It's not really funny anymore, these five kittens, quickly becoming teens, half feral, destroying everything in my former bedroom. They have broken the computer speakers permanently, broken parts on the printer, bitten through wires, destroyed a phone and thrown up on the few books I have left. I am so sick of it. I want them gone.
They have pulled clothes off their hangers in my closet and those clothes have ended up in the litterbox. I want them gone. And if I ever see any members of that old woman's family they're going to see my middle finger.
I have too many cats here and nowhere for them to be. I am really sick of it. They've vomited and crapped on the mattress, the crap one those people dumped on me, saying they were bringing a box springs, frame and head board, too, but never did. That was two months ago. Now I have to pay to have it hauled away.
I want this old disgusting dresser with the tiny narrow drawers that are basically useless except to hold one pair of jeans each, I want it gone, too.
People dump their crap on me. I'm sick of that. But mostly I want these five teens gone. I want part of a life back. They have broken major pieces off this keyboard. these is nothing safe and no way to keep anything safe from them. I want them gone. Gone. Gone. Gone.
I no longer have anywhere to relax in my own place. My lamp is broken. My alarm clock is broken. Can't even think of replacing them, because they'll be broken once again. I am really totally tired of it.

Wow. I feel for you. I wish I could do more. I'm truly sorry it's so bad. "This too will pass," sounds like damn little to offer at times...
ReplyDeleteThis isn't only touching to read, it's SO well-written. Poetic almost.
ReplyDeleteI too wish I could help more but I am so far away! The internet is a curious network - so near and yet so far!
ReplyDeleteThis is likely a silly question even to I tell my "kids" or parents there is no such entity. But do you not have another room where you could keep them so they do not get into your things- tho if they are like my meezers and cats I have had in the past, they learn to open doors, break one's fav vase (but to me that was just an object and she was just a kitten who managed to get out of my bedrrom). You have so many! You almost need an addition to your home to "house" them - a home within a home so you can socialize them (I am not fond of the word "tame" - sounds like taming wild things and cats to me can be feral but with some love and caring, eventually I have yet to meet cat who will not be socialzied to some extent tho as you know, it all depends on the degree of sepeation from so called civilization and the no. of generations since they have been feral (these days, usually not that many).
I wish all your readers lived near - we could form a committee and raise money. Can we not do that anyway? It is not as if we do not know you - people know of your work and it is recognizd by people that matter - your vet and Poppa. There must be some foundation somewhere. If others want to get involved, I'd gladly write a grant proposal.
Don't let it get to you though I know it is tough and you feel lonely sometimes. We all do I suspect. I know I do, sometimes even when I am surrounded by people.
Take care!!! I am finally in the other country - have a cat sitter and I see them every night. On the webcam and they meow or yowl, being the natural meezers that they are -wondering why meomy is over here!
Hadassah is a wonderful hospital and we treat Israeli and Arab children equally. Just wish the world could be more like that - and then I hear things like some Fla woman wants all Jews to be sent to the ovens a la Hitler and my cousins are dodging missiles fom Hamas who think all it's open season on all Jews and Israelis!
I will still treat everyone equally. That group (Hamas) can't even care for its own people, using them as sheilds and then using them on TV. One man, a Presbyterian guy, a good person who does good work, told me tonight he figures Hamas had it planned for months. He is probably right, sighhhhhhhhhhh!!! Makes me wonder what kind of world we live in. (and also I thought we'd see no more dicators of the sort who killed so many of my relatives. My grandfather rec'd a Bronze Star for partcipating in DDay (US Army Doctor) and was one of the 1st to treat the Halocast victims (loathe that word but it comes to mind a lot lately). I cannot begin toimagine what he would think. The Greatest generation thought they had vanquished evil but as Edmund Burke so eloquently opined, "Evil flourishes when good men do nothing. (I'd say people to be "pc" (g) ) To be accurate, he stated, "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing" It sure is floursihing with Hamas - killing and injuring their own children and then blaming the IDF!! If I ad not heard from the kids theselves as part of Medecins sans Frontiers
(Drs without Borders msf.ca), I never could have thought of it. Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!! I wonder how they treat their cats! (Hamas, not msf!!!!)Gawd!!!!!
