... Christ, today just has it in for you

Sleep well, Mary, hopefully things will pick up soon

[mscontrarymary]

Oh, I imagine so, just one of those days, you know? It'll probably get better from here.

Or I'll burn my office down. That could be the best way to deal with it.

Contrary to the internet's belief, dying in a fire is not always the answer

Cake might be, but not fire

I had cheesecake. It made me feel so much better.

Murphy liked it too.

I ended up keeping my loo-rolls on top of the towel racks. One pet-sitter 'helpfully' installed it for me. Then placed it back on top of towel rack after kitties had shredded it. Yes, up there for a reason!

Welcome to single-life-with-cat! Fun times ahead!

[mscontrarymary]

This is the current loo-roll though, I would really rather not keep them above my head. I might keep it on top of the cistern while he can't get about too easily though.

I just wish I knew *why* he hates loo-roll so much. Maybe it's the colour?

[alltoseek]

He doesn't hate it. He loves it. Looooooooves to play with it!

My cat chews on plastic bags. My dog licked rugs. Don't even try to understand.

I know why cats like plastic. Most sorts (especially carrier bags you get from the super market and the thin stuff that wraps a lot of packaging) are made with fish oils. The cats are just stupid enough to think they're eating an oddly-shaped fish.

haha what a comment to de-lurk for.

I don't even have to try. You are just that bad at life.

[mscontrarymary]

Thanks S. You're so supportive.

Says the man with the sprained/broken wrist from falling off a desk and who now refuses to wear the brace.

I once told a story about my cat who loved my space heater. She kept pawing at it, and I kept shooing her away; until finally I'd had enough, and decided to let her learn her lesson. I looked up again when I smelled burnt hair. She'd singed the fur on her paw (it didn't burn her pad or skin).

A woman sitting nearby exclaimed at what a bad pet owner I was for letting my cat get burned (her fur grew back! She wasn't injured! Sheesh). It was only later that night that I realised this was the same woman who had told about her dogs being killed by cars when the nearby highway was diverted closer to her home for road construction. This woman did nothing as one by one five of her dogs were struck and killed by cars. Didn't keep them inside, didn't put them on a chain, didn't put up a fence, nothing. And she had the nerve to critise me! My cat was fine! She never touched the space heater again! Whilst this woman's the proud

[cons_detective]

I'm wearing it now. Shut up. It hurts and I hate it and its horrible and it may actually kill me, just so you know. You can stop acting smug any time, now.

Check with the vet - he could be sick instead of/as well as spiteful.

[mscontrarymary]

He's been pretty okay since, and he's been pumped full of drugs recently. I'm just going to assume it's spite and that, but if it doesn't stop it's back to the vet's with him.
