I thought you would all like to know that the Emotional Bleed thread has just inspired me to this out loud:

"Your feelings are valid. Your behavior is not."

To my cat.

@insomniac7809 left for work and every time he does, Pasha feels the need to sit in my office literally screaming for at least ten minutes. No amount of comforting him will work. No amount of treats or attention will soothe him. Even as I cuddle him and give him snacks, he feels the need to vehemently shout at me about how I am insufficiently my husband.

....Basically I'm in an emotionally abusive relationship with a neurotic nine pound cat.

Wretched

@Aria I too am the cats favorite in my house.

Auspice

I wish someone would be my cats' favorite. For even a day.

Dozens of toys. A cat tree. But no, this damn 20lb asshole wants me to hold him ALL DAY LONG and will yell and dig claws into me when I don't.

(And people are all 'omg you're so mean to your cat' when I'm streaming and saying 'No' 'Stop' etc to him. I'M NOT MEAN I JUST WANT SOME TIME TO MYSELF.)

My kittens love me, but that’s because my love is a hard thing to get.

My oldest dog is... getting up there in age. Sometimes she takes a while to get up, she's pretty deaf, and she's clearly sore despite the pain medication.

I remember her as an overactive puppy pulling cables out of my walls and barely touching the floor when she had the zoomies and bounced from couch to couch. She used to jump up the bed and demand to be under the covers, but now she can't quite stand up with the weight of a blanket on top of her.

This might be her final winter. I don't know what's worse - having to make the call, or finding her gone.

Dammit all.

I think (and I say this with all the sympathy in the world) that hard ending is the real price for the years of happiness our pets give us.

May I offer a range of dogs? My mum's old man is visiting us while my mother is at my sister's during her chemo. He has made a nest, using every blanket from our blanket basket, and then squashed the basket to be a pillow. He has basically made a blanket fort to protect himself against the bitches. Also, have a boxer derp-face.

Then my sister's dog visited us, and you can see the look on my dog (white boxer)'s face.
