I should be doing chores but Melbcat and I are having a lie in. She’s being the little spoon between me and the computer.

I did throw some washing on when I had to get up so that counts!

Edit: Also I cracked the doors to air the house and reseeded some of the cat grass. Need to buy more seeds

I would love that.

If only

Oh god if only

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.

Yup.

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.

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

Nice!

Some purple toner or shampoo might help? Also 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)
