So many years ago back when indoor/outdoor cats were the norm I had a beloved cat named Oliver who spent 5 nights a week snuggling with me and his days and bi-weekly midnight excursions beating the shit out of every other neighborhood cat, a few dogs, and one time a whole squirrel which he dragged inside and released. He once released a live snake in my bed as a gift. He was a psychopathic murderer but he loved people, gosh he loved people.
Because of the fact he was constantly ready to fight a bitch he was always coming home bruised and battered but victorious. After the 3rd or 4th $100 visit for the vet to drain an abscess the vet taught us how to drain and clean an abscess. As my mother was a nurse we got quite comfortable with the procedure.
So an important nighttime ritual was to give my cat a good thorough sniffing about the ears and neck for any suspiciously sweet smells (easiest telltale of an abscess) so that we could drain and clean it ASAP before we needed antibiotics. (Yes we should've tried to keep him in away from fights but it was a different time and my dad refused to have an indoor litterbox)
Now I have not had to find, drain, or clean an abscess on any pets for over a decade as my cats today are spoiled indoor darlings who wouldn't survive on the streets for a night much less 17 years.
However every night I still give each cat a few sniffs. Gang I was halfway to the bathroom for peroxide and a scalpel before I remembered I spent the day making chikki/ Indian mixed nut brittle and IM the one indelibly impregnated with the scent of sugar and sweat, not my cat.
Behold an innocent who would like me to stop sniffing her ears. And some really good chikki. I had no idea I was subconsciously checking for abscesses till I was hunting for the peroxide and trying to remember how long to disinfect a scalpel for 😂😂😂

Chances of your childhood cat reincarnating into a near exact replica of herself just to choose another lifetime with you are low, but never zero 💜
I love you both to the moon and back, my babies. Rest easy, sweet girl💜 I'll take care of her, don't you worry.

forgetting things about your childhood pets is quite literally the worse feelings imaginable
#childhood pet#I didn’t mean to forget so much#I can remember general things about them#but barely any specifics#I can’t really even remember what his face looked like#please photograph your pets more !!!!#you’ll need those photos in the future!!!!#that’s how they’ll live on after they’ve past

Oh Marley. You may have eaten magnets and for some reason hated walkies, but you were my good boy.
I miss you…

Seriously wonder how I'm suppose to keep going sometimes. Half of my heart is gone. I spent most of my life with him and the last like 4 years catering my every move around his diabetes and I'd glad devote sooo many more just to have him back. My heart aches so bad.
I feel like I'm annoying at this point so I'm just floating threw, and sometimes I am genuinely "okay" given the situation. But really I feel like I'm in a weird dream or in like a alternate reality.
I wish I could shut my emotions off.

Im tired as heck so you get zen rambles
So me, my sibling and my mom were at my grandmas house cues its my mom's birthday and my grandma's cat(named ella) came over to me and basically just let me give her pets and attention and idk why i suddenly remembered we had 2 stray cats that visited us when i was younger at 2 different houses so uh imma tell some stories about them, the first one was a orange tabby cat which kid me named Margaret(yes little me liked daniel tiger) and she would stop by once in awhile she did seem to trust me the most out of my family hiding from anyone who wasnt me(atleast from what i remember i dont remember much cues i was like 3 or 5 when margaret visited XD) and one day i was inside looking out a window and margaret came up with i think 2 little kittens which was wholesome, but uh after awhile she stopped visiting which kinda made me sad and uh the second cat was a black cat who at first we named raven but our neighbors named him magic so we combined the 2 names into mavic, and mavic first started visiting in like summer and sense my family didnt want him to overheat we started giving him water, food and some pets, but uh my dog very much disliked him XD so he would skitter off alot, he did come and visit the house for food and water and then leave but uh one day his little tuna dish was full(yes i know tuna isnt good for cats but we didnt fully know this) which worried me cues like he stopped by alot even if none of us saw him and he didnt come by for like a week and i still dont know where he is, which now that i think about these 2 cats again i miss them alot like sure we have alot of stray cats visiting our backyard now but like idk maybe my tired brain is just making me miss them but uh thats mainly it XD
