It looks like you’re getting a tail hug. (Cats wrapping their tail around someone is a sign of affection)
Top 10 Anime Betrayals: There are no biscuits I can eat at Aldi and the Woolies brand gingersnaps are actually good.
I would love that.
