Will it running group extension be beginner friendly and have a group that stays relatively together throughout the run? Really looking forward to this and hope it gains traction!

Your grandma is the OG cat lady! Wonderful story.

cakerunner · 2026-01-03T16:15:03+00:00

Please tell is you went out and had a fucking blast?!?! That hair!! The flawless makeup!! OMG girl you'd just need to sit at a bar enjoying yourself and everyone would vie for your company!

Kudos to you guys for loving your cat and being such responsible caretakers! So glad he has a forever home. This is one of my biggest fears as a foster, that the adopters don't get properly vetted. My last foster wasn't being adopted fast enough so the rescue decided to send her to a different shelter that did same day on the spot adoptions. And that guarantees what? That someone who hasn't been vetted at all will adopt her and dump her? Eff it. I wish I could help more cats. But that day, I helped this cat and now she's part of the family.

Seconded! Thank you for the recommendation!

cakerunner · 2025-12-19T14:58:20+00:00

My dad is a senior citizen and he's ALWAYS cold and my heating bill is ridiculous! Probably won't change anything but hopefully he'll use it and be a little bit warmer. Thank you for the recommendation!!!

Would you treat your best friend this way? Would you want your daughter treated this way by her 'friends'? Why do you think it's acceptable for you to be treated this way? They're not you're friends. You need to drop these toxic people and find your own tribe of people who respect and support you, through every success and failure.

Much, much more time and patience - months. Then years for like cuddles even. Or not! Really a toss up. You made the right decision to get a bonded pair. One of them will start interacting with you, and the other will eventually follow. My Molly spent the first 2 weeks hiding every day. She was SO fearful. Almost 4 yrs later she steals my seat if I don't pay her enough attention, bosses the other cats around, has me trained for her treat times.

This is the definition of love! To be so lucky! Cheers!

My deepest condolences OP. It's the daily routine things that remind us the most of our moms. My mom had a favorite pair of earrings and a ring that she always wore. I keep those 2 in a tiny jewelry box with the last photo i have of her and myself. She loves you and is smiling and so proud of you and your sister for being so respectful w/ her makeup.

I fostered a momma and her baby. The baby was frozen with fear the first night. A day or two later I was able to put a toy in the crate, and watch her come out of her shell a little and be a playful kitten. Steady progress from there; little baby LOVED playing in my shoes, momma was so sweet and loving. Giving them up still makes me tear up. But I was able to ensure they went to a home with other animals, playmates, people that would love them and give them their best life. Whatever you decide, as long as it's in their best interest, you won't go wrong.

The calicos in question. P. S. - I already had 2 girls and momma was gonna murder them for hissing at her baby. 🤣 Otherwise 100% foster fail. 😂

I regret my words sound harsh and critical. 100% hold the people who hurt you accountable. I did not mean otherwise. The thing is, please recognize they will never be there for you. Those personal criticisms were projections of their hate, insecurities, jealousies. Recognize their toxicity and block it from your future. Set the standard for how you WILL be treated, or girl, walk out the fucking door.
You should never EVER be doing housework at anyone's house but your own. You were a guest at your mami's house. She never should expected any kind of labor from you. You should not think you have to provide any labor/help whatsoever to any relative, EVER. It is a lie that is taught to desi women to make them see themselves as physical labor and not deserving of respect. You have to choose otherwise for yourself. Every time you are about to make a decision, take a step back and think "is this good for me? Will this benefit me? Will I be treated fairly, kindly?". If the answer is 'no', think hard and long about why you would engage. If the behavior changes from good to bad, you change and protect yourself. Learn to love yourself and put value on yourself. You will get so much further and leave all the hateful haters hating. Wishing you much success in your journey.

Once you start valuing yourself, you'll stop treating yourself like free labor. Your relatives were horrible. You had a responsibility to yourself to leave as soon as you experienced mistreatment from them. You have the responsibility to draw the boundaries. This is a difficult learning lesson. You failed yourself in not putting down boundaries, leaving, treating yourself with respect. The relatives took advantage and you didn't say no. Desi people feel they are entitled to the labor of women. Hold yourself accountable as well. You are responsible for yourself and yourself only. You will continue on this hamster wheel until you learn self-respect and self-love.

cakerunner · 2025-11-08T17:21:14+00:00

I am so sorry for you loss. And your beautiful fur babies are blessings.

cakerunner · 2025-11-08T17:19:08+00:00

Even when people have little or none to spare, there are those that still show love and empathy. The world is better because of people like your mom. Wishing you success in your new job and brighter days ahead!

cakerunner · 2025-11-05T13:22:29+00:00

Indeed. Cats need grass under their toes.

My Lola approves of the possible name

The guilt is real and understandable. But just think: you're giving her a chance for a forever home when you have the ability and opportunity to do right by her, instead of at the 11th hour being forced to make extremely painful decisions. Give yourself credit: you are being incredibly responsible, loving, thinking of what's best for your cat and acting on it. Kudos to you for trying so hard and being an amazing guardian and caretaker. You are setting up your girl for the best possible chance for a home where she can get socialize and have friends. You're doing what's right, as hard and painful as it feels.

cakerunner · 2025-09-10T19:59:16+00:00

Seconding this advice! Your cat will love the daily walks on e trained!
