#The Landlord’s Cats

[fyeahcindie]

It's been a long time since we posted them, but let's have a listen to 房东的猫 The Landlord's Cats. =D

(I always thought the Eng. name was The Landlord's Cat, but it's plural on their promo. Singular on IG.)

Indie Folk duo fr. Wuhan, China  吳佩嶺 (少年佩)-gtr & 王心怡 (小黑)-voc. This song should really appeal to fans of Cheer Chen. The MV was posted in February of this year.

so, for anyone who saw my previous post tonight one of our pipes burst which has caused a great deal of damage to a lot of our house. we're doing all we can to try and clean up on our own but if anyone can help by donating that would be immensely appreciated. i spent the last few hours alternating between wanting to cry and scooping water into our bath to try and minimalize the damage.

i'll add the link here and some photos under the cut so people can see what has happened.

Hi!

I'm interested in fostering, but am a renter. Because rental companies are not known to be reasonable, I think it unlikely that I could get official permission to foster with terms that wouldn't screw me over, though my apt does allow cats.

I normally wouldn't think twice about lying to subvert an obviously bad system (and taking full responsibility if I was caught), but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something that would have consequences for the rescue as opposed to me personally if my landlord discovered my unsanctioned fostering. Slash whether this is even feasible or if rescues take foster background checks seriously enough to immediately uncover my deception.

If you don't feel comfortable answering a q about how to get away with duplicitous behavior I totally understand. Thanks!

Yeah, this is very far out of my wheelhouse. I'm not a lawyer and I don't handle home placements--- I can say that you are very likely to be found out because most places actually WILL call your landlord to ensure you do have permission to foster or adopt. I can't say ALL places do this, but many do.

Rescues also talk to each other and share names. Lying is a quick route to a blacklist that could go VERY wide.

look, if you want to foster, just ask your rental company. Yeah, they might say 'no' or give you unfavorable terms. That would suck. But it would suck WAY MORE to be blacklisted by rescues in your area.

Hay It's Getting Cold Out

“The fuck?” Ian’s words stumbled from his lips as he walked into the apartment to find straw littering all over the kitchen floor.

Mickey’s head peeked up from behind the kitchen island and he ducked back down.

“Mickey why does our apartment look like a barn?” Ian walked over to the kitchen island and found Mickey on his knees surrounded by straw and plastic storage bins.

“I’ll clean it up.” Mickey muttered as he picked a knife up and jammed it into the bin, sawing a square into it before punching it through.

“What are you doing?” Ian asked trying not to sound accusatory but not being sure if he was succeeding.

Mickey paused and looked up at Ian, “It’s getting cold out, it's going to get colder this weekend, like below twenty degrees out.”

Ian raised an eyebrow, “Yeah, and we live in Chicago, this happens a lot in the fall and winter.” 

“Well, I wanted to do something for Clawdia, but everything I was looking at was super expensive. But then I found this do it yourself thing and it would only cost about ten bucks.”

“Claudia?” 

Mickey grimaced, “Clawdia, the cat that has the missing leg that hangs out around the pool in the summer.”

“You named her Clawdia?”

Mickey groaned, “Yes I named her, yes I’ve been feeding her, and no I don’t want her to get cold this winter, so I’m making her this cat house. But when I went to ordered the straw to get delivered I thought a bale was only like a pound or two, turns out it’s a fuckton. So I’m making more than one for any of Clawdia’s friends that get cold this winter and want a nice warm box.”

Ian felt his lips curve up in a smile, “That’s so s-”

“Fuck off Gallagher.” Mickey huffed sinking back down to keep sawing at the plastic bin.

“You know if you wanted a cat-”

Mickey groaned, “Fuck OFF.” 

Ian looked at the mess and shook his head, he went to the bedroom and put his phone on the charger before digging into the closet and grabbing another knife from the closet.

He came back into the kitchen and sunk onto the floor across from Mickey.

Mickey eyed him as he grabbed another one of the storage bins and stabbed the knife into the side before sawing a line into it.

Ian glanced up at Mickey and grinned as he sawed the square out of the bin and punched it through.

Together they made six cat shelters, even with each one stuffed full of hay they still had a good amount left over.

“How about we go to the hardware store and get some wood? Make a big shelter for the rest of the hay?” Ian suggested when they finished sweeping and bagging the remainder of the straw up from the kitchen floor.

“I didn’t want to make it a big project.” Mickey sighed tying the bag up and shoving it aside.

“I know, but I’m sure we can budget it enough to make it work, besides what else would we use the hay for?” Ian asked with a laugh.

Mickey smirked, “Well, there is that fantasy about doing it in the loft of a barn in the hay.”

Ian’s laugh slipped from his face and he looked at his husband sternly, “We are NOT putting that hay in our bed.”

Mickey laughed reaching up and cupping Ian’s face with his hands, “C’mon Carrot Farmer, you know you need to make sure the stable hand is doing the chores.” 

Ian let Mickey pull him into a kiss before gripping his wrists gently, “No way. Now let’s get these ones out to Clawdia before it does get cold out.”

Mickey rolled his eyes, “Spoil sport.”

“Well we couldn’t have done that at a better time.” Ian muttered as he looked at the picture Mickey had sent him.

Clawdia the three legged cat in one of the shelter boxes with four little puffy kittens around her.

“You know, that extra room we have would make a good nursery.” Mickey mused over the phone.

“No way.” Ian’s voice was firm, but when he looked at that photo again he felt his heart melting.

“Only Clawdia, and only her kittens. And once they’re all old enough we’re getting them all fixed.”

“Glad you’re agreeable because I already brought them inside. And since we still had that hay I took out the drawers of the dresser and put some in each.”

The past 24 hrs for me: got home from working the weekend to house smelling weird and my cat dying, mouth blue, blood on him, drooling. Emergency vet, he’s hospitalized. While at work at 1 am i have ti leave, call the electric company, there are several gas leaks in my house. Gas gets shut off. Gas leaks are frim furnace piping, furnace has been on a month, gas leaks have been happening for same time, ive been incredibly sick, tired and dizzy and my animals have been sick. We have the answer.

Alert landlord this morning, spend morning cleaning and listening to maintenance tear out ALL the old piping and replace it, get gas turned on, no more leaks! Call vet, cat is better and can come home!

Its been. Not fun.

Except for the fishing line I didn't have to buy anything for this so that was great.

Ok you know what? It's been a shitty couple of weeks, and everyone i know who's played it has seemed to enjoy it for the most part, so maybe I will just go ahead and give bioware my money after all and get da4 and go deal with some other world's problems for a while.

[tamagotchikgs]

it just sounded like there was screaming outside my house ?

[swagging-back-to]

okay wait im so conflicted rn

USamericans, have you ever been required to do a 'meet and greet' to introduce your dogs to a landlord before moving into a new apartment?

this assumes you have minimal to no rental history to vouch for the dog(s) and average credit

also please share what state/general part of the country you live in!
