Hey, if you're a minor and you're following my blog, I just need you to be aware:

You have been on this earth for fewer years than my cat has.

She turns 20 this week, everyone please say happy birthday 🥳💖

Don’t judge her, she probably couldn’t afford adoption papers

I work at a humane society shelter, and this does happen occasionally. usually cats won’t “steal” the kittens, they’ll hear them crying and stick around and if a momma doesn’t come around they’ll take them somewhere safe and try to care for them

we recently had a very confused lady who called that her cat was trying to take care of an astounding 8 kittens and brought them in

the kittens were obviously malnourished, and we looked around her neighborhood and sadly found the dead mama, she got hit by a car

it’s a really useful thing that cats will do

sometimes the mom will just have gotten lost and will come back to try and find her kittens and so that can be frustrating, but considering how rough it is for stray kittens, it’s a lot better for them to be in a household and cared for where the parent cat can get guareenteed food and shelter

I can’t tell you how many abandoned kittens we find that can’t make it

it sucks a lot

anyway tangent done

I just 😭😭 I love cats a lot

to everyone who is losing things like concerts and senior proms and commencements and brunches they’d had planned forever and literally anything they’ve been looking forward to i’m sorry. i really am. it sucks and i’m sure there will be people in your life who will tell you to get over it because others have it worse right now and while it may be true that others have it worse that doesn’t make your pain, disappointment, or sadness any less real or valid. keep your head up.

my sister’s wedding was just cancelled by the venue. when I told one of my friends how upset she was and how heartbroken we all were to have worked and planned so much, she just said “well, it’s good.”

i understand that there is illness and people at risk, but the callousness of it shocked me, just as she was unmoved by my other sister being sent home her senior year, losing her research job, putting all the cells in the freezer, three years of work, her thesis, graduation -

“oh, everyone is doing that.”

your loss is valid. god and even if you are hearing about someone’s “inconsequential” thing they loved - a concert, a brunch - you don’t know if that’s the thing they’ve been sticking around for or not. so just like fucking chill and be kind: it hurts for everyone, in different ways. you aren’t being selfish for losing something you loved.

When I was in high school especially, I was so depressed and anxious that the only things keeping me going were small milestones like seeing a certain movie. If I hadn’t gotten to walk at my graduation,or lost everything I had been looking forward to, idk. It would have been worse than heartbreaking. Today, I have people who love me, and I’ve been able to separate myself from those who made my life a hell. I don’t need these small things to keep me going. I can take the blows now, even if they’re bad, because I know there are better things to come. Not everyone has this luxury.
