hello to everyone and happy friday!

i had somewhat of a breakdown in the middle of night — the accumulation of everything i guess — so we have had a day off today. too windy to go out, but i've played lots of bg3 and sat with blankets and softfrens and eaten biscuits and cherries and had hugs and all.

we've also had an update re mao, who had a peaceful first night in his new home and is already making friends with the other cat there :blobcathearts:

i hope you're all having a good friday: what've people been up to?

take care hoomans :Blobhaj_Heart_Rainbow:

@moonrabbit@strangeobject.space avatar

@RolloTreadway thank you :Blobhaj_Heart:

how are you today?

i think it was that i could finally stop worrying about mao ... i've been going so hard trying to sort something for him and us and i just pushed myself way too far. it all came down at about 6am. like when people get sick as soon as the hols start, i guess.
but yes i'm feeling more stable now (although i keep randomly crying) and will try to take it easy over the week-end. ish. or something.

has your today been any easier than yesterday?

moonrabbit OP ,
@moonrabbit@strangeobject.space avatar

@RolloTreadway you're very right :Blobhaj_Heart_Rainbow:

and i'm glad that you're a bit better. goodness yes other people not being around to bother when you're trying to work is huge.

are you able to rest and relax this week-end? preferably somewhere with no pollen ha.

moonrabbit OP ,
@moonrabbit@strangeobject.space avatar

@RolloTreadway crap, i'm sorry. that all sounds not good at all. at least it's friday tomorrow?
is the work stuff affecting your sleep, do you think?

i'm empty. was up till 3am and have spent almost all day trying to find something for the stray cat, but no luck. i just feel broken about the whole situation really, especially as we learned today that our départment is on murderous tip when it comes to FIV cats.

plus we still can't find anything for ourselves and i'm not well, so it's a bit ... like that really.

plus it's so humid!

what's your weather like, villainous pollen aside?

moonrabbit OP ,
@moonrabbit@strangeobject.space avatar

@RolloTreadway thank you. hugs always welcome and available in return, if wished for.

we've just heard that the cat has found a home, so that is at least one amazing bit of overwhelmingly miraculous goodness.

but ugh to the hayfever making the legs worse. and to summer making the hayfever worse! does it last till autumn or will you get some relief when the current whatever is done whatevering?

🔥 please, this is a desperate post: can anyone in give a home to a gentle / timid FIV+ stray cat?

he's at the vet now getting treatment, but if we don't find a home by tomorrow midday, the refuge helping us will drop him back off here. we're moving internationally soon, have 2 cats already, and can't take him. (we've also been told we can't take him bc FIV.)

he’s a beautiful, sweet boy who deserves a good life.

please boost / SVP boostez

SVP, avec désespoir: est-ce que quelqu'un en qui peut donner un foyer aimant à un chat errant mais très gentil qui est FIV+ ?

il est au véto pour être traité, mais si nous ne trouvons pas un foyer avant demain midi, le refuge va le relâchez ici. nous déménageons hors de la france bientôt, nous avons deux de nos propres chats, et nous ne pouvons pas le prendre (et apparement c’est pas possible pour voyager avec le FIV). il est un garçon beau et doux qui mérite une bonne vie.

🙏 (dépt 16/24)

    aide urgente chat, SVP 🔥 :BlobCat_Flower :

    nous recherchons quelqu'un en qui souhaite offrir un foyer aimant à un chat errant. c'est un minou très doux mais très timide.

    nous déménageons prochainement à l'international, et ne pouvons pas l'emmener avec nous. nous avons déjà deux chats, et nous emménageons en famille / essayons trouver une maison à louer ; nous avons eu déjà des plaintes concernant nos deux. de plus, nous ne savons pas du tout comment nous pourrions voyager avec lui : nous pouvons à peine le toucher. :blobcattrès triste:

    nous essayons de l’attraper afin de lui faire soigner par le véto, dont il a un fort besoin, mais après, il sera déposé encore ici comme un chat libre par le refuge qui nous aide. et après nous sommes partis, qui s'occupera de lui ??

    si quelqu'un à distance raisonnable de la dépt 16 (charente) souhaite un nouvel ami doux et adorable qui a besoin de temps et de l’attention, faites-le moi savoir.

