Kitty Stoke

[KQ]

These days I’ve been kind of worrying that I’ll die before my pets do. I can’t see then adjusting to life anywhere else.

After my one neighbor died and left a passel of animals (dogs, cats, horses) I decided to create a notebook with all my animal's particulars in case I meet an untimely end with the hope that they will find the right homes for their personslities/likes. I'll let my neighbors know where to find it. Might stick some Petsmart gift cards in there for food.

I've already asked my vet to take my horse which she agree to do. My donkeys will go back to the rescue in Oregon.

My mom lives in a retirement community in town. When I visit I see old ppl (80+) out walking their old dogs and I think "it's going to kill them when that dog dies."

Guess I'm a glass have empty person.

Yeah, proper planning is key. But the best laid plans won’t come to fruition if other folks don’t know those plans exist.

The thing is, I totally spoil the living shit out of my pets. They lead the most comfortable and well-fed life imaginable. I’ve often thought that I’d like somehow to come back as my pet, they’ve got it made. Life will never be as good for them.

Pretty sure that is how most of us feel. When my dogs leave me in the next couple of years I will try hard to be happy with our 3 kitties as I just don't have the desire to raise another pup at this time. My wife tells me ya right. We will see.

Yeah, when it happens it leaves an open wound, but eventually it will scab over, allowing some new joy to enter your life.

Soooo cute. I love orange kitties.

[riser4]

That's fucking Trouble.

[Boissal]

^^^^ that is for sure a lot of chaos in your near future, orange kitties are the wildest.

Thanks everyone for the good vibes, reality is settling in and Ugly is getting 4x the amount of loves now. As least his special food won't get pillaged, and he won't have to compete for the nursery rocking chair or any of the baby swings from now on.
I'm gonna be on the lookout for a shelter kitty who needs a better life though. Too much room in the house and my black heart not to give another kitty a 2nd chance.

Right? Skye and Freya shredded our gorgeous $4k curtains to ribbons and are still working on the furniture. Don't have nice stuff with kitties or puppies is what I have learned.

<snip> Don't have nice stuff with kitties or puppies or kids is what I have learned.

Yup. Although I fixed it to be more accurate for me.

[liv2ski]

I don't know about you, but kids are waaaay outta the picture for us.

Yeah - mine are just about gone, but in general, if you've got kids, don't buy nice stuff.

...Right here in River City!


And "fur kids" 'bout covers it all.

Correct.

And orange cats share ONE single brain cell. ALL orange cats on the planet. So there will be many days when neither one has a brain cell. Doomed, I tell ya, doomed.

Nice stuff is overrated. There is a certain freedom in not caring anymore. Fuck 'em if they want to judge!

Savage!

In the month before her untimely demise Hobbes finally achieved her long held dream of murdering a squirrel. Those fuckers had been antagonizing her ever since we moved into the current house, and she had been hunting them for 5 years. I gave her 0 chances given the speed of the squirrels and the size of her rump which kept her on the ground when they could flee up the tree. Shouldn't have sold kitty short though, she eventually left a decapitated squirrel in front of the bedroom door. So proud of her.

[east or bust]

Just catching up on this thread.

So sorry about Hobbes, Boissal. That is majorly rough.



We’re cat sitting for a family that has 6 cats. Each one very unique personality. 4 black cats, a grey tabby, and a calico.
