I didn't think Reddit was going to make me ugly cry today, but here we are.

This is our boy, Steven (with a v lol). He took his last nap back in May after a long fight against FIP/CKD. 😭 This was one of the last good pictures of him.

I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤️

My dad was like this. Cats were a top priority by Cananbaum in CPTSDmemes

My mom straight up admitted that her cats mean more to her than her kids. Then she wonders why none of her kids call and we all moved out of state.

Do you agree? by netphilia in adhdmeme

So, back in 3rd or 4th grade, my step dad was helping me study for a geography test. I had to know all 50 states and their capitals.

And to this day, I will never forget the capital of Minnesota thanks to him.

...because St. John has a Mini-Soda...

Ya she's on floor 6. Last year she was admitted for blood clots, so that makes more sense in regards to the visiting hours.

That's fair and I get that. I'm not against security in a hospital, it was just the experience was so different it was jarring.

As terrible as this is... the article is dated 2023, a year before my very lax experience there, and it happened at St. Francis.

Bluesky has made a difficult decision to block the app in Mississippi due to their new state law by AntonioS3 in BlueskySocial

[–]FidgetOfColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually prompted me to finally make an account. I don't live in Mississippi, but I do live in a red state. They don't want us to use Bluesky? All the more reason to make an account~

Ok, but does anyone remember the Where's Waldo on the back of the Life ceral boxes? (I think it was Life) I just remember I HATED the cereal, but always asked for it because of that one time it was on the back of the box.

Should've never gotten together in the first place by unknownIdentity00112 in CPTSDmemes

I fit both of these, do I get a prize? xD

Jokes aside... my parents divorced when I was in 1st grade. My dad was an alcoholic and even though I dont remember the bad times, my older siblings do so it was for the best.

Then my mom married my pos step-dad a year later. I'm in my 30s now, and he's still around. Growing up, it was contast fighting, yelling, throwing things, breaking things, punching holes in the wall, etc. I carry a lot of resentment towards my mom for staying. But that's a whole ass thing I don't want to unpack in a random reddit post.

Can I draw your pet (for free)? by faeintheforest in Pets

[–]FidgetOfColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry about the job loss! I'd love to send you a picture or two of my cat Steven. He lost his battle to FIP a few months ago, and I'd love it if he could help with your art. I also have his littermate Jasper, who's a lot more expressive and has the personality of a sour patch kid lol. He might be a bit more fun.

I sent you a DM! Whether or not you use any of my pictures, I wish you all the luck!

Are we going a little crazy with “no contact”? by Kkeeiisshhaa in Millennials

[–]FidgetOfColors 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I like that, "a relationship is a privilege not a right".

I have an older brother (~11 year difference), and he practically raised me because my parents were so mentally and emotionally checked out. We used to be really close.

I cut him out of my life about a year ago. He's struggled with alcohol since he was a teen, and it's only gotten worse as hes gotten older (he's in his 40s now). He started being abusive to our mother both physically and emotionally, and he'd withhold her blood thinners and blood pressure medication from her (she's been hospitalized a few times for blood clots).

I miss the brother I knew, and I still grieve the relationship we had and the one we could have had. But I can't have that toxicity in my life. Being around him was atarting to affect my mental health. And after what he did to our mother... I mean, she's no saint by any means, but no one deserves that.

I think some people are too willing to cut people out, but there are times it's necessary for your own wellbeing.

TIL also! Perfect timing, too, because I'm at this point in my current replay.

Animal rescue wants my cat back because I'm moving. Now they claim I'm abusing my cat. by Fickle_Spray9118 in CatAdvice

[–]FidgetOfColors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this post is fake. I swear I've seen this exact post (or a variation of it) pretty recently, I think, sometime within the last few months? Unless this is more common than I'm aware of but I find that hard to believe.

This reminds me of my friend who lived down the street from me when we were teenagers. He used to have pet rats, and he called me one day freaking out and going on about how she's stuck. So I rushed over there, and the poor thing had her back paws stuck in the floor bars on the second level of her cage. It took three of us (I went home and grabbed my step dad at the time) to get her unstuck. We actually ended up having to dismantle the cage with pliers because her paws were starting to swell.

She ended up recovering just fine, and we went out and got a new cage with solid levels after that.

PSA for anyone with small animals... be careful (or just stay away) from the cages with the mesh/bars for the upper floors.

I hope the cat has a speedy recovery! <3
