Birthday

...See more Today is my birthday and so far it's been eventful. Unfortunately my brother didn't wish me a happy birthday so I was feeling down, luckily two family members remembered and that helped. So for my birthday lightning struck our tree, made a hole in our roof, and rain came in up to our ankles while trying to find items to catch the rain. Luckily none of my cats or foster cats were on the cat tree as the roof is sitting on some of it, infact I think the cat tree is holding part of the roof. The water did get a pc and monitor. The floor is still wet hours later. Tried to use the vacuum mop and it got a lot, and have a fan on it. Our cats keep looking at their tree sadly as it isn't usable. The tree that got hit wad across our whole roof, and on top of power lines. And by chance we had someone coming out today to remove a dead tree, but instead they removed the one on the roof. Anyway just came to wish everyone a happy 4th of July and I know it's silly but some happy birthday wishes would be nice to cheer me up. Thank you.

...See more Moonlight the short fur, and Cloe the long fur, Moonlight was with me for over a year, Cloe came from a hoarder with over 70 cats and lived in a cage for a year.  They got adopted together this month! Chrip was from the same place as Cloe and got adopted last week! Nino And the newest tiny Tippy!  She is supposed to be 5 weeks but her eyes are changing color so she is closer to 6 weeks old.

...See more I've been trying to get disability under my parents income as I was disabled as a child.  My parents didn't know disability existed for children so they never filed for me.  I filled out disability reports, funtion report - adult, disability report adult and more, went in person to an ssa building and told them that I was filing under my parents income and filled out whatever they gave me.  Last year a judge found me disabled as of year 2006.  I thought finally I won't have to stress so much.  I know its not going to be a lot and people struggle on disablity but at least I would finally be on it.   Now they are saying I never filed under my parents income, only ssi.  So I'm back to square one.  They are counting a life insurance policy my father has on me as a resource, I can't even cancel the policy and the insurance policy even send ssa letters stating as such.  I already feel like a worthless human being needing to be on disability at a younger age then normal.  I'm just so tired.  I try to find ways to make an income online but can only do so much.  I do live with my father and feel so bad not being able to help financially.  I just hate being such a failure.

...See more Feel free to post your kitties too!   Faith wanting to cuddle When I got my new phone she could fit in its box Couldn't make my bed. In the big old pot Wanting my lap and getting her way Showing off that belly! Faith and Donny I said no to something so she through herself out.  More thenonce. She went in between the door when I said its going to be closed.  It did not get closed Freshly made bed?  Must be for us! Bad camera at the time, but faith went to bed and brought her teddy. Faith next to a kitten a two weeks older then her, she is that little head. What? I is a big gurl! Donny tucked himself in Donny is loved by all kitties including Zelda who doesn't care for others. In this house rugs are dangerous, always watch the step! Donny didn't want to be homeless so he helped me build him a house. He approves of the house Donny is now Boots's favorite buddy. Baby Donny suckling, he was still drinking from a bottle Minne and her foster buddy Kenny Minnie loves this door hanging thing.  Whoever donated it I say thank you! Minnie and Hopper(we miss you Hopper) high on the nip Let me just sneak in here. A kitty meeting.  I'm scared! Who doesn't wake up like this? A fort She actually like the outfit. That stretch! Its a belly trap Baby Minnie Boots He loves taking care of kittens, once they are older they are still his babies Boots with Candy,  Candy is no longer with us.  Miss her greatly. Getting some sun Cuddling with me as I was grieving Hopper Baby Boots Box inspector Tongue sticker Fan and light bulb helper Tree inspector.  Boots does it all.  PS he does have a harness on. Zelda, doesn't like cats but tolerates kittens This vicious monster was on the put down list as she attack someone.  First foster day she had belly rubs. Was told to risky to adopt her out and putting her down was most likely going to happen.  So I kept her instead. She doesn't like being held so we respect that.  She loves pets and cuddle time! That is all for now!

...See more Not sure where to start.  I am looking for hopefully long time friends on here.  I'm 35.  Disabled so I have a hard time doing things.  I also suffer from depression.   I also get attached easily and hurt easily which I'm working on.   When I'm not as depressed I like playing video games, drawing, watching tv. I do like going out, just prefer to go with friends. As a friend I always try to be there. I love animals, especially cats and foster them. Right now I'm grieving my cat Hopper,  and I feel so alone.  I also realized I love hugs from people.   I've always been socially awkward, so I'm hoping to improve and even make friends near me down the line. (Not sure where to start near me if you know good places please let me know) So if you're looking for a friend to chat with let's start.  As I said I'm socially awkward so please let me know if I overshare or undershare. Thank you for your time and hope to make some good friends!

...See more My beloved 5 year old Hopper, foster fail.  Had to be put down today.  He had what I thought was a sore in his mouth, but it was most likely cancer.  The vet said even if it wasn't cancer there wasn't anything that can be done as it was in the very back of his jaw.  And it was painful.  If it was treatable at all I would have done it.   I'm crying so much.  I love my Hopper Bobber (Bobber was a nickname since he bopped people a lot)  Just last year I had to put down my Candy 11 years old with cancer.  It just hurts so much.  Hopper who loved to be held.  He loved to answer you with his unusual meow.  He loved to roll in his catnip and then head butt anyone around him.  He loved his belly rubs and his friend Boots.  (My 11 year old boy, who better stay healthy)  You almost never could find him without Boots. Winter time was Hoppers favorite as he liked to play in the snow.  He was loved dearly and will be missed greatly.  I was there with him as they put him down.  It doesn't help people say I gave up on him.  And now my head keeps saying that.   He was taken to other vets before this.  He was on antibiotics and I thought he was getting better.  But he still had pain in his mouth often.  He was eating less.  He would claw at his mouth sometimes from the pain.  I just feel so guilty.  Thinking maybe I should have seen another vet yet again and see if they could remove the tumor so he could eat normally again.  But would it have been better as they most likely would have to remove his jaw?  What about pain meds?  It just won't stop circling my mind.  Did I put down my kitty for nothing?  It hurts so much.

...See more I've been suffering for depression since childhood.  Today I was having a rare good day.  I was in a good mood, even felt good for once.  Then bam.  Not just sad, buy crying sad and mood went way down.  I just don't get it.  I think I'll just cuddle a cat to try to level my mood.  I just don't get why is changed so fast.  Nothing happened so it confused me.  Especially since a good day is so rare, I don't even remember the last time I was actually happy for a few hours.
