Last night trying to sleep

Me @me: Well my mom still hasn’t returned the $500 I loaned her out of my grad school fund. This is the second time she’s asked to borrow money from it too. Obviously she doesn’t believe in me going back to school any more. Not that u disagree. It’s been 5 years since I graduated. The world’s on fire. I don’t even know what I want anymore. I’m probably never getting there, stuck in this dead end job with crappy insurance. What’s even the point anymore? My life is a waste-

Ray-Ray (my cat): *CHIRP!* *stomps over to me* *body slams my face* *purrs obnoxiously loud*

Me: Good point.

I am crying. Look at this little pumpkin loaf.

I went to go pet him and I didn’t notice until I was about 6 inches away that he’d loafed himself and I just lost it.

Why is he so cute?!?!????

Hey guess what I have….

I have two fully vaccinated kitty cats.

I took Horatio and Nebula to the low cost vet clinic this morning. They were way overdue. Tbh I’m not sure Ray has ever gotten his shots. I know. I’m a terrible cat owner. But I’ve been broke for so damn long and they never go out. But it still needed to be done.

I am so proud of them though. There were some kitty tears ngl. Nebula especially voiced her displeasure at being stuffed in a box in a car then being stuck outside surrounded by loud and nosy dogs. Ray mostly curled up in his crate and played If I Can’t See You You Can’t See Me. Poor guy.

There was one really old black lab named Ike who wanted to come over and sniff the cats. He was super calm about it and his owner told me that he has cats at home and can’t stand to hear them cry and wanted too see if Nebula was okay. It was really sweet. Then there was a really young…idk kelpie maybe? Could of been a German shepherd idk. It was in a harness but its owner kept letting it stick its face in my cats’ cages but not calmly like Ike. And she’d scold it but not put much effort into holding the dog back. Also the owner would not stfu the. Entire. Time. We. Were. There.

*EDIT BECAUSE TUMBLR ATE HALF THIS POST WTF*

We finally got inside. The whole thing is a temporary clinic, so it’s just one room and they bring the animals in a few at a time. For the cats, they had me go into the bathroom so if they bolt, they won’t get far. The vet used the changing table as a makeshift exam table and had me pull them out one at a time. And guys….

They were GREAT. 

I figured they’d squirm or scratch or try to escape. I was seriously worried Ray would bite. But nope. They let me pull them out without a fight and sat there and got their shots without a bit of fuss. They even let her give them their dewormer, which is administered orally without any problems. 

We went back out into the room, and I’m not going to deny I felt a surge of pride knowing all three of my fur babies were so brave about getting their shots. Though I did wait until we got to the car to tell the cats how proud I was of them that they were braver than the kelpie that had been messing with them.

And they were calm as can be on the ride home. I think they were grateful to be away from all the dogs and people. I also expected them both to hide under the bed and hate me for hours, but no. Nebula snuggled with me on the bed, and Ray has stayed nearby. 

Gold Stars for both of them.
