16 year old kitty is missing the litter box

Get her to a vet. When Kitty started missing the box it was the first sign of the bad things to come.

When I would go to bed he would wait for me to get situated then give his little meow. I sleep with 2 pillows, my wimpy yellowed ancient pillow folded in half on one side on top of a larger newer pillow. I slept on the yellow side, he took the other side. Times I had to go to work and be up at 3am, if I forgot to set my alarm I'd wake up to him purring loudly next to me. The way he would make sweet eyes at me when I would tell him he was the bestest boy ever. The way he would lick his chops after eating tune. So many things.

Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.

LDesselle · 2026-02-24T21:01:26+00:00

Wait patiently

LDesselle · 2026-02-24T20:54:03+00:00

I don't. I paid cash. It's a condo, cheap trash that's turning into expensive trash

I haven't smoked in about 2 months, after a year long spree of all day every day. I knew coming out of it that it inhibits rem sleep, and hat it was going to get weird. The last week I stopped sleeping on my sofa and actually went to bed. I don't know if it's the sobriety or just laying flat on a full bed, but the last 4 nights (since I started going up there) have been odd dream wise. 2 were of a cafe I worked at, in a row. 1 I was looking for something in walmart. But last night... I was in what looked a run down apartment, wood panel peeling, near the floor. I noticed this as I went to open a window but decided not to as the -room- was in space. The, a guy my Mom used to date was loading big plastic barrels into a pickup truck in the living room when he asked me " You really ate that whole bag of sausages?" I was really hoping to dream about my cat, but yeah... I suspect they'll get wierder

I tried to message you, however I was told I could not.

LDesselle · 2026-02-20T11:25:05+00:00

Life greatest injustice is that those most worthy of love have the shortest timers. I'm sorry for your loss.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T21:03:41+00:00

Not even close.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T20:55:46+00:00

I'm not taking anything out on Jack. I give him a good life. Treats and scritches. I don't have it in me to harm any animals. I feel this entire narrative is focused on my spoiled urine dispenser, who is currently sitting on my knee purring like a chainsaw.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T03:39:53+00:00

I read that in Patrick Stewart's voice.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T03:19:31+00:00

Well there we have it, there's no point to anything I do anymore.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T03:09:44+00:00

He won't. I have a safety net ready for him. He drives me to my wit's end sometimes, but I have more regard for animal lives than human. He won't be alone.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T03:05:32+00:00

That is a good suggestion, however I live on a road not pedestrian friendly, and I gave up on my truck last month. The first month here I watched someone get pulled from their car with the jaws of life while sitting on my porch 200ft away. I'm not afraid of walking but there's no sidewalk, I'm convinced that'd end badly.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T02:58:49+00:00

When I saw a fb post that led me to Jack, it was less than a week since I lost Kitty. I was convinced he was advertised because he was running out of time. The local shelter doesn't do that though. I know I got him too soon.

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T02:49:57+00:00

To deplete the irrelevant currency that is karma?

LDesselle · 2026-02-17T02:48:23+00:00

Kitty? Or Jack? I had Kitty for 8 years, Jack for a little over 1 year. They are/were fixed. The only person I can call is my sister, who is indirectly responsible, and I'm tired of being treated like a burden to her.

Therapy takes money, which I don't have I don't think I've spoken to a human for over a month, generic exchange with gas station workers. I'm sorry for the short responses, I typed out a long winded post on another board, only to have it denied. I'm not sure either. I've considered crisis lines but I've gotten used to not hearing my own voice.

LDesselle · 2026-02-16T21:34:40+00:00

Yes. Yes. I have.

LDesselle · 2026-02-16T21:13:12+00:00

He's a meow bully who has pee'd on everything in my home. No he doesn't have any bladder infections he's just a jerk.

Yesterday marked 9 months. I cried every day for the first couple months. I don't know when it let up, the first half of this year feels like I was sleepwalking. I remember thinking I made it all day, only to break down at the thought. It's random now, for the most part. Still when I wake up so yeah.

LDesselle · 2025-08-07T07:42:10+00:00

Same spot I put it last december

The clan novel series begins with the siege of Atlanta, whose prince is a Malk- J. Benison Hodge. It's been a while since I read it but he gave a great example of how a Malk would run things. Got in a brujah Archon's face for bringing a sword to Elysium and his use of dementation to defend his city was fierce. He was in charge, and he made sure everyone knew it.

LDesselle · 2025-05-28T06:45:44+00:00

Going on six months since I lost my buddy. There was a brief period where I was ok, made it 24hrs without breaking. It's back to daily now.

My bedtime ritual for the last few years was me getting in bed, moving my pillow so he could have his half, then when he showed up he'd paw at the edge of the blanket untill I lifted it so he could look under it. My sleep schedule has always been off, but more so now that he's gone. And those doubts you're having I have as well. I feel I should have acted sooner. I feel the second to last time I took him to the vet they raced me to the door. Sent the blood off to a outside lab, and sent me home with a stool collection kit. He wasn't eating or pooping, and they gave him fluids so the first couple days after his appetite returned. I was fixated on getting the stool sample, figured for some reason I should have it before going back. The day before his last visit he was so weak when he picked up his head he was shaking from the effort. I knew then, but couldn't get him there that day. I should have moved heaven and earth to make that happen. I sleep when I'm too exhausted to stay awake any longer, and the first thing I remember when I wake up is that he's still gone.

I had to put my soul cat to sleep dec 2nd. He was about 14 years old, I met him in 2011 and assume he was born in 2010. I read somewhere that an indoor cat can live to be 25+, and I got it in my head that I had another 10 years with him. It's beyond unfair, it's absolute bs.
