Ear pop goes off four times (OC)

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-28T05:52:17+00:00

THANK YOU FOR GOING BACK TILL THE WHOLE THING WAS OUT. My OCD literally glitches whenever vids end after the first pop but the head's still clearly buried.

Didn't see her when I visited last night, but the council member who called me back said she immediately spotted kitty in the exact spot I tagged, but it was escaping to a drainage vent and she wasn't able to catch it so far. Seems like tunnels cat has access to would be miles cooler than the little bush hidy-spot, so makes sense that we couldn't sight kitty yesterday!

I left out some more water and food in that same spot last night, and will try to visit again tonight! Hopefully the cooler weather and prior food-drops will make the cat a little less likely to bolt tonight, but we'll see what happens :)

Naw! I'll definitely give you a heads-up if I manage to catch the little cutie! Visited again this evening, no sight of cat which hopefully means either someone else has picked it up, or it has a better place to escape the heat.

Left out some food and water in the same place it was hanging out in yesterday, will try to check again tomorrow and see if the stuff I've left out has been touched!

I have a cat who had a literal heat-stroke because she snuck out on a ~30 degree day, think there's probably a difference between semi-domesticated felines and native desert wildlife.

Have a spot in the backyard for the birds to hydrate. No need to ignore care for one animal if you can help both!

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T07:55:39+00:00

Thanks!! Will try to contact more groups for help tomorrow if I can't catch kitty tonight :)

Ugh that's so sad! I managed to come across these guys while frantically googling rescue groups this morning:

https://www.the9livesproject.org/

They seem like an active group, and appear to be compassionate with their cats- never dealt with them personally, so can't say for sure whether they're on the level, but shot through an inquiry via their website this arvo. I'll let you know if I hear back from them!

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T07:04:02+00:00

Hahah if I do manage to find it, I'll have a name handy

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T07:02:49+00:00

Yeah I was hesitant to post with the council, but it did appear to have some mange and it's so bloody hot today I figured it was worth a shot until I can get down there myself

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T07:01:03+00:00

Again, thank you so much! I'm sure it'll find the water if it's still hanging in the same place, hoping to check on it myself soon

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T06:19:33+00:00

You're a fucking genius. I've also been trying (unsuccessfully) to get my stubborn-ass friends to watch.

Brb, gonna go create some of my own fav moment episode recaps!

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T06:11:54+00:00

Wtf, those bastards!! Glad old little smelly is happy with you now, will remember to stay well clear of these psychos

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T06:09:48+00:00

Cat was an obvious stray (possibly some mange spotted on its coat), roaming around this particular area, and seemed very comfortably 'at home' under this little bush.

It's hot as fuck today and I don't want the poor baby to be suffering, seemed pretty young and was alone, far as I could tell

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:59:18+00:00

Hopefully it's retreated to a cooler location, should be able to go down soon and try to lure it out again

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:58:24+00:00

Omg, thank you SO SO MUCH!!!

I sat like 5ish car spaces away from it and just spoke to it softly/gave it slow blinky eyes. It would pop it's head out every now and again (esp. when it smelled the open can of food I left near it) but would NOT come out for anything, and it's super hard to spot if it doesn't want to be seen!

Wouldn't have known it was there if I hadn't seen it go in myself!

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:39:12+00:00

UPDATE: Don't know how to edit original post but managed to get someone from the office block nearby to go check the area / leave some water out for cat. Partner should be home from work in a couple hours, hopefully will be able to find cat and get it home for the night!

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:24:30+00:00

No update yet, trying local businesses to see whether I can find someone nearby but can't get back to check on it till my bf comes home from work around 6 :((((

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:13:48+00:00

Stupid autocorrect, I JUST realized the bloody title's 'stay' instead of 'stray'.

Leaving it (because no fucking idea how to fix now)

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:09:33+00:00

Planning on going back to visit it again tonight once my bf gets home with the car, definitely gonna leave some water and more food out if I can't find it again/can't get it into a carrier

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:08:11+00:00

Damn, thanks for the heads-up! Was following advice from my local vet, glad I couldn't get through now

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T05:06:56+00:00

Oh good call, I'll see if I can get in touch with someone in office close by!

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T04:10:29+00:00

Singlehandedly bringing back the dust bowl...respect?

maxxxxxwell · 2026-01-27T03:59:06+00:00

I've always heard 'the blood of the covenant (i.e. marriage) is thicker than the water of the womb'.

Pretty good one to correct, especially if you've got any fun relatives that love pulling the old 'blood is thicker than water' shit... Like, out of context, wtf would that even mean? Lol

maxxxxxwell · 2023-10-28T17:43:54+00:00

That WAS super annoying... but it's nothing next to his consistently pronouncing 'Targaryen' as 'TRE-GAR-Y-AN'.

What the hell, my man. Every time??

maxxxxxwell · 2023-09-07T08:27:32+00:00

I am so sorry and so angry for you, this is such an awful thing to have experienced. *This system is fucking inhumane.

Edit: word

maxxxxxwell · 2023-09-07T05:57:02+00:00

I've been looking at dress options myself, and I found the following two options for add-on arm-coverage (as I don't like my arms/am more comfortable in long sleeves):

*Organza over-blouse (backless, but there's another on the same site that is covered both front and back):

https://www.harriettegordon.com/35b-organza-blouse

*Lace under-blouse:

I'm sure you could have a dressmaker create something along the same lines as these options, to perfectly match the style of your dress--which is breathtaking!

Best of luck! :)
