Oh Brilliant. My cat puts her head in the fridge though! I wonder if she is part dog.
I just did a thing on cats being depressed in the winter months if you want to use this Therese. I will use this next year..... \
Happy New Year to you and all your readers- and their wonderful friends in fur.
Hi Therese,
I hope you see this. I read in your profile that you can't respond to everyone - but I think you said you check all your comments here. I have been coming to Bnet since 2005. I may have changed my screen name once or twice over the years attempting for a second chance to fit in better and make a friend or two but that has never happened. I have all sorts of minor problems and have tried all sorts of self help and therapists with no luck. I've always had problems my whole life but it's a downward spiral that gets worse every day. Eveytime I think it's looking up I end up going downwards again. I keep hoping for rock bottom but that never comes. It's like an abyss. It's not a preception. It's real. I have a daughter, 19 months old, and I want her to be normal. I have no friends. I try moms groups and all sorts of things but it's always fake and fleeting and in the end, I have absolutely no one. I'm used to rejection and I'm used to being all by myself so I'm not the type person who would try to occupy all your time but I was just wondering if you would consider corresponding with me a little bit because I think we have some things in common by what I've read that you've written through the years. A lot of people here on Bnet come and go. Something always happens and they abandon me. And it hurts even though it's only over the computer and not the real world. It hurts the same way the real world does. I was just wondering if you would be interested in talking to me from time to time. I sure could use a friend and I would try to be a good to you. My email is valtjd@aol.com.
Hope to hear from you,
Cynthia
THANK YOU all so much I really needed the colorful takes on the world I just got. My "boarding" house for friendly critters and I feel much better. I can go crawl back on my favorite recliner and call the layers of furry friends back on top. From bottom to top Under the Red lap blanket at my knees is a very insecure Chihuahua and a know it all Rat Terrier. Next floor up on moms soft shelf is the old grouchy toothless long haired black (OK so he's now grey) cat in all his grumpy old man glory sprinkled around are the last 3 kittens from the deceased neighbors litter of 8 and we all wish you a very happy new year
I laughed until I almost peed my pants. Reminds me of our dog, Sparkie, who passed at age 18. He was famous for eating poop out of the cats' litter boxes. Sigh. I miss him, tho'. Blessings to all.
Did you follow our German Shepherd around?? I never laughed so hard, she does all these things, but you forgot one, keeping out of the garbage can
