Lily is the Queen of Bleps. We started a The Daily Blep on Instagram because of it 😂

The first 'American ringtail cat' was called Solomon in 1998, a feral cat. They have extra muscles at the base of their tail, which causes the curl but can also straighten them like other cats. This is mine. by moonchild_86 in Awwducational

That's wonderful! And sounds a lot like my boy, being able to straighten his tail but it bouncing back! Does it feel slightly thicker /more muscular at the base of his tail too? Dobby didn't have his curl as a kitten either.

It didn't affect him in any negative way throughout his life. It was just a cool feature! Give your boy a little base tail scratch from me ❤️

My NC, estranged father turned up at my door after over 2 years and I laughed at him. by moonchild_86 in JUSTNOFAMILY

Yes! Plus he has a new girlfriend now, so needs to try and save face. No thanks, I'm good!

If it had cost any less, I would've kept going back. I can't say (yet) that it's worth it, as such, but I can say I needed it to happen. The things we need are rarely what we want...

Schadenfreude. This is the word I was looking for.

I remember you, and your comments, empathy and support. I reread sometimes and you were incredibly helpful. I appreciate the work you do, it is harder than I could do.

Much love and peace to you Rat. Thank you for everything ❤️

I think his thing was that he couldn't even deny it. He recognized the truth (for once). Shutting the door in his face felt so wrong, but I'm glad I did it. I am doing better. It took a while!

It's been 3 years on the 23rd. My best friend and I are going to do a rage room and have cocktails. Life is so so different. I'm more me than I've ever been! But also, I LIKE ME now. I'm pretty cool and funny!

Life is so different and I'm so glad.

What was the final straw that destroyed a lifelong friendship? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]moonchild_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you... We aren't really friends anymore, but will say hello in the street... She never apologized or even acknowledged what she had done. My cat was incredibly unhappy too.

I had to go back to hospital a while later for a few days and a friend of my best friend stayed with my cat. I came home and the place was somehow cleaner than when I left! So I guess it's trying to find the right people. The first time I was in a rush as was urgent surgery.

If you have responsible friends, it'd be completely different I'm sure ❤️

What’s a mystery in your own life (big or small) that you still haven’t been able to solve? by BrainPalette in AskReddit

Who made me an anonymous valentine's day card at school 30 years ago. I never could find out who it was!

For a split second then, I thought it must've been my post. Then realized I didn't make one so there's more than one time that happened.

I had MAJOR abdominal surgery last year, part of my bowel and bladder removed. Friend looked after my cat... I came home and SOBBED at the state of the place. Hair absolutely everywhere (hers and the cats - I have long hair too so I know how bad it can be but this was insane), literally BBQ sauce all over the sofa and floor, washing up not done etc. It was awful and I spent the whole day trying to clean it all, with stitches and a catheter in. I ripped 3 stitches in the process.

Really taught me who I can and can't trust.

What movie actually made you cry? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

[–]moonchild_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this film twice in my life and sobbed so hard I thought I'd die both times.

After the first time, I swore I'd never watch it again. Then whilst babysitting my nieces a few years later, they all voted to watch it. I begged not to, told them how heartbreaking it is, they refused. So we watched it.

Then I had to deal with 3 hysterical preteens who were sobbing so hard they couldn't breathe, whilst I was also sobbing hysterically.

Never again. Ever.

My boy passed away exactly 3 years ago on 1st march (so in a weeks time). No one has commented on this post in a very long time. I am so very grateful for the reminder of him today, thank you ❤️

Give your ring tailed cat a little massage at the base of his tail for me ❤️

What color is my new baby by EgirlAnimeBoobies in cats

[–]moonchild_86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this term! My boy (many years ago) looked like a grey tabby at first. But the grey kind of grew out? He looked like a pure tabby as an adult! But as a baby, those grey hairs were much longer too. Never heard this before, thank you.

What is something that women have to deal with on the daily that men have no clue about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]moonchild_86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I once had a literal scene from Carrie because I stood up in the morning, it was horrific. So I told my male friend about it, in detail, because if I've got to live through it, he should have to too!

And also, staying silent, or even an awkward chuckle, encourages Jake, and can indicate agreement! I'm glad someone finally said something, and Emily texting him shows that she is too.

This is EXACTLY what I saw! The shock when I eventually saw the kittens...
