What did you do Sunday? I got harassed by neighbors. Again.

I've been experiencing the joy of anxiety related insomnia. I never slept Saturday night or at any time on Sunday. Got some sleep this Monday morning.

Intentionally left the gate open. Woke up & saw these 2. Looks like they've decided OB gets the pillow next to me and Ween gets to curl up in my legs. I will NOT leave the house with them sharing space. When I leave the house, Ween will be on one side of the closed gate and OB on the other.

The bags under my eyes have bags and the headache I had yesterday is still here.

That's a left ear you're looking at. I know where these cats are coming from. I know this is one of 3 unaltered adults. The property owner where all these cats are coming from had committed to TNR but getting the kittens they had on their property into Burlington Animal Services was such a colossal cluster f**k the property owner said f**k it. I don't blame them. But it absolutely sucks I had a commitment from that property owner and now I don't because their experience - multiple interactions - with BAS was that frustrating.

I had a neighbor who worked for BAS - they transported the cats I trapped & paid for TNR. They no longer work for BAS.

- I don't want to TNR this cat but I will because nobody else in this community will.
- I don't have the disposable income for TNR, it will come from my gas or grocery budget because those are the only things that aren't actually a bill that needs to be paid.
- I'm sick & without coverage (no access to 9/11 medical) from the WTCHP for the 3rd year in a row - it always happens to me at this time of year.
- It's the time of year when my 9/11 PTSD & anxiety are working overtime against me.
- Bonus: I'm being harassed & bullied by adults in my community to the point I don't feel safe in my own home or neighborhood & have had to take steps to protect myself. It has absolutely adversely impacted my health. I just can't decide who's worse, the bullies or the treacherous cowards.

- I do not want to to go to BAS because NOT 1 SINGLE TIME has it been a stress-free experience. And I just don't need more stress right now. But there's nowhere else for me to bring a TNR. The cat has to be TNRd because it's starting fights with the TNRd cats, many of which are seniors.
- I'm going to trap this cat and make an appointment for TNR at BAS. If I'm on the receiving end of the same cluster f**k the property owner where all these cats are coming from was, if I get a ration of s**t AGAIN for not living in Alamance (BAS DOES NOT JUST SERVE RESIDENTS OF ALAMANCE!) I'm telling you right now, I'll be going thru the front f**king door and I won't be leaving till BAS either takes the cat for its scheduled appointment or calls the police to take me.

Don't get excited! 😂🤣 I haven't been feeling well, I've been sick, and I'm under a lot of stress. Cats sense these things. They may have called a temporary truce. In the wee hours of the morning, I went to bed & apparently left the gate open. I blame Mucinex nighttime. Anyway... woke up to this.

Will I leave the house with the 2 of them sharing space? NOPE!

Will I now *intentionally* do another overnight with the gate open? I think so.

If that works out, will I leave the house with the 2 of them sharing space? Wicked f**kin' NOPE!

Why? Because Ween is mean and OB's a bit of an as***le. He's still randomly trying to swat her. Oh, and he is suuuuuuch a jealous boy! 😂🤣

Black Cat Appreciation Day 🖤

Ween jumped into my vehicle late afternoon, Halloween 2009, in St. Petersburg, FL. No way was I leaving a black kitten outside on Halloween. I brought her home and posted her as “found” everywhere. Nobody claimed her.

At the time, I didn’t even want a cat—I’m allergic. But every call to every shelter ended with the same heartbreaking answer: she’d most likely be euthanized within 2 weeks. Black cats and dogs were (and still are) the least adopted, the first overlooked, and the first to be killed. I couldn’t let that happen.

This October marks 16 years together. We’ve lived in 4 states, in 6 different homes. I’ve struggled to make ends meet, gone without, so Ween would always have what she needs. Now at 16, with stage 1 renal failure, her prescription food costs are obscene—but I made a commitment.

Ween is my family. She is my responsibility. When I see people rehoming their pets, it makes me angry. Pets depend on you. They trust you. They need you. If I can make a lifelong commitment under my circumstances, anybody can—and everybody should.

Ween may be nicknamed “Mean Ween” or “Meanie Weenie,” but she’s still my girl. And I’ll keep showing up for her, every single day.
