For this to have been my Last Straw

[Scarletskies]

We've had a difficult few days within the context of a difficult couple of months for a number of reasons- parental illness, work etc. Today for some reason I seemed to reach a particularly low ebb in the office and have found it an uphill struggle to get to the end of it.

I am not a crier. But I've just got home and having suspected our neighbours have been feeding our cat, saw them calling him and then letting him into theirs and I've just burst into proper sobs.

After all of this now the little traitorous ginger bastard has abandoned me too.

Self indulgent rant over- tell me to get. a. Grip.

Here's a grip - and a tissue, a glass of wine, a big box of chocolates and a .

Dry your tears, get into your jammies, assume your favourite position on the sofa, repeat "it will get better, it will get better", and go easy on yourself

Tell the cat to go fuck himself, have a stodgy supper, slob on the sofa and tell yourself that you are amazing. And if that doesn't work, open the wine.

Go next door, demand your cat back whilst fantasising about punching your thieving neighbours lights out and come home and eat chocolate

Our cat left us for the neighbours too, I am devastated and feel betrayed. I know he's just a cat bit he was our cat the disloyal, fickle, traitorous fur ball.

Have a night on the sofa with a box of choccies and think of the money you will save on cat food, flea treatments, worm tablets etc.

I've been down and demanded the cat back, but am withholding any eye contact from him. DP swears blind they're 'being helpful'. Cynical me- I know that is just not the case.
Thanks chaps I think some bake off and an early night will do the trick

What did they say when you went to see them?

Sorry you're having a crappy time. :(

They are not being helpful. Feeding another persons cat is akin to poaching. Bollocks to them - tell them its your cat and he requires a specialist vet prescribed diet and the shit they feed him will poisen him.

Oh and have some wine.

You never feed a cat

Poor you

TidyDancer she said he'd been crying outside the door, and that when he's been in theirs for ages they 'do let him out'

I just said rather you didn't, he's confused.

You never feed a cat! Unfortunately said cat is fluffy, cute looking and fairly stupid so no doubt the whole street is feeding him.

I feel guilty now as i always let the neighbors cat in. He likes to hang out with my cats, have a little snack and then then go out to play together.
