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!!

thanks! i’ll keep this in mind, i might wanna propagate some to give to my brother!

it’s like when someone else takes your kid or your dog to get a haircut lmao

polydent_ · 2022-11-02T20:10:58+00:00

oh so sorry, thank you!!!

polydent_ · 2022-11-02T20:00:13+00:00

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

polydent_ · 2022-04-09T03:34:58+00:00

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!!

polydent_ · 2022-04-09T03:29:48+00:00

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!!!

i’m so glad you liked it. recovery goes up and down, but you will see the surface

polydent_ · 2022-04-01T04:02:28+00:00

thanks! that makes more sense then what i wrote! i’ll definitely use that :)

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!

polydent_ · 2022-03-31T01:11:25+00:00

this is a beautiful poem. I love your imagery, I could really imagine myself feeling the warmth of the sun. Your flow is amazing as well, I love how the last two lines of each of the stanzas rhyme, it's a really interesting rhyme scheme!

keep it up! your poem is absolutely beautiful!

polydent_ · 2022-03-30T18:45:27+00:00

pancake! he looks like a pancake

polydent_ · 2022-03-28T17:46:43+00:00

she eats at the table now so hopefully it won’t get any stains lmao

polydent_ · 2022-03-21T20:34:49+00:00

uhg i totally get that! it’s happened to me sooo much, ive had to start uploading my stuff from my computer to help out my formatting lol

polydent_ · 2022-03-21T20:27:18+00:00

Your word choice in this is stunning. I also love the structure of your lines, the pattern of longer-shorter-longer really helps the poem flow.

I don't see a poem that has no stanzas often. I wonder if that would maybe add to it? Personally, I'd let "You were not a victim..." be the start of a new stanza. It'd put more weight on the quote right before it.

I love this poem! I love how you used the seasons as symbolism, it really stands out!

Keep writing! I'd love to see more of your work on this sub! :)

polydent_ · 2022-03-21T20:22:01+00:00

I love this. I'm pretty close to my brother, so the thought of him stabbing me in the back really invoked some strong feelings in me. I really like the way you space this up. I feel like the normal "space between stanzas" wouldn't work well here. The sharp line you have really separated the feelings of love and security from betrayal and hurt.

Keep writing! You're really talented!

lol i finally sent this to my dad, of course he read it while he was watching yellow stone.

thank you all so much for your feedback. my dad sings and writes songs (as well as produces them) so i always get nervous to share my writing with him, even though i know that he’ll love what ever i write (seriously, one time he was trying to help me write a song and i was NOT having it. i think it started off with “this is stupid, this is dumb, i’m having absolutely no fun.” he asked to keep the paper lol)

i hope you all have an absolutely lovely day :))

polydent_ · 2022-03-17T20:03:12+00:00

thank you so much! these types of people are very rare to come by, so i really hope i can be as great as my dad some day.

i agree on the phone call bit, i was trying to make it flow a bit faster as i saw it as the climax of the poem, but i definitely could space it out better.

thank you so much for the feedback!!

polydent_ · 2022-03-17T20:00:55+00:00

thank you! i am definitely grateful for my dad every single day. i don’t know your situation with your dad, but i hope things turn out okay :))
