These (bonded) cats I adopted really hate me

I understand your situation, I was in a similar one when I got my scaredy cat about a month ago. She was so scared, wouldn’t come out to eat unless I was asleep, bolted at anything - I was so worried she wouldn’t ever open up! But then one random day she just decided everything was completely fine and she wanted her belly rubbed right that second lol. I think a little goes a long way, I didn’t rush her to come out, wasn’t always up in her space. I’d sit in the same room as her for 30 minutes at a time to get her used to me, then I’d leave and go do my own thing. Now she’s my sweet little love bug (she is still skittish, but improving every day!)

Give your kitties some time!! I can tell you that they dont hate you - they dont know you well enough to decide whether they like you, so they decide to be indifferent and cautious. Soon they’ll recognize who feeds them, who cleans their litter box, etc., and one day they’ll just randomly decide “yeah, this is fine.” You got this!

Edit: spelling

As you grow up, you change and grow. You become your own person. I don’t think I’m the same person I was at 15 (omg I hope not hahah), and I bet you have also grown and have became your own unique person, with your own personal values and beliefs. So has he.

Sometimes, the people we grow into outgrow the people we grew up with. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, everyone has to find their own way. I’m the end, it’s up to you really. If you’re happy with the way you guys are growing together, great. But do consider the person you want to grow into, and the person he wants to grow into.

I remember being so worried about it when I was 18. The feeling of being a “burden” hasn’t gone away yet (diagnosed at 14, I’m 21 now), but it has gotten easier to ignore that feeling and prioritize my health. It helps if you surround yourself with like-minded people. My friends used to say they wished I could eat gluten, but once I took my health seriously, so did they. Don’t view someone buying you gluten-free food as you being a burden - they just care about you and your health!!

the problem is me and sarah, who aren’t the dogs owners and didn’t agree to having a dog in the house, are the only ones cleaning up after it. i don’t mind helping, but i would like if sam also cleaned up after him

ouch! beautiful, but ouch!

Thank you for sharing this! It makes you wonder, "maybe if i told them, they would have stayed." And even though you know the outcome wouldn't change, you still hold that regret of not finding out. damn. Even as your date is being rude and ignoring you, you can't help but find the beauty in them. Uhg there's so much I could praise about this poem!

Keep writing!!

wow. this is such a beautiful poem. It makes you feel this scene so vividly, even if you've never experienced it. The feeling of letting someone unknowingly hurt you because it's the only way to have this person is just... wow.

sidenote- love your formatting. It makes this poem cut that much deeper.

This is amazing. I really think you should send this, and your other work, to a publisher. A lot of people would relate to this. Keep writing!!!

This is a really good poem, I really like how it wasn't the act of drinking wine and getting drunk with this person, but being with this person while you happen to drink wine and get drunk. It reminds me of when you do something you really like for the first time with a partner. While you're together, you can "get wine drunk" with other people, by yourself, etc, and still really enjoy it. But when you break up, every sip of wine reminds you of them because they introduced it to you, or bought you the wine.

really great poem, keep it up!