    SVP boostez, merci beaucoup 🙏

    urgent cat help request please 🔥:BlobCat_Flower:

    we are looking for someone in who can give a loving home to a stray cat. he's a very gentle but very timid boy; as far as we know, he's a local feral.

    we're moving internationally imminently and can't take him with us. we've got two cats of our own and are either moving in with family or going to a rental; we've already had complaints about our two. plus we have no idea how we could travel with him for several days given we can barely touch him. :blobcatverysad:

    we're currently trying to trap him so as to get him vet treatment, which he very much needs, but after that, he would just be dropped back off here by the refuge who are helping us. and with us gone, who will look after him??

    if anyone within reasonable distance of dépt 16 (charente) wants a sweet and lovely new friend who just needs time and attention, please let me know.

    please boost, thank you 🙏

    a grey and white cat with foldy ears and a cute, squashy face is sitting at a window. behind him are green grass and some shrubs, a white fence, a telegraph pole, and an old barn. this photo was taken last november. and while you can't tell from the pic, he's a wonderful, chatty boy full of personality. he's very timid and afraid of people, but not mean at all. just nervous. he loves his food though and will say MAO repeatedly until it is delivered to him. recently he's not been looking good at all, so we're trying to catch him and get him to a vet ASAP. he does not deserve a hard life and we're praying that we can find him a home.

    why do estate agents list houses and say in the listings that they're already fully booked for viewings? it's just wasting everyone's time and making me sad.

    happy week-end fedi folk :BlobCat_Flower: how are you all?

    i have left the house to go the chemist, where i was astonished at the cost of compression stockings and very glad that they were covered by healthcare. i managed to stave off the inevitable episode till we got home (not far) and have since had a lie down, but it occurred to me that i should've been wearing compression stockings while i waited for my compression stockings 😆

    i hope everyone has a happy saturday and gets at least some funtimes today.

    Asda's giant shrimps and bananas* are exceptionally good. I wish I'd bought more. The kings and queens of foam sweets, so smooth, almost creamy. Your everyday normal-sized shrimps and bananas are not on the same level at all.

    *the foam sweets, not actual shrimps and bananas. Although, who came up with the idea that, if the banana-flavour foam sweets are banana-shaped, then the raspberry-flavour foam sweets should be shrimp-shaped? Where did that come from?

    moonrabbit ,
    @moonrabbit@strangeobject.space avatar

    @RolloTreadway

    my brain:

    • did you buy shrimps and bananas together? is that a thing?
    • oh right, sweets.
    • why are shrimp sweets raspberry flavoured?
    • i didn't even know shrimp sweets were a thing
    • actually, what is a foam sweet?
    • when you say normal-sized shrimps and bananas, so you mean the actual things that are shrimps and bananas?
    • are the sweets smaller? they must be smaller. but they are kings and queens so they rule us all, ack!!!

    all of that aside, i'm glad you like them. treats are always good, especially when they're much needed, which it sounds very like they are.

    i'm going to go have a lie down.

    moonrabbit ,
    @moonrabbit@strangeobject.space avatar

    @RolloTreadway i have not. although i wouldn't have identified those as shrimps or bananas (pale baguettes and ... things?), so i clearly know nothing 😆
    but i'm allergic to most things that people put in their faces, so that may well be why.

    so those are the giant ones? do they come together?

    I've been watching two baby starlings sitting on the seed in the feeder, trying to figure out how it works.

    One has been giving it a go, thrusting his beak around, although I'm not sure he actually managed to swallow anything.

    The other just sits there yelling for parental assistance, and occasionally trying to put his beak on the feeder itself.

    I assume parent is watching from a safe distance to see if the babies will figure it out themselves.

    Morning everyone. It's June, so I turned over the calendar. Does anyone want to see the picture for this month? It's a pair of great tits. I hope everyone enjoys looking at great tits.

    A picture of a calendar, although most of the month is out of shot, the image is centred on the month's picture. This is a couple of great tits - small birds, very pretty, buff yellow and green with grey and black wings, and striking black and white heads. The two are sitting on a mossy wooden fence, the one on the left has food in its mouth and the one on the right has its mouth open in expectation. The background is plain green.

    @RolloTreadway i expect that certain sorts of men and bears would be delighted to encounter great tits in the woods. i expect some men (probably not bears) employ binoculars for just that purpose.

    I turned on Channel 4 to watch Taskmaster, which starts soon. There's the end of some property show.

    The people had a nice, homely, colourful house. Needed a bit of spit and polish, sure. But basically pleasant.

    And now every room is white. With white cabinets and white shelves. White white white white white. Everything is completely and utterly and inhumanly plain.

    And now they're talking about how a place can be 'perked up'?! There's no perk! They've taken away any hint of character and humanity!
