Like… tmi, but there was vomiting. So much vomiting. So I’ve been in bed ever since. Managed to shower this afternoon but that’s worn me out again. So I can pay for someone else to cook and bring me a burger and chips, damn it!

Ooh, can’t wait! And another fantastic cover, even if those coraniaids are rather freaking me out 😱

Well then even more reason you have nothing to feel guilty about! I hope you have a great time with your gran 💜

There’s a few dogs on our road, and there’s a few cats I see pretty regularly but I have no idea if they live here or if we’re just on their rounds. But the ones directly around us have been animal free til now, I’ve been peering over the road trying to see if they had any pets since they moved in 😂

Good. You give a lot to that place, you are more than entitled to your time off. Your gran’s birthday is more important, and if keeping the shop open for that one day is that important they can always send someone else. Absolutely nothing for you to feel guilty about at all.

How exciting! I love red kites, they were reintroduced right by where I grew up, I used to watch them out of my grandparents front window. Even now whenever I go back to visit family seeing them flying overhead means we’re nearly there. It’s never stopped being exciting to see them.

I’m sure she’ll love it! And a happier human makes for a happier cat so no doubt she’d be willing to make the sacrifice if she could understand that it’s for a good reason.

We are such terrible cat parents, don’t we know that they are the centre of the universe and we are only here to cater to their every whim! No doctor appointments, only cat cuddles!

Oh, Pixie you silly bean 😂
Sometimes Kisy shows her age but then she’ll have some post-poop zoomies at like 2am and leap between bed and tower like she’s still a kitten and I’m like ok you’re clearly doing fine!

And this is actually not bad bruising for me, once like a couple of solid square inches of my arm were bruised black and blue for weeks! That was really not fun.

I’m just worried that Kisy is sat at home yelling her head off for me. It’s the third time I’ve left her today and she will not be happy!

The saga of me trying to get blood tests continues. Had my blood taken at the hospital after a faff because the system thought I didn’t exist and now we are sat in the car park because the car battery is dead and we need to wait for AA to come and jump start us 🙃

Kisy is also very upset that I left her twice today and now I have to leave again!

Very thankful that I have mum who can drive me. There’s no way I could get to the other place on my own. Especially because the whole reason I need blood tests is because I keep randomly getting dizzy and nearly passing out while walking Luna!

She is now yelling at me because I very rudely ate my own pancake 🙃

I gave her a bit of pancake.
Tried to take a photo but she literally lunged for it so it was blurry 😂

Video description: 26 seconds of Kisy the black and white cat licking at a meaty yoghurt cat treat that is being held out for her as she stands on her human’s leg. She is making happy licking noises.

Also, I am a massive baby when I’m just a little bit sick or injured. It’s when I’m not complaining that you should worry 😬

Maybe I’ll see if I can get a blood test done in case I’m just anaemic again or something…
I hate getting blood taken though ☹️

Yes it sucks when one of us turns out to be human garbage. It hurts when the call is coming from inside the house, when someone becomes a new stick to beat the rest of us with. But when someone tells me they’re autistic, I will believe them. Always. Because they know themself a lot better than I do.

“Oh, they’re autistic therefore this abhorrent behaviour wasn’t really that bad” is not helpful.
But equally, “I don’t like this horrible person therefore they’re lying about being autistic” is not helpful.

Also, important additional information: she is doing the little twitchy thing cats do when they dream and her little paws keep doing a little flap 🥹
