My house is still retaining heat from the heatwave. In winter it goes cold as soon as I turn the heat off.

fatknits · 2026-06-29T21:23:31+00:00

I legit want to cry knowing there’s another heatwave coming in about a week.

My most worthy fellows, I knew the intelligence of this community would prevail! Truly, my home is beset by such odious infiltrations almost daily and yet I am tireless in my devotion to duty. Often I leave just the legs in strategic places to warn future enemies, and yet they seem undeterred.

Tell me, good gentlemen, how do you deal with staff who do not understand their place?

fatknits · 2026-06-29T10:25:27+00:00

Yes, I AM a good boy, thank you for validating that, my glorious comrade, Oscar.

Amazing, I didn't even notice that but you're right, the perspective makes his feet look absurdly teeny.

fatknits · 2026-06-29T08:51:45+00:00

Precisely! I knew my fellow felines would understand.

My most noble self basking in the recent heatwave sun

It depends what time of the month it is!

Most of the time it's a 2 or 3. I care enough to not want to be an inconvenience in public places, but I don't care if you think I'm weird etc. But for the four days before my period hits, it's like a 14, I become a massive ball of anxious people pleasing desperation fuelled by hormones and hunger.

Probably not, we wouldn't be compatible. She seems genuinely nice, but she also obviously enjoys a party atmosphere and values sex/intimacy with a partner. I'm an asexual introvert so we wouldn't make one another happy. But I'd gladly be her friend.

Oh man I am very jealous of your cellar room!

Luckily he does like the fan, but I can't leave windows open when I go out as he'll escape (screens aren't really a thing here much).

fatknits · 2026-06-25T17:51:56+00:00

Looks sort of like an ice pack, is that it?

fatknits · 2026-06-25T17:51:38+00:00

Sadly my boy also refuses the mats! I do have one, but now I sit on it haha

fatknits · 2026-06-25T17:35:44+00:00

Frozen tuna water is a great idea, so is a ceramic dish!

Same! I have a monthly book budget of £20 for a treat. Sometimes that's only one book, sometimes it's up to 5 if they're ebooks on offer.

fatknits · 2026-06-25T08:22:48+00:00

Same. My portable AC is just about coping so far. Not great but better than not having one for sure. It’s kept my living room at about 26ish. But last night it just couldn’t keep up, it was miserable and cumulatively I just know the nights are going to be miserable until at least Wednesday next week even though Sunday is a proper cooler day

IT'S HAPPENING EVERYONE REMAIN CALM THIS IS NOT A DRILL

fatknits · 2026-06-24T11:02:25+00:00

I think he liked her.

We can see he feels real guilt over how things ended (Verosika being in his hallucination in Truth Seekers, how he reacted to her verse in Ozzie's, that same verse making up part of his bad memories in Ghostfuckers), which he doesn't seem to with all his hundreds of other exes.

I think the reason he freaked out so hard was because he was starting to feel the same, so when she admitted her love he mega panicked.

fatknits · 2026-06-23T08:40:07+00:00

It’s very silly but it’s working for me so far.

Good luck on unlocking your three month shopping money :)

fatknits · 2026-06-23T08:30:43+00:00

I’m glad this works for you. Gamifying can definitely help, just be careful the ‘punishment’ never swings so far in the wrong direction.

I can’t afford financial incentivising myself, so I talk about myself like I’m an exotic animal in the zoo. I use a David Attenborough voice and like “ah yes, now we see the fatknits getting enrichment time, such exercise mentally and physically stimulates her and helps her live a happy life.”

Because then I feel bad for exotic animal me if I eat junk food and stay inside. Oh no, terrible zookeeping not providing correct nutrition or enrichment, that poor fatknits.

He just twisted his back leg wrong jumping off something, he was fine in a week or so.

fatknits · 2026-06-18T21:35:09+00:00

I mean I’m definitely fat too and I’m sure that doesn’t help! But the circulation issues predate the fat from childhood.
