    Fuck I love south park. The other one that kills me is the one with Brittany Spears missing half her head. Okay, that sounds terrible when written, and it is, but it's also funny

    Bit of a rough morning.

    Chilli powder yesterday went well. 8 hrs @ 60c in the oven. Air purifier maxxed out lol. End up breathing it in, and then also it goes through 2 latex gloves and absorbed through skin. Stuff is pure fiyah.

    Gonna do another batch today as some weird form of self flagellation. Gonna keep the windows open for this one.

    Mickey has just been very needy, if we're moving around he gets angry and starts swiping my legs until I sit down and let him in the oodie or on my lap/chest. He's been sleeping on our bed as well, when during summer he'd be in one of his cubbies or stretched out on the floor.

    Anyone else dislike mint as a flavour? Like, peppermint or spearmint chewing gum or tic tac, or toothpaste, minty ice cream, and god damn it keep it away from my chocolate.

    I don't mind it as the herb or whatever, it's just the flavouring.

    spoilerWell the RSPCA were useless :/

    I can lodge a welfare report but either they talk to the owners which will land me in the shit and likely nothing changes, or thereโ€™s a slim chance of him being taken away to the shelter. Neither are great outcomes.

    The other alternative is I talk to them but in my experience they wonโ€™t take it on board. They tend to just get defensive or hostile and donโ€™t change. Iโ€™m trying to draft an email that will let them know he needs vet care that wonโ€™t make them feel judged or put them offside butโ€ฆ I canโ€™t.

    Or I confine him for 2 weeks to ensure ringworm treatment is completed and then release him hoping heโ€™s healthy enough not to just contract it againโ€ฆ but thatโ€™s dicey as legally heโ€™s someone elseโ€™s property and itโ€™s a big undertaking for me. That would essentially be a ringworm foster which even experienced able bodied foster carers donโ€™t want to take on, carries the risk of reinfecting me and my house, with the added seasoning of potentially igniting a neighbour feud and getting fined.

    I have no idea if the cat flu would resolve without treatment or if heโ€™d have it chronically. And due to a history of fighting and a torn ear he may possibly have FIV (cat version of HIV and usually means they need to be kept indoors).

    Fuck I hate neglectful owners. Theyโ€™ll allow a bad situation to develop where their animal is unwell and/or causing problems to others but youโ€™re the bad guy and youโ€™re the problem if you do anything about it.

    โ€˜mInD yOuR oWn BuSiNeSsโ€™

    Iโ€™d love to but itโ€™s affecting me negatively. Iโ€™m dropping my own money to fix this.

    Edit: Fuck it. I just sent back a really nice anonymous email saying itโ€™s great to hear heโ€™s not lost, I was concerned because xyz. Btw he very possibly has ringworm. Heโ€™s lovely, let me know if thereโ€™s anything I can do to help or look out for him.

    Boom. Hopefully they take him to the vet. Because I really donโ€™t want to break the law and undertake ringworm quarantine measures alone with a cat that isnโ€™t even mine.

    Mentioning that thereโ€™s a cat curfew might have helped them but definitely would have got their back up, and not been helpful if heโ€™s running away from a bully cat at their home.

    Now I have to do the rest of the deep cleaning and work out what to do with an expensive bottle of lime sulfur dip.

    I'm feeling a bit ucky myself today. Called in sick and went back to sleep for a bit.

    The nice thing about calling in sick on a day I expected to work is that all my meals are already prepped. As an extra bonus if I need it I have all those jars of chicken soup I made a few weeks ago ready to go.

    Looks like they're putting the elevator in next door. Single dwelling, 4 (I think?) stories. I dunno but it'd just feel weird getting in an elevator in your home (unless mobility concerns etc.). I have no idea what sort of person would live in that sorta place. Thankfully it's to the south.

    Renderings are up... Fuckn' wild:

    Saw the cat. He was kinda following me but by the time I got ready he was gone. Little shit.

    I should have just made the RSPCA report.

    Because Iโ€™ve gone through a decent amount of distress and disruption (not to mention expense) as a result of his โ€˜visitsโ€™ and donโ€™t even get the chance to help him.

    spoiler

    When I saw how rough he looked I took pity on him and fed him despite it upsetting my own cat. I gave him some of her good spot ons.

    I first discovered that heโ€™d infected me with ringworm in Melbcatโ€™s last week, right before she went into hospital for the last time and died. So instead of being able to relax with her before that I was frantically laundering everything to protect her health while she cried for me to come to bed. I came back long enough to settle her and then went back to working.

    Then I had to upend my entire house and deep clean the spores instead of having the time to mourn her. The infection still came back. I gave him her food.

    Then he was crying at my door on a rainy night so I removed all traces of her trying to get everything put in the other room and to create a warm dry space indoors if he needed one. I was stressing about finding him a safe home.

    Now he decides heโ€™d rather do whatever he wants and play funny buggers rather than be treated. And his shitty owners just donโ€™t care that heโ€™s out after curfew, sick and infectious, and hunting native birds.

    And if he comes back the potential for him to reinfect me or my house still remains.

    Screw me for caring I guess. This has made a hard stressful time even harder. I think Iโ€™m done trying to help anyone for a while.

    Hon, you're raging. It's normal. He's not the cause.

    Itโ€™s not his fault (itโ€™s the owners) but it was still a really shitty thing to go through right before and after my own cat died.

    I really didnโ€™t need any of this.

    so many hugs

    and he's just a cat, he can't read your mind or understand your words, if he could he would know you have a heart of gold

    If he wants to stay away and reject help he can do that. Iโ€™m so sad and tired.

    I avoided going into animal rescue or the veterinary field because I wasnโ€™t able to tolerate seeing the inevitable neglect and abuse. But one day if Iโ€™m ever in better shape I might volunteer to foster.

    After Melbcat I do have experience and skills with animals needing specialised care.
