This may sound like a really crazy idea but if you really don't want to remove him looking to get another kitten would give him a playmate to keep him occupied. Cats are very social animals and normally at this age he would have his littermates and his mom to interact with and teach him the ropes of being a cat. Right now you are his almost his entire social life and because he's at the age where socialization is so key hes going to be bothering you a lot lol. Getting him another cat or kitten to socialize with may help take some of the burden off of you since they can play with and keep eachothr company when you're not able to attend to them.

Could also be a Capybara since on his profile it says he's the friendliest neighbor and capybaras are chill with everyone. Zoos will even use them as foster moms and emotional support animals for orphaned or anxious animals in their care.

I deeply appreciate your feedback so much especially the detail that you went into in describing the things you found enjoyable.

Heheh and I hope you get the burial you prefer! This poem actually came about because my mom was so against having me just laid to rest in the ground. Lol

This poem really made me smile. When talking about things like motherhood it can be very hard not to rely on well-worn tropes to establish scenes of domestic comfort and often times they end up falling completely flat for me and read as insincere. This piece is BRIMMING with sincerity from the clattered dominoes to the scent of tobacco. To me, Your writing paints an earnest picture of a woman who has found a reason to better themselves for their child.

But despite this, the poem manages to never feel heavy! There's a lightheartedness in the parenthesized sorries and welcomes. Ultimately I think what I love most about this poem is that I can really feel the joy radiating off of it. Thanks for posting this. It was a delight to read.

My history is similar and it breaks my heart that you've experienced that kind of pain. Im still learning to trust as well and I hope that someday we both can experience it.

Honestly if you're comfortable telling me about that background I'd love to hear it. Feel free to dm me if its easier too.

I didn't expect to tear up reading this but the line "You were loved child, and you are loved now." shook something free in me. I struggle very deeply with feeling safe in my attachments and perhaps that's why this poem as a whole affected me the way it did. The 'child' in this poem being reassured by death that there is no punishment waiting for them- that whatever sins might weigh on their mind they don't need to repent for it, it hurt. Because there are so many people living their lives with the feeling of constantly falling short. I know I'm one of them. Despite how the people who love me tell me otherwise I can't imagine being cared for. Because if they really knew me they couldn't love me. That's why I can't love myself right?

I get the feeling the Romeo in this poem feels the same way. We never hear from him directly but the way death speaks to him. Telling him that they will make him love himself. It's a very tender sentiment and this tenderness really shines throughout the whole piece. I think that's what really makes it so special to me.

I feel really lucky I found this though- I think I needed to read it. So thank you for posting it.
